4 GOOD TIME TO READ ABOUT
HIM

This week is the tercentenary of
Shakespeare's birth and death, and it
is a good time to form a new acquain-
lance with him by reading one or two
of his plays. The library has added
several new books you may be inter
ested in, among which are Carson
Introduction to the study of Shakes
peare.
Raleigh-William Shakespeare.
Dowden-Mind and Art of Shakes
peare.
Lee-Life and Work of Shakespeare.
Nelson and Thorndike-Facts About
Shakespeare.
The Current number of Theatre
magazine is a Shakespeare number
and has several splendid articles by
William Winter, Forbes Robertson,
Brander Matthews, Percy MacKaye,
Otis Skinner, Charles Ram Kennedy,
Robert Mantell and many other prom
ipent actors and critics besides the
numerous good illustrations. 1t is
we'll worth the time spent in looking it
over.

Wet Weather and CameIs.

Camels are very sensitive to mois-
ture. In the region Of tropical rains
they are usually absent, and IL they
come into such with caravans the re-
suits of the rainy season are greatly
feared. The great humidity of the air
explains the absence Of the camel from
the northern slopes of the Atlas and
from well wooded Abyssinia. This
sensitiveness expresses itself in the
character Of different races. The fin
est, most noble looking camels, with
short silklike hair, are found in the
interior Of deserts, as in the Tuareg
region in north Africa, and they can
not be used for Journeys to moist re-
gions. Even in Fezzan, south of Trip
oil, the animals are shorter and fatter,
with long coarse hair, and in Nile
lands and on coasts 1t is the same.
These animals, too, are less serviceable
as regards speed and endurance.

Double Action Waterfall.

There are a good many salt water
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile and
British Columbia, where narrow fiords,
or arms Of the sea, are INSTRUCTED by
barriers of rock. The rising tide flows
over the filters through such reefs into
the great natural reservoirs beyond,
but the water is held back at the ebb
until it breaks over the obstruction in
an irresistible torrent. Most curious
of all is the waterfall at Canoe pas
sage, where the island of Vancouver
approaches the British Columbia main
land. Here the floodtide from the gulf
of Georgia to the southwark is held
back at a narrow cleft between two
islands until it pours over in a boiling
cascade eighteen feet high with per-
haps double the volume of the Rhine
At the turn of the tide, however, the
waters from the north rush back into
the gulf, producing a cascade of equal
height and volume. The waterfall ac-
tually flows both ways.-Balimore Sun.

Cyrus Yawkey hall was the scene of
a delightful gathering yesterday af-
ternoon, when the Ladies Literary
club held its annual birthday party
in celebration of Founders Day. The
company included seventy-fve men,
bers, many of them attired in the
fashions of the days of long ago, thus
marking the event as an old-fashioned
or colonial party. The pleasant room
was decorated with large punches of
red carnations, the club color and
flower, which were placed effectively
and formed pleasing center. A short
business meeting was held at 2:30 and
program was offered. The first num-
Der was Founders Day poem, EMIT
led, "Our Club Ancestors" cleverly
written by Mrs. G. G. Mcintosh and
sung as medley by Nesdames Ander-
son, Meadows, Ogden and Ingraham.
This was followed by paper by Mrs.

"Old Time Songs" She compared
the music of olden times with the
songs of today in most pleasing way
and her theme was replete with hui
NOR, pathos and beautiful thoughts.
Mrs. G. +. Ogden then sang, 81 Can
not Sing the Old Songs" and as an
encore she sang "Comin' Thru the
Rye" They were delightful numbers.
Then followed a reading by Mrs.
Charles Feathers, entitled "Courtin
in Ye Olden Times" This was a hap
Ply innovation and was most amusing.
Her pleasing encore was when
Grandma Danced the Minuet, Long
Ago" The closing number was a
talk on Dress in Colonial Times" by
Mrs. j. P. Briggs. This was interest
ing, pleasing and instructive. Mrs.
Briggs described old time fashions in
an original way and illustrated her
theme with several pictures represent
ing old time costumes. 1t was fit
ting ending to the enjoyable program.
At six O'Clock the husbands, who
were invited for that hour, arrived
and the company was ushered into
the dining room where Colonial sup
per was served by the ladies of the
Universalist church. The tables which
were brightly decorated with red car
nations, red ribbons and lighted can
dies with red shades, presented a gay

ChicorY In France.

Chicory, so extensively raised in
France, is harvested either by hand or
by blowing. AS fast as the plants in
one line are pulled the roots are gather
ed In heaps after the removal of the
leaves and are roughly cleaned. They
are then transported to the factories,
where they are mechanically washed
in flowing water and dumped on a per-
forated conveyer that permits them to
drain while travelling toward the root
cutters. The roots, when cut in small
pieces, are conveyed to the malt kilns
or special driers, where they remain
thirty-six hours or more, and after
cooling they are ,bagged. The chicory,
having now become friable, passes into
a series of crushers. After each crush
ing the broken material is passed
through sifters that divide it into four
grades. From the crushers the chicory
goes to the roasting retorts and then
receives a final manipulation, that of
tinting, which consists in giving the
grains a coating of impalpable chicOry
dust The last operation is that of
packing the chicory, either by hand or
by NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

An English officer who had been,
through mistake, reported KILLED in
action" on his return from the front
went to his bank to cash one Of his
checks. The clerk at the counter, iD-
stead of asking the welcome question,
How will you take it," looked doubt
full and puzzled, stared at the soldier
and finally hurried away to seek ad-
vice elsewhere. He presently returned
with the news that the check could not
be cashed. But you know me, and
that is my signaturew exclaimed the
astonished officer. "M-yes," said the
clerk hesitatingly, 'but the fact is, ST.,
that yOu're-yOu're dead, you see, and
I'm told we shall require you to give
proof to the contrary before we can
pay the money"

Ex-Governor George W. Peck. Of
Milwaukee, died on Sunday afternoon
at 3 O'Clock, after an illness of six
months. He appeared to be imprOv-
ing and was taken to the Riverside
Sanitorium ten days previous to his
death. He suffered relapse on Sun
day and the end came suddenly.
There was no Wisconsin man better
known throughout the nation than
Geo. W. Peck. Besides being gov
ernor of Wisconsin for four years, he
was mayor of Milwaukee, and was a
humorist of note, and veteran of
the Civil war. In politics he was a
democrat.
Mr.. Peck was born in New York
state. He was a cousin of Mrs. +.
L. Joslin of this city, and her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Isaac Joslin and Mr.,
Peck's parents came west in 1843.
He attended the public schools and
was assisted in his education by his
uncle, Isaac Joslin, who was also a
writer of ability and no doubt helped
to shape his career. When DR.. and
Mrs. F. L. Joslin were united in
marriage, Gov. Peck "gave the bride
away"
The cause of his death was Brights
disease. He would have been 76
years of age on Sept. 26, 1916. Mr..
Peck's death has caused great sorrow
throughout Wisconsin, and the
nation.

appearance. Covers were laid for 100.
Preceding the program, letters were
read from two of the absent members:
Mrs. S. H. Alban, Rhinelander and
Mrs. G. w. larger both regretting
their inability to be present. Mrs. d..
L. Plumer was the only founder pres
emit. Mrs. j. A. Jones was detained
by illness and Mrs. w. S. Armstrong
was unable to attend. This was the
18th birthday anniversary Of the club
which was organized in April, 1871,
with membership of thirteen, and it
has been the custom each year at this
time to honor the founders who
formed the nucleus around which has
grown our successful Federated club.
This day is considered the most i'm
portant in the club year, and yester-
days celebration was most appropri-
ate and enjoyable.
At a short business meeting, held
before the program, the following OIL
GERS were elected to serve the coming
year:
President-Mrs. G. H. Ingraham.
LIST Vice-Pres.-Mrs. 6. P. Meyer:
I'd Vice-Pres. -Mrs. W. A. Evers.
Secretary-Mrs. Charles Dodge.
Cor. Sec.-Mrs. Roscoe Young.
Treas.-Mrs. H. H. SchOltield.
The following delegates were named
to represent the club at the biennial
of Federated clubs which is to be held
in New York from May % to June I'd:
Mrs. G. G. Mcintosh and Mrs. W. E.
Hudtloff. The alternates are Mrs. @.
H. Hooker and Miss Susan Under
wood. A letter was read from @. B.
Bird, president of the Wausau Club,
expressing thanks for check received
by his club from the Literary club.
Following the election of officers, Mrs.
A. w. Trevitt, the retiring president,
escorted the newly elected president
to the chair. Mrs. Ingraham in a
few words accepted her honors grace
fully, hoping for the cooperation of
the club and a successful year.
The retiring president was pre-
sented with handsome bouquet of
carnations, given by the club as a
slight token of appreciation for her
work during the year. Through the
kindness of Mrs. Mcintosh we are
enabled to present the Founders day
poem which follows:

The skull of the bull musk OK is re-
markable for the development of the
eye orbits, which project sufficiently
beyond the plane of the frontal bones
to compensate for the interruption the
horns would otherwise make in the
range of vision. The musk OK, how
ever, does not seem to rely greatly on
keenness Of sight, far less on acuteness
Of hearing, for the ears are of small
dimensions and are completely covered
by the heavy growth of fur about them.
The organs of scent are evidently more
highly developed, and they exact OF the
hunter his greatest cunning.

tasty luncheon Wednesday at the
Baptist church. The luncheon was
cooked and superintendent by Mrs. j.

The object of this hospitality was
to show what advantages the cleo

done on three of the ranges which
had been brought to the room and

was no smoke and no heat, and the

Mrs. Brokaw enlfvened the occa-

guests were convinced of the super
