Letters of Recommendation.

BILLY" Williams, United States
commissioner of internal revenue,
says a lawyer told him once that "a
letter of recommendation does not evil
dence a mans ability, but merely sig
nifies the amiability of the writer"
That is about as solid truth as one
will see in days work. Every ready
letter writer will agree to that. Many
letters tell the truth about the man
for whom they are written. but they
rarely tell the whole truth. If there
are unpleasant facts about the bearer
of the letter, the writer has been dis
creetly and cOurteously silent in re-
spect to them. It is not his business
to argue and analyze. 1t is his job
to give friend a life.-The Mont
gomeFy (Ala.) Advertiser

Hamleth was prince of Jutland; his
father, the king of Jutland, had been
murdered by his own brother Fengo,
who took the throne and queen of the
dead msn. Hamleth feigned madness
to save his own life. He stabbed one
of Fengo's courtiers, sent to spy upon
him, and for this purpose concealed
himself under a truss of straw. He
reproached his mother with her
shameful second marriage to such eff
feet 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 narrative, sometimes softening
them or changing them. in harmony
with his own vivid conception of
dramatic requirements. Shakespeare's
"Hamlet" was first played in 1900 or
1901, and first printed in 1903.

FROZE ICE CREAM WITH HAIL
STONES

Henry A. Bryant of Corea telephoned
to Bar Harbor business man Monday
of last week and asked him how much of
hail storm there had been in Bar Har-
Dor. The Bar Harbor man replied that
we had had little hail storm. The CO.
rea man then said that the storm at CO.
rea had been the worst that he had ever
seen, that the hail stones had been the
size of nutmegs and that he himself had
scraped up enough of these hail stones
with which to freeze five gallons of ice
cream. Other reports from across the
bay are to the effect that the storm was
the worst in years.-Bar Harbor Record.

Tokyo Statesmen Greet Text Of
Four-Power Pact With APP

By DUKE N. PARRY,

TOKYO, Dec. l3.-The hope that
the four power agreement in the Pa.

standing between the United States
and Japan was expressed by Viscount
Takahashi. Premier of Japan. In an
exclusive statement TO the Interna.
tional News Service today. This was
the Premier's first public statement OF
views concerning the new treaty.

IL am pleased over the news OF the
four power entente. / am glad to
know that America and Japan, whose
relations were misunderstood in some
quarters in the past. today appear in
near and most friendly relations"
TIE cabinet met today to discuss
TUE iOui -pOWtf treaty ann ltle zap
agreement.
Most OF the newspapers, in their
initial comment, viewed tn T., treaty in
IN unfriendly way. An exception was
hue Shimbun, which said:
While the people feel that the
agreement does not secure China and
Siberia, this is not necessary, due to
the change of all world conditions.
Britain did not want the old alliance
with Japan continued. But this new
agreement means friendly relations
among four powers. That is enough.
The press attack on the treaty WAS
d bv Yomauri Shimbun.
The treaty does not contain any
thing to secure the Far East" said
his newspaper. "China should have
been included II the whole Far East
question was to be handled success

ointment that the treaty is not sui.

gl0-Japanese alliance" They pro-
Tossed to regard IL as a temporary ar

AIlahabad Streets Deserted as
Prince of Wales Drives

. LONDON. Dec. 13.-Absence of de-
tails over the increasing unrest in
India led to the belief today that the
British have established a censorship
on all dispatches from that country.
There is much anxiety over the
Indian situation. The apprehension
was heightened by news that the
natives in Allahabad boycotted the
visit of the Prince of Wales. The
streets through which the prince
drove were absolutely empty.
Many arrests have been made
throughout India of both men and
women. Gandi. leader of the non-
co-operationists, ordered only passive
resistance, but despite this measure
disorders have occurred.
Mandalay and Rangoon. in Burma,
and the districts of Amherst, Han.

claimed under the seditious meetings

Delhi.
-Four prominent members Of the
Imperial legislative council of India
have issued a statement deprecating
the governments policy of repres.
sion. They urge both sides to dis
continue their present policy which,
If maintained, will lead to further
disorders and anarchy"
