gulls of large species as domestic
fowls. They capture the young while
they are nestlings. and rear them on
fish, combining them in pens Their
eggs are eaten, and. for lack of tur-
key or goose for Christmas. the fisher
man is satisfied with selection from
his coop of fattened gulls.

Jesse Dandys Have You Ever Been In Cincinnati? The fool in Shakespeare's company was William Sly, who seems to have learned his art from Richard Tarleton, actor and court jester to Queen Elizabeth. Tarleton, the greatest of all fools in English history, unfortunately died at the very beginning of Shake speares career as a playwright. Shake speare pays a magnificent tribute to him in Hamlet for Tarleton is the original of Yorick. Tarleton could wiring peals of laughter from Queen Elizabeth even in her angry moods, and Ben Jonson said Of him: The self-same words spoken by another would hardly move a man to smile, which, uttered by him, would force sad soul to laughter Sly seems to have been worthy successor and imitator of Tarleton. He was a great favorite with London audiences, and both Shakespeare and Jonson were careful to provide him with roles.
 "However, assaults on the great Bard of Avon by modernity both as to his wit and constructive qualities in play writing,' MT. Mantell said, "are harm less indoor sports compared with the ruthless handling of him by the dra- matsts of the restoration period. There was Otway, for example; he undertook
 
 Lear and, accordingly, got rid of the faithful fool-as, indeed. later, did Ed win Forrest makes moon-eyed lovers of Cordelia and Edgar, and converted the tra gedy into comedy by presenting the old King and his 1ovable daughter at the last curtain alive and merry. Tate also prepared version of King Lear and likewise 'Coriolanus,' modestly asserting that he wrought into perfection the rough and costly material left by Shake sreare. Davenant found Macbeth too tame, and proceeded to introduce the ghost of Duncan. He also gave Mac beth himself some new soliloquies to counteract Shakespeare's 'blunders' in slzetching the character of the Thane.
 "Garrick swore that he would not leave the stage until he had rescued the noble play of Hamlet from all the rubbish of the fifth act Accordingly he prepared a new fifth act, in which he eliminated the funeral of Ophelia and the grave-diggers, and rushed the play climax in the stabbing of the King by Hamlet. Shadwell took 'Timon of Ath ems and made it into a play as he mod estly declared, and carrying modesty tt a climax. asked forgiveness in an epi logue for his own part, for the sake of the part that was Shakespeare.' Cole, Gibher made a version of Richard III, which persists to this day so strongly that audiences accept it as Shakespeare and resent attempts to restore to thu stage the original.'

who have tried to rearrange and rewrite Shakespeare" Mir. Mantell said, and who carefully point out to us the diff ference between ourselves and the Eliza bethan audiences, and learnedly persuade us that we have lost their viewpoint; who give us elaborate explanations of the jokes, in an attempt to tickle our intel lectual ribs to the point of hilarity, may we not say that the humor of Don Quix- ote by a contemporary of Shakespeare is, as modern as George Ades, and we can laugh as heartily with Rabelais as with Mark Twain, so why not with the great Bard of Avon, whose wit is innnitable and whose humor is incomparable, al- though not always assigned to his fools?"

Your Big Bit" is in Buying. Every Dollar
 Should Be Enlisted
By w. H. J. TAYLOR. President of the Retail Credit Mems National Association

President of the Retail Credit Mems
 National Association
 The man who dons a uniform
 gives up everything to serve his country-his time, his business. per
 haps his very life.
 How about those who remain at
 home? Shall they be considered un-
 patriotic? I think not. I am sure
 that the spirit of every true Amer
 ican Is alive to the needs of the minute--that each has determined to do his share. We are doing 1t.
 We are cutting out waste, buying liberty bonds, helping the Red Cross,
 paying taxes, subscribing to dozens
 of war charities. Many patriotic
 employers are paying their men who
 have enlisted the same salaries they
 have enjoyed before and have agreed
 to keep this up as long as the war
 lasts. The country has responded.
 and responded nobly, to every call.
 What more, you ask. can we do
 than this? There Is duty we each of us owe
 our country which in volume and significance outweighs even these. something bigger than bonds, taxes, charities or payrolls. for it is the backbone of them all. It is the duty of spending-of keeping the country prosperous. This is the motive power behind this vast machinery of war. the dynamo that drives our destiny. Spending power! Not the strength of huge sums of money secured for special service. but the plain, every day. man-to-man power made up of small units that in the aggregate have the strength to move or to stop the world.
 Stop spending and you stop the worlds power to produce. Keep money flowing and there Is no limit to the resources at our command.
 The dollar that you or I earn comes from someone else. and he got 1t only because somebody else was able to spend 1t. That dollar in turn was spent by someone--and SO on all along the line.
 And the best part of all this spending power is the fact that 1t Is cumulative-that the more 1t goes | on, tho stronger 1t grows. So let us resolve to do our share to help one another. Let us all spend wisely, with the wisdom of knowing that in doing so we will be l truly thrifty. prosperous and in the end triumphant
