To transfer, even in fancy, the mighty figure of a mighty epoch to an age no less great is to me a fascinating and thrilling ad venture. If Shakespeare lived today! De cidedly it would be an adventure — a tremendous one —to whisk the Im mortal Bard from the sixteenth cen tury to the twentieth, from the old Globe Theatre in London to Forty second Street and Broadway in j New ■‘York; from the picturesque bedizenments of hose, ruff and doublet to the equally picturesque habiliments of the modern play wright and actor. And to Shakespeare, too. I have little doubt, such an experience would be an adventure to stir his vaulting spirit to its depths. Prod uct that he was of an heroic era, when men were pushing out, ex panding, exploring far afield in the twin realms of earth and thought, with what satisfaction would he live in this teeming world of ours; with what delight take issue in the multifarious interests and occupa tions of our modern life! I can imagine him sitting at the Players, with Christopher Morley, Oliver -Herford, Jack Barrymore, and a merry company of wits and writers about him, telling stories, discussing the movements of the day, debating the merits of the latest novel, or analyzing the in tricacies of the latest psychological play. I can see him issue from the Algonquin—Shakespeare in a sack suit!—and strcll down Broadway, nodding, here, bowing there, stop ping to chat with the celebrities of the day, known by and knowing all. And I can see him, in full eve ning dress, behind the footlights responding to the cries of '“Author! Author!” on tlie first night of his new play. A World of Marvels Even more clearly I can imagine the deep interest, pleasure and sur prise with which he would look upon the material accomplishments of this modern age. The radio, the telephone, the motion pictures— these, of course, would fill him with the most profound amaze ment, such as any Elizabethan might feel. The aeroplane, the sky scraper and the automobile would challenge his credulity; the electric light, the subway and the ocean liner would shake his faith in the evidence of his own senses. But I like to think that the su preme measure of his gratified amazement would be evoked by the intellectual accomplishments of the great mass of the people. It | must be remembered that in : Shakespeare's day the gentle arts j| ~;\ of reading and writing were cou- \\ \ \ fined to a very small minority. " ' f v> A yBB Considerable progress had been x H. .. “ made from the dark times when /jA v. . j : K such matters were exclusively in the hands of the monks and scriv- / > J i~ \ JH JHBHLiy eners, but the possession of one or / k both of these graces was still a / > \\ M E mAtVJHr 1 A-sL mark of unusual education and / i scholarly attainment.

When Shakespeare wTote, the cursive script had not yet come into use. Each letter was written separate from its fellows, formed individually and apart, like the type on this page. And so meager was the skill of all hut the most expert penmen that the average chirogra ph y of the period is crabbed and uncouth, somewhat like one'3 sig nature would be if written with the left hand. A Notable Achievement That, it seems to me, is one of the most remarkable achievements of that remarkable Elizabethan age.

G„ in Progressive Farmer. * Beginning housekeeping in the spring of 1921, just after the bottom had fallen out of the cotton market, we did not feel as if we could spend one cent more than we absolutely had to in getting our house ready to • live in. But for the past three years ! I had been a home demonstration agent telling farm wives it was their 1 own fault if they did not have water in their kitchens and a bath, so it was up to me to prove what I said was true. ! Instead of a pitcher pump (the kind most every one in this section uses) we put a force pun\> on the back porch. In the corner directly opposite the pump and up high enough above the work table not to be in the way, we put a sbeif for a 15 gallon vinegar barrel. The sink, costing SB, was then placed at the proper working height with a 1 12-ineli waste pipe (an oM | pump pipe I which carries the water I under the ti,ho- where it connects with another pipe carrying it away; from the house. Now we bored a hole in the vinegar barrel and one through the wall, and, put in one foot of pipe with a spigot over the sink. We connected a piece of .hose to the pump and in four minutes had a two-days' supply of waer in the barrel, besides having an outlet for all waste water except what is rich enough for pig slop. Ail this cost only $lO. But we couldn’t stop here for" this only gave water for the kitchen, and none for the bath. There was no bathroom, or dining room, so when the latter was built we put a six by nin foot bathroom tothe end of it. Rather an old place for a bathroom but the only location that could be conv niently reached with water We got another barrel —a 50-gallon me leases barrel—and placed it onthree strong posts outside the bathroom, covering it well with 10 mesh screen wire. When our $lO galvanized tub, painted white, was in place, we con nected it with the barrel with pipe and spigot. On the back side or the force pump Us a place for attaching a pipe, so we put one on and ran it to the barrel. In 20 minutes we can fill the barrel and since the sun shines «n it most of the day the I Water is a comfortable bath tera | perature moat of the summer. |.

It is not diffi- \k cult to conceive the uses which he would make of the mechanical aids to writing which we enjoy. He would revel in them. And he would revel even more in the rich- ( ness and fullness of the existence which is ours in tho seething plgni- j tude of millions upon millions of j lives acting and reacting uron one another in an intimacy of contact unknown in his day. To his soar-; ing imagination the epic dramas cf j world development, the fabulous j advances of science, tho incredibly ! varied aspects of social organiza tion would direct an irresistible ap i pea!. He would lay his hand upon | them and make them his. ' And I like to believe, further, that only S3O, and every farm woman could have them if she wanted them. Victim of Own Invention. Detroit News. It is a notable fact rtiat the man who built the electric chair died in, it. His name was Charles Justice and he had two weaknesses. One | was a mania for experimenting with . electricity and the other was for steal- I ing. For the latter he served three terms in the Columbus prison, and i while “doing his third'stretch” he de signed and built Pile.chair. This fine piece of work won him a ! pardon from Governor Harmon. But, his liberty Was short-lived. Once outside tile walls of the prison he began to steal, and in one of his thefts he killed a man to cover it up. In July of 1911 he was convicted of first degree murder and October 27th that year he was led to the deuth chair and strapped into the seat ■ j w'hich he had designed for others.

Asheville Times. If there ever was a time when Christianity should be at peace with itself and when it should have the utmost measure of tolerance for di vergent views, it ie the present mo ment. It is a fact universally admitted that the church is losing some of its hold on the people. The simple faith of our fathers does not carry the ap peal to the masses that it once did. The great masses of unchurched tes tify to the fart that organized religion ' must quicken and strengthen its claim* upon the spiritual allegiances of the people. Consequently. the controversies which are raging among Christians are most unfortunate. They divide the fanks of the churchmen at the very moment when their ranks should be closed. They introduce noisy dis putatiousness into a religion whose primary strength is gentlepess and tolerance. Bigotry ha* won few followers .for the Christian religion. It repeals more than it attracts. It diverts attention to the non-essentials while It permits i the true inwardness of Christianity to be minimized. Those who are genuinely interested in the greater hold of Christianity npon all the people can not but re gret these disputes. ‘ They must re alise that these dissensions ate a' source of weakness rather than of strength to the religion definied by the Naaarene. • Women represent about 20 percent ’ of all persons employed in the liberal professions in Germany, Sketch of. the old Fortune Theatre, in London, scene of the production of many dn Elizabethan drama.

Today the. emphasis has passed, and rightly ‘so, to a culti vation of the- manner, in which these rudimentary arts are em ployed. No longer is it a.question: Can you read? Can' you write? One asks instead: What sort of books do you read?- How well do you write? The gauge of n man’s culture qud education lies in the measure of his ability to express himself in speech and writing, clearly, gracefully and with force.

Fanning the Spark To my mind there could be no better guarantee of the intellectual integrity of the race than this widespread and irrepressible ir stijict for self-expression. Mori emphatically I declare it; If there is tlie slightest spark of desire in any man. woman'or child to write, let him write. Encourage the spark in every wav; give it every oppor tunlty to develop to the utmost. Even should this encouragement lead to no tangible results in the form of authorship it will., inject Into that life a new significance and splendor. And at its best it will open the way to a litefary ca reer which may lead to greatness. Shakespeare, born and raised in a country hamlet buried in the green hea*rt of Englapd,, gave ne evidence of literary ability until lie was close upon thirty years of age.
