described the splendor of the Egyptian Queen
arrayed to meet the conquering Antony. Here is
the prose of Norths translation:

his great military career, and of the steps by which
he reached the position in which find him at the
opening of the play. But Shakespeare's theme is
not the rise greatness of Caesar, but the death
and revenge, and behind that the philosophy of
political situation the of which the threat
of a despotism already made inevitable by the
degeneracy of the populace So he sets aside, or,
rather, takes for granted the heroic Caesar; and is
content to show him to chiefly as he appeared to
his enemies.
With all the careful manipulation of perspective,
the adjusting of shade and high light, the bringing
into relief the political significance at the expense
of personal portraiture, we find at times an
almost savish reproduction of bits of action and
phrasing. Compare the following:
So Brutus boldly asked what he was, god man,
and what brought him thther? The spirit answered
him, Il thy evil spirit, Brutus and thou shalt
me by the city of Philippes
Brutus being otherwise afraid replied again unto it.
We'll then shall see thee again.

That mak'st my blood cold and my hair to stare?

Bru. Well; then | shall thee again?

Bru. Why, will see thee at Philippi then.

cats And it didn't help us much the next day to
read notice which the temperance Teller had stuck
up all over town, sayin': The Rundums Are Seeing
Blue Cats Come to the Meeting Tonight and
Hear All About It.
Did you go? asked.
Well guess we did, and the Teller pitched into
us like hurricane off Hatteras; told us the end had
about come, that pink rabbits and double moons
chds play alongside of blue cats The mice
and rats of re1norse were gnawlng at our in ards,
and the Lord had sent the blue cats to ketch EN-

sharks of Belzebub. Well sir, believe it or not, but
he got us-we marched up to that table and signed
the pledge like hungry sailors going for meal-tickets

had to do something, that would jolt us, and jolt
brass josh about it. He painted the cats; and
that amt all: he put phosphorus on EN- and tethered

Laughter did not move Cook from his deep
solemnity After awhile the incompleteness of the
story dawned upon me. Hold on! L said. Il

of the story The Teller didn't tell us about pantin
the cats until he'd got to vote unanimous for local

pathos, the law won't be out for two years.
1t was impossible to offer him either comfort
consolation. He gazed at the sky longingly, and
said a tar-Otf way:

Something akin. but not exactly, he replied.
More like nor easter-a leetle spot way off yonder

as it come down the coast. We didn't think anythin
of it for time, because we had had other revivals
and they didn't shake us; but the Teller who was
runnin this special, particular storm knew his bust
ness-yes Stree he surely knew his businessl-and he
had riggin whistn and old ship tossin'
before could trim sail. Fact is, he had almost
beam ends afore could get her around

he'd better go home; but he got earnest about it

We didn't say much Immediately because
couldn't believe eyes; but there was the cat and
it bluer than wash Monday. After wait we
shouted to if it alive, and the consarned

We throwed stones-that is throwed EN-

of amateur literary detectives could have unmasked
him. But it is probable that it never occurred to
him that any question of ethics or of professional
distinction was at all involved For him the play
was the thing and in the making of that a creation
of life and beauty he did not scruple to whatever
seemed to him serviceab1e. That the point of view
he occupied in it's lack of sef-consciousness

of doubt. And the study of his example and his

Rumor without Foundation

The rumor that the West Jersey and
Seashore railroad intend to abandon
the Winslow Junction route between
the seashore resorts and Philadelphia
to be without foundation. The
railroad officials at Camden, when in
terviewed on the subject by a local
business man, gave no grounds for the
statement that all express trains in the
future will run by way of Millville, the
former route, instead ofon the Winslow

1t would be rather difficult to find a
storekeeper who does not believe that
in some respect his establishment is
better than that of his competitors.
His advantage whether it be superior
ity of location, or of delivery service,
or of craftsmanship, or of what not
ought to be emphasized in his advertis-
ing. The best feature of any merchants
business ceases to be a feature if he
fails to tell the public about it. The
only way the seller a get away from
the dead level of equality is to impart
to buyers the confidence he feels in
himself. The JOURNAL will help.

All the world loves a fighter, as well
as a lover.
This is true ever in quiet, peace
seeking Philadelphia, and because it
is true is the eason why philadelphia
thinks SO much of Thomasm
dale.
For Mr.. Martindale, as everybody
knows, is a fighter.
He began, as a small boy, fighting
for an existence, and he has been fight
ever since. In his younger days he
spent most of his energy fighting for
dollars and success. Latterly, having
obtained these, he has been fighting
for a rejuvenated Philadelphia and1for
the peoples rights.
The remarkable feature of his life
story is that he has obtained nearly
everything he fought for.
Mr.. Martindale is by birth an Eng
lishman, which may account in some
degree for that bulldog tenacity which
has distinguished his busy life. If
there is one national characteristic
which has helped more than another
to make the British Empire what it is
to-day, 1t is that ''hangon" determina-
ton, which is as much instinct with
a bullpup as for it to eat when it is
hungry.
BUFFETED ABOUT AS A o
From his English parents Mr.. Mar
tindale inherited this spirit, and he
breathed it in the air of Ling Riggs,
Weardale, County Durham, England,
until he was IL years old. For it was
there that he was born, December
Is, 1916.
In 1858 his parents came to this side
of the Atlantic, settling first at Canaan
daigua, N. Y. They remained there a
year, and in 1854 removed to London,
Canada. There were twelve children
in the family, and Thomas was the
eldest. The fathers wages was only
$3.50 a day. For fourteen persons this
was not a princely allowance, even in
those days of open competition and
simple living. But it served to teach
a boy the value of a dollar and to lay
the foundation of a career which stands
out as unique as it has been successful.
For Thomas Martindale is one of
the successful business men of Phila-
delphia. Call him a common scold,
an old woman, a meddler, or whatever
else you wish, the fact remains that he
is a great success as a business man.
And it might just as well be admitted
first as last that his scolding and his
meddling have made Philadelphia a
better place to live in and to do bust
ness in than 1t was before he began to
take notice of things.
The proper name for it is public
spirit.
But it doesn't matter to Mr.. Martini
dale what you call it. He does what
he thinks is right, no matter what
people may say or think about him.
In the early days of the Trades
League, fifteen years ago, when Mr.
Martindale got up to speak everybody
laughed. And somebody was sure to
make a remark about "another Kick.u
They knew that, when Martindale
talked, he clicked" But he "kifked'
so persistently and go intelIigently
that he converted first the Trades
League and, second, the corpoFation
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1906-12-05

of the Trades League. The tentative
movement for a business organization
which should include the whole of the
city's many-sided business activities
had been launched with the new year
Of 1891, but languished without effec-
tive organization for nearly three
months, the separate commercial or
CARNATIONS either openly or secretly
discouraging it. At a meeting held
in Independence Hall on March %,
1891, MI. Martindale, who was to
have been one of four or five speakers,
found himself the only one, the others
having remained away from timidity
or for other reasons.
He proved equal to the occasion.
Gifted by nature with the power of
forcible speech, he inspired the hand
full of half hearted, who bad gathered
there, with enough of his own zeal and
enthusiasm to effect an organization
on the spot.
By methods suggested by himself,
he soon had the satisfaction of seeing
the membership of the league grow to
more than 1000 individuals and firms
and become the chief trade %organiza-
ton of the city.
He declined the presidency, put
agreed to serve as a member of the
principal committees. He was untir-
ing In his efforts to secure stopover
privileges, cheaper freight and passen-
ger rates, more steamship lines, an
adequate telephone service and d deep
waterway to the sea. This was in the
early days of the Trades League, and
he was successful in all these under
takings.
His efforts of late have been directed
toward obtaining a betterment of the
transportation facilities of the city. He
knows, as a keen business man, that
the key to a city's prosperity is a
quick, comfortable, cheap t%ransporta-
ton service. And he has worked hard
to rescue Philadelphia from the trac-
ton monopoly which has for years re-
tarded her growth.
No man in the city is better posted
on the transportation problem, for he
has studied it al close range and from
all sides for years. In fact, that Is the
Martindale way of doing things. He
goes TO the bottom of every subject he
takes up, and he knows all about it be-
fore he begins TO talk.
Mr.. Martindale was chairman of the
Citizens Committee which brought
about a settlement of the street car
mems strike on Christmas Eve, 1895;
he suggested and organized the Peace
Jubilee; he led the movement to pro-
hibit ticket scalping; he vas chairman
of the Citizens National Republican
Convention Committee; he was a mem
sefef the acknowledgements
vice president and chairman of the
Executive Committee of the New York
and Philadelphia Ship Canal Com
mission
In all reform movements for fifteen
years MIR. Martindale has been promi-
nent, taking part in the ga~s-lease pro-
test and presiding at the recent town
meeting in the Academy of Music
which nominated d. Clarence Glib
honey for District Attorney.
