No matter what you may believe or

that he believes something else is I'M

GRAFT AND LEADER
Many scholars have long believed
speare. In recent years Ignatius Don
nelly published a book purporting to
give evidence adverse to Shakespeare
and in favor of Francis Bacon. Not of
ten is an author derided for his pains as
was the honorable statesman from
Minnesota.
But, wonderful to tell, during the
last few years startling evidence has
been brought to light vindicating the
jeered at Donnelly An American, a
DR.. Owen of Detroit, discovered a so
called word cipher running through the
Shakespeare plays. When our gov
eminent desires to communicate Sc
cret matters to absent representatives
it employs such a cipher. When this
cipher is applied to the message its
meaning is made plain. In like man
he had discovered to Hamlet and
Otn6IlO, TO MdcD6In ana Lear, HlOSI
astounding details of English history
and dramas and other works as fine as
any in English literature were brought
to light.
Moreover an assistant of DR.. Owen,
Mrs Gallup, while perusing one of Ba-
cons philosophical works, was struck
with the pains which Bacon took to ex-
plain and illustrate what he called the
best cipher ever invented. He called
it the bilitteral cipher because in its
use he employed letters from two founts
slightly differing from each other.
Mrs. Gallup's investigation proved
correct her surmise that Bacon had
made use of this bihtteral cipher for
So years in works published in his
own name and in those of Shake
speare, Johnson, Spenser and still 9TH
ers.
Now this bilitteral cipher is both ex-
tremely simple in its application and
exact in revealing what is hidden. Ey-
cry five letters of the Tempest. for ex-
ample. give one letter of the infolded
matter. These new found letters,

just talking. Satire surely belongs to
humor, and Shaw is the most satirical
of present day playwrights or plat
form entertainers. He also delights In
a joke. Once he gave Richard Mans
field several days of discomfort. which
Shaw enjoyed keenly. He had handed
a new play to Mansfield for the actor
to read Mansfield lost 1t on his way
to his lodgings, but shrani from tell
ing Shaw of the loss. The latter pelted
him with questions as to how he liked
the play, what he thought of the muir
der scene in the first act and the duel
in the second act, to which Inquiries
Mansfield made guarded replies. Then
he discovered that the manuscript.
which had Shaw's name and address
on the outside. had been found and re-
turned to Ihc author the same day 1t
was lost and that the murder and the
duel were not in the play at all.

Dublin. His father was not rich, but
George Bernard recently has resented
a newspaper statement CHASING him
as "a peasant lad" The elder Shaw
was something in the line of a flour
merchant. One day he caught his son
playing in the street with the son of a
plebeian who sold nails, probably mere
horse nails, and after that the boy was
kept off the streets excepting when he
broke loose, which, in the language of
Dan Quin, was "some frequent

many lands. A few years ago Mr..
Shaw informed the English people in
a lecture that he himself in many re-
spects was greater than Shakespeare.
though he admitted that shakespeare
was an extremely able and clever man
I'm his way" Now he comes forward
In partial support of Tolstofs conten-
ton that Shakespeare was ignorant of
the dramatic art, though of course Mr..
Shaw, to be consistent with himself,
takes issue with the Russian on some
points of opinion. That Mr.. Shake
speare wrote wnat is attributed to him
the world is not absolutely convinced,
but Mr. Shaw is much better known to
the world. so that we cannot doubt
that he says what he says.
Inoffensiye Egotist.
Egotists are of two classes-the Of
fensive and the inoffensive. The Of
fensiye egotist Is dull person whose
vision Is barricaded on all sides by the
multiplied "P' set up like high board
fence and whose voice never carries
beyond this barrier. The inoffensive
egotist is an extremely bright person
who makes an aspiring pedestal of the
'T" and stands tiptoe upon it, his VI
sion embracing wide horizon and his
voice shouting so far that it makes
musical echoes against the hills. We
laugh at the offensive egotist. We
laugh with the inoffensive egotist. So
we laugh loud and long with George
Bernard Shaw.
Years ago Mr.. Shaw wrote sketch
of himself in these words: "a bachelor,
an Irishman, vegetarian, an atheist,
a teetotaler, a fanatic, a humorist,
duent liar. Social Democrat, lee
turer and debater, lover of music, a
fierce opponent of the present status
of women and an insister on the serf-
Gus In art"
Since then he has become Benedict
and playwright, but the rest Of the
description seems to fit him. He neg
,iected TO call himself a novelist, though
in his youth he wrote five novels. He
neglected also TO record that he was
critic of music and the drama for the
London press. But in those days he

two out of his pocket, order a serving
of cod liver oil and proceed to feast
In those days Mr. Shaw's clothing
bill was not much of nightmare to
him. He scorned anything in the ma
ture of starchy linen. wearing soft
flannel shirts with roll collars, and had
no more use for pair of cuffs than a
monkey has for n stickpin. He dress
ed like n workingman and ate like a
canary. Having absolutely no use for
tobacco, liquor. society or other vices
what use had he for money?
Young Shaw became Socialist
which is not surprising. He was one
of that famous group of Fabians
whose theories as expressed in little
book of Fabian Essays by himself
and a fellow enthusiast have become
a part of the Socialists sacred litera-
ture. Shaw used to mount a soap box
or beer barrel at the open forum in
Hyde park and harangue those crowds
to which William Morris also some
times talked. Thus he Secame an
easy speaker, which stands him in
good stead in his lecture work, for
this tireless laborer usually keeps three
or four lecture courses running in
England with himself as the lecturer.
"Made Good" With the Public.
Eight years ago Mr.. Shaw married.
which was surprising. Nobody would
have believed it of him. Had he not
harangued against the existing instftu-
ton of marriage? Had he not averred
and avowed that the world was all
wrong, awry, topsy turvy and t'other
end foremost on that subject? Verify,
yes. Nevertheless he went with his
chosen lady, who believed in him and
with him to some extent, to a regis
trar's Office and was legally welded.
Strange to record, the marriage took
place on the romantic and conventional
first day Of June. Though nobody here
tofore seems TO have called attention to
the fact, it is worthy of note that since
his marriage Mr.. Shaw has made
good" with the public, a thing he never
did before. Up to the age of forty-two
he wrote and rallied and laughed and
iambasted, he frothed and flabbergast-
ed furiously, but until just about that
time all his poundings for popularity
never made much of dent IN the

DISCRIMINATING LADIES
Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account of
Its Distinctiveness.

The ladies who have used Newbro' S
Herpicide speak of it in the highest
terms, for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp of dandruff and also for its
excellence as a general hair dressing.
1t makes the scalp feel fresh and it al
lays that itching which dandruff will
cause. Newbro's Herpicide effectively
cures dandruff, as it destroys the germ
that causes it. The same germ causes
hair to fall out, and later badness; in
killing it, Herpicide stops falling hair
and prevents badness. 1t is also an
ideal hair dressing, for it lends an aris-
tocratic charm to the hair that is quite
distinctive. Sold by leading druggists.
