~HE day of shakespeare's birth
n cannot be exactly ascertained.
The inscription on his monu-
~ ment says he died on April card,
1918. in tho fifty-thlrd year of his
age. Tradition has fixed the same
Date as his birthday.
He was the son Of John and Mary
Arden Shakespeare. who lived on Hem
ley street in the little English town
Of Stratford-on-Avon. Their home
was poor one. and the room in which
the great poet was born was poorly
furnished. its walls were white-washed
and It's ceiling consisted of uncovered
rafters.
After "a time unprosperous times
came to tho Shakespeare family and
tho father tried various ways of maxi
Ing living. such rs dealing in corn
and timber. and finally opening a
butcher shop. William was the third
child. His early life was passed like
the village boys Of that age, and his
tory does not record an act which
would set him apart from other lads

his first original play and after that
he turned out plays rapidly.
