MARKET NEWS
NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Feb, 23.-The cotton market was quiet during the greater part of todays trading and ruled gen. erally lower under scattering liquida- ton in the absence of bull support. The close was barely steady at net decline of IA points ca February, and of from to II points on other posi- tions. Liverpool showed comparative ly little change over the local hoi- day and there appeared to he nothing in the general news to inspire much fresh business, with the result that trading here, while including little foreign selling, was chiefly for local aceount.
 The market opened steady at an advance of ? points to a decline of l point and active months sold about , to points. net lower during the first few minutes under liquidation by buy CTS of the earlier week and scatter ing pressure which appeared to be in spired by bearish cables from Liv- erpool to the effect that foreign spin ners had pretty well covered their requirements.
 After selling off to a net loss of about to 13 points there was anoth- CT rally following the publication of the big splnners' takings for the week, but a bulge of : or points was not maintained and the market closed within 2 or points from the lowest on most positions. Private wires from the South claimed that while spot demand was less active there was very little change in the attitude of holders and the South seemed to be doing little in the open market either way. Spinners talk ings for the week came very nearly being a high record and while the n- to-sight movement was heavy compar- ed with previous years, the net result of the week was a considerable loss in the worlds visible supply Of American.

Do You Know That.

In last weeks issue of the Republican
the Seniors advertised the fact that
they had played huge joke on them
selves? They said the Juniors tried to
force an entrance at Senior gathering;
whereas such an intention was the far
thest possible from the minds of the
poor. unwilling Juniors, who meant
merely to honor the Seniors with a
serenade-of lusty class yells, it is true,
nevertheless a serenade. The Juniors
feel that they did not overstep the
bounds of discretion in their iollity,
and sincerely hope that the honorable
Seniors will not again mistake jocular
serenaders for house breakers.
For some time past it has been notice
able that cloud has been dimming the

Shakespeare.

William Shakespeare, one of the most
widely known of English dramatists,
was born about the twenty third of
April fifteen hundred and sixty -four in
Standardization. His father in early
years was well to do man, but later
lost his fortune. The country around
Stratford- on Avon was beautiful, with
far stretching woods and magnificent
scenery for the young and active poet
to wonder through.
Shakespeare's schooling was very
lacking, probably all he had amounted
to about eight years in grammar
school at Stratford where he got, as
Ben Johnson, said, small Latin and
less Greek. However these years were
put to the very best use, as is shown in
his after life out in the world. He
could obtain much knowledge of nature
and out door life from the country in
which he lived while a boy and it is
probable he spent much time in study
ing nature; some critics have said he
must have studied science judging from
the way he uses itin his poetry. Others
say he studied much Latin and Greek
and also the geography of these countries
because of the wide and accurate ref
erences he makes to these subjects.
In fifteen seventy-eight Shakespeare
was taken from school on account of
his fathers finances. He stayed at
Stratford for short time, then went to
London to seek his fortune as many
young men then did, and he spent most
of his remaining years there. At first
it is tho't he studied a little Latin and
Greek, however not much. He soon
became interested in the theatres and
the revising of old plays. During his
first experiences with the theatre he
was engaged in holding horses and as a
boy to do the odd work. AT times he
was called on to take some part in a
play when one of the actors was absent.
Then he became more ambitious and
wanted to do things that were uplifting
to him in the dramatic world, and this
lead to the revising of old plays along
with Piele, Kid, and Greene, who were
then engaged in the work. Not long
after this the poet was writing dramas
OF his own, which aroused the people

Too Many Laws.

Maynard N. Clement, former exercise
commissioner of the state of New York.
IF, after more than half a century
of work and struggle against the evil
of intemperance, the average per capita
consumption of liquors has not only
continued but actually increased more
than five fold, or FIVE hundred per cent:
does it not indicate merit in the crit
cism that there has been too much con-
centration of effort to secure the enact
ment of laws to prohibit the liquor
traffic, to the exclusion of educational
and moral work with the individual,
which seems the only method by which
true temperance can be accomplished
In the light of the last sixty years ex.
perience in the United States, is it not
clear that successful temperance results
cannot be accomplished by collective
work and agitation aimed at society as
whole, but that the individual unit of
society must be reached and converted
to sobriety in the same way that the
individual is educated in the school and
in the church, in intelligent and moral
control of himself?
Mr.. Maynard says laws may prohibit
the selling and giving away of liquors,
but they will never prevent the act of
drinking. He asserts that the best
method of controlling what has long
been considered problem is to let the
people Of counties, towns or cities vote
at the polls on the question.

Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon has been called the
greatest man of his age after Shakes
peare. Bacon's father was Lord Keeper
of the Seal of England and all through
his early life Bacon was connected with
the Court. His parents must have
planned that he should be statesman
for they sent him to France to study
politics and statescraft. But while in
that country his father died and Bacon
was thrown upon his own resources.
He appealed to his uncle, Lord Burleigh,
who was very influential in the Court,
for aid, but he would have nothing to
do with his nephew. So Bacon studied
