STRATFORD IS
PLAGE OF PEACE
Shakespeare’s Old Home Casts
Softening Spell Over Its
Throngs of Visitors.
Voices of Strangers Are Not Lifted
in Hilarity—Villagers Enjoy and
Appreciate Shakespeare—Many
Americans There.
Rtrnf ford-on-A von. — The poet of
Shropshire bus given bis high metrical
nutlierltj to the statement that the
quietest places under the run are in
that county; hut lie refers to places
only, and obviously Is not thinking of
towns, of v, life'll the quietest tinder
the sun is surely Stratford-on-Avon, It
nssimllnles Its visitors without noise,
niueii ns Shakespeare himself compre
hends tlfe heights and depths of human
life easily ns to the manner horn.
There are plenty of strangers here I
this summer, lint they do not make a
crowd and their voices are not lifted
In hilarity. Perhaps they are under the
softening spell of genius. The nearest
approach to merriment I have yet no
ticed. however, was In front of the
birthplace. It was already full of
sightseers, and a little throng' awaited
ptiirnnce on ihe pa vein.hit. Among them
was not one “in the learned way.” ns
Roswell puts It. hut the whole com
pany bore th(‘ plain, sturdy, hucollc
stamp. Dressed in their customary
Sunday suits of solemn black they re
vered iho immortal memory with
contrasted cheerfulness.
In the train from London a French
man on holiday asked tup for advice
on motor traveling between Stratford
and Leamington. Having Just four
Hours to spend in Stratford he was pro
posing to see all the sights, to attend
the sumnier festival matinee of “As
You Like It” In the Memorial theater.
,tnd to catch a glimpse of Warwick on
his way hack to the railway. Evidently
Americans are not the only folk who
ean hustle. He might have been reas
sured on the motor question. Such Is
the enterprise In this direction that It
Is calculated that sixty char-a-bancs
ami the like stay In Stratford every
day. They take their passengers to
the many delightful towns and vil
lages in the neighborhood so., bring
In (lie inhabitants of spots which
would otherwise be remote.
Villagers Enjoy Shakespeare.
A large proportion of tiie audiences
of the summer festival are vdingprs.
who have learned ti. rely on the motor
as a means of conveyance, and they
do. I ain assured, really appreciate
Shakespeare. Not only that, bill they
possess an Inborn aptitude for Did
English dances and pageantry. The
stories, one hoars of Maypole and
Morris dancing In some of Ihe villages
suggest either that Shakespeare's
England has never died, or has been
revived by the agencies that atm at
resuscitating the drama in the coun
tryside. But It should not he conclud
ed that these village festivals are
manufactured by artistic labor. On
the contrary, they are described us tlie
spontaneous sports of the young In
which tiie old are not afraid to Join'.
Stratford itself has more than out
-ape11 place to which a Maypole would
(eem no alien addition. From time to
.line much has been said and written
if its commercialisation. With some,
he memory of Shakespeare may have
become a trade, like aluminum or any
tiling else. Others have shown how
little they fear the Intrusion of a fac
tory. Yet the town remains a verj
passable vestige of that in which
Shakespeare was horn. The spirit of
the Elizabethan village still broods
over its timbered houses and spacious
streets, and the business In mementoes
has not succeeded in destroying their
mooning. No town, cun get pence fu;
the rsKn.s.. and it Is peace which
Stratford lias secured by some semi
divine right and retains in spite of
every provocation to barter the posses
sion.
Many Americans There, Too.
The Warwickshire meadows are as
smooth and gieen ns ever. There the
river glides at its own sweet will with
the placidity of other streams but none
of their dullness. One wonders wheth
er It is only for Shakespeare thnt ihe
whole world comes to Stratford, or
whether some part of tiie compulsion
Is not Hint desire for retreat which he
has expressed in many a remembered
passage.
Be the attraction what It mny, the
visitors this very year form a kind of
conspectus of Stratford s upltersnl at*
traction, it need hardly he said that
there have been many small imrlles
of Americans. From various registers
may he gathered ail Idea of their rep
resentative character, for Denver fol
lows Boston and New York is next
door to Colorado In those undeniable
pages. South America Is there, too
} Australia stands high in the list of
Dominion visitors, and after Australia
I Celtics South Africa.
In Death They Are Not Divided.
Lexington. Kv.—“Red Ruck” was
only a dog. hut he was faithful to Ids
master, S. S. Fixer of Mt. Sterling
Kv., and is to me Immortalized In
Hone along with ids owner according

died a year ago, set aside $1,1)00 for n

size likeness of the dog.
SEVERE ON TOURISTS
End ! ess Passport Ru’es Are Eiv
torced by Turk Authorities.
Many Travelers Take Ships to Marx
teilles or Venice to Escape Argu
ments at the Frontiers.
Constantinople.—Nine vises are re
quired to carry a traveler from Con
stantinople to Paris on the Oriental
express, and the task is so great most
travelers take steamers to Marseilles
or Venice In preference to the jumbled
rail trip across the Balkans, which ne
cessitates endless controversies with
ollicials at various frontiers.
An American going to Paris by rail j
must start with tlm vise of tiie United |
Stales consulate on his passport, tlieu i
go to the Swedish legation to get The j
Bulgarian vise. The Serb inn stamp is j
next in order. It must be followed by
three Greek stomps.
Then vises must he had of the Ital
ian and iIn- French military controls.
Many passports are not large enough
to carry all Hie stamps. An English
man who recently attempted to get
the collection on an old passport ex
hausted all tiie blank space In four
calls. His embassy would not permit |
him to attach a blank sheet to Ids j
passport. Consequently he had to I
have a new one issued and started !
over again on the round.
Since tiie Polish disaster, bolshevik
agitation has become so acute In Tur
key that travelers are watched more
carefully than ever before by the al
lied oMidals.
On n recent passenger ship from
Batutn, a so-tailed Russian colonel,
whose conversation with British olii-
ciais showed a decided ignorance of
military affairs, was arrested. He had
live passports In his trunks, with great
quantities of soviet literature *n many
languages. The bogus colonel was
sent to General Wrangel in tiie
Crimea.
TEA DRINKING KEEPS UP
Decrease in Imports Due to Surplus
Which Accumulated During
War.
Washington.—-The reduction In the
quantity of teH Imported Into the Uni
ted States last year was not due to a
falling off In the consumption, ns er
roneously reported, says George F.
Mitchell, supervising tea examiner of
the bureau of chemistry, hut to the
surplus supply brought In during the
war and to high prices In the ten pro
ducing countries. As It was, the
amount Imported was slightly more
than the normal annual importations
before the war though less than dur
ing the conflict and the tea was the
finest on record.
The large importations during the
war were due, according to Mr. Mit
chell, to the fear on the part of the
tea importers that nn embargo would
he placed on Importations later. Last
year with supplies on hand tiie im
porters hesitated to bring in addi
tional tea at higher prices. It is prob
able that more tea is being consumed
since the advent of prohibition lima
formerly.
1,300-FT. SERPENT AS MOUND
Left by Ancient Peoples in Ohio as a
Symbol of Religion—Built of
Earth and Stone.
West Union, Ohio.—A great serpent
1,300 feet long, built of earth und
stone, a symbol of the religion of
ancient peoples, stands a few miles
from here as the most interesting and
Important earthwork, left by Hie
mound builders of Ohio.
Situated in a rather secluded spot,
supposedly selected by Hie mound
builders for privacy in performing
their ancient rites, the massive reptile
.rinds gracefully hack from a glen to
higher land. The serpent's head rests
on n rock platform which presents a
precipitous face to Hie descending sun
and is about 100 foot high, 1’Jie Jaws
of the mouth are widely extended In
the act of swa'lowlng an egg, repre
sented by nn oval ridge of earth.

A TRADE ORPHAN
MICKIE SAYS
A man who does not wear a Pana

"Orphan.'’
The peacliar applicability of this
did not appeal fee a certain b. yer until
one day he asked his hater about
it.
The man said to him:
"Don't you wear a Panama hat ;P>r
in.g the summer, Mr. Brown?"
"No; I never wear a Panama," that
worthy cad replied.
"Then," returned the hatter, "you
are an "orphan."
“But why an orphan?” protested Mr.
Brown.
'Because," explained the hatter, "you
have no Pa-na-ma.’
