sophomore year he carried to the inter state college Oratorical contest an ora ton on Iago With this he brought the prize to his college. Most winning orations of this amateur kind die at the close of their public declamation, but La Foilette's ''Iago" found publishers
 eager to put it between covers. For years it had constant sale in the book stores of the west It advertised the college for which it was written and
 brought a modest and welcome royalty to it's author It fell into the hands of Edwin Booth, and its clear analysis of character is said to have prompted the distinguished tragedian to modify his delineatiOn of the part. John Me
 Cullough came to Madison to see the author of this interesting interpreta
 ton of character. To him the young Huguenot confided his histrionic am
 bitions. Mccullough looked upon the boy, who was short of stature and pos sessed less than one hundred and twen-
 ty pounds of bone and flesh. McCul- lough's great frame lowered above him. Placing a firm hand upon the fral youth he said with a strong, deep voice: Don't do it, my boy; don't do it; the actor must fill the eye as well as the mind. Suppose you were play
 ing Iago and I Othello, and took you
 by the throat The audience would rise and cry out to me: 'Shame-shame don't hurt the little fellow"
 Deeply disappointed over this advice. I.aFoIIette neverthless abandOnded his dream of curtain calls and turned his thoughts to courts and law. Soon aft CT McCullough's' visit, however, Law renee Barrett came to see the boy who wrote Iago. He was enthusiastic in l his speech, declaring the thesis to be
 most penetrating analysis. Anyone who can interpret as you can he said. i "can act Give your life to the drama ''
 La Toilette repeated McCullough's ad- vice. Nonsense" said Barrett. that is the limitation of the purely physical actor Booth is only half an inch taller than you. It is the brain,
 and not the body, that makes the act
 or" But La Toilette had then made
 his resolve and kept to it." If you will
 not act" urged Barrett, you must in
 terpret for actors. l want you to write i for me an interpretation of Hamlet
 such as you have made of Iago; take a | year to do it." To this La Toilette agreed. But La Toilette is not care less student. At the end of the year
 he wrote Barrett that the task was toe | great. He must have five years.
 "Take the five years. but do it" was
 Barrett's reply. La Toilette was gov ernor of Wisconsin before he felt that he had fulfilled the commission which | Mir Barrett had assigned him, and
 Barrett was then dead. Twenty years | of consistent study had gone to his Hamlet thesis, The Greatest Tragedy | of the World"-CoIlier's Weekly.

THE MAGIC OF PLEASE"

One of the telephone companies Tn St. Louis has issued orders that it's operators in responding to calls shall say. Number. please?" instead Of merely saving. Number" The action was taken on the ground that the op- erator's courtesy would insure polite ness on the part of patrons and pre- vent many of the exasperating con versations indulged in over the tele- phone. The rule has worked like magic. The irascible man who will vent his spite on any luckless indlvldu- al, the petuIant woman who thinks she adds to her importance by fussing with everybody, the pert young girl and the fresh" young man who thinks that because a girl works for her bread and butter she may be made the sub feet of impudence-all these are abashed by the polite please ap- pended to the usual question, and there has been a decided improvement in manners all along the line
 The example of the great business corporation should set many persons thinking It is imply a proof of the claim that the world is a sort of echo valley III WHICH we le'Sl'V SiiS 'oii' N our own words. If We smile, the world smiles back at us; if we frown, we get frowns in return. By observing the polite courtesies of life, we receive courtecies from others. Particularly in our homes should we pay attention to politeness. Please" is a little word, but if it can improve the manners of hundreds of people of varying temper aments all along a city telephone sys- tenn if can make the wheels of the family machine run smoothly.

announcing that President Taft has de-
cided 10 step aside as a presidential cam
didate in 1912 TO make way for Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt brought many in
quiries to the summer capital today. II

which is reported TO be without any
foundation whatever, with a statement.
1t can be stated that there has been
no change in President Taft's attitude
toward a second term since he told q
number of friends n few months ago that
he would accept second nomination IL
his party desired II.
The president. II is said, Is not con-
siderirg his chances for second term
one way or the other at this time. From
the first nc has said that he would de-
as possible the pledges of the platform
on which he was elected. Mr.. Taft, it
is pointed out. does not know how TO
play politics, and he has been quoted
as saying that he would do SO IL he
could.
The fact that he has often, in his
speeches, referred TO the fact that he
has only the rest of his present term to
serve. means, II Is stated here, that Mr..
Taft does not feel that he nominated
political bid for the nomination.
The president starts for New Haven

will be away from Beverly two weeks,

cat the beginning Of June last there
was disturbance of the peace at Val

state militia, that force quickly attained
the desired object and with such thor
oughness that neither wandering bands
nor isolated centers of disorders was
left.
"The ringleaders of the movement
as we'll ms other persons implicated
therein were courtmartialed and, being
found guilty, three Of them were SEN
fenced TO death and executed, accord
ing TO law

What Rat Can Do With It's Tail.

''The rat sight IS not particularly
good - says writer in Mcclure IS mag
azine, "but its smell is keen, and its
sense Of locality so perfect that it will
run through It's holes and galleries in
pitch darkness at full speed, The great
Cuvier used especially to admire the
rat g tail, which he said had more mus
cles than the human hand. Careful cx-
periments by Romancs, moreover, have
proved the truth of the ancient belief
that, by letting down its tail and lick
ing the end, the rat extracts Oil, milk,
wine, molasscs, and other fluids from
deep or narrow nccked resscls.

better the sagacity of the rat than the
way IN which it eats an egg. II bites
