shakespeare's Wild Animals.

Shakespeare makes use Of no fewer
than twenty species of British wild
animals. OF these the badger, the otter
and the water rat are once each en-
ployed by name merely as terms of
abuse. The polecat and hedgehog are
also terms Of abuse, but are so far
described as to be called respective
ly "stinking' and ''thorny." The dor
mouse and ferret are each used once
as adjectives for sleepy" and fierce"
The shrew gives its name to a play,
but Is never mentioned as an animal.
The mole Is mentioned twice as being
blind" the wildcat once as sleeping
by day." the cony as struggling in the
net" and dwelling where she is kin
died" and the squirrel as ''the fairies
coachmaker" and as having already
boarded that years nut IN May day.
The rat and the mouse, being only
the M. domesticus, required no "ob-
servation" by the poet, so that the
above represents the total Of Shake
speare's natural history with regard to
all but six of his British quadrupeds.
The poets only original references
to the weasel are blunders. The bat Is
mentioned three times as an actual an
fmal-once wrongly. as migrant, like
the swallow, pursuing summer; once
fancifully, as the ''reremouse," out of
whose 'leathern" wings Titania's elves
made their coats, and once, finely, "ere
the hat hath flown his clOiStorad
flight" as fixing the hour of Duncan's
murder.
The fox Of course affords endless OPP
portunities for metaphor and smile,
and Shakespeare's description of it as
the fox of fable and tradition could
not be surpassed.-London Saturday
Review.

The History of the Cent.

The first American cent was struck
or and put in circulation in 1898. Pre-
vious to that date pattern pieces had
been made, but they were experiments
only and were never put in circulation.
The so called Washington cents, which
existed previous to the date abova CIV
en-, were not issued by the government
and were. therefore, only medals. The
cent Of 1893 was very similar to the
large copper cents of later date, with
the exception that the face Of Liberty
was turned to the right and the legend
zone Cent" was inclosed In a chain Of
thirteen links.

CoLORED BOY WANTS DAMAGES

Cleaning Plant Blown UP by
Explosion.

Otis B.. Mclaughlin, whose clothes clean
ing establishment at 2221 Cunning street was
wrecked by an explosion of gasoline Sep
TENDER 2S, is defendant In a 5000 damage
suit brought in district court by Howard
H.. Morrison, a young colored boy who
was injured in the explosion.
Morrison was working for Mclaughlin
and had just stepped out of the drying room
when the explosion occurred. He says ne
was burned about the back, legs and arms
and was pipned under debris while the
building around him was burning. The ter
ror he felt before he was released is one of
the grounds for his demand for damages,
He charges Mclaughlin was violating the
ordinances by keeping forty gallons OF gas
oline in the building without proper pre-
caution. and that the explosion was di-
rectly due to the fact that there was no
ventilation in the drying room. This he
says allowed the gas from the gasoline
soaked clothing to accumulate in the room.
Heat from the steam pipes he says caused
this gas to explode.

ALL BUT ONE STATE FOR TAFT
Frank Currie Gets Everything in
Line but Mississippi for
Republicans.

Everything now but Mississippi and 1t is
doubtful piped the irrepressible Frank
Currie, dean of the cattlemen of Nebraska,
as he blew into town Friday on the bosom
Of a tidal wave of republican enthusiasm.
People have stopped asking if Taft will
carry Nebraska, New York, or this state
and that %state,' he said, The only ques-
ton now is, How big will be his ma
jorities?'
Yes, he's got every state in the union
but Mississippi, and that is webbing. Texas
is a cinch; Georgia only needs to have its
vote counted and Nebraska will outstrip
'em ALL"
Colonel Currie is one of the men who saw
as far back as last July a certain Taft
victory in Nebraska and he hasn't been
able to see anything since, though he has
been working like the traditional Trojan,
just as If he feared Bryan might over
turn the SO, 900 Roosevelt majority.
