A PRAYER.

T A little laughing fellow, With eyes of heavens blue; The sunshine in his locks of gold And in his child-heart, too. The way lies all before him The crowded road of life; Of mans estate and worlds applause And soul-compelling strife. And when his day is ended, And when his task is done, God grant he may look back upon Life's battles nobly won.

Shakespeare, as everyone knows, is
good if it is good And this seeming
ly paradoXical statement is one that
has more truth than poetry in it.
Shakespeare, played WELL can not be
surpassed by any of the modern dram
as written by authors lacking in
some respect or other the greatness of
the English master. But Shakespeare
poorly done has been the cause Of the
what some have been pleased to call
a dying interest in the production of
the works of the bard of Avon
Robert Mantell is without doubt
the greatest actor today essaying the
plays of Shakespeare. And he does
more than attempt them, he puts them
on in way which has brought him
the unreServed commentator of the
press wherever he has been on his
last long and triumphal tour through
out the states. He is supported by a
company that does him credit and his
scenic backing is perfect. Mantell, with
Mantelps company, make a theatrical
event that cannot be passed by.
Coming as he does in midsummer
Mantell will furnish a welcome break
in the tedium of the summers monot-
ony and large audience will no doubt
greet him when the curtain rises on
Tuesday, July 81 at SIS at the Keylor
Grand.

CHEERING FOR ROOSEVELT.

The statement that 20 be consistent,
the man who cheers for Roosevelt in
this campaign must vote for Bryan
comes pretty near to hitting the nail
on the head.
When an attempt is made to anaiyze
the popularity of the present occupant
of the White House, the result is Ia
BILE to prove somewhat confusing to
those who are not republicans FOR
revenue only.
1t is pretty hard TO fifind where
President Roosevelt made any friends
by his neglect of the tariff during the
first few years he was president Even
the president, himself came to a real
ization that he was out of tune with
the progressive spirit of the country,
and his last message declared in favor
of the reduction of the tariff on trust
controlled articles, and he didn't in
sist that congress should guarantee q
reasonable profit to the American
manufacturer either.
But President Roosevelt made friends
for himself and his party when he
attacked the trusts. When he declared
that wealthy malefactors' should be
punished; when he endeavored to re-
sist the influence of the predatory
class" he touched a popular chord
and it is because the people believe
that he was sincere in his endeavors tc
curb swollen fortunes, to prevent gov
eminent by 1.-The interests that he i;
regarded as the most popular presi-
dent who ever occupied the White
House.

position to the presidents policies ant

right and in greater need of operation.
He found a large perforation high in

performed on the left ear. To TINS
no objection was made. The patient
had not complained Of any deafness IN
this ear or known of any trouble In
it. The operation was successfully
performed. but after it the hearing Oh
the left ear was seriously impaired
and the patient brought an action for
assault and battery against the sur
geon. The court held that the opera
ton was a violation of the rights OF
the patient unless the surgeon could
show that the patient had explicitly or
implicitly consented to an operation
on the left ear. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff.
In another case a woman the sub
ject of epilepsy consented to some
minor operation on the pelvic organs
which took place in hospital She left
the hospital saying that the would
consent to no further operation. she
was induced to return, and major
operation was performed. There was
some evidence that the anesthetic for
the operation was administered to the
patient when she was asleep. The sur
gecn testified that her husband had
given his consent to the second opera
ton. The court held that whether such
consent was obtained or not was unim-
portant because the wife's consent was
necessary. A verdict was given for the
plaintiff with exemplary damages
$4,000. On appeal the verdict was up
held and the court regarded the oper-
alton as a mutilation which the sur
geon had no right whatever to per-
form.
This case is the precedent in the
American courts that the consent Of a
husband is no legal substitute for the
consent of his wife when she is the
subject of operation.
