HEE hundred years ago William
shakspere died at the age Of 81
Il year. having written more poetry
that had to be expurgated with pair
OF fire-tongs than any other man Of
his age There has not been so much
demand for Shakspere's works since
they were expurgated, but they can be
read in a select company 70 better ad-
vantage. without causing a deep purple
blush to break out on the forehead Of
the reader ever and anon.
Shakspere was a short, high wasted
man with a thick head Of hair which
ne wore on all occasions His parents
were poor people and kept no books
in the house except a iver-piu al
mansc and a mail-order catalogue, and
&c was from such humble sources as
these that William secured the plots
and language for some Of his best
plays. When we look at Shakspere
and see how little education he had and
yet what noble use he made Of il, par
ticularly in the sonnet line, and then
compare him with the average college
graduate. we realize how much money
is being wasted on higher education in
this country.

The Danish Islands

When the United States senate in 1867 failed to
rafy the treaty negotiated by secretary Seward Of the
department Of state for the purchase of the Danish
West Indies the members Of the body showed lack
of foresight The islands, three in number St CrOiX
St Thomas and St. John have area Of only 13e
SQUARE miles and the population is small and dwindng
But these Danish possessions, lying east OF Porto Rico
ard on a great ship route to the Panama canal have
much strategic value With Porto Rico they command
an important gateway to the caribbean. The port Of
St. Thomas has a fine harbor.
Another effort made by the United States IN 1902
TO acquire the Danish West Indies, John Hay being
then secretary of state, failed because Of the Danish
pariaments rejection Of the agreement, under which
title be transferred Now however, the islands
are bad way dthe planters and other Inhabitants
are eager under the American flag. As sugar
growing is their chief occupation it may be assumed
they will prosper under American rule.
In view Of the greater appreciation today Of the
importance of these islands the United States it is
to be suppose dthat the senate will place obstacles
in the way Of their acquisition in the diplomatic
officers of the government able to lay before that
body another agreement with the Danish government
for their purchase fair TRIMS Copenhagen dispatches
however deny that the sale is under consideration
