It is not a little astonishing to
learn that Shaksperean plays have
taken a firm hold on the Japanese.
There have been many enthusiastic
students of the plays In Japan, and a
number Of them have attempted
adaptations into their own language

anese stage. Quite singularly, I'll

Then came "Othello" and the "Mer-

THE BRIDES TRoUssEAu.

And now it is the brtde-elect's turn.
The public has been very lenient with
her, but will be so no more. The
dressmakers are at the bottom of 1t,
says the Boston Globe. They have
put the stamp of their disapproval on
all brides of plutocrats of the first
class who do not spend more than
1000 on trousseau. And trous-
seau is what? It's French. 1t means
bunch" 1t may be a bunch of
keys, Of asparagus, kit of workman's
tools, or a bunch of spinach. But to
dressmakers it means a bunch of
clothes-to wit, a brides wedding out
fit. The idea of bride of multi
millionaire spending only $1,000 on
bunch of garments, when her husband
would give up more than that for au-
tomobile tires in one month! The
seven tailors of Tooley street, Lon
don, got laughed at because they pre-
rialized parliament lin the name of
the people of England" That was a
joke. But it's no joke when you Of
fend the dressmakers Discretion bids
all brides obey their DEGREES. To Of
fend them is to bring down on your
head imprecations of sartorial wrath.
All other questions are cast into the
shade by the anathemas OF the
modistes. A bride who should chew
gum under the wedding bell might be
forgiven; but to get married in only
$1,000 worth of dry goods, that is too
much. It is unforgivable.

Road VIII Not Build Gam.

Madison.-The state relief COM
mittee's appeal to the Omaha road to
build a cofferdam at Black River
Falls to divert the river to the old
bed, has been fruitless, but the road
will transport all of the necessary
material for the dam to Black River
falls free Of expense and aid in other
ways. The company has already
built a pontoon bridge at it's own
expense and has contributed $1,000
in cash to the relief fund. 1t is now
proposed to appoint a state engineer
to superintend the construction of a
cofferdam and work will be started
soon. Labor will be hired from
among the food sufferers.

A very interesting experiment has
been undertaken by Australia and
New Zealand-an experiment which
is likely to attract attention from all
parts of the world, and which very
probably will be widely followed if it
turns out successful, as in all human
probability 1t will. All boys from
their twelfth year are required to be
enrolled for military drill and tnstruc-
ton. In New Zealand the enrolment
became compulsory last July. There
is to be no release except for physical
disability. Australia is not yet SO
drastic as New Zealand, but If moral
suasion fails to bring about COM
plete enrolment of Australian boys
resort will be had to more compul-
sorry expedients. There is growing
feeling in all Australasia that Great
Britain, If help were needed to repei
foreign invasion, could hardly be de-
pended upon, at least at the outset.
So Australasians are preparing to de-
fend themselves in the contingency OF
invasion.

ASK DISMISSAL OF PETITION
Wisconsin Telephone Company Puts
Physical Connection Question
Before Supreme Court.

La Crosse.-Maintaini that the
law passed at the last session of the
legislature, compelling physical con-
nection of telephone lines, is uncon-
stitutional and that the railroad COM
mission of Wisconsin has no right
to enforce the measure, the Wiscon-
sin Telephone company, this states
branch of the alleged Bell Telephone
trust, has petitioned the commission
for a dismissal of the petition OF
Frank Winter, La Crosse, for an or
der directing physical connection be-
tween the lines of the Wisconsin and
La Crosse Telephone companies.
AS grounds for it's assertion as to
the constitutionality of the law, the
company claims that it's enforcement
would interrupt and interfere with
Interstate commerce.
The motion for dismissal of the
petition is asserted to be the begin
ming of bitter fight to overthrow
the law passed by the progresslves
in the interests of thousands OF tele-
phone subscribers.
Proof of the claim that the fight
on the Wisconsin law has ceased to
be a state issue is the announcement
that besides being represented by it's
Wisconsin attorneys, eminent talent
from New York will appear at the
hearing held in Madison on Nov. 20.
