the interest of mother and daugh ter

The Shakespeare Club.

Roll call was responded to by an
unusually large and enthusiastic
number at the last meeting OF the
Shakespeare club. Much interest has
been manifested from the beginning
in the ever fascinating study or
Hamlet The club has been particu
larly fortunate in having for its
teacher Mrs. Livingston, who mas
conducted the study on such high
and broad lines that every side OF
Hamlets character has been fully
discussed and while she held decid-
ed views OF her own, she has been
careful to see that full justice was
done the opinion of every member
So much did the club feel her value
as a teacher that it was most fitting
at the close of the study to give her
rising vote of thanks, which was
heartily done. Two papers We're
read, one by Mrs, Simpson, was
Hamlets Madness Real or Feigned.
and the other by Mrs. Leigh, The
Poetic Beauties of Hamlet. Mrs
simpson, in her clear. convincing
way; left no doubt in the most skepti
cal mind as to Hamlets sanity.
Mrs H. n. Peters never more
completely charmed her hearers
than on this occasion and her selec'
ton was a most happy one, being
the "closet scene from Hamlet.
Mrs Wilson, the critic, compliment
ed the lessons and special work In
a most pleasing manner to the class.
Mrs J Lee Penn and Mrs. Grafton.
wife OF our county superintendent OF
public instruction, were the appre-
ciated guests on this occasion.

The Jury Returns Unanimous Verde
BY SPECIAL Correspondent.

BY SPECIAL correspondent
Jury consisting of Soma Of the
most distinguished chemists OF
America has returned an unanimous
verdict of mot guilty" in the case OF
Knocker ct al, VS., Coca Cola. Vt
will be remembered that some time
ago a report was circulated that
Coca-Cola contained injurious ma
terials and was, therefore, harmful
in its effect upon the human BODY.
The rumor was originated by an
interruptions competitor of Coca
Cola, the popular temperance drink
spread rapidly and found some
credence among those who did not
know the origin of the report,
Tie Jury finds that not only does
Coco-Cola contain nothing harmlul
but that it is much superior to tea
and coffee in that it is free from
fannie acid and, therefore. promotes
digestion instead of retardlng IT,
Each of the distinguished chemists
reported that he had made careful
chemical analysis of Coca cola emo
found it to contain no doFo VI
any kind. If you would like TO see

We have been twenty-one years max

knight case was discouraging and

available power to attack and suppress
the evils of the trusts. Slowly, howev-

four years has the heavy hand of the
law been laid upon the great illegal
combinations that have exercised such
an absolute dominion over many of our

been brought, and number are pend
