THE CASPER
PHARMACY
=

Casper is fortunate in having its quota of
drug stores, all of which are conducted along
clean, legitimate lines. The prices asked at
these stores are on the same margin of profit
as before the war and are commensurate with
the high class establishments maintained.
Casper being a considerable distance from
wholesale ~centers, a stock of at least $4,000
must be carried in order to supply all demands
at all times. Many of the items carried are
called for only once in a year or more, but they
are there in case your physician needs them to
fill a prescription. The overhead at these
stores averages about 20 per cent on all items
carried and the druggists of this city are ask
ing only a fair profit on all articles sold.
People ordering from out of town do not
have the privilege of returning articles which
prove unsatisfactory as is accorded by these
stores. Neither do they have the opportunity
of asking advice of registered pharmacists as
to the contents and merits OF medicine as they
do at the local stores.
Credit can also be secured at these stores
when needed and the prescription of your ply
stefan can be filled when needed, not a week
or ten days later, which in many cases would
be too late.
For over fifteen years, the Casper Phar-
macy has been catering to the drug needs of
the local public-keeping before it the motto,
Qualify and Service" growing as Casper has
grown, in an earnest endeavor to give its pa
irons the best obtainable for their money.
And that this policy has paid is evidenced by
its steady substantial growth and its high posi-
ton held in the estimation of the public.
A corps of eight registered pharmacists is
maintained to give you expert service as to
your requirements, and you are assured of sat
isfaction at this popular institution.

HAMLET" AND AMY ROBSART
Why Shakespeare camOvfia0Od Story That Could Not at That
 Time Be Told.

It seems strange, so far as 1 know Shakespearean literature, that no crit ic has perceived the remarkable applic- ability of the tragedy of Amy RObsart to Hamlet, James WestfalI Thompson writes in the North American Review. The language of the play most star tlingly fits In with the case of Amy RObsart, the suspicion resting upon Lei cester of having cOmpassed her mur- der, and the suspected liaisOn be tween Leicester and Elizabeth.
 As long as Elizabeth lived even guarded criticism was dangerous. It required a change of dynasty to re lease even yelled speech. As for fiat, open discussion of the mystery of Amy RObsart or any other murder case of note. 1t was still quite impossible. Hence Shakespeare's resort to drama in which under camOuhaged guise Lon dOners might perceive the real spirit and condition of the age. Hamlet is the most brilliant assortment of dOu- ble- edged language, covert criticism, cutting allusiOns to contemporary men, women and events, burning scOrn, whitening irony. to be found in any literature. If read alright, the play dazes and astOunds the reader by it's keenness, its satire, the stinging lash of its language, its mOckery or con demnatiOn of some of the very great est persOnages in Elizabethan Eng land.

LIVE IN FEAR OF SPIRITS
Copper EskimOs Believe Themselves Constantly Surrounded by Mys.
 terious and Hostile Powers.

The Copper EskimOs believe that many strange ana only semi-human races surround their land. The h. dians, they feel, may be human, but the peoples far from them are alto gether strange.
 Birds and animals, think the Copper ESkimOs, can be offended by scOrnful words, and the hunter who mOckS the caribou or seal will be suddenly stricken down by Illness or dOgged by constant Ill luck. Not only must the Eskimo prOpitiate the shades of his human dead, but also the spirits of the animals he kills.
 Mysterious and hostile powers, in visible and incalcuIabIe, hem them in, as they believe. on every side. so that they never know from day to day whether fatal illness or mis fortune will not strike them or their families-frOm no apparent cause, and for no reason, save the Ill will of those unseen foes.
 The main distractions of the Cop per EsklmOs are singing and danc- ing. Practically all their songs are dancing songs. They have fashions in clothing. Every man and woman of fashion should possess two suits of everyday working clothes, one for summer and one for winter, a thick set of heavy winter clothing for travel and visiting, and lighter set of short haired summer skins Ornamented with cOlOred bands and insertions, fringes and appendages Of various kinds, to wear In the dance house on ceremonial occasions.

PunIohIna UnFortunatos.

Many Italian cities during the Mid de ages had a curious way of punish ing bankrupts. A large stone was set up in the market place of the town, and to this stone, on a certain day. were led all traders who had failed within the last year. One by one they were placed In the center of the stone, and their balance sheets were read to the crowd, which was permitted to jeer at each one In turn for specified time, the presiding official calling time" Jn the abuse by striking on a bell.
 When the jeering was over the bank rupt was bereft of necessary DOT tiOn of his clothing and seized by the shoulders and knees by six pub lie officers, who deliberately bumped him on the stone F times, in honor, it is said, of the Twelve Apostles. SchOOlbOys were encouraged to attend this performance, as it was considered to give them a wholesome lesson in commercial ethics.

There may have been a few Jews here before 1854, but it was in that year that they were definitely allowed to seek asylum in New Netherlands.
