Seconi Homestead Entries.

A Washington dispatch says that
although both senate and house have
passed during the present session
bills giving former homesteaders the
right to make second entry under
certain conditions, the prospects TO,
such legislation before adjournment
are daily diminishing. Every few
years congress passes such bill, t.
give another chance to hOmesteader
who have lost their former entries on
one account or another. This CON
gress has seen about dozen such
bills introduced, each varying a little
in phraseologv or scope. The senate
has passed a bill by Senator Smoot
granting this privilege, and the house
has passed one by Representatl\ e
Taylor of Colorado.
The house bill, however. contains
provisos unsatisfactory to the senate
and the committee has not seen fit to
report it. The senate bill stands
very little chance of enactment in the
house, Us it is not believed it can be
passed by unanimous consent and it
is not expected the public lands COM
mittee will be reached in regular
order during the session.

The naval forces of the empire are
prepared for any contingency. The

This would have been done in 12so. but for a popular outbreak against this people. The Jew was already growing in power. His possessions were coming to exceed that of others What would hs become, if all restraint was lifted. and he could enter with dnobstrueted right into the field of eompetition7 An alarm ing cry was raised throughout the land,
 The Jew is becoming master of the realm, He must be checked instead Of forward, and if possible, the country must be rid of him." Thus went the sentiment against the people called Jews.
 In the absence of fact rahrication was used against him. The Jew was accused Of ridieuling the religion of the Genties,

There is too little attention given by the average reader, to say nothing of the Bacon ians and others, to this simple fact. Very interesting touches, very much worth while. are given in a current magazine article. by James Shelley Hamilton, throwing into sharp con trast the high-school conception of Shakespeare as a high brow and the Shakespeare of fact
 MT. Hamilton says most truly that we get driven away from the enjoyment of Shakespeare by study of Shakespeare We take him as a textbook in English, and we drop him when school is out and text books have grown boresome. MT. Ham, ilton commends the work of the Strat- ford Players because they succeed in giving us a jolly good all round show, ' and he insists that to treat Shakespeare as other than maker of popular shows is to do him violence.
 I have already drawn the attention of Age-Herald readers to the self evil dent fact that Shakespeare lived in a world of imagination and set geography, history and even mythology at naught. What did he care whether Milan was at the seashore or on mountain top? This makes the profound researches of Ger man students somewhat too laborious

But the greatness of the greatest minds is that which Shake speare achieved, the ability to put the highest poetic message into the language of the common people, so that for 35o years English people have been patiently seeking to know what is so plainly writ ten, but missing much of 1t because of the very toil and care which had better be expended on your Brownings and your Carlyles. Why delve so deep when the truth is so very accessible?
 I look with suspicion on the immense volume of superhuman. forethought and the profound philosophy disclosed in Shakespeare by pr. Griggs and the Ger mans. No man can be so very superhu- man, No man can be superhuman all the time. But it Shakespeare had been able to sit down and construct a play bearing half the load of wisdom which Dr. Griggs discovers. for instance, in Lear or The Tempest he would have been superhu- man so frequently that his very skull must have given way. Inspiration can not be so philosophical "'rhe poets eye with a fine frenzy rolling" cannot keep It's fire while it follows, for instance, the line of the reflections of Martin Farquahar Tupper.
 But the trouble with these lofty reaches of wisdom is that they grow dreadfully tiresome, and end by crawling where once

 Sid Sidney Lee, great Shakespear- can scholar, is convinced that errors in Italian geography could not have been made by the poet had he been per sonally over the ground. In The Two Gentlemen of Verona" Valentine travels from Verona to Milan by sea (Act I. scene D. In "The Tempest" Prospero "embarks on a ship at the gates of Milan" (Act l. scene 9. but Milan Is away in the interior, Tn Lombardy, and Verona is far from the nearest water.

 We do we'll to be reminded that the best way to learn Shakespeare Is not by read ing him, but by seeing his plays played. The poet was subordinsted to the play wright, as Paul observes the creature was made subject to vanity" And the only hope set before us Is that by watch ing the plays in all their vanity we may laugh without first puckering our brows as we would over Mir.

 Shakespeare's supreme victory and miraculous achievement it Is that while he harnessed poetry to the car of drama he did not let the team run away nor kick itself loose from the chariot, nor so overload the car that the team had poetry still sings and flies, even while if draws the play along. But yet the poetry exists for the play. not the play for the poetry. as We crudely make our selves and our children think.

Hamilton observes, the poet puts Anglo-Saxons down in Rome or in Arden in Ariers Island and he never concerns himself though all the established facts of antiquity are set on end and anachronisms abound on ev- cry page His hearers were not finished scholars, and his writings were to be enjoyed by the million, not studied by the elect With a care-free laugh he turned the edge of Ben Jonsons oriti- cism and every other mans. Did the peo- pie enjoy the play? That was enough And he went on, squandering the match less wealth of his poetry a flower squanders it's fragrance, never asking whether people would pay him for it. never thinking about it except as shs medium, his language the only way in which he could get the children of his drama to talk, think, act and to be un- derstood.
 Is it not just this freedom that secures to the world Shakespeare or a Dante or Paul or an Isaiah? The soul attains courage to speak its own language, to think aloud. Not that all men can say something worth while on those terms of courageous freedom but that without such freedom you cannot get your poet or your creative dramatist For years and years Carlyle struggled to secure a medium of expression, style. a language to match his message.

 in this age of the drivelling nonsense served up in nickel photoplays and in proh- lem plays, and in vulgar exhibitions of lost women, that the human soul is timeless and inexhaustible when she walks in the light Of sincerity. By the million we are sending our children to watch impos- sibe deeds portrayed by pretended pho

William tolerated their presence n the realm, not because they were an inoffensive and peaceable people, but because they were valuable as an asset Co the kingdom financially. The Conuueror was avari- cious, both in a personal and national sense, for while he would maintain a court of splendor and d full treasury for the sake of the nation, he was not averse to the enhancement Of nis own fortune. nor was he very sccrupulous of the method or means by which this was con- srmmated.
 In order to safeguard the Jews, he segregated them into quarters in the chief towns of England which separate quarters were called "Jewries." In these assigned quarters the Jews opened their shops and displayed their goods. which was done so attractiveiy that the multi trdes thronged on them, trading was brisk, Gentle stores were ignored by the public. and the separated Jews became the most prosperous element of the English population. But their success be- came an object of envy, and they came to be hated because they were successful in the field of competition

 For almost four centuries. from Edward to Cromwell not Jew set foot on Eng fish soil. In the height of the Protectors career a few Jews olandestineiy sought him out. and pleaded that their people might return. Bold and brave as Crom- we'll was on the field, ne lacked the courage of facing a popular sentiment, and 1t Is not to his credit that he secretly whispered to these applicants that they might steathily slip back into England and test popular sentiment They went Others went. They continued to go The laws against their residence in the realm were still on the statute books. but had been forgotten fin the silence of the centuries. The Jew prospered again. Af- ter a few years, one became sheriff of London. Later, another became lord mayor. They found their way into Par liament, They became conspicuous in letters in commerce. in politics. D'Israel became 8 powerful premier. the Jews came to hold the purse strings over the high court of the realm. So much for the irony of history, so much for the fruits of persecution.
