Neither Shakespeare Nor Bacon.

A new Daniel has come to judgment
on the Shakespeare-B Bacon controversy
and aliily declares that neither one
nor the other wrote the Shakespeare
plays. DR.. Karl Bleibtreau. a noted
German authority on literature and
history, Is the one who puts forward
this view, coupling 1t with the claim
that the man who did write the plays
was Roger, earl OF Rutland. who was
born October G. 1876. and who was q
sonln-law of Sir Philip Sydney. DR..
Bleibtreau has devoted much research
to English history, but he hardly lives
up to his name, which Is transferable

| formation of leaves into birds Long
| years ago, when the world was young
the Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful Wherever his
feet touched the ground lovely trees
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
dresses. The leaves were very happy,
and they sang their sweet songs to the
breeze as II passed them One day the
wind told them the time would soon
come when they would have to fall
from the trees and die. This made the
leaves feel very sad. but they tried to
be bright and do the best they could
so as not to make the mother trees
unhappy. But mt last the time came,
and they let 20 of the twigs and
branches and fluttercd to the ground.
They lay prefectly quiet, not able TO
move except as the wind would lift
them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were so lovely that he
did not want to see them die, but live
and be beautiful forever. so he gave
to each bright leaf a pair OF wings
and power to fly. Then he called them
his birds" From the red and brown
leaves of the oak came the robins. and
yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves. and from bright maple leaves
he made the red birds. This is why
the birds love the trees and always
