6 SHAKEsPEARE's TOMB.
lts Would Be Decorators and the
Poets lmpreoation.

lts Would Be Decorators and the
Poets lmpreoation.
The fact that would be decorators OF
Shakespeare's tomb have not dared to
risk the falling Of the curse invoked in
the lines cut upon bis tomb is a strik-
ing testimony to the powerful effect
upon mankind Of such an imprecation.
J. o. HaIliwen-Philllpps. writing in
the eighties, said:
"The nearest approach to an excava-
ton in the grave Of Shakespeare was
made in the summer OF the year 1796
in digging a vault in the immediate To-
cality, when an opening appeared
which was presumed TO indicate the
commencement of the site Of the bard's
remains. The most scrupulous care,
however, was taken not TO disturb the
neighboring earth in the slightest de
gree, the clerk having been placed
there till the brickwork Of the adjoin-
ing vault was completed 10 prevent
any one making an examination. No
relics whatever were visible through
the small opening that thus presented
itself, and as the poet was buried in
the ground, not in a vault, the great
probability is that dust alone remains.
1t is not many years since a phalanx
Of trouble tombs, lanterns and spades
In hand, assembled in the chancel at
dead Of night, intent on disobeying the
solemn injunction that the bones OF
Shakespeare were not to be disturbed.
But the supplicatory lines prevailed.
There were some among the number
who at the last moment refused to in
cur the warning condemnation, and so
the design was happily abandoned"
A correspondent Of the London Athe-
naeum wrote in 1881: Il remember on
visit TO the grave Of Shakespeare in
1927 or 1898 remarking that it was lit
tie creditable to the authorities that
the raised covering TO the tomb should
have been allowed to fan into such de-
cay, for 1 could see into the grave
through the hole formed by the sinking
Of the stones. The reply W that 'on
account Of the anathema in ed upon
the tomb no workmen CO be per
suaded TO NEEDLE with it.
An earlier incident is thus set forth
by contributor to the Monthly Mag
azlne Of Feb /, 1918:
Notwithstanding the anathema pro-
nounced by the bard on any disturber
Of his bones, the church wardens were
so negligent few years ago as to
suffer the sexton in digging the ad-
joining grave of DR.. Davenport to
break a large cavity into the tomb of
Shakespeare. Mr.. 80 told the writer
that he was excited by curiosity to
push his head and shoulders through
the cavity. that he saw the remains of
the bard and that he could easily have
brought away his skull, but was de-
tered by the curse which the poet in
voked on any one who disturbed his
remains"
The attempt at later day to med
die with the tomb had no more effec-
tive ending.-New York Tribune.

Big Tips For Little Esxers.

"a passenger once tipped me extra

nothing made him madder than to slip
on his shoes in a hurry in a sleeper
