" 7ILLlAM SHAKESPEARE, often " called the greatest poet and W playwright that the world has produced, is as much a man of mystery as an immortal genius.
 He died only little more than three hundred years ago and it would seem that every phase of his busy and event. full life would be matter of careful historical record, yet we actually know less about him than about many figures of the most remote antiquity. The date of his bi1.i. is uncertain. Only two portraits of him are regarded as authentic, and all that is definitely known of his life as an Englishman of Elizabethan times can be set down in a few lines. Relics that belonged to him are, as one writer has said, "almost as rare as the remains of the dodo." Many scholars say that it was not Shakespeare but Sir Francis Bacon who wrote all the plays and poems credited to the former.
 And there is even grave doubt in tho minds of some authorities as to whether the tomb in Holy Trinity Church at lStratford- Avon, to which pilgrims from all over the world come to pay reverent homage, really holds the bones of Shakespeare.
 It is supposed that he was buried there | in 1916, but 50 much doubt has been cast on the fact, and there have been 50 many suspicious that his remains were subsequently removed, that there have been repeated attempts to open the tomb and find out the truth.
 1 But this has never been done for humber of reasons, one of them being l the superstitious fear which the epitaph over the tomb inspired in many people. A number of persons who planned to fmake such an investigation frankly ad- imitted that they were deterred at the last minute by an eerie feeling which came over them when they read the an- lcient curse contained in the epitaph.
 Translated into modern English this |epitaph reads:
 Good friend for Jesus' sake forbear
 To dig the dust enclosed here;
 Ble.ssd bs the man that spares
 these stones,
 And eurssa be hs that moves my
 bonss.
 Although these lines have been called ldoggerel and unworthy of the poet, if Inc wrote them, they have played an im- portant part in keeping his grave in- fviolate for more than three centuries and thus deepening the mystery that |surrounds his life, death and burial.
 Not all critics, however, consider these |verses foolish doggerel, and Washington Irving says, in his Sketch Book, that lthese lines "have in them something ex- |tremely awful, and show that solicitude about the quiet of the grave which seems natural to fine sensibilities and thoughtful minds"
 Professor c. R. Haines, the eminent English antiquarian, is now leading 8 ] movement to have the supposed tomb ! opened and reverent and thorough ex- | animation of 1t made under the proper l scientific auspices. He thinks it nothing less than the English nations plain duty 1 to do this in the hope that it will go a J long way toward clearing up some of the
