sHAKEsPEARE's LAW.
Citations to Show That He Was In the
Fashion of His Time.

Fashion of His Time.
No ordinary reader of Shakespeare's
works can fail to be struck by the
copious ard ever recurring legal
phraseology with which they are fill
ed. Not only are law terms frequent
ly employed with an almost profes-
sional correctness to give color and
intensity to his sentences, but whole
scenes are taken up with illusions
to or discussions on purely legal mat
ters, as in 1.-The Merchant Of Venice"
Henry "" and the grave scene Of
Hamlet" not to mention other plays.
So profound indeed Is the knowledge
displayed all through that no less an
authority than Lord Campbell has
told us that Ito Shakespeare's law,
lavishly as he propounds 1t, there can
neither be demurrer nor bill Of ex-
ceptions nor writ Of error" To this
marked feature Of the works more
than to any other one might perhaps
with justice attribute the very origin
of the whole Baconian theory. rhe
point Is naturally Of extreme import
ance in the eyes Of those whose only
knowledge of the literature Of the pc
riod Is confined to Shakespeare's
writings. But that Importance shrinks
rapidly to insignificance after a course
of reading through the general dra-
matte literature Of the time, In which,
as a matter Of fact, legal SMILES and
illusions are found to occur with
about the same frequency as In
Shakespeare's works. So strong In
deed is the legal coloring Of all stage
writing at the time that one Is forced
to believe that law talk must have
been more common among laymen In
those days and especially among lay
men Of a playgoing disposition than 1t
has ever been during any period since.
There are indications besides that
some critics were getting tired Of all
this legal jargon, Dekker, for in
stance. who writes:
There is another ordinary at which
your London usurer, your stale bach
elor and your thrifty. attorney do re-
sort-the price, three-pence; the
rooms as full Of company as Jail. II

matter."-Gulls Horn Book, 1909.

Automatic Telephone Exchange
According to the head Of Austria's
telegraphs, the automatic telephone
exchange system can be made to COM

that in New York it takes on the aver
age sixteen seconds from the time the
subscriber removes his telephone re-

is set; whereas in the automatic sys-

subscriber hangs up the receiver the
line is clear. Owing to this saving in
time larger number of messages can

inches in length in the back Of her
head, wrenched back, and probably
internal injuries, 40 the result Of being
thrown out of rig onto the hard
cement sidewalk near Richard Bros.

also to take fright, and together they
raced up First street. When past the
Richard Bros. store, the left wheel Of
the rig took the sidewalk and struck
the heavy wire which stays the
electric light post, throwing Mrs.
Larson out, she allghting on her back
with the above stated result. She was
taken into the Richard Bros store,
and later to physician s Office,
where her injuries were attended to.
She had come to town alone, so 1t was
necessary to hire livery to take her
back home.

into a team near Darling Sunday night
at about 8 o clock, killing the horses

Week. Record Not as
Good, 1908

The sorting works, which shut down
for one day, resumed operations To-Day
with the same crew of thirty men, and
it is expected that they will be kept
busy from now until the logs from
above are all turned over the falls.
Jud Freeman, who, with crew of
sixty men, commenced with the upper
drive from BIainerd with about IS, :
600, 600 feet of logs two weeks ago, is
expected to reach Little Falls In five
or six days. These will be sorted and
turned over the falls as rapidly as
possible, and Ed. Lavoie will then
start the last drive of the season,
containing from 60, 600, 600 to IS, 900, :
600 feet of logs from this city It is
expected to at least reach the Royalton
bridge before cold weather forces
operations to come to close
but 1t the Indian summer lasts any
extent, an endeavor will be made to
take this drive as far as st. Cloud.
Otis Webb has nearly reached the
Minneapolis booms with a drive of be.
tween 80, O0O. 600 and 40, 900, 600 feet
of logs.
This season of driving is not con.
sidered to be a very successful one, it
falling short approximately $50. 600, 000
feet Of logs. About 200. 600, 900 feet of
logs. including this last drive. will
have been turned over the falls here
this season. whereas eight years ago 9

smaller and smaller each year.

Chief War Eagle Proves.
to be q Snap for the
Local Wrestler

The big Indian wrestler, who dubs
himself Chief War Eagle, was bested
by LOUIS LaFond, the home wrestler,
in two straight falls, at the Germania
opera house Monday evening. 1he
matcn was pulled off before large
crowd who expected at best that La
Fond would put up a good match
against his heavier. taller and much
touted adversary, and were very much
surprised when he carried off the
Iaurels by SO handily plnning the red
skin 8 shoulders to the mat. The
match was good one from the start,
and the participants showed them
selves willing to mix 1t from the first.
After twelve and half minutes
graphing and shifting around, the
Indian got. hold on the young
Frenchman when they were off the
mat. The referee called them back
and they went at it again. A short
rest was allowed them. Lat'ond q
quickness and better wind gave him q
great advantage over his apponent.
and seven and half minutes Of work
after the rest was all the time taken
by this versatile Frenchy to.9et the
first fall, with half Nelson and
crotch hold. The second tall was
obtained almost at the start of the
game. The big Chief War Eagle was
bound to make quick work of his
adversary. He fioored LaFond ia
"a dive at him. but the latter quickly
turned about and, before the red skin
could get his balance, secured half
Nelson hold and pinned him to the
mat for second time, winning the
match. #
Chief War Eagle claims that he was
not in trim, and has announced that he
would be pleased to try conclusions
again with LaFond.
Without taking away any Of The
glory from LaFond, we believe that
his opponent is big faker. The

stayed with Frank Gotch twenty
minutes, and surely could not be

to be due her as the result of her hus-

the above amount with this lodge at
the time of his death. j. w. Cross
field, clerk of the local lodge of M. w.
A., states that Roberts had been very
backward in paying his dues and
assessments, and that after notifying
him at four different times in as
many months, to which no attention
was paid, he was forced to suspend
him according to the rules of the
order, which he did IN September 1908
He says that two months later he
received money from Mrs. Roberts
covering arrearages and asking that
ne be relnstated, and stating that he
was IN good health, whereupon he
accepted the money. Mr.. Crossfield
says that the accidental death of Nj.
Roberts was reported just two days
after the receipt Of the money, which
accident the NJ. w. A. claim took
place while Roberts was still
suspended.
The st. Cloud Journal Press has the
following IN regard to the case:
Stewart e Brewer, the attorneys,

his death he let his insurance lapse
but was finally relnstated. After he
had been reinstated short time his
death occurred and the insurance
company allege that he was not in

taken into the order. On this ground
they refuse to pay the policy.
The plaintiff, however, alleges that
her husband was IN perfect health at
the time of being reinstated and
claims to have ample proof to the
effect. The deceased had carried in.

eight years and his death occurred on
October II, 1908. The proceedings
