 It is credible that Shakspere, seeing
 this puffing fat man waddle into a
 tavern, might well have had the pie
 ture in his mind when he brought Falstaff to the Boar's Head and had him welcomed there by merry cro- nics.
 FaIstaff had been called 'the wine
 god of merry England.' He certainly resembles the Greek Silenus, the fat old man who always accompanied ! BacChus. And FalStaff, like Silenus, cared much more for quantity in his
 drinks than he did for quality The sack that he loved so much was a
 sweet wine, but he put more sugar in ] it. Sometimes he liked a toast added
 But he did not want anything in if that made it weaker. He would not

Resolution of Union Asks That Graphophone Recon
 sider Decision.

The following resolutions deploring the reported removal of the Grapho- phone factory from Bridgeport were passed at last nights meeting of the Bridgeport Typographical Union:
 Owing to the agitation which has taken 2 strong hold on our city and it's population consequent on the de- cIsion come to by the mana cement of the Columbia Graphophone Mig. Co. to remove from our city, Bridge port Typographical union wishes 70 do it's utmost to save Bridgeport from such calamity.
 During the many years the ColuIn- ba Graphophone Co. has been in our city. many of our citizens have found employment with the company. The welfare and comfort of many of our people have been dependent on this corporation. The prosperity of the city itself has been largely dependent upon the Graphophone Go. being jl | our midst and anything possible to be l done to retain this concern amongst 1 us should not be neglected at this | time.
 Bridgeport Typographical Union 1 therefore voices its sentiments towards | the Graphophone Co. in the follow l ing resolutions:
 1 Resolved, That the decision of the Columbia Graphophone Go. to remove from our city will bring untold hard 1 ship on a large number of our citizens. | It will be a loss to our city hard to l remedy at this time. The removal of the factory and its equipment to other fields will mean a great expense | and inconvenience to the officials of | tEe company itself; therefore be it | further
 Resolved, That Bridgeport Typo graphical union do urgently request the Columbia GraphophOne Go. to re- consider its decision of removal and | remain at their present location; and ! Whereas, The foregoing resolutions set forth the sentiments of our mem- bership and 1t is our wish to be- speak the most cordial relations that | have always prevailed with the Col umbia Graphophone Co. and our mem bers who have been employed by the company and to ask for an opportun- ity to continue such relations.

There was much less family life than today. Women attended the play, but they then went home if they belonged
 to good families. They did not expect
 to be taken with their husbands or fathers to the taverns.
 At these assemblages money or birth counted for less than a nimble wit. When Shakspere and Ben Jon son crossed swords in debate, the young noblemen kept silent. One of the needy and t-of-elbows drama i lists of the period who was a great frequenter Of taverns was Henry | Chettle, a hack-writer who was all
 ways ready to write a play at order ! or to cOllabOrate with a better known author who wanted someone else to do the hard work In a pamphlet of 1 the period Chettle is thus described: 1 Tn comes Chettle sweating and blow i ing, by reason of his fatness; to vel come whom, because he was of old l acquaintance, all rose up, and fell l presently on their knees, to drink a

ern life that he must have pictured scenes that he knew.
 We know from countless books of the period that the young aristocrats were much less exclusive than youth of the same relative station are today. They do not patronize hotels or clubs where they met only men and women of their own world. They wandered gayly through the most disreputable haunts of London and they made friends there among the lOwly born not mere frienIs of a night, but bril- liant dramatists and merry rogues with whom they were glad to frolic when they were sober.
 At the more famous taverns, at places like the NIitre, the Falcon, the Boar's Head, and especially at the Mermaid, the nightly gathering was a brilliant and democratic one. Aris- tOcrats of the bluest blood sat shoul- der to shoulder with play-writers and actors, poets and hangcrS-On, whose skill at repartee made them welcome.
