Sha 4espeare's Poetic Tragedy
'Lucrece. "
ByJ. a. @.

The narrative in the poem is on.
Of the most pathetic tragedies, fol
which Shakespeare was so remark
ably gifted in portraying. In il
we find beautiful thoughts on chas-
tity and virtue which are not ex-
celled in any of his other writings,
and the world has never had any
more logical argument against
Lust.
In none of his writings has a
greater truth been verified than
that virtue has its own reward, and
lust it's own damnation. To some
who may be educated from a prud-
ish stand point, the poem may seem
coarse and too plainly suggestive
of vulgarity. But careful study
of the poem reveals in chaste and
beautiful language, a crime which
exists in the world today, as it did
in 1894 when the poem was writ
ten; nor is this crime confined to
any particular strata of society;
no circle is exempt, high or low,
rich or poor. Nor has the devel-
opment in the Christian ca graces
with its centuries of culture, be-
dimmed the truth, force and pathos
of this narrative.
No author ever furnished more
powerful incentive to virtue than
Shakespeare gave to Lucrece in
her plea to the lustful Tarquin; nor
has there ever been written more
keen-edged Arrangement for das-
tardly crime, than the poet gave to
this Lord of Rome. 1t stands to-
day and for all future to society in
the phrase of huff said"
There is wisdom CLEANED from
this poem which will suffice to the
virtue of all ages. Then why
should not this poem be read and
studied by all who have pure mind?
Can ignorance protect innocence?
Does knowledge debase where it is
essential to safety! Does ignor-
ance of the sexual laws and their
alluremen.s offer any weapon to
the innocent! If so let us 60 back
to the beginning, to the primitive,
and admit that knowledge is not
power, on the other hand if knowl-
edge is power. Let the young men
and women be given this armor for
protection and safety.
Time and scientific knowledge,
CLEANED from pure source, mot
absorbed from the cutters of frail-
ty) of the intricacies of the sexual
relation, will reward in future hap
piness the races of men and women
of the world. See that Ms source of
kno7vledge is pure at the fountain
head.
Armed with knowledge like this.

are some lines from the immortal
poem to. ponder and study and
learn their truth. Beauty itself

of men without an orator."
But s he that never cop'd with

OFFICERS Will
STUDY THE MAP
ApJUTANT GENERAL ISSUES Or
oERs FOR THE OFFICERS OF
THE N. D. NJ. G. TO GATHER TO
RECEIVE INSTRUCTION IN MAP
AND FIELD WORK.

Orders were received in Fargo this
morning by the infantry officers of the
North Dakota national guard, that
pursuant with section 1861 of the re-
vised statutes, there would be a gath
ering of the leaders at some central
place for the purpose of studying, map
reading and doing general field work.
The order was accompanied by a
blank asking the officers to suggest
some time in May or June that would
be the most convenient for them to
get away to do this work. The date
of the study time will be made most
convenient to the general welfare of
all the officers in the state and also,
1t will not conflict with the regular
camp at Devils Lake.
According to the orders, the adj
jutant general believes that the gath
ering should be held at some post so
that the officers would receive the
benefit of the presence of the regular
troops. With this in view the meet
ing will be held at Fort Lincoln at
Bismarck.
The local officers will gather some
time when they will send in their
blanks to the head office. The men
will receive pay for the time spent in
the tudy, which will take up about
six working days.

The picture show at the Bijou today
and for the first three days of this
week is particularly good. Heading the
list is the great film showing the In
ternational Motor Boat races held at
Huntington Bay, l.. l., last August, a
picture that is full of interest and
action.
Every detail of the exciting contest
between the little boats as they shoot
like torpedoes away from the line
when the starters gun is fired, through
the race and to the finish is shown
with perfect fidelity and the beholder
quickly gets into the spirit of the con-
test so real are the incidents.

children when a dispute arises as to
which shall have favorite one. The
parents discover them at this stage and
when told what is going on are filled
with remorse-a reconciliation follows.
