Shakespeare In 1898.

What, we wonder. would happen TO
the London manager nowadays who
should dare to put on the stage such
version of Shakespearian tragedy
as was played in Ireland a hundred
years ago? Mrs. Earle in her book.
Memoirs and Memories" gives a
Dublin play bill in 1898. which is
worth quoting.
The play was the tragedy OF Ham.
let originally written and composed
by the celebrated Dan Hayes of Linn
erick and inserted In Shakespeare's
works" The title role is taken by
gentleman who between the acts
will perform several solos on the
patent bagpipe, which performs two
tunes at the same time"

WHEN LINCOLN WAS NOAil'
MATED

When w. H. Steward went into
the Chicago convention in 1860
with l73 delegates. he had nearly
twice as many delegates as any
other candidate. Only 233 were
necessary for choice. But he
convention wanted winner. The
delegates were shown that Sc
ward could not carry either Penn
sylvania or Indiana, with the re-
suit that Lincoln was nominated.
Conditions are very similar this
year. Taft's delegates outnumber
those OF Roosevelt's. but that is

weakness among the rank and file
OF the party-the ones whose votes
will decide the contest makes his
nomination very uncertain. The
people are for Roosevelt. Where
ever an honest expression of the
people has been secured Roosevelt
has won. His services as presi-
dent has inspired great confidence
In the minds OF the average Ameri-
can citizen and during these per-
iods of political disturbance the
masses are turning to him as their
leader. They have made him their
candidate. There is no question
but that he win be elected i'll
nominated.
When the delegates get to Chill
cago they are going to hear this|
talk on all sides. They have no del
sire TO commit political suicide.
And II is quite likely that history
will repeat itself Abraham Lin

that he could win and seward could
not.
The espousal OF Rooseyelts caus
by Senator Borah and the swing
ing OF Ada county into the Roose-
welt column presages a victory for
Roosevelt in this state, Canyon
county Republicans will be given an
on May to register
their choice at the primary election
and Rooseyelts friends should see
that the delegation from this '
county TO the state convention is
for him.

to be The specialized sundews (Dro.
seras) are but the advance guard OF
a large army Of species which depend
for their existence more or less upon
absorption Of animal salts through
their foliage. There Is no gainsaying
the statement, recently put forward by
more than one scientist, that the ten.
dency to rely upon carnivorous diet
Is on the increase. OF course, this 10
only in a line with the simplest evo.
lutionary principle. 1t is possible to
trace the steps by which the highest
types of species. which seize and hold
their prey. such as the Venus fly trap
(Dionaea) have been evolved from
those which merely capture their vic.
Tins by the use Of an adhesive fluid,
such az the fly catcher Of Portugal
(Drosophyllum). Still lower in the
scale are the plants, such a. the
teasles (Dipsacus) which drown the in.
sects in strange bucket.like contriv.
ances located at the base Of the
leaves. Flies which may chance to
fall into the water are OF course
drowned and the plant absorbs the nj.
trogenous elements from their decay
ing bodies.
1t Is a startling conception advanced
by some scientists that in ages to
come these plants may become so ad-

a real menace to animal creation.
Dreadful indeed must be the sundews
and the Dionaeas to their insect VIC
tins at the present time. The unfor-
tunate fly which is captured by the

to resist its violent struggles. The
