SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL.
Held EUery Ap,I IN Poets Birth
TO7Cn.

For more than quarter of a century the
world famous town of Stratford by the "sOrt
flowing Avon" has witnessed a great festival in
honor of Shakespeare. At first the celebrations
covered one week. but as they gradually at
tracted pilgrims from France Germany Ameri-
ca. and even far off Australia they lengthened
until the festival lasts at least three weeks
beginning the first week in April and invaria-
bly, covering the poets birthday on the ed OF
the month, the date generally accepted as no
was christened April 20.
This year the performances in the huge rcd
brick and stone Memorial Theatre have been as
usual under the direction of +. r. Benson. Shake
spearian scholar and actor. who has superin-
tended the festival plays for sixteen consecutive
seasons.
This year has brought together a great array

souvenir OF Il golden hour spent amid the serene

truth to tell. presents a striking contrast with
the somewhat vulgar uproar of Stratford's
streets in fair time.

Wanted
For the U. S. Civil Service.

Young men and women at $500 to $2600 year. For years the government has been unable to secure sufficient help in various departments of the public service at the salaries above indicated. Hence the last congress raised the wages of nearly all civil service employees.

 Those who attend the San Bernardino Business College will have the double advantage of making their preparation and taking the examinations at the same place.
