SHAKESPEARE
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Siwash"

About this date in April William
Shakespeare was born in fine old
timbered house in Stratford-on-
Avon, England This fact alone has
raised the value of the house a hun
dl'Cd fold, but its owner Of that time
did not discover it until it was ever
lastingly too late--for him.
Shakespeare was an ordinary boy
and was not thought much of in STRAIT
ford. because he wore his hair short
and wasted his time in learning 10
read and in poachinS and on Anne
Hathaway No crepe was huns on
the icy hall when he left Stratrord,
and went to London, and even att-r
he became famous and was allowed
to bow-to some ninth rate duchess.
1.-THE home people used to say What
Will Shakespeare famous. Nonsense
l remember when Sir Thomas had
him whipped for deer stalking
But Shakespeare persisted in
writing plays and as he was his own
manager, he got them all acted and
became rich retiring afterward to
Stratford and dying with much
pomp and ceremony, so that he was
buried in the village church itself,
instead of being put on the waiting
list among the pikers in the tombs
outside.
After he died, Shakespeare became
constantly more noted and people
began to say that it was a pity there
were not writers like Shakespeare in
those degenerate days. They hav
been saying so ever since. He has
now ben dead over 800 years, but
the best thing said of any play
wright is the fact that his stuff
sounds like Shakespeare. And usu-
ally he has to say it himself.
Shakespeare borrowed most OF his
plots from the italians, who were
great story tellers, If you weren't too
