SHAKESPEARE ON THE WHEEL.
Familiarity of tlio llaril of Avon With the
Silent Steed.
Shakespeare, it would seem, must
have known something about bicy
cles, for throughout bis plays ho
makes frequent references to the
wheel. It must be that Hamlet’s
father had visited a bicycle acad
emy where beginners on the wheel
were plenty, for the ghost said:
“What a falling off was there!”
This most excellent description is ;
paralleled by another in the same |
play, in which reference is made to i
an accident, the new woman of the i
early sixteenth century beipg evi
dently the greatost sufferer. The
first player says: X
“Break all the spokes and fellies
from her wheel.”
Then tbo fool in “Lear” gives ad
vice to coasters, of the merits of
which the modern rider may judgo
for himself. Ho says:
“Lot go thy hold when a pfhat
wheel runs down hill, lest it break
thy neck with following it.”
Even Cleopatra had hor wheel.
Antony advises her to mount it and
soek Caesar when he says:
“Of Csesar seek your honor on
your safety. ’ ’
There were evidently bicycle
thieves in those days, and owners
had to carefully guard their precious
wheels. In “The Tempest” Alonzo
says to the king:
“Wo, too, my lord, will guard your
person while you take your rest and
watch your safety.”
In the same play Ariel undoubt
edly heard the King and his attend
ants coming on their wheels when
ho sung:
“Hark! Now I hear them; ding,
dong, hell.”
There is no doubt that Achilles,
in “Troilus and Cressida, ” traveled
on a bicycle, for ho says to his myr
midons:
“Attend me while I wheel.”
It is safe to assume that, as today,
the wheel is a never ending source
of conversation, so was it at the
time of Titus Andronicus, though
the listener was more patient then.
Aaion says to Demetrius:
“Now talk at pleasuro of your
safety. ’ ’
It appears from a quotation made
by the King in “All’s Well That Ends
Well” that the law requires lamps
to he carried at night, and that a
violation of it was followed by death.
Ho says:
“Let mo livo after my flame lacks
oil.”
Chains wero not noiseless, and
hells were used in the days of the
“Comedy of Errors, ” as shown by a
conversation botween tbo Drornio of
Syracuse and Adriana, which runs
thus:
“A chain, a chain. Do you not hear
it?”
“What—the chain?”
“No, no; the bell.”
Tbe availability of wheels in dan
gerous service is illustrated in “Cor
iolanus, ” when the winded mes
senger says to Cominius:
Spies of the Voices
Held me in chase, that I was forced to wheel
Throe or four miles about, else had I, sir,
Half an hour since brought my report.
The tire of winch Shakespeare
wrote was evidently filled with hair
instead of air, and even its color was
of importance. In “Much Ado About
Nothing” Margaret says:
“I like the new tire within excel
lently, if the hair were a thought
browner!”
Puck’s prophotic remark about
placing a girdle round tlio world in
40 minutes is fully equaled by that
of Launce in “The Two Gentlemon
of Verona” when he says:
“Then may I set the world on
wheels. ”
Surely the prophecy has been ful
filled.—Washington Post.
Her Calling.
“Is this where they hand in the
advertisements?” askod the prim
little woman in black.
“Yes, ma’am,” replied the adver
tising clerk. “What can I do for
you?”
“I wish to hand in a vocation.”
“A what, ma’am?”
“A vocation, ” stiffly rejoined the
little woman. “I ain’t lookin for
an ordinary job. I’m used to bein
a governess, and it ain’t good form
for a governess to advertise the same
wav as if she wanted a place in
somebody’s kitchen. I want this
■ put under the head of ‘Vocation,’ if
* it costs a quarter extra. Do you get
tho idea, sir?”
“Yes’m,” said the clerk helpless
ly. “Hand over your ad.”—Chica
go Tribune.
The Exception.
“They say that a man cannot suc
cessfully do two things at once.”
“I’ve heard it said.”
“Do you believe it?”
“I’ve never had any occasion to
doubt it. ”
“Have you ever had any experi
ence in municipal affairs?”
“A little.’.’
“Then you must have known of
cases in which a man has drawn two
salaries at once and kept it up for
some time.”
“Oh, well, anything is possible to
a financier In politics.”—Chicago

The lYuffaS o and Flamingoes.
The buffalo is used as a beast of
burden in Java. Everywhere you
see them grazing lazily in tho fields
or dragging carts and plows. It is a
clumsy animal. Thick folds of su
perfluous fat and skin hang about
tho nock and limbs, and a constant
stream of perspiration runs from its
almost hairless body. A beautiful
pair of crescent shaped horus adorn
the forehead of this tropical horse.
Flocks of flamingoes and white
cranos strut and fly in and out
among theso beasts.
On one occasion I saw a boautiful
flamingo parading up and down the
hack of a buffalo cow, which was
lying almost ifnmersed in a mud
hole by tho roadside. The bird was
feasting his tropical appetite by
picking insects and other unwelcome
visitors from the shining hack of
this mammoth boast. This kind of
thoughtfulness on the part of tho
flamingo is much appreciated by
tbo cow, and I am convinced there
exists between them a pure, platonic
friendship. What a peculiar thing
this world is, for what is a torture
and a menace to tho buffalo is a
choice morsel much appreciated by
tho acute palate of the crane!—Mil

Mv. Editor.—l Lave read how Mr. C.

FREE SILVER!
A Discussion of tlie
Currency Question
by J. W. Prince of
Pearson, Gfa,
The people of every section of the United States are discussing'free
silver, and, after several months of dilligcnt study, 1 have concluded to issue
tins circular letter to the good people of my county.
I do not believe, from the reiding of the Republican platform that they
will enact a free coinage law. Mo more silver coins will be added to the vol
ume of our currency except that which is coined for the purpose of redeem
ing and retiring our paper money. Now, the question I wish to discuss is,
how can we use what money we have in circulation in Coffee county to tho
best advantage.
Firstly, I would advise strict economy, which can bo practiced by trading
at my store. I have the largest and best selected stock of general merchan
dise in Pearson, and am willing, yea anxious, to accept all 52 cent silver dol
lars in payment for my goods, giving as much and often more than you get
elsewhere for a gold dollar.
Those who have the cash to pay for their purchases can sec their money
appreciating in value as soon as they enter my store.
I have a pretty line of Shoes. Hats, Dry Goods, Clothing, Groceries,
Fancy Candies, Cold Drinks, Trunks, Crockeryware, Glassware, etc., etc.
Remember I have the goods and they arc to be sold at real bargain
prices. Don’t forget to call and hear the Regina play. Each and every
purchase to the amount of 50 cents entitles you to a ticket and a chance to
