NJ. A. Bogoger and family were out
driving Friday evening and drove to
Port Edwards. While there they
thought they would drive up to see
what progress they were making on
the new store building and before they
reached there they ran into a hog
wire fence which workmen had strung
across the street TO protect a cement
croSswalk that had just been laid that
day. 1t was in the dark and no lant-
ern had been left to indicate the con-
dition. His horse got his feet
fastened in the wire and they had
considerable trouble to release the
horse from his condition until help
came Luckily no damage was done
except to the horses feet and legs
where they were cut and scratched by
his shoes and the wire. 1t was close
call.

QUESTIONS MACBETEs SANITY.
DR.. Griggs Discusses Reasons for
Many Murders in Play.

why should critics continually probe
into Hamlets sanity and apparently over
look the insane tendencies shown by Mac
beth?" asked Edward Howard Griggs in
his lecture on Macbeth at the Church Of
Our Father last night
The lecturer gave a deep analysis Of the
play and its characters, showing that
Macbeth, q leader of armies, was a man
Of coarse nature and with british man
ners- He was subservient 20 the ex-
quisitely sensitive Lady Macbeth, who.
by stronger character and force OF will,
made him do her bidding" said the lee
turer.
DR.. Griggs termed the play "a tragedy
Of guilt and said Macbeth offers the
best opportunity to distinguish Shakes
peares ethical interest from that Of
Dante.
The intense hunger OF Lady Macbeth
for power rather than her desire TO make
her husband supreme was blamed by the
speaker for the many unnecessary mur-
ders committed by Macbeth.
''Macbeth's vision Of lfe," said the lee
turer. was Macbeth's life. The drama is
worked out TO its logical conclusion, while
TO the average reader the denouement Is
unexpected. 1t ends as II must end-ln
the death of Macbeth"
Next Wednesday evening at S o'clock
DR.. Griggs will deliver the LAST OF the
present series of lectures on Shakespeare,
az the Church Of Our Father, Thirteenth
and l. streets northwest.
