English comedian: once on time

play Of You Never can Tell | wrote
TO Shaw and asked his permission. He
answered that he would come and
read It to me. He did and began by
saying that sometimes he thought ii
was the best play that ever WAS writ
ten and at others he considered 1t the
greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of
opinion that it WAS q pretty poor play
and that If | produced It we'll must
take the consequences Some time
afterward asked Shaw If | could
compress the last act He declined to
allow one line to be altered or cut out.
In view of certain contingencies | had

BRoWNING'S "SORDELLO."
The Critics Had lots of Fun With tho
Famous Poem.

When Robert Browning was TWEEN
ty-eight years old and after he had
written 'Paracelsus" and his tragedy
OF STRAIT he wrote 'Sordello,"
about which there has always been
such variety Of opinion. Dante in
his "Purgatory" wrote of Sardello,
who was poet of Provence.
when 'Sordcllo" appeared it made

to death were offered full pardon If
they would listen TO the reading of

AS the largest rock can be broken
by the constant dripping of water upon
it, so the body of man becomes a wreck
by the daily grind of a life having only
one idea. The man who is interested in
different things lives longer than he who
is able to grasp and enjoy only one In
other words the broad minded man has
the advantage over the fellow who is on
ly able to look through one key hole.

Rev. Bonds BaeesIaureate Sermon


Per favor of Democrat.
Teachers and pupils of the Mineral
Point schools gathered in the p NJ,
church on Sunday evening to listen to
the baccalaureate sermon by the pastor
Rev. w J. c. Bond The large church
was filled to overlooking, and was APP
propriately decorated with flowers.
Mr.. Bond opening thought was the
opportunities of the young, He said
il is related Of Charles Darwin, that
when one of his students called on him
in search of further light in relation to
some scientific question the great man
would place his hand upon the students
shoulders and say II ann SO glad that
YOU are young" He knew that the
history of greatness, whet' in heroes
or in scientific achievements was, and
would remain to be closely associated
with youth.
The preacher said that one can not
speak to a company of those who are in
life's morning without congratulating
them ON the possession of hopes and
possibilities which are forever gone
from those Of multiplied years Youth
is the period of new born ambition,
enthusiastic purpose and earnest en-
deavor Age is the season of life for
enjoying the results Of the successes of
the earlier years.
Into the most eventful and promising
period of our national life are to go the
twenty two young ladies and gentlemen
Of the class of nineteen nine, and surely
the conditions around us and the posi-
bilities arising before our mental vision
would lead us to say with Darwin 1--WE
are glad that you are so young"
Mr. Bond continued The aim Of all
culture is to strengthen personality by
the development of inherent powers.

development of the self respecting and
responsible personality An education

Another Sex Determination.

There is some complaint from the
women because the soda-fountain keep
ers do not set up free lunch. A glass
of soda costs as much as a glass of
beer, and the beer-drinker gets an an
petizing free lunch thrown in. This
discrimination in favor of the men is
very annoying to the women, and they
talk of boycotting every fountain in
town unless they are treated differently.
