Grover Cleveland had friend In

friend was also lawyer, although a

sary for him to use decision bearing
upon any cnse he lounged in Ceve-

dull 10 appreciate the fact and re-

chiefly because his friend was cap

One day the friend came Ia ON his
usual errand, and when Cleveland had
heard the accustomed preliminaries to

plainly that the fount OF information
was closed, but said Cleveland to him
There are my books and you are quite
welcome 10 use them. You can read
your own cases" The friend, who was
an excitable man, retorted quickly:

DESERTED POET FOR EARL
shsxespsare's Lady Love Missed the
Opportunity Of Sharing In
His Fame.

Shakespeare, writer OF hundred
romances. had but one in his life, and
that was an unhappy one II was
with a certain Mary Fitton, a lady
In waiting to Queen Elizabeth, who.
according 10 all accounts, must have
been most unworthy young mink.
She was beautiful enough. with
large black eyes ard a wealth Of black
hair that framed a face Of healthy
pallor and gave excuse for Shake
speare's reference 10 her as the dark
lady"
Shakespeare loved her with all his
heart, and she returned his love for
little space, and then became at
tracted TO the earl OF Pembroke.
Shakespeare's dearest friend and pa-
tron. Probably because she feared
what the poet might say, she proceed
ed to lure him away from Shakespeare
and the young writer sunk in gloom
and despair. This was about the year
1901. and his sonnets written between
1898 and that date tell the story clear
enough. However. lovers OF the bard
may have the satisfaction OF knowing
that the earl and the lady were caught
In their amour and she was dismissed
from the court, while the earl was
sent 10 the Tower Of London. She
was the daughter of Sir Edward Fit
ton' and at the time of her affair with
the dramatist was 20 years old. She
aflerward married a mere army cap
tain. and history promptly lost sight
Of her.

Delightful Taste, Immediate
Relief, Quick Warm-Up.

The sensation of the year In the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two
minute cold and cough reliever, au-
thoritatively guaranteed by the lab
.oratories; tested. approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities. and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid Of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half a dollar for a
bottle OF Aspironal and tell him to
serve you two teaspoonfuls with four
teaspoonfuls Of water in glass.
With your watch in your hand, take
the drink at one swallow and call for
your money back in two minutes if
you can not feel your cold fading
away like a dream within the time
limit. Don't be bashful for all drug
gists invite you and expect you to
try it. Everybody's doing it.
When your cold or cough Is re-
lieved, take the remainder of the
bottle home to your wife and babies,
for Aspironal is-by far the safest and
most effective. the easiest to take and
the most agreeable cold and cough
remedy for infants and children

Ruth and Strickler

A hot controversy, which has
long been wagcd as to who was who"
among certain fat men when it came
10 golf was settled--at least tenn
porartly-hy match played at Elm
wood Country Club Thursday after
noon. The players, G. III. Ruth and
w. G, Strickler who were matched
AGAINST DIR. NJ. y. Chesire and Ralph
Scott, today are nursing sore mus
cies from climbing the hills and
probably have more respect for the
same--the match being practically
the hrst attempt of all but Scott AS
TO the result-well Ruth and Strick-
Ter won. up for nine holes I'm the
four-ball match In which both low
bail and low total were counted. The
side bet was the suppers, but the
main object was the glory OF victory
Scott stripped for the match at
go. DR.. Chesire weighed in at 200
Ruth, conditioned to the minute,
posted his weight as 2l5 and Strick-
Ter claims he tipped the beam POS.
The earth fairly shook as this quar-
tet tramped the fairways. Not many
players were about. but the match
drew a gallery. Wild life on the
course sought shelter. The wood
chuck, who has his home by the
eighth fairway early posted an lat
home sign for the afternoon and ex-
tended his burrow deeper. The fox
squirrel that capers about the ninth
fairway forsook the turf for the tip
of the tallest elm in the mule corral.
These people were not taking any
chances.
Something less than two complete
sets OF clubs furnished equipment.
Dudley Gregory was appointed Of
flcial score keeper. but complained
before the first hole was played that
he would do the best he could with
out an adding machine.
After the third hole council OF
war was held on the question Of
whether or not golf balls should be
dispensed with and play for the rest
OF the round be resumed by using the
divets OF turf. since more distance
was being obtained with the turf
torn up than with the balls. Objec-
ton was raised to this because the
tees were skinned-and fear of what
the green committee might have to
say about It.
The wasted efforts, missed shots.
grief and sorrow that ensued en- route
on the course can be passed over.

he was past 40 knows without being
told.

fenced had low score, 10. DR.. Chesire
