WHO HAMLET WAS

Hamlet, the hero of Shakespeare's
most famous tragedy, is a parsonage
who appears in history, yet is half
mythological, but has been trans
formed by the genius Of the English
poet into one Of the most dominating
figures of literature. 1t is allowed
that Shakespeare's Hamlet was sug-
gested by the Hamlet, or Amleth, Of
Saxo Grammaticus The latter's "His-
tory of Denmark" had been published
in Paris in 1914. Francois de Belle
forest included the tale Of Hamlet in
his 'Tragic Histories" (1570), an
English translation of which ap-
peared in 1908. Shakespeare's
drama was written earlier than this
last date and must have derived it's
plot either from de Belleforests work
or a translation executed before the
end of the sixteenth century, unless
the poet, who, it is known, was a
great reader ;of histories, took the
incident direct from Saxo Grammati-
Gus.
According to the Danish historian,
Hamlet was prince Of Jutland; his
father the king of Jutland, had
been murdered by his own BROTH
er, Fengo, who took the throne and
queen of the dead man. Hamlet
feigned madness to save his own
life. He stabbed one Of Fengo's cour-
tiers, sent to spy upon him, and had
for this purpose concealed himself un-
der a truss of straw. He reproached
his mother with her shameful Sec
ond marriage to such effect that she
promised to help him in avenging
his father by putting Fengo to death
"a promise which she kept. These
are the very incidents Shakespeare
has selected for his play, sometimes
emphasizing the points of the narra-
tive, sometimes softening them or
changing them in harmony with his
own vivid conception of dramatic re-
ouirements. Shakespeare's Hamlet
was first played in 1900 or 1901. and
first printed in 1603.-Kansas City

JAGUAR AND BULL CONTEST.

The Panamanic who is q real sport
delights in nothing so much as a real
fight between a jaguar and a bull.
One must visit the isthmus to see
this particular kind of sport.
An enormous cage, strongly built
on scantlings and iron bars, is placed
in the center of the ring used for
bull fights. a bull is placed inside
of it and presently one of the huge
South American cats IS wheeled up
in a similar cage and introduced into
the barred inclosure. The latter is
about ten feet high, with twice that
length and breadth.
In the fight which then ensues the
bull is victorious usually. Not more
than once in ten such contests does
the jaguar prove the victor. This
would not be the case if the animals
were not restricted to so narrow a
space but the big cat. being obliged
to rely mainly upon it's activity, does
not have a fair chance.
Nevertheless, the duel greatly de-
lights the spectators. The fair Pan
amanicures chriek with excitement,
and the little Panamanikins rend the
air with yells.-Boston Globe.

THE DEFEATED FARMER.

We were the first to take the long
hike back to less than pre-war prices.
'Tis true we were not altogether
willing travellers. Neither were we
anxious to be Debated, and readjust-
ed, but now as we have been forced
back into the region of extremely low
prices, we expect our neighbors, in
dustry and business, to join us. Too,
we find it a bit lonesome down in the
valley of low prices alone.
The high salaried men and the
profteers on the surrounding peaks,
are holding their positions with diff
iculty it appears; occasionally one of
them falls, but in the end they must
come down out of their rear nights.
If business is to resume it's wanted
way, people must meet on a common
level.
At present things are very much
out of balance"
/ Trade in the Debated lines is very
good, but where war prices prevail
we expect little business. Undoubtedly
We farmers have fallen too low.

the other fellows pull Gown, times
will begin to be readjusted, and not
till then.

URGES VOTERS TO VOTE
OFF SCHOOL. TAXES
Editors The Dispatch-News:

Editors The Dispatch-News:
Please allow me space in your
paper to say few words to the vot-
,ers and taxpayers. I hear SO much
talk about high and unjust taxes.
What is the cause of our unjust
taxes? I would say the cause is So
called school for betterment schools.
It don't look to me like the schools
are near as good as they were Is
years ago. Now, ladies and gentle
men what is the best solution to
fright the high and unjust taxation
It looks to me that they should be
righted at the polls. My advice to all
the schools is to get a petition with
over one-third Of the freeholders and
over One-half Of the electors in the
district, to be filed in the office OF
i the county superintendent of edu-
cation and call an eectiOn and vote
off some of the unjust mills that were
voted on last year by the promise and
giving of state aid to the schools.
And who paid the state aid to the
schools? Was it not me and other tax
payers that paid it? And is that ac-
cording to the Gospel? If it is, please
some one tell me where l can find it.

Friendship is the most essential
thing in the business world, or in any

make friends by browbeating and

This isn't tough world. It's a
beautiful world, peach of a world,
if you think right and live right, and
find out what is the most important
thing in life-and that is happiness.
And the way to get it is to create it
and the only way to keep it is to
spread it around.
Now you take a tip and don't go

trine you have handed out to me, be-
cause you're only going to lead some
young fellow astray. Go out in the

CHURCH MUST WORK
TO DEFEAT DEVIL

New York, June 5.-"The deVl
is working 365 days a year; the
church has got to work to beat the
devil" Rabbi Aaron Eiseman de-
clared in an interview.
The young rabbi who recently stir
red New York with sermon in which
he declared "our social environment
is rotten" and characterized vampires
as "she devils,' summed up present
conditions as follows:
Religion may be regarded as prac-
tically a failure, unless it gets down
off it's pedestal and mingles with the
people on a common ground.
"The church must be iberalized
and humanized, and its representa-
tives must preach less along doc
trinal and theological lines and more
upon everyday life.
"People are turning away from
the church because it is too undem-
ocratic, and because it lives too much
in past centuries, rather than the
present.
"Clean and wholesome pleasures
and recreations should be encouraged
by the church. The people are going
to dance. play cards and attend the
movies anyway, so why not give them
these things with. the sanction and
supervision of the church"
Rabbi Eiseman declared there is
but one solution to present day moral
training. He said he regarded the
great number Of divorce scandals as
the worst of modern evils, with i'm
moral dancing, salacious movies, i'm
modest dress, gambling and vam-
pires-both on the screen and in
real life-close behind.

no moral or intellectual progress over
the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians,"

eve are living in a generation just
as money-mad and material as ever;
a generation perhaps more sensual

the demand for immoral plays and
movies; in the lack Of modesty in
conduct, dress and demeanor. md in
