shakespeare's Definition Of Poetry.
What a pity it is that Shakespeare
ever used that phrase fine frenzy
1t has become a fuddlesome factor in
the framing Of foolish fancies. 1t is
to the honor Of Shakespeare, however.
that he came nearer TO giving the
world the true definition of poetry than
has any other man. for he did explain
what constitutes the true art of poe
try making, and from this we are en-
abled TO know what Shakespeare con
sidered poetry. Curiously enough. 1t
is in the very passage where Shake
speare uses that unfortunate phrase
"fine frenzy" Let US quote:
The poets eye. in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth. from
earth to heaven,
And as Imagination bodies forth
The forms Of things unknown the poets
pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy
nothing
A local habitation and name.

The social grosbecks of South Africa
live in large societies. They select a
tree of considerable size and literally
cover it with a grass roof. under which
their common dwelling is constructed.
The roof serves the double purpose of
keeping off the heat and the rain, and
400 or 500 pairs of birds are known to
have the same shelter. The nests in
this aerial dwelling are built in regu-
lar streets and closely resemble rows

LINCOLN'S WAR SUBSTITUTE.
Monument Planned For Pennsylvania
Who Served For Martyr President.

Who Served FOR Martyr PRESIDENT.
The soldier who fought through the
civil war as the personal substitute Of
Abraham Lincoln will have statue
erected in his honor if a bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the purpose, pre-
scented by Representative Palmer.
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, is passed.
The substitute was J. S. Staples of
Stroudsburg. Pa, and it is there that
it is proposed to erect the statue.
In the little burial grounds at
Stroudsburg small tablet today
marks the resting place of Staples,
bearing on it's face the inscriptions:
Here lies the body Of J. Summer
field Staples. representative recruit of
Abraham Lincoln"
In 1868, when the fortunes of the
Union cause were at their lowest ebb.
it was decided by President Lincoln
and his cabinet that they should send
personal substitutes to the front as an
example to the country. Lincoln di-
rected his adjutant general to choose
for him as substitute "as nearly a
perfect man. physically and morally"
as could be found. The adjutant gem
eral saw young Staples on the streets
Of Washington and explained to him
the presidents proposition. Staples,
then eighteen years Of age, accepted
instantly and was taken to the White
House to meet the president.
With Lincolns benediction, he en-
listed in the Second District Of Column
bia volunteers and served honorably
until the close of the war.

''Ye are, are ye?"
Pat went out and slammed the
door. The third morning Pat
came in and sat down to the break
fast table with the same suit of
clothes on, and greeted his wife,
who said:
And where are we going this
mornig, Pat?'
I'm going to coort.'

Horse Wrecks Store Window,

Clio, February, 22-Special:
Mrs. Drucilla Stubbs died at the
home of her son, Mr.. p. S. Stubbs
near this town, at 3 O'Clock yes
terday morning. Mrs. Stubbs
was perhaps the oldest person in
the county, being in the Goth year
of her age. She is survived by
three children-two sons and one
daughter. The daughter and one
son, Mr.. P. 5. Stubbs, beth re-
side near this town, while one
son, Mr.. James Stubbs, is a resi-
dent of Texas.
The fact that yesterday was
Monday morning and not many
people were in town was the only
thing that prevented the death of
some one in an unusual manner.
A horse belonging to Mr.. Otis
Moore, a liveryman of Benefits
vile, which was driven here this
morning by a drummer, became
frightened by something on the
street and dashed away with the
buggy attached to him. He made
straight for the front of the E.
Sternberger Company's large de-
partment store. When nearly in
front of the store, he ran against
a telegraph pole and broke loose
from the buggy, damaging it con-
siderably, and crazed with fright
he ran into the large plate glass
front on Main street, through a
plate glass door. six feet by three,
and with the door frame over his
body into the store and into large
glass showcase. With the door
frame still hanging over his neck
he dashed into the millinery show
cases and down the counters.
where he was stopped near a side
door. The horse was badly cut
by the heavy plate glass and will
probably die. The damage done
by the broken door and showcases
and the ribbons and other goods
ruined by the blood from the cuts
on the horse will amount to five
or six hundred dollars, while the
horse is worth three hundred dol
lars. 1t is indeed fortunate that
this accident happened when the
store was not crowded, as it usual
ly is, or there would have been
some loss of life beyond a doubt.
