SHAKESPEARE, GOES TO
LONDON.

Tradition says that once when Shake
speare was out hunting he saw some deer
out in the park and shot them.s The own
or of the castle was going to have him
arrested. but tradition says that he fled
TO London. 1t Is thought by some that
he went to be an actor IIe corrected
plays for the. stage, and In 80 doing
learned to write plays for himself. He
naturally learned history because he lived
near historic places. He returned to
Stratford when he was forty-eight years
old and passed the remainder of his life
at his old home. LUCY ANDERSON.

NueIe inc SOiuleTS louSHt ana IGll,
Where the blue and gray fought fiercely
That time l remember well.
In the grass found picture
OF n girl with eyes of blue,
Smiling lips end golden hair
And with cheeks rosy hue.
Who is she? this pretty maiden,
With the love light in her eye;
Did some brother leave her lonely
When the moon was in the sky?
Did some soldier boy in gray
Leave her one bright, sunny day?
Or was she forever true
To a soldier boy in blue?
Did some husband fondly whisper:
Dearest, I'll return again.?
Did he die upon the field,
And she wait for him In vain?
All! who loved this pretty maiden?
Soldier boy In blue or gray?
Did he leave her broken hearted
When he Went to fight the fray?
Well. whoever loved this maiden
Some day, soon or late must die:
Never lips may tell the story,
Sadly thought l. with a sigh.
