?ale Calais 5-Minute Biographies Author of "Hou> to Win Friends and Influence People." WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Shakespeare Had A Shot-Gun Wedding No one paid much attention to liim while he lived. A hundred years after his death his name was still practically unknown. Yet since that tii?tf> millions of woids have been written about him; lie has aroused more com ment than any other writej- who ever sharpened his wisdom teeth j on a goose-quill pen; and thous-l ands of people, every year, make : pilgrimage to the place where he 1 was born. 1. for one. was there in 1921. I used to wander cross-country from Stratford to Slattery ? treading tlfe fields swept by his Hi* Home Town Buried Him With Honors Because H? Was a Money Lender eager feet when, as an awkward country I toy. he hurried to keep tryst with his sweetheart, Anne Whately. Little did William Shakespeare suspect then that his name would ring down the ceuturies ?n a paeon or glory. And. fortunately, little did he suspect that his idvl lic young love was doomed to sorrow and' to years of regret. Shakespeare's bride was not Anne Whately. I>ui Anne Hatha way, eight years older than him self. From the very start, their marriage was a miserable farce. Time and again in- his plays, he warns men against marrying old er women ? and as a matter of fact, he lived with Anne Hatha way very little of the time. Most of his married life was passed in London, and he probably return ed to his 'family no oftener than once a year. We. iti America, think we are having hard times now; but in Shakespeare's day. one halt' the population of Stratford was living on public relief. Most of the peo ple were illiterate. Neither Shak espeare's father dor- mother nor sister nor daughter nor grand daughter could either read or write. The man who was destiued to become the power and glory of English literature, had to leave school when he was thirteen and go to work. His father was a glove-maker and a farmer ? and Shakespeare milked cows, sheared the sheep, churned the butter, and helped tan leather and soften hides. But when lie died. Shakespeare was a wealthy man by the stand ards of his day. Within five years of his arrival in London, he was making good money as an" actor. He bought shares in ?vo theatres, he dabbled in real estate, he lent money at a high rate of interest, and presently his income was three hundred pounds a year. The purchasing power of money then was about twelve times what it is today ? so that when Shakes peare was forty-five, he had an income of something like $20,000 . .a year. Shakespeare had been dead sev en years before all his' plays were published in book form. Today, if you would like to buy a first edi tion. you can pick up a pretty ex cellent copy in New York for something like a (Hiarter of a million dollars. Yet Shakespeare himself probably never got the equivalent of even six hundred dollars for such plays as Hamlet, i Macbeth, or A Midsummer Night's Dream. I once asked Doctor S. A. Tan nenbaum, who has written a number of books on Shakespeare, if there was proof absolute that HELP KIDNEYS To Get Rid of Acid ?nd Poisonous Waste Your kidneys help to knp yoa,w?U by constantly fllterinf *asto matte* from ths blood.

PERRVS P/ T. A. >IKKTS The P. T; A. of Perry's School, i colored, held its regular bimonth ly. meeting Monday night. Febru ary 1*4, 1938 in the {school build ing. The meeting was called to order by a few brief remarks ou the part of the president, O. P.' Perry. As an opening soug. the group sang "America". Prayer was offered by Rev. O. B. Wil liams followed by a spiritual, ^'Steal Away'1. The theme of this meeting was "School Discipline". Mauy inter esting remarks were made by the parents, stating (heir part- in the discipline of the school. It was pointed out that ffte job of dis ciplining school children was too enormous for the parents to leave it for the school alone, but' they must also help, and have the school to feel that it has their cooperation in whatever is done for the betterment of the school and community. The principal and teachers asked for true and whole hearted cooperation on the part of the parents iu trying to make the school a place, not only where in tellectual development is made, but also a place where principles of Christianity, character and citdzenship are established. The principal reminded the parents of the necessity of keep ing up a good attendance, especial l7?Wginnlng with the seventh month of the school year, so that the children will have the benefit ?of an eight mout<h school term. He explained to them the statu tory law which provides for an additional two months of school supported by the state, provided that during this period t<he at tendance for any one week does not fall below 60% of the average attendance maintained the first six months of the school term. A number of parents slated their coopeVation relative to the attend ance problem. Delicious refreshments, carry ing out the Vatetine color scheme, were served. Contributed. The trouble is that one extrava gance always suggests another. ADMINISTRATOR'S XOTICK Having qualified as Administra tor of the estate of Beatrice R. (Mrs. J. L.)
