IS. HamIIl Company Presents Testi-
moniaI to Lawrence culkin,
Whose Long Service is
Remembered.
HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS
Only Two Men Now In the Firm
We're With Il Fifty Years
Ago-Firm Organized
In 1852.

For fifty years, Lawrence Culkin
has been a salesman for the 8. Ham.
Ill Company. In recognition of his
long and faithful connection with that
company, testimonial was given
him yesterday by the firm, Major
David B. HamiH making the presenta.
ton. Mr.. Culkin has been with the 3.
Hamill company since 1865. The
firm was organized in 1852 by the
late Smith Hanfll.
Fifty years Is long service when It
has been given continuously to one
firm, and the heads Of the company
decided that 1t was only fitting ana
just that such faithful service should
be rewarded. Consequently the idea
of gift for Mr.. Culkin was planned.
1t was presented to him yesterday
morning.
III presenting the gift, Major Ham
Ill said:
"It Is proper and right that we
should pause for few minutes this
busy Saturday morning to meet an
occasion that does not often come to
a business community. The reasons
for this short pause in activities is
that this year commentaries the
fiftieth anniversary of the be
ginning of Lawrence Culkin's con
nection with this house. It was
founded by the late Smith Hamtll in
1852. Mr.. Culktn has been continual
ly in its service for half century.
1.-THE present management decided
that the event should not be passed
by without placing In Mr.. Culkin' s
hands some testimonial OF respect
for his faithful services. ONLY two
are now in the house who were with
it fifty years ago.
Mr.. CulMn expressed his apprecia-
ton Of the Gift, and the sentiment
which it has awakened.

Mrs. John De Witt Writes Parody Of
Julius Caesar Which Club
Members Enjoy at
Banquet.
GREAT BARD OUTCOME
Modern Theme, Cloaked In Language
Of the Poets Time is
Scream for the
Members.

The Shakespeare club closed its thir-
teenth year on Friday evening with a
banquet at Hotel Iowa in celebration
OF the birthday anniversary of Shakes
peare. The banquet was held in the
main dining room of the hotel, and q
lstx course dinner served. The club
was seated at one long table with
covers laid fo- twenty-eight. Mrs John
Dewitt, the president OF the club, sat
at the head Of the table and at her
place was very handsome bouquet of
flowers. John Sprowls, the vice pres
ident, sat at the other end of the
table. The table decorations were
great bouquets of red and yellow
tulips and the candles In silver can
die sticks were shaded In yellow.
Mrs. Ernest Farnsworth Bisbee of st.
Louis. Mrs. Harry Reiner OF Roches-
tier. N. Y. and Miss Ida G. Town
send of Des Moines, were guests of the
club. The following officers were
eiected at the close of the dinner:
| President-Mr. John Sprowls.
| Vice president-Mrs. J. F. Elder.
Secretary-treasurer- Mr.. John r.
Irwin.
Many regrets were expressed that
MT. and Mrs. Dewitt are to leave this
city. since they have been very prom
inent in the activities of the club.
An Original BurIesque.
Following the dinner burlesque
on julius Caesar, which play has been
the basis Of study for the club year,
was given. The play presented Friday
night was written by Mrs. Dewitt,
and its title was Great Caesar!'
Mrs. Dewitt has rare genius for this
sort of thing; the language through
out was Shakespearean but the
thought and point of view modern.
/ Miss Martha Baldwin was stage
manager and the Incidental music was
played by Mrs. John r. Irwin. The
stage was set in the hall and the club
sat in the music room. The stage
setting was Roman or "near-Roman,'
Iiplacards were set up, announcing the
location of Caesars house, the capital,
and, so forth, as the scene shifted.
The prologue was written by Miss
Martha Baldwin and sung by her, the
club joining in the chorus.
The words OF the prologue were:
+" : GU may not love a suffragette
Who heeds not law nor etiquette.
Perhaps you think woman's face
Her home and hearth alone should
grace.
But when you hear this masterpiece
The very best since Bits decease,
You'll surely say. It's woman's sphere
To modernize Shakespeare.
Chorus:
10, 10, Bill Shakespeare
Bill Shakespeare, Bill Shakespeare
Lo. 10, Bill Shakespeare,
You've been re-writ
