Didn't ANNOY Him.

A gentleman took a country friend
to the opera one night to hear the
"Meistersinger" performed. He was
very anxious to see the effect of Wag-
ner's glorious music on the country
side, and watched him keenly during
the rendering of the overture, which.
grand as it is, is a little noisy, more
especially when the bang of the drums
and the crash of the cymbals occur at
intervals.
But the countryman's face remained
absolutely unmoved. At last the Lon
doner could bear his friends indiffer
ence no longer.
Doesn't this glorious volume OF
sound affect your" he said.

SHAKESPEARE AND THE BIBLE
Abundant Proof That the Great Poet
Has Not Ignored God In His
Writings.

In contradiction to a statement
made by a French writer asserting
that Shakespeare had ignored God in
his plays, E. H. Sothern looked into
the subject, with the result that he
found that the deity is mentioned no
less than 700 times In the Shake
spearean dramas.
Even in Richard Ill., he points
out, the supreme being is mentioned
81 times. Shakespeare makes rever-
ent use of the word Almighty six
times, while the word 'Redeemer' Is
twice used In Richard IL The Holy
Ghost is never mentioned. and the
word Savior only once.
"That Shakespeare was close Bible
