WHY HIS SECOND BEST BEDr7
Writer Feels Called On to Criticize
Shakespeare for Provision Made
In His Will.

We are indebted TO an English pub
lication for copy OF the last will and
testament OF the late William Shake
speare. In the course OF this docu-
ment. we observe the following SEN
tence:
Il gyve onto my wief my second best
bed with the furaiture."
We have no desire to find fault with
the successful poet and dramatist OF
Stratford for this apparent discrimins-
tion against the Widow Shakespeare.
What disposition he made of his first
best bed is matter that is not re-
vealed by the copy Of the will OF the
versatile author whose last testament
Is reported In the columns OF our alert
London contemporary. However. we
don't think Mr.. s. showed Just the
right spirit in gyveing onto his wief his
second best bed. o. why did he not
give onto her his first bed. or his tee
potte or his punche bole with the gilt
butterhyes. or his favorytte wixge. or
his safefie razure. or fountain penne. or
5icycle-anythlng. In fact. but his sec
