HAD LITTLE USE FOR BOOKS
Friend Of Grover Cleveland Boasted That He Praetieed Law "En-
 tireIy by Ear."

Grover Cleveland had a friend in his early days as a lawyer, and the friend was also a lawyer, although a lazy one. Whenever it became neces- sary for him to use a decision bearing upon any case he lounged in Cleve- lands office and casually wormed the desired information cut of his friends mental storehouse. Cleveland was not dull to appreciate the fact and re- sent the sponging. He resented it chiefly because his friend was cap able of better things, and could, if spurred to it, get along quite we'll by himself.
 One day the friend came in on his usual errand, and when Cleveland had heard tie accustomed preliminaries to the pumping process, he told him plainly that the fount of information was closed, but said Cleveland to him {: "There are my books and you are quite welcome to use them, You can read your own cases" The friend, who was an excitable man, retorted quickly : "See here, Grover Cleveland, I want you to understand that I don't read law. I practice entirely by ear, and you and your books can go to thun- der"

DESERTED POET FOR EARL
shakespeare's Lady Love Missed the Opportunity of Sharing m
 His Fame.

Shakespeare, writer of a hundred rOmances, had but one in his life, and that was an unhappy one. It was with a certain Mary Fitton, a lady in waiting to Queen Elizabeth, who, according to all accounts, must have been a most unworthy young minx. She was beautiful enough, with large black eyes and wealth of black hair that framed a face of healthy pallor, and gave excuse for Shake speare's reference to her as the dark lady"
 Shakespeare loved her with all his heart, and she returned his love for 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 to 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 afterward married a mere army cap tain, and history promptly lost sight of her.

MUCH CORN MUST

COLD WEATHER AND THE HARD
( RAINS HAVE PLAYED HAVOC
-. WITH ISLANDS,

From Wednesdays Daily Herald
AS a result of the cold snaps. the
heavy washing and beating rains
much of the early corp of the county
will have to be replanted. Reports
from various sections are to the effect
that very few stands" of corn in the
county are good. Where the seed did
terminate and come through the
ground the plant was niped by the
frost or has been victim of the cut
worms which flourish most when the
nights are cold. Fortunately there
will bes little loss except in labor and
some seed. and the latter is not ex-
pensive, because there is plenty of
time in which to plant a corn crop
Many farmers, profiting by past expe-
rienCe do not plant their corn until
after the first of May and they arc
congratulating themselves upon this
fact. OF course where re-planting is
done the land will have to be again
worked and that means that the crop
will have to have less cultivating than
would otherwise have been the case.
