PRIEST WHIPS A TRAMP.
Hobo Gets an Illustration of Muscular
Christianity.

Indianapolis.-Rev. Francis Henry
Gavisk, one OF the most popular mem
bers of the Catholic priesthood in In
diana, showed the other afternoon that
he had not forgot how to take care of
himself in fight. He quickly disposed
of a tramp who insulted him at his
own home.
The tramp rang the door bell and
asked for something to eat. He was
insolent about 1t, but Father Gavisk
gave him a dime. At that the tramp
acted as If he was deeply offended.
DO you think / am going to cheap
restaurant" he asked.
81 guess you don't want that dime;
so give it back" answered the priest
The tramp replied with a string Of
oaths that he wouldn't give up the
money, whereupon Father Gavisk
grappled with him. There was a short,
sharp struggle. which the priest won.
He not only recovered the money, but
hoved the man into the street before
he could recover his balance. The
tramp attempted to renew the attack,
but the priest was too clever with his
fists to be injured.

Comparison Of Style of Beaumont ane
Fletcher with that of Shakespere.
BY MRS. ANNA l.. DAWES.

BY MRS. ANNA l.. DAWES.
characteristics of Shakespere's style.
His naturalness, his humour and his
comparative morality.
Shakespeare stands alone and
unique among the dramatists OF all
time. he belongs as much, and is en-
joyed as much by an audience today,
as any time since he wrote. The
change OF taste and morals demands
a leaving out but not making over.
Shakespeare plots advance by leaps
and bounds. His language is full of
metaphors and impassioned exagger-
ations. He sounds the heights and
depths OF human passion. But 1t is
human passion naturally worked
out. Where SHAKESPEARE advances by
bounds, Beaumont and Fletcher are
almost narrative in the clear and
easy flow of dramatic construction.
Where Shakespeare transports or stirs
the deepest passions, Beaumont and
Fletcher simply delight us. They are
nearer the level of the common place.
With them we leave the region of
cruelty and revenge and come to the
region ofpleasant, light-hearted Eng
lish girls.
Beaumont and Fletcher are always
amusing. Their heroines never attain
to the perfection of fShakespere's hero
ines. But their stories areinteresting
and their characters attractive.
Shakespeare ia a Niagara foaming
along, going by leaps, sounding the
depths, bearing the full, deep tide Of
English speech and dashing it on the
rocks OF human passion, smothered
In the spray of metaphors, ,invectives,
epithets aud extravagances flecked
with the foam of humour. He de
lights, he arouses, he terrifies, he daz-
zles, he appeases, he carries us along
I'm the sweep OF passion and energy
of language.
Beaumont and Fletcher, are
quiet, mountain stream, gliding
through sunny landscapes, pleasing
and amusing, by which, we can loi-
ter on May morning and find plea
sure withoutfear.
Their plays have passed from off
the theatre boards and are not gener-
ally read.
Shakespeare still gains in favor ell
ther acted on the stage or read In the
library. There is strength as Of gran
ite rock in The Maids Tragedy. There
The newspaper., 1907-03-15

is glad, eXuberant music and "a May
morning liz hit and freshness in The
Faithful Shepherdess which Milton
did not disdain to accept as a model in
the lyrical portions of Comus and OF
which the Endymion of Keats is but
an echo.
In these plays Beaumont and
Fletcher are the gayest, cleverest gen
tlemen. They never sound the deep
sea of passion. They disport them
selves dolphin like on it's surface.
They have no power of serious char
acterization and their numerous Gre
ations are seldom consistent; but
they say the most clever, pleasant
and glancing things. Morally, little
can be said in their praise. No aud
ience Of the present day could sit out
the representation of their puresu
plays. Some OF the impurest plays
are beyond conception, yet there is
always an air of good breeding
about them and the filth is handled
in most gentlemanly manner.
Shakespeare stands above them like
Mt. Blanc above the SUBMITS of the
lower Alps. Conspicuous not only
from his altitude, but from his purity.

How the Admiral Had His Quiet Fun
With the Temperance Folk.

A prominent naval officer tells a
story that exhibits Admiral Schley
somewhat in the light of a humorist
Some years ago Schley was in COM
mand Of one of the old navy ships that
was fitting out at the Brooklyn navy
ward for a foreign cruise. Now. naval
officers of the wardroom carry a lot
Of beer with them when they start on
a cruise. They are not, as rule,
heavy drinkers, but they like beer at
mess with their meals. This beer is
taken on board in bottles packed in
straw and placed in immense hogs.
heads.
II appears that a few days before
Schley's vessel was TO sail for for
eign station, large party of Brook
lyn Sunday school teachers visited the
ship in body. The party was much
interested in watching the crew stow
and break the stores.
On the main deck stood one of the
big hogsheads packed full of beer bot
ties that had been emptied. This
hogshead of empty bottles was about
to be hoisted There was no way for
the uninitiated to tell whether they
were filled or empty; but the Sunday
school teachers Immediately concluded
that the bottles were loaded. Accord.
ingly they regarded the hogshead with
stern disapproval After a hurried
consultation they determined to send
delegate to the commander with ref.
erence to the hated hogshead.
Sir. said the former to Schley, '.it
is matter of deep regret that your
vessel should carry such huge guam.
tity of intoSicants."
The Quick-witted Schley knew at
once that the hogshead was at the bot
tom of the trouble, but he did not ''let
on, So. when the emissary spoke Of
the many. many beer bottles he had
seen. Schley exclaimed: why. it's
simply shocking" Then, with his Wis
itor. he left the cabin and repaired to
the main deck. "Bos' un's mate he
called out, send me some deckhands
at once. The hands were aft in an
instant
Rig tackle and dump that hogs.
head over the side. ordered Schley.
The sailors. who knew that the bot
ties were empty, were all grins, but in
iiffy they had the hogshead over the
side into the water The Brooklyn
party looked on approyingly, and when
the offending bottles had disappeared
they gathered around Schley and told
him what noble example he bad set
for the men. Schley took it all with
becoming modesty. For the fun he
had out of it he paid couple OF dol
lars into the wardroom mess for the
loss of the empty bottles. which
should hare been returned to the
dealer.-N. Y. Times

With Mr., Darlington though, Of

But on the morning OF her wedding
