DEALT WITH MORTAL LIFE
There Are Ghosts In Shakespeare
Pages, but Subject Was Not
His Province.

1t is sometimes said that Shakes
peare teaches little or nothing con-
corning life after death. The reply Is
that this was not his province. His
genius was to paint the life of this
world as he saw it. Mrs. Leo Grindon,
who is a considerable authority on
the bard and his works, maintains,
nevertheless, that our greatest poet
knew great deal about spirits, and
in a recent series Of articles entitled
"Shakespeare's Ghosts" she gives
much information In support of her
view. Taking "Cymbeline," she shows
some striking parallels between the
supernatural" element in that play
and the facts Of modern spiritualism.
From "The Winters Tale" she selects
the trance of Hermione and her ap-
pearance Gin the etheric body to
Antigonus while at sea. Hamlet"
naturally is fertile in illustrations
both as regards the action of the play
and the text.

tragedy. She was haunted by Monty
Prices terrible smile. Only in action
Of some kind could she escape; and
to that end she worked, she walked
and rode. She even overcame strong
feeling, which she feared was unrea-
sonable disgust, for the Mexican girl
Bonita, who lay i'll at the ranch
bruised and feverish, in need of skill
full nursing.
One afternoon she rode down to the
alfalfa fields, round them, and back
up to the spillway Of the lower lake,
where a group of mesquite-trees, ow-
ing to the water that seeped through
the sand to their roots, had taken on
bloom and beauty of renewed life. I'm

enough to make a pleasant place to
linger. Madeline dismounted, desiring
to rest q little.
Her horse, Majesty, tossed his head
and flung his name and switched his
tail at the flies. He would rather
have been cutting the wind down the
valley slope. Madeline sat with her
back against tree, and took off her
sombrero. Suddenly Majesty picked
up his long ears and snorted. Then
Madeline heard a slow pad of hoofs.

Majesty, she turned him toward the
open. A moment later she felt glad
of her caution, for, looking back be-
tween the trees, she saw Stewart lead
ing horse into the grove. She would
as lief have met a guerrilla as this
cowboy.
Majesty had broken into a trot
when a shrill whistle rent the air. The
horse leaped and, wheeling so swiftly
that he nearly unseated Madeline, he
charged back straight for the mes
quites. Madeline spoke to him, cried
angrily at him, pulled with all her
strength upon the bride, but was
helplessly unable to stop him. He
whistled a piercing blast. Madeline
realized then that Stewart, his old
master, had called him and that moth
ing could turn him. She gave up try
ing, and the horse thumped into an
aisle between the trees and, stopping
before Stewart, whinnied eagerly.

She happened to love her husband
even though she had been welded to
him for some time. She kept con-
stantly realizing that in this respect
she was supposed to be both unusual
and sentimental-and envied.
She engaged a cook not long ago
and gave list of standard rules. She
forgot to tell her that If anything ran
low on night when guests came to-
dinner, above all the husband must
hot suffer-he must have the best of
everything at all times. After a din
ner party she realized that her hus-
band had not been served the best and
choicest portions. So she told the
cook this most important rule.

IDAHo's GOOD
LUCK

ANY state that has chief execu

fare of his state, well cGl consider
itself In luck.
Idaho has that kind OF a governor
for surely various of his actions since
his inauguration recently have gone
to prove him so.
One of he very first things Cover
nor Moore Of Idaho did after taking
office was to eliminate : horde of
state employees with one swoop Of his
pen, as 1t were.
He did not stop to play politics"
about 1t, he did not figure out what
such move might mean in the way
of arraying ex-employe votes against
him In the future, he very palpably
was actuated by the desire to cut
down the administrative costs of his
state.
Just the other day Governor Moore
had the courage and good logic to We
to the statewide direct primary meas
ure.
Every sort of legislative pressure
apparently was utilized not only to
force the bill through both houses,
but to make the governor approve
1t even to the extent, as the news ac-
counts had 1t, of holding UP "necess-
airy legislation. including the appro-
priation bills, for As days.
