WHAT SHAKESPEARE WORKED FOR

From a Lecture, What to Expect of
 Shakespeare" by J. J. Jusserand, Be-
 fore the British Academy.
 The only shackles Shakespeare was loaded with were the needs and tastes of his public. They were heavy enough, but hey were the only ones. . The absence of others is so complete and so unique that this characteristic is among the most singular offered to our wonder by his works. Barring this single exception, no poet cast on the wide world a freer and clearer gaze. He wrote unhampered by traditions, rules. religious systems. He gave himself the pleasure of showing once that he knew dramatic rules exist ed but he felt them alone because they were "caviare to the general and he depended on "the general."e They were probably, besides, not so very sweet to him either. The final result is that, strange as 1t may seem, he stands much nearer Aristotle than many of Aristotle s learned followers. The great philosopher cid nothing but sum up the teachings of good sense and adapt them to Greek manners. The great poet did nothing but follow the same teachings, as given him by his own sound nature, and adapt them to English wants. As both were men of genius and both were excellent observers, the one taught and the other acted in similar fashion.

MEANS TO ATTAIN HAPPY LIFE

By the Earl of Surrey. Martial, the things that do attain
 The happy life be these, I find The riches left, not got with pain;
 The fruitful ground, the quiet mind. The equal friend; no grade, no strife;
 No charge of rule, nor governance; Without disease, the healthful life;
 The household of continuance. The mean diet, no delicate fare;+
 True wisdom joined with simpleness; The night discharged of all care.
 Where wine the wit may not oppress. The faithful wife, without debate;
 Such sleep as may beguile the night; Contented with thine own estate,
 Nor wish for death, nor fear hts nigh

DEPARTMENT STORES


 There are several stores which employ from 4O0O persons at slow time up to 5000 during the Christmas holidays, and have rayrolls averaging $10OO0 day, or $3,OOO,- coo a year. There is one store which at Christmas, 1910 had a population in two cities of 14700. That would indicate payroll of more than s9O,OO0 a day for that period, or at the rate of more than st, 100000 a year.
 What is the value of the stock that the pretty salesgirls and their diplomatic male colleagues defty persuade the pub lie to buy? From $5,0OOO0O to s7,O0O, ,OOO- the latter being the valuation about Christmas time. The stock contains any thing from a spool of cotton costing a penny to a piece of antique lace costing 5000 yard! from a 5 cent scarf pin 10 a S50,0OO necklace; from a fur piece costing $1 to a sable wrap worth $15,OOO The shabbily dressed mother can buy a tiny pair of shoes for a quarter of dol lar and the daughter of a millionaire can be fitted with the daintiest of foot wear that 100 times that amount will hardly pay for. Meats, vegetables. wines everything to eat and drink can be bought there Musical instruments, an- tique rugs, even airships are, if not on the shelves, on the floor Some stores have a real estate department.

Expert. From Colorado Coming

Experts From COIOra0O SOminS
 "As a result of the testing of the gold bearing ores of Georgia and Alabama by practical metallurgists in Colorado, a party of Colorado specialists will vis- it the gold fields of this state in De- cember ,'' said man who Is interested in overwhelming interest in this one time profitable field of mining in Ala bama.
 q quote from the expert who has had much experience with low grade and refractory ores. He says: I have had many samples of both oxodlzed and sulphide ores from Alabama treated here in Colorado during the past few months by leading metallurgists; some of these men are now working re. fractory low grade ores at profit at Cripple Creek; ores that average only s3 per ton, and these ores are much harder to treat and more expensive than Alabama ores The tests made with Alabama ores show conclusively that they can be milled to secura 95 per cent on the sulphides, at cost of s1 per ton, in 100 ton mill. This means millions of dollars for Alabama and you would be surprised to know the interest the results of these tests have aroused here in Colorado among the largest mining and milling men in the state. Early in December I shall come to Alabama accompanied by Prof. A. J. Haskins, for many years head of the Colorado School of Mines, a noted geologist, who is now consulting en- gineer for several large mining enter prises, and MT. w. R. Dodge, an eX- pert on the cyanide process. 8These gentlemen are coming with para, phernalia to make thorough tests OH the Alabama ores, and to report to in terested parties of capitalists, includ- ing large mine owners in Colorado"

IN DARKEST NEW YORK

good natured and not very critica If 10 why there is often so wide a differ ence Of opinion between the best dra.. 'natic critics and the ticket buyers as to ,he merits of a play. The phrase "blase Broadway" falls easily from the pen of the writer of news or criticism whose western horizon is the Hudson river As matter of fact, the least blase au- oiences are those assembled in New York theatres, representing every state in the Union and composed largely of persons enjoying holiday. The critical first nighter to whose nome town" there comes play that has had a long and successful run in New York is often dis appointed to find it meretricious instead tf meritorious. He wonders, not having read the criticisms, why New York is uncritical, forgetting that many of those who contributed to it's success were hol-. iday makers ripe for any venture or adventure and very little inclined to quarrel with dramatist or actor. The common complaint of actors and managers
 on the road' is the coldness of audi. ences. Here in Louisville, for example. hat complaint is frequently heard, not from the lips of really capable actors, or from those of purveyors whose attrac- ,ions are up to reasonable standard of merit, but those who do not pause to consider that there are few 'transients,' in an audience to an interior city, and that the house. is made up of persons who go to the theatre with sufficient regularity to have a critical point of view.
 New York is the most popular Ameri- can winter and summer resort, and does a iourishing business with the guest from beyond the Hudson in the autumn and the spring. But there are many New Workers who, failing to realize fiat metropolis is always a national insti- tuition, believe that it is local and self supporting.

Increase fin Liquor Production

Increase Tn LIuuOF PrO0ucuOn
 Tt Is seen from the annual report of United States International Revenue Commissioner Cabell that all records were broken in the past fiscal year in the production of alcoholic liquors, said a citizen. 'In the fiscal year end ing June 30 the production of distilled spirits amounted to 75,402,395 gallons nearly 7,OOo,000 gallons more than in the previous banner year, 1907. The production of beer, ale and other bev erages amounted to nearly 100000 bar rels more than in the previous high record year, 1910. Some statistics lie, but Uncle Sam's internal revenue fig ures. do not lie.
 As to accounting for this vast in crease, in view of the considerable pro- hibition territory in this country is a difficult matter. I am an anti-prohih- tionists on principle. I do not believe keeping with the genius of Amer ica. But r think it is quite cer tain that in prohibition states, where the laws have been at all enforced, there must be a diminution in the liquor traffic. Even in some cities in prohibi- tion states it is reasonable to suppose that the consumpton of liquor is cur tailed
 Tt may be that The increase in the liquor business in the country at large | is chiefly accounted for by the rapid increase in population and by the large addition of foreigners It may be, too. sz41 business in prohibition states there is more home drinking. I believe 1t was that way in Birmingham before we re- established the legalized liquor trade. Men who used beer and other drink ables at home kept small stocks before we had prohibition, for local dealers were ready to fill orders. But under prohibition heavy stocks were shipped in and t is easy to see that when a man has liquors galore stocked up at home the habit of over indulgence is | apt to be in evidence l have always held, and will always believe, that the best way to promote temperance is tc induce young men to pledge themselves to total abstinence from whisky and other very strong drinks. making ex- ception in favor of beer. The fact that the consumption of alcoholic liquor is increasing rapidly is simply appalling
