.SCRAWLED BY GREAT P0ET7
Signature of WiIrs&m Shakespeare, Be lieved Genuine, Found on Wall
 In Hampton Court

The discovery of the signature of William Shakespeare, scrawled years ago on the wall of the haunted gall lery" of Hampton court, has just been made in London. Shakespeare authori- ties pronounce 1t authentic.
 The disclosure was made when Ernest Law, the court antiquarian, was directing tbe renovations. On the wall of tfse old. retiring room he found, af- ter cleaning 1t, the letter "S," followed by illegible letters, conclrdtng Ike speare," and beneath the rough sketch of a hand and the date 1606
 It is a matter of history that the Shakespeare company visited the pal ace at the date set down and played Hamlet" before the then King Chris dan of Denmark. The company dress ed In tke haunted gallery" near the great hall where the play was enacted
 The gallery, according to ancient tradition, is haunted by the ghost Of Catherine Howard, one of Henry WITS six wives, who was imprisoned there. History tells that she escaped from confinement while the king was pray ing in his private chapel, and that her flight was discovered by the court guards, who dragged her screaming to the king, interrupting his devotions.
 It was long said that Catherine night walked the gallery, shrieking.-Torcn- to Globe.

CREDITS TREES WITH SENSE
Scientist Declares They Possess st Least Three Which Also Belong s to Human Raea.

The curator of the British Guiana museum, James Rodway. who is an eminent botanist, declares that plants possess at least three of our Eve senses-feeling. taste and smell-and that certain tropical trees smell water from distance, and will move straight toward it
 But trees not in the tropics can do as we'll. A resident of an old Scotch mansion found the waste pipe from the house repeatedly choked. Lift Ing the slabs in the basement paw Ing, he discovered that the pipe was completely encircled by poplar roots They belonged to a tree that grew some thirty yards away on the oppo- site side of the house.
 Thus the roots had moved steadily toward the house, and had penetrated below the foundation and across the basement until they reached their goal. the waste pipe, 150 feet away. Then they had pierced cement join Ing and had worked their way in long, tapering lengths inside the pipe for considerable distance beyond the house. There seems something al- most human in such. .unerring instinct and perseverance in surmounting ob- stacles.-New York Post

TeIItale Faces.

Mature seems to decide in advance, by face and gesture, what many people are best fitted for" That is the theory of Dr. Henry Chellew. who holds that by studying the faces of children, par ents and teachers may obtain valuable guidance as to their future careers. The following list Is a brief summary of some of his deductions: Triangular full face-Essentially a mental type. Unromantic, strenuous, eats little: thinks much. Feels little, sleeps little. Usually makes good accountant or en- gineer. Round full face-Essentially a vital character. Sentimental, easy going; sleeps and eats all the time. does little work. Makes usually a good mathematician. Pointed profile (such as the Chamberlain family)- Uncompromising, inclined to procras- tination.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
FAILURE IN VIENNA

Vienna, March 2S.-Americans who
may sometimes be dissatisfied with the
telephone, telegraph or postal service
in America should come here if they
want to see a really disorganized
means OF communication.
So demoralized is the telephone serv-
ice OF Vienna that a great mass meet
ing of business men has been held
and has demanded that this service
be taken from the government bureau
cracy and turned over to private
control.
1t is almost impossible to get central
and, once secured, the line is usually
cut after less than one minutes con-
claim they are overworked. undernour-
ished and the whole equipment run
down. The minister -of communica-
tions admitted TO the mass meeting
that the telephone and post and tele-
graph sysems generally had failed and
that the post office had paid more
than 100000 crowns last year for
stolen packages. Armed guards are
now placed on all mail transport.
The worst factor in the situation is
declared to be inability of officials to
enforce discipline under the present
government where various councils of
workmen and soldiers operate to make
the employees lax and independent.

Husbands Other Wife" The title ex-
cites your interest and it is under
stood the picture cannot fail to do
likewise, for 1t is built upon one of
the most dramatic situations in either
life or fiction.
Divorce made possible the situa-
tion. Adelaide Hedlar had no patience
with her doctor husband, who wanted
a home and children; who wanted to
be useful and accomplish some good
in the world. And he had no patience
with his actress wife who wanted only
the adulation and applause of an ad-
mlrlng public. She was a great actress,
and the glamour of the foot lights
held her in SPELL
so they got divorce and each went
their own way. Adelaide continued to
win new triumphs in plays written
for her by Wilfred Dean, who proposed
periodically and was always put off.
Or. Ridgewell went among the poor
IN the mountains and built a hospital
and school and church and was re-
garded almost as a Messiah
flnaIly the actress awoke to the
iact that there was something missing
IN her life, and that was the husband

Chapman, the Cleveland veteran is

Last season Chapman suffered much
from bad feet and legs caused during

Steadied to the task and showed the
most brilliant form of his career.
1t seems rather peculiar TO see DOME
Bush listed below two men in his own
circuit, but Bush's supremacy in the
past has been due largely to his great
gift in securing bases on balls and he
has fallen off steadily in this respect,
so that he loses points in attacking
power, and already has sloughed off
some in his fielding. But Bush is
not done yet, not by whole lot, as is
shown by the fact that the dope still
rates him ahead of Everett Scott who
has slipped back considerably, prob
ably due to the break of the Red Sox
last year.
Scott may be expected to improve in
his work directly in ratio to the i'm
provement of his teams chances in
pennant race. He is a great player,
and a winning played, but seems prone
to fall into careless habits when the
team is losing, a bad habit for one
with years of baseball before him.
