OBITUARY


Stella May Tetrick was born in
Clay district. Harrison county, w.
Va. Aug. 6. 1876. was a daughter
Of Alfred and Manerva Tetrick; died
at her home in Shinnston, W. Va,
Dec. 2s, 1907. aged 81 years. mo.
and % days. She was married to
Andrew ]. Rice Dec. II. 1896. She
leaves a husband. one son, Everett,
aged years, and three sisters and
two brothers and her aged mother
TO mourn her loss.
She was a devoted Christian hav-
ing united with the Methodist Epls-
copal church when but 16 years OF
age. She was one OF those rare in
dividuals who carried sunshine
wherever she went. she was a
woman OF rare culture and refine
ment Her funeral was one Of the
largest held in Enterprise for some
years.
HOW greatly she viii be missed.
Good. beautiful in spirit, reliable:
She wore the honors and dignity OF
Christian with meekness. Per-
sonally there was in her a genuine
ness, a warm-hearted sincerity. a
delightful Christian fellowship not
often surpassed. Her faith was clear
and strong. In her death the church
has lost one OF its most highly appre-
ciated. spiritual members.
To get close to her was to be
blessed with the revelation OF a
character that was tender. beautiful
and rare. She was approachable,
sisterly. open-hearted. appreciative.
generous and kind. She believed
with an enormous faith. and was
not looking for better evidence than
her soul possessed.
She was a loving, tender mother,
and her son. SO his teacher tells me,
shows evidence OF the most careful
training. Her husband testified OF
her as the most devoted and loving
OF companions and her neighbors
learned to love her for her personal
worth.

SHAKESPEARE AND MACBETH.
A Great Tragedian Expresses an opin-
ion on a Much Discussed Question.

The first time ! read this tragedy, /
Tommaso Salvini In Putnam's MONTHLY.
expected to see the Sleep-walking scene
played by Macbeth. instead of his Wife.
This scene occurs at the beginning OF
the fifth act, and not until the gentle
woman and the doctor to-
geiher are we aware of the change in
Lady Macbeth's character, and OF the
illness that has made her weak. A
woman so brutal in her conception and
so resolute in her proiects-how could
she at once lose stcadfastness! She

impassiveness. | should have pre-
ferred not to see her. even in sleep.
wash her hands of the murder of Dun
can; her wicked personality would have
appeared still greater.
l do not believe that Shakespeare
meant the sleep-walking scene flor
Lady Macbeth. Have YOU not noticed
how precise the famous writer was in
drawing his characters? He always
tried to keep them in the same light,
from beginning to end. To my mine
it seems impossible tha1 Lady Macbeth
should collapse like this; instead, it
would be more natural in Macbeth. [
found this scene so unnatural that |
cut it out IN my version.
The explanation may be something
like this: In Shakespere's day there
We're 40 women players. Perhaps some
of the actors We're not satisfied With
the length of their respective parts.
Shakespeare. to keep the peace, may
have shortened Macbeth's speeches, and
given them to somebody else.
The tragedy of Macbeth is a sub
lime display of tragic passion. Il pa
tfletic picture of fate and evil con-
quering good. There is no moral; but
without doubt. this play may be re-
garded as the greatest work of dramas
