A GREAT LECTURE.
Frederick Warde on Shakespeare
Julius Caesar.
(From the Maverick. }


On Friday evening Oct. 8. the PEG
pie OF Bryan had the privilege of hear
ing very instructive lecture ON the
Tragedy of Julius Caesar" by the
noted Shakespearean interpreter and
former actor Frederick Warde.
From the moment Mr.. Warde an
peared on the stage. until he bowed
himself off, he commanded such at.
tention as is rarely paid to any speak.
ar Those assembled, anticipating a
rare treat, waited in almost breathless
expectancy for his first words. These
were to the people of Bryan, recalling
his previous visit and assuring them
that he would never forget their hos
pitality. q
Mr. Warde experienced no difficulty
in repeating Shakespeare's exact
words throughout almost the entire
play. Some few scenes were omitted.
because of their minor bearing on the
NN'N " wv SNOiss Uut utdlll every
Incident in the play was discussed
during the two and half hours that
he spoke. 1t was quite astonishing
how he so completely covered the
whole tragedy in so short time.
Very fittingly did Mr.. Warde point
out the contrast between Christ aud
Brutus, when each was tempted.
Christ knew the price of sin. and
acted accordingly; but Brutus permit.
led the evil seed to be sown in his
heart Soon it was firmly rooted and
growing rapidly. Then it began TO
bring forth its fruit, first in the as
'assination of Caesar, closely followed
~ the suicide of Brutus himself.
The Senior class is unanimously |
grateful that the privilege of this lee
ure was extended to them.

On the first page of this paper
will be found the announcement
of Hon. J. r. Hales for the nomi-
nation to congress from the 9th
district. Mr.. Hales will be a
hard man to beat for the nomina-
ton and il nominated will make
one of the strongest candidates
on the ticket. Mr.. Hales is in
harmony with the national, state,
district and county organizations,
has many supporters outside of
the Republican party, and taking
all things into consideration is a
most logical candidate.

Too Much For General Butler,

After the battle of Chickamauga an
enthusiastic Confederate went about
the streets of New Orleans accosting
every man who wore the blue with,
Didn't Stonewall Jackson give you
blaZes at Chickamauga? General But
Ter called the exultant Confederate be-
fore him and told him he could either
take the oath of allegiance or go to
Ship island for two years. The Con
federate deliberated, but finally agreed
to take the oath. When he had sworn
to support the constitution. he turned
to General Butler and exclaimed,
Now we are both loyal citizens, amt
we, general"
"Well l trust So" said General But
Ter.
"Then," said the jubilant Confeder-
ate, Il want to ask you If Stonewall
Jackson didn't give us blazes at Chick
uga"-Argonaut.

a Curious Cipher Code.

Prisoners confined in different parts
of jail often use cipher codes in com
municating with one another In the
Kansas City Jail some years ago the
officials came across Il hard one. A
fellow named Turner, in for forgery,
Invented the puzzle The writing was
on long narrow strips of paper, on the
edge Of which We're letters and parts
OF letters that apparently had no con
nection and from which no words
could be formed. One day Il deputy
who was passing the cell Of Il prisoner
saw him passing Il long strip of paper
around an Octagon lead pencil. He
took the paper away, and on it were
the mysterious scrawls that had wor-
ried the keepers. But the deputy got
an idea from this, and, going back to
the office, he wrapped the strip around
an octagon shaped lead pencil and
after several trials adjusted it so that
the parts of the letters fitted together
and made IL sentence, though the writ
ing was very fine. The writer had
adopted the simple but ingenious plan
of covering the pencil with paper and
had then written along one of the fiat
sides. On unrolling 1t the writing was
as mystical as Il cryptogram, but when
put around the pencil as it was origi-
nally 1t could be easily understood.

CANI kRtt\
Eusza Are Made to Blow Out.

With everybody travelling more or
less, usually more, in electrically driv-
en- cars and trains, the time has GER
tainly come for general appreciation
of the fact that the blowing out of
fuses is nothing to excite alarm.
TO he Startled-to Jump" as the
saying is when this happens is the
privilege of all except the professional
electricians. The latter are bound by
professional pride to show perfect i'm
FEASIBILITY even when the sudden flash
singes their fingers, and it is delight
full to see how many of them have at
tanned to this command of their
nerves. To jump is one thing, however,
while to fall into a senseless panic is
quite another.
To blow out is the duty and destiny
of fuses, and when they have done it
such danger as there was is all over.
Nothing worse than delay can follow,
unless the passengers proceed to make
wild rushes for which there is no need
whatever Travellers should keep these
facts carefully in mind.-New York
Times.

The Man Who Told the TaIe.

1t happened ON Pullman car be-
tween New York and Chicago. Dinner
having been finished, the gentlemen
assembled in the smoking room to en-
Joy their cigars
During the time | was in the war"
said the quiet man, 81 saw a very
wonderful thing in the line of surgical
operations. A friend of mine was shot
through the right breast, the bullet
passing clear through him. The pres
ence of mind of his companion I'M
doubtedly saved his life. He wrapped
his handkerchief around the ramrod of
his gun and, pushing it through the
path made by the bullet, cleared the
wound of all poisonous lead. I know
it is hard to believe, but, gentlemen,
the man still lives to tell the tale"
(Which man?" inquired the slim pas
senger on the other seat quietly.
'The wounded one, of course" ex-
claimed the old soldier scornfully.

might be the other"

The Mania For Shoppina.

One phase of the feminine mania for
shopping is illustrated in John Foster
Fraser's america at Work" Speaking
of the c. o. d. method of shopping and
Of the way in which it appeals to the
woman with the slender purse, he
says:
IF she has no dollars, that does not
deprive her of the pleasure of shop
ping. She will walk into big store,
look over a dozen gowns and try on
several before deciding. Then she will
get c. o. d. card and, visiting other
departments, will buy hat, rich un-
derwear and Il parasol. She will give
a fine order. When the goods are de-
livered at the address she mentioned,
it is found there is no such person as
Mrs. Walker. True, she has put the
store to n lot of trouble. Yet think of
the morning of womanly delight she
has had in her shopping"

1t Was His Friend.

A little story in German and Eng
lish, accompanied by an interpreter,
drifted into the Indianapolis News Of
flee. Here it is: Two Germans stepped
into an auction house where a sale of
watches was going on. They occupied
front seats and soon attracted the at
tention of the auctiOneer. AS he dwelt
upon the merits of watch he was of
fering for sale to the highest bidder
the auctioncer turned to the Germans
from time to time as the price mount
ed-$6, $3.50, 81, $3.50. AS the auc-
tiOneer nodded at one of the Germans
there came an answering nod. which
he took to be a bid.
THAT feller knows me-" said one
German to the other
Eyes, sure" said the other.
The nodding kept on. Finally the
auctioneer extended the watch to the
nodders. Its yours" he said. Ten
dollars. You're the buyer"

Vyhy,

There is something almost plaintive
in the truly English word why" 1t
may be indefinitely prolonged upon the
lips. "Why" is almost poetical in it
self and fifty introduces the best hex
ameter III the language:
"Why do the heather rage and the
people imagine vain thingY
Its uses in poetry are almost infinite,
and one modern writer makes almost Il
line of it alone:
Why do the night winds sigh,
The sea birds wildly cry,
The summer clouds pass by,
The lilies droop and die,
The light fade from the sky?
Why-oh. why?
To most Of the why's there is not a
good because. The inquiring mind is
puzzled to account for many things
besides Its own existence. Hundreds
of such questions occur to us at every
step, and no satisfactory reply can be
expected. Life is too short. Socrates
was always saying why" and we
have all heard of the man who called
Pope the 'little crooked thing that
asked questions. Exchange.
