The Only Ono Of Its Kind.

On an evening somewhere about the
end of the sixteenth century traveller
from Sweden might have been observ-
ed at the door of the Rose theater in
London. He was going to see a new
piece called ''Titus Andronicus," and
in order to follow it in the native Ian
guage he bought copy of the play,
price sixpence, at the theater door.
When he went home to Sweden he took
the book with him to show his wife
and friends what strange stuff the
foreigner ranted. For 300 years it was
preserved and in 1904, being discov-
cred in the home of a countrywoman,
was transferred for safety to the Lund
university. The book is the only one
OF its kind known to exist.
