Wonders q ! Japanese Hamlet.

Perhaps the most astonishing presen-
tation Of Hamlet ever seen on any
stage was a japanese version given by
native actors at Kobe. The Kobe Her
aid describes II as "A wonderful mix
ture OF the beautiful aud the gro.
tesque. With an Ophelia sometimes In
graceful kImono and sometimes In
western evening costume and a king
who at one time appears In the pic
turesque costume OF Japanese noble
man and at others d0ns a silk hat and
q swallowtail coat, the effect is so
Kaleidoscope that spectator has the
sensation of being perpetually trans
ferred from one phase Of civilization
to another. The climax Is reached In
Hamlet himself, who IN the earlier
scenes wears the uniform Of student
Of the Imperial university. in the third
act makes his appearance on a bicycle,
clad In a bright blue cycling suit and
striped stockings. and at the finish is
seen in conventional evening dresv
with a flower in his buttonhole."

Bulgin Given $4,000 Home.

After a successful revival service
in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the past
four weeks, Evangelist E. j. Bulgin
and his singer, George L. Rose, left
for California, where they will con-
duct another service. After the
California service the evangelist
will return to Shawnee, Okla, where
he will conduct a revival. Bulgin
has converted nearly 1000 people
in Tulsa and has started three young
men in the ministerial school.
Bulgin says he will make his
home in Guthrie, Okla, where the
people of that city have presented
him with a $4,000 residence. The
large tabernacle used for the Bulgin
meetings is the largest ever erected
in the state of Oklahoma for this
or any other purpose and will be
torn down Immediately to make
room for a business block to be
erected shortly.

Some boys who had been out nut
ting and remained later than they
intended took short cut for home
by passing through the cemetery.
In climbing over the fence the bag
containing the nuts united and the
contents fell to the ground. AS the
nuts had been gathered in partner
ship the boys thought this was as
good as any time to divide them
and they began picking them up and
chanting out loud as they did so,
Zone for you, one for me and one
for YOU" A darkey who was pas
sing heard the conversation and hur-
ried to tell the preacher that the
Lord and the Devil were dividing
up people in the cemetery and some
thing better be done about it, The
darkey and the minister went to
the spot where the lone for me and
one for you" was still in progress.
Just then it closed and the terrified
listeners heard voice say That's
all now lets go for the ones outside

until they rang the fire bell.

AeropIanist an Iowa Boy.

Carl S. Bates, inventor of an
aeroplane, was born and raised in
Clear Lake, Iowa, and the plans for
the wonderful airship he has in
vented were formulated in his work
shop there. He went to Chicago
short time ago to construct his
aeroplant
After years of untiring effort and
sorts of odds, he has given the
scientific world a new aeroplant.
His rst try out at Daytona, Fla,
few days ago showed that the Iowa
lad has conceived a principle which
will place his name along with those
of the Wright brothers and other
inventors in this line of endeavor
He has sailed about over the city
of Daytona and across the Halifax
river, and has sent his machine TO
Latonia, where he will make num-
Der of flights before entering the
airship races at Daytona.
Mr.. Bates has shown that with
small engine making more revolu-
lions and driving a smaller propeller
his aeroplane develops mare speed
with more stability than the ma
chimes of his brother inventors. He
has worked necessarily since a boy
on the problem of aerial navigation
and the present machine was con-
structed complete by him in his
Chicago shop. He is being watched
with interest by experts throughout
the country and is credited by them
with getting the greatest efficiency
out of the smallest engine ever used
on an aeroplane.
