In the Shadow Of the Sacred Cod.

A young lady. evidently an anna
teur fisherman, presented an odd
sight as she walked up Atlantic ave-
nue. Sunday with a large cod in her
hand. To all appearances she had
been fishing and the fish that she
carried was the prize of the catch.
She insisted on carrying 1t with her
on the electric car, and although
many held their noses as the car sped
on she paid no attention to them, but
instead simply smAed.--Boston Even

HIS kite, attached to q fishing line
shot heavenward in beautiful style
something really Eddyesque. When II
got up about 800 feet the man passed
the tackle over to his little son, say

other youngster on the field was filled
with envy. We old fellows know that
a kite will bite and tug and dart and
dive just like fish; and here is boy
learning the art Of angling ON dry

storms. Splendid sport. Cheap and
manly. And 1t makes good fishermen.

is of man who, suffering from in
famed eyes, went to a horse doctor
for treatment. The veterinary gave
him some of the salve that he used
on animals, and the man lost his
eyesight. He then brought suit in
court to recover damages. The
judge, after weighing the evidence
in the case, handed down his deci-
sion as follows: There are no dam
ages to be recovered. The man

THE MELANCHOLY DANE.
Supposed Source Of the Plot Of Shake"
speare's "Han1iet."

While Shakespeare no doubt
wrote the tragedy of Hamlet" as
it is found today, he borrowed many
of his data from an earlier writer,
Saxo Grammaticus, a Danish his
torian who died about 1904. His
writings we've in Latin, and in
Shakespeare time they had not
been translated into any modern
language. The story is to be found
in Belleforest's collection of nov
els, begun in 1864, and an English
translation of it was published en-
titled The Hystorie Of Hamblet,
Prince of Denmarke." Horvendile
in the novel is the name of Ham,
let's father, Fengon that Of his un-
Gle and Gervth that OF his mother.
Fengon traitorously Stays Horven-
die and marries his brothers wife.
In the second chapter Hamlet coun-
terfeits the madman to escape the
tyranny of his uncle. Through the
Vaccinations Of his uncle he is
tempted by q woman, the uncle
thinking thereby 10 undermine the
prince and find out whether his
madness is counterfeited or not.
In the third chapter Fengon, the
uncle, tries a.second time to en-
trap Hamlet in polite madness and
causes one of his councillors to be
secretly hidden in the queens
chamber behind the curtains TO
hear what speeches pass between
Hamlet and the queen. Hamlet
kills him and thus escapes danger.
In the fourth chapter Hamlet is
sent to England by Fengon, with
secret letters, to have him put to
death. While his companions sleep
Hamlet counterfeits the letters
willing the king of England to put
the two messengers to DEATH" Here
ends the resemblance between the
history and the play. The Hamlet
of the history returns to Denmark,
slays his uncle, burns his palace,
makes an Grafton to the Danes and
is elected king. He goes back to
England, kills the king of that
country, returns to Denmark with
two English wives and finally falls
through the treachery /of one Of
these ladies'. This is the supposed
source of the plot of Shakespeare's
"Hamlet."

WHERE TILLMaN STAYS.
He Has Comfortable Apartments In
"The Farraqut" In WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. January 11:-As
soon as a citizen of South Caro-
lima reaches Washington he
makes a beeline for the Capitol,
in quest of member Of the Con
gressional delegation, with a
preference for senator Tillman.
AS chairman of the committee
of the five civilized tribes the
South Carolina Senator has a
a comfortable apartment on
the gallery floor of the senate,
adjacent to the document room.
This committee room is easy OF
access in two directions, and it
is rarely that it is not the scene
of a conference between mem
bers of the South Carolina dele
CATION and some of their consti.
tuents.
Recently a party of gentlemen
from the Palmetto State were
visiting Senator Tillmau and
one of the them asked him how
it came about that he had been
assigned to the committee of
of which he was chairman.
SIT has been a puzzle to me-"
replied Mr. Tillman, "and the
only solution would seem to be
that my colleagues in the senate
look upon me as a big chief and
good Indian"
When not in his committee
room or on the floor of the
senate, the South Carolina
senior Senator can be found at
the Farragut apartment house,
to which he was removed from
the Normandie hotel, where he
resided for a while this winter.
His present quarters are in one
of the most aristocratic portions
of Washington and he is with in
easy walking distance. OF the

SOLDIER and A PACK OF CARDS.
A Pack Of Cards Serves Tor Bible, Al.
lnanac and Prayer Book.
(Publhhed by Request }

tPublhhed by Request.>
A private soldier was taken
before the Magistrate of Glas-
Cow for playing cards during
Divine service.
The account is given in the
"English Journal. A sergeant
commanded the soldiers at the
church, and when the parson
read the prayers he took his
text. Those who had a Bible
took it out, but the soldier had
neither Bible nor common pray
er book, but pulling out a PACK
of cards, he spread them out be-
fore him. He looked at one and
then at another. The sergeant
of the command saw him and
said:
"Richard, put up the cards,
this is no place for them. "
"Never mind that" said
Richard.
When the service was over the
constable took Richard prisoner
and carried him before the May
or.
"What have you brought this
soldier here for?"
"For playing cards in church. "
"Well, soldier, what have you
got to say for YOURSELF"
"Much, sir, l hope"

punish you more than ever a
man was punished"

dier, "about six weeks on the
march; have neither Bible nor
Prayer book; have nothing but
a pack of cards, and hope to
satisfy your lordship with the
purity of my intentions"
Then spreading the cards be-
fore the Mayor, he began with
the ace:
"When l see the ace, if re-
minds me that there is but one
God.
When see the deuce, it re-
minds me of the Father and
Son.
When l see the three, 1t re-
minds me of the unity of the
Godhead in the trinity of per-
sons.
When see the four, it re-
minds me of the four Evange-
lists that preached: Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John.
When see the five, it reminds
me of the wise virgins that
trimmed their lamps-there
were ten, FIVE were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds
me that in six days the Lord
made heaven and earth.
When I see seven, it reminds
me that on the seventh day God
rested from: the great work He
had made and hallowed it.
When I see the eight, it re-
minds me of the eight righteous
persons that were saved, when
God destroyed the World-Noah
and his wife, his three sons and
their wives.
When l see the ten, it reminds
me of the ten commandments
