Garrick's Last Curtain


MY GRACIOUS friends, thank you one
AVA and all
For your applause that brings me here be-
fore you
To say few brief words in last farewell.
Tonight I am not Hamlet or Othello,
But only Garrick though, God knows,
Garrick is but mingling of them both
And half a dozen more. Hamlet, aye,
If it must be so-tonight, my Hamlet dies,
Not Shakespeare's Hamlet, Quin's or Bet
terton's,
Who died century ago, but Garrick's
Hamlet.
Others may tread this stage strutting about,
Baying the moon with beloved epithets,
And yet, if mistake not, they must bear
A certain cast of feature like mine own,
Being descended, legitimate in line.
From Garrick's Hamlet
We actors masked in paint
Become submerged in those whose lives we
Ye mock at US, who night by night assume
New parts--ye think me heartless though I
weep
When sweet Ophelia lieth in her tomb
Know, now, that when the philosophic Dane
Mourns for his love departed, am he:
Garrick no longer, but Hamlet torn with
grief,
And growing old with burden of dead tears.
An actor is a man of many souls,
Who lives more glorious moments of import
Than any saint or martial potentate
Now Antony epcircled by the arms
OF Egypt; Lear wandering in the storm
And now, Othello mourning for his BRIDE
Oh Desdemon, oh Desdemon, whose eyes
Still haunt me with their liquid loveliness-
Thine arms of alabaster veined with blue,
Thy lips-but for the moment I forgot
That / am Garrick, bidding you farewell,
An aged man who dwells upon old days.
You will forgotten ever men forget
The actor whom We knew not, save as him
Who nightly touched your hearts with many
woes, "na
And lived full many an hundred lives in
one
The player dies, yet why should he complain
That unremembered he must burn away
Like a spent candle? The wearied player
dies
Forgotten--but an untold guerdon lies
Within the fulness of his myriad lives,
| His consciousness of ever Towering art
| That men shall watch, and murmur:
"rhis is Truth"

Desk Notices

War consisteth not in battle only or the
act of fighting, but in tract of time wherein
the will to contend by battle is sufficiently
known. For as the nature of foul
weather lieth not in shower or two of
rain, but in an inclination thereto of many
days together, so the nature of war con-
sisteth not in actual fighting, but in the
known disposition thereto during all the time
there is no assurance to the contrary.

TRUST CASES
 TOBE ARGUED
 PRESENT TERM

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 (by Associ- ated Press) ).-Because of the an- nounced intention of the government to push prosecution of antitrust cases held in abeyance during the war, the present session of the supreme court is expected to prove one of the most important in the history of the court.
 Cases pending include those against the alleged anthracite coal trust, the United States Steel Corporation, the Eastman Kodak Company, the Asso- ciated Bill Posters and Distributors of the United States and Canada, the American Can Company the Quaker Oats Company, and also the' Southern Pacific merger case.
 The coal case will be the first to be heard, the steel case probably will be the second, and others will be argued at intervals. But under an agreement between the government and the Qua ker Oats Company that case will not be heard until January.
 General public interest attaches to another case before the court, that of the right of breweries to continue the manufacture of beer containing 2.75 per cent of alcohol. Appeals from lower court decrees at Baltimore and New Orleans already have been filed. |
 A case of importance to business interests is the Macomber stock divi- dend proceedings, which involve the constitutionality of the provisions of the 1916 income tax act taxing stock dividends as income.
 Although the supreme court at it's last term upheld the constitutiOnality | of the espionage act, large number Of appeals are still pending in cases growing out of convictions under that law. Among these is the case of 1 James Peterson, candidate for the Re | publican nomination in opposition to Senator Nelson of Minnesota in 1918, l and who was sentenced to four years because of newspaper articles which he wrote. The appeal of Victor Berger, representative-elect from Wisconsin, from conviction under inc law is also nending

HABITS OF NATIVES OF
 LOWER KUSKOKWIM

A recent visitor to the lower Kus- kokwim region describes the native population there as ssbeing of very diff ferent type from those that are found along the Yukon and Panama rivers. They are, he says, a short, stocky- built people, with flat or 'dished' faces" During the summer months they live mostly in the open, but ill the winter season they inhabit holes dug into the ground.
 For the most part they are found in large villagees, with a ruling clan. They are very socially inclined. Dur ing the winter evenings practically the entire village, including dogs, cOngre, gate in a public hall called iii the native tongue Iishim" where their local disputes are settled by the rul- ing clan. Here also they give enter tainments and tell stories to pass away the time.
 
 has his abode and works his miracles as though it were the eighteenth in- stead of the twentieth century. And the kishim, whatever appeal it may have for the native and his dog, is not a pleasant place to visit It has plenty of openings for ventilation, but of ven tilation there is none. With the place thoroughly warmed, the aperture in the roof is closed, the door is tightly shut and the big social event is on. Fish, good and bad, is distributed to everybody. Even the dogs get their portions. And after a couple of hours refreshing entertainment the atmO sphere is perfumed to a degree de- scribed by white men as "fifty-seven skunk power"
 The natives also have bath houses. These are very small kishim, equipped with heated stones to furnish steam. It is a common sight to see young 'bucks" dash out of the bath house clad only in their birthday clothes" speed across the village street and into their own igloos. Contrary to common belief, the natives bathe of ten, although they seldom or never Iaunder their clothes, thus losing part of the efficacy of the bathing. 1
