KNOWN TO ALL THE WORLD
Port Of EIsinore, In Denmark, Made
Famous Through the Genius Of
Immortal English Poet.

Elsinore is a little port city of Den.
mark, on an island which Juts north
ward to reach within three miles of
the coast Of Sweden. Elslnore is the
home Of busy shlpyards, Of thriving
summer colony; II has been immor-
talized in the songs Of Kipling as a
port hospitable to the Grant sailor /;
finally and especially II is the scene
where Shakespeare laid the tragedy
of Hamlet"
The overthonghtful and melancholy
figure Of Hamlet rather overshadows
the rest of Elsinore, to the casual Wis.,
itor at least. The summer colony
seems to succeed in forgetting his
pessImistic point Of view, but the
tourist Is led to the grave Of Hamlet,
he is shown the brook where Ophelia
flung herself to drown her sorrow, and
hidden to contemplate the platform
where the ghost Of the murdered king
took its after-dinner promenade.
Needless to say. all such associa-
lions are pure fakes. They seem to
arise wherever some great human
drama, real or fictitious, has been en-
acted. responding to a need Of human
ity for some concrete object to serve
as a center for its sentiments. The
grave of Hamlet has long been an as
set to Elslnore, but II rumor can be
credited it has not always occupied
the same site. According to this tale
the original "grave" was Inconvenience
ly located for display purposes, so the
people of Elslnore finally raised the
money to erect n fitting monument to
Shakespeare's prince in more Access
sible place. AS for the ghosts plat
form, the castle of which 1t forms a
part was not built until long after the
time when the tragedy was supposed
to have been enacted.

Az ead sa Football.
A Harvard man tells this one:


"The train had just run of the track
and plunged down deep embankment.
Engine, baggage-car, coaches and sleep
ers were piled In terrible confusion.
Smith, the famous halfback, lying at
the bottom Of the wreck, came partly
to his senses. Three passenger coaches
were piled on top Of him. A piece Of
pipe was coiled about his neck. The
rim of one Of the great driving wheels
Of the engine rested on his face. His
legs were pinned down by a heavy
beam. A pillow had been forced
against his mouth and nose. His arms
we're pressed against his sides, and he
tried In vain to move. But willing
hands were at work upon the wreck,
and at last Smith was dragged out.
Looking around In dazed sort of way
at his rescuers, he asked:
"'How many yards did we gain on
that down." boysT"-Everybody's

MAKING Homes.

In family life, in the real home, the
highest qualities of character may be
developed. There is n force in family
affection that makes and keeps the
heart tender to all. 1t banishes selfish
ness, jealousy malice. In happy
home life cruelty finds no place. Even
animals feel the benefit of the tender
heart. We need, and need greatly,
more good will to all with whom we
have to do. We need to know how to
make allowances for failures in others,
to make concessions to the wishes and
.Onveniences of others. The friendly
give and take of family life tends to
make one more fitted for living in the
.ommunity.-AIilw Journal.
