THE WAY PEOPLE I.Iyrn ~
SHAkESPEARE'S TIME

The people that lived In Shake
speares time lived quite differently
from the way We live now. They knew
nothing about chimneys and had none.
Ana on the floor. instead OF carpets
PUSHES were used. People had no
knives or forks then. but ate with
their fingers. When they were through
eating they would throw the bones
and scraps on the floor, and instead Of
sweeping they would put more rushes
on the floor. The people had no paved
streets and the streets that they had
were dirty, and pigs wallowed in the
mud. They had games like hide and :
seek. blind-man- bluff, football. nine
holes. handy-dandy and stoolball
When Shakespeare got older he wrote
! a bout these things. and did other
people. and that is why we know about
them.

starting at O'Clock this afternoon, and
Captain Cannon will select his team for
the Sunday game from among those who
show best Captain Cannon is taking no
chances and predicts that his force Of

even our little village can produce a
team worthy of their steel.
The game will start promptly at noon
and stumps will be drawn at o'clock.
