ers and a shower of hearty applause.
"The Nightingale" q soprano solo,
was next rendered by Miss Agnes Au.
relia Murphy, of L'Anse. Her selection
was well chosen and lent particular en-
joyment to the program. Miss Muir
phys recent training has placed her
among the most pleasing vocalists in
this section of the country.
To the average student the name OF
Shakespeare stands out as does but few
of the others and in the selection of
him and his works as topic we feel
that Miss Flora L. Loud could hardly
have made better choice. Following
is the essay in part:
Who in 1864 would have dreamed that
the little babe born in the vine-covered
cottage at Stratford-on-Avon in War
wickshire, England, would become the
greatest of English poets? Yet Will
lam Shakespeare, born and bred in the
midst of Englands' fairest rural scenery
acquired and perfected his deep love
for nature and the beautiful which fit
ted him to attain the highest rank
among English poets.
Of his parentage little is known, ex-
cept that his father John Shakespeare
was merchant, who in 1871 was chos-
en- mayor for Stratford-on-Avon and
his mother was the daughter Of Robert
Arden. From somewhat conflicting ev-
idence many are inclined to think that
the poets parents could neither read nor
write. In spite Of this II IL propable
that both had an education superior to
that Of the average citizen Of today,
for they learned the world by exercising
their powers Of observation and not
through the medium Of books. We are
sure that his sympathetic and observant
mother pointed out to him simple beau

ties of nature such as e daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares,
and take
The winds Of March with beauty; vio-
let's dim,
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's
eyes.
In fancy we see them hand in hand as
they ramble over the Stratford fields,
the mother oft STOPPING to pluck dewy
cowslip which she calls "a pearl in the
cowslip's ear" or .pausing to inhale the
fragrance Of the wild thyme. Accord
ingly in fancy we see young Shake
speare pause in his rambles, to list to
the music of the meadow lark or to rev.
ell in the beauty Of the morning sun. A
quarter of q century later he cites these
beauties Of nature in poetical strains
like this:
"Hark! Hark! the lark at heavens
gate sings,
And Phoebus gins arise,
His steeds to water at those sprinps
On chaliced flowers that lies:
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes.
1t Is not unlikely that Shakespeare
entered the Stratford Grammar school
at about the age Of seven and remained
there until he was fourteen. But in
those days grammar schools were de-
cidedly different from those of the
present day, for their courses consisted
principally Of various latin authors.
Esop's Fables and Ovid's Metamor-
phoses may be mentioned among the
works which Shakespeare undoubtedly
read in Latin.
When yet mere boy, ct the youth
ful age Of eighteen, Shakespeare mar
ried Anne Hathaway, q woman nearly
eight years his senior. In the course
Of years three children came to bless
this union, and Shakespeare realizing

ROUND TRIP CHEAPER
THAN SINGLE FARE

Believing that 1900 will see an
unprecedented traffic in colonists
and homeseekers in the Northwest
the railroads have arranged on ac-
count of the Seattle exposition the
remarkably low rate of $62 for
round trip from Chicago and $50
from Missouri river common points,
according to William McMurray,
general passenger agent of the Har-
riman lines in Oregon, says the Pen
dleton paper. He believes that as a
result of this special low rate thous-
ands will find homes in Oregon dur
ing the coming summer season.
The special fair rate is lower
than the regular one-way rate, and
is the result of special effort of the
railroads in the Northwest to at
tract prospective investors into this
country. Coupled with 1t the roads
will allow six-months' return limit
on the tickets and stopovers where
ever desired in the towns of the
Northwest.
