ruff's talk Wednesday morning
on Shakespeare" Among 9th
er things, DR.. Woodruff said:
"There are two classes of liter.
ature-literature of fact and lit
erature of power and life. We
will take for instance the scien-
ces. In a very broad way, we
can say that literature includes
all the writings of mankind. In
the literature of law, history,
medicine, botany, and Latln, the
writer's aimed to set forth facts
and principles not having any par
ticular bearing on life or of beau
ty, happiness and pleasure; and
on the other hand, there comes
the literature of power. You
take the great writers that have
moved the thought OF the world
writer's like Shakespeare, Milton,
Chaucer, Burns, Cowper, and
Tennyson. Have these writer's
been talking about mere facts !?
No; they have not; they have been
talking about things, principles,
and.truths, as they are through.
out common humanity. 1t is the
literature of power-the litera.
ture of life-and that is the kind
of literature that always enables
it to last.
SIN 1874, Emerson wrote "Now
literature, phi losophy, an d
thought are Shakespearized, his
mind Is the horizon beyond
which, at present, we do not see. +"
Two years afterwards, Walter
Savage Landor wrote as follows;
"a RIB of Shakespeare would
have made a Milton, and a like
portion of Milton, all the other
poets. Shakespeare was a phe-
nomenon. We will endeavor
this morning to account for him
upon the usual basis, setting
aside Divlns intervention on the
part of humanity. We believe
that human nature becomes what
it Is by the three laws-euvlron
ment, heredity, and effort.
Shakespeare's father was John
Shakespeare, man who had a
very fine standing In his own com
munlty-a man who made money,

to a certain period; a man who be

Sample of His Originality.
General Wood, who was born on
Oct. 8, 1860, In Winchester, N. H,
attended In his boyhood a school In
Middleboro, Mass, and a Middleboro
man told some time ago the following
story of the direct and original mind
that the boy had:

against the hostile Indians in Arizona
and New Mexico. He voluntarily car
ried dispatches through a region In
tested with hostile Indians, making
journey of seventy miles In one night
and walking thirty miles the next
day. For his action In this campaign
he was awarded d medal Of honor in
1898. Wood was in that running fight
from start to finish and was commend
ed for courage. energy and loyal sup
port by General Lawton as 'the only
officer who had. been with him
through the whole campaign" At
one time during that expedition Wood
was temporarily in command OF all
the infantry, and ut another time he
exercised a similar command over
Lawton's scouts.
After serving at various army posts
from July. 1889. to September, 1895,
General Wood was ordered to Wash
ington for duty rs attending surgeon
to the army officers serving in Wash
ington. 1t was during this period that
he became acquainted with Colonel
