No. 13 HERE AND THERE IS IT A FARCE? Some time ago the lieense of the Atlantic Hotel was cancelled because of three distinct violations of the law, and convictions for the same. Now oue of the proprietors comes before the License Commission and asks for another License,, on the grounds that he was not to blame but that it was his partner who had violated the law It was pointed out by Com. Findley that tliey, the proprietors, had been offered $30,000 for their business and in his opinion they ( should accept the offer. The mayor pleaded that he had a good 'character and that he, the mayor, had ascertained from the Lieense Victualers' Association that they had pleaded in vain with the partner of the applicant not to sell on Sundays, and in the opinion of the mayor the license should be granted. He was supported in this by Com. Edgett and consequently the License will be issued. Here we have another illustration of the positive absurdity of [the methods used in dealing with the liquor traffic. In this case \ there was the most barefaced farce of tlie law by these men. I According to the reported statements of the License Vituelers they lhad made a common practice of selling liquor on Sundays and three ^consecutive convictions were secured against them, but in spite of all {this, a license is granted on first application. In the name of common sense what are our laws passed for? [Apparently by this, and other actions of the Board, the law is a [sort of foot-ball to be used as a medium of diversion for the Lieense [?Board, the hotel keepers and the License Vituelers Association to \while away au hour or two at their joint monthly love-feasts. We had looked for some definite action from the Board and were led to believe that our hopes would not be disappointed, judging from their actions in the earlier part of the year, but a careful [analysis of the total results of the present Board's administration fails to show anything startling by way of improvement. Many licences have ben suspended or cancelled, but they seem to be like ������he proverbial cat, to have nine lives, for almost invariably the jicencee gets his licence again in some way or other. Another illustration of this is furnished in the same meeting, ie Tulk combination applied some time ago for a licence for pre- lises on Hastings street. It was refused, for reasons, and presumably dropped. Archie Robinson, the ex-Licence Inspector, applied for a licence on Pender street and (to the scandal of the loard, be it said) he got it. He now applies for a transfer to the premises before applied for by the Tulks and this too is granted, tt now transpires that Robinson and Tulk are all one and the same irm or combination. Thus again the Commission are seemingly ������ere tools in the hands of the Licence Vituelers. All we ask is mt the laws be enforced impartially and the public interests pro- :57iy protected���������this is not the case at present. THREE DEATHS JN ONE WEEK. The above is the tribute for .one week demanded by reckless [rivers in Vancouver. Two deaths were caused by vehicular traffic, Tad one by the street cars. I) We print in another column an article by Profpssor Odium which a fearful arraingment of the reckless driver. In regard to the street car accident (?) the coroner's jury retried a verdict that the death was caused by the excessive speed of ie ear. About two.months ago the City Council passed a resolution ailing upon the B. C. Electric Ry. to place adequate fenders on ieir cars. The Company replied that they would equip all their irs within one month with the "Watson Fender." This has not fceh done. Huge freight cars are permitted to traverse our business pre'ets in the most congested hours of the day with only a "cow- itcher" for a fender. It is nothing short of criminal to permit the ���������. C. Electric to continually hurl, defiance in the face of repeatedly cpressed public opinion. The life and convenience of the public are bthing to them, so long as they can extract from the pubile purse revenue. We propose to continue to expose the utter neglect by tis Company just so long as it exists aud will advocate the strongest bssible measures being adopted, if need be, to place this impertinent Micern in its proper place as a public servant. HOSPITAL BYLAW. A Bylaw to purchase land for the purpose of extending the bneral Hospital grounds will be introduced at the next regular feting of the Council. l> There has been much dissatisfaction with the management of hospital as at present constituted. It is claimed that diserim- jtion occurs against the working man and that if he is admitted is unable to pay his way he has to suffer all the indignities of Jpauper. It has been urged by the Trades and -Labor'Council it the City assume the management of the Hospital as a civic 3titution and thus make it a purely public institution. Unless Is is done it is doubtful if the Bylaw will pass "JOE MARTIN." "Fighting Joe Martin" is very much to the fore as usual. He Is the knack, of getting any amount of advertising! In this respect ���������resembles-Teddy" Roosevelt and Jack Johnson. "Joe" has been expatiating on the transparency of the public brals m England and incidentally of the exceeding "muddv" uracter of Canadian politics. "Joe" will always be found ready to "hand out" a blunt opin- on any question and especially on politics. Having received Inewhat the worst end of the deal in Canada he decided to try fi Imperial House and states that he is highly elated, and has fir- attained the height of his ambitions." "Joe" tells us that in England politics are "clean" and "free corporation control," but in somewhat sharp contrast to this ogj ot our fighting hero" comes the statement of Rider Hag- fcL.who has been compelled to abandon his candidacy for election the same house as that in which "Joe" occupies a seat, because lthe exhorbitant cost of an election campaign: Mr. Haggard Ims that unless one is able to secure aid from "headquarters" it [practically impossible for a private individual to finance his own 7'.paign. But, then, of course, we should remember that "Joe" Ipd that m Canada he has been able, by careful economy, to ipe together a competaucy," this no doubt in his case obviates ���������necessity of an appeal to "headquarters." THE GREAT OF IE OCTOPUS ��������� r-^r- ��������� NEW WESTMINSTER AND THE B. C. ELECTRIC. John A. Lee, Mayor of New Westminster, deserves the highest commendation, not only of his own constituents, but of all the residents of the lower mainland, for his fearless stand against the impertinent demands of the "Electric Octopus." Mayor Lee wrote the B. C. Electric the following letter which is self-explanatory: R. H. Sperling, Esq., ���������> \\ General Manager B. C. E. R. Co:, Vancouver, B. C. " Dear Sir���������I have been waiting scry patiently to see what you are going to do in reference to the Millside, Lulu Island and J^M&|f^ line in the City of New Westminster. -1 hardly think that^yoftVan' expect us to keep patience indefinitely in regard to thede malters, as it is imperative that we should have the lines opened at an early date. I do not think that you can find another city on the American continent with as poor a street car service"as New Westminster has. Not on the line you are operating, which is being improved very, but in the general service to the various parts of the city. I will be glad to know what yoii purpose doing, not a general statement, but in a definite premise, if you can possibly do so. Very truly yours, - ' JOHN A. LEE, Mayor. New Westminster, July 16, 1910. <���������" ,> Iii reply to this he received a letter containing the following clause and signed by "F. R. Glover," Assistant Manager." "With reference to the matters referred to Mr. Sperling has had, I believe, one interview with you,.and myself two, and at each of these meetings you were given an assurance that as soon as we were assured that the further development which we are carrying on at Coquitlam Lake will be no longed opposed by Neew Westminster, we will be prepared to begin at once not only with the matters whicii you refer to, but several others of exceedingly great importance to New Westminster. I think' I am quite safe in reiterating this promise." - -" , Mayor Lee could scarcely believe'his eyes, so, in order tliat no mistake should occur, he wrote#again as follows: ' . F. R.

New Westminster, July 20, 1910. This in turn resulted in a letter from Mr. Sperling: His Worship Mayor Lee,- City Hall, New Westminster. Dear Sir,���������Referring to your letter of July 16th, Assistant Manager Glover's acknowledgement of the 18th. and your reply of the 20th, Have to say that while we are ready and anxious to'proceed with various extensions and improvements in and around New Westminster, we feel that pending a friendly settlement of the difference which exists between us regarding our further development at Coquitlam Lake, we would not be justified' in entering upon the very large expenditure which these works will' entail, more, especially as the additional power we are seeking to> develop at Coquitlam iV necessary for the operation of the extensions and new lines you ask, and which we are willing to construct as soon as we are assured of the withdrawal of opposition on the part of tlie citv to the New Coquitlam Dam. " . 7 Inasmuch as under the terms of our agreement' with the Dominion government in the.matter, the very existence of our companv hinges on the maintenance of the purity of the City's water supply, the suggestion that we would do or permit anything which mijrht impair the quality of Coquitlam water, would appear absurd! Our stake m the matter is enormous, and we could not afford to take even the most trifling risk. This, we think, you fully appreciate, and it such is the case, we feel that further opposition in the completion of the work should be withdrawn, and so enable us to give effect to our desire to proceed' with our plans-in and around1 New Westminster^ which mean so much to its future prosperity. Yours very truly* R. H. SPERLING^ Gen. Manager. As intimated in the foregoing communications there is a dispute between the City of New Westminster and the B; C. Electric, regarding the' Coquitlam Dam.. The City claim if will' endanger the water supply if the dam is proceeded with according to present plans. The Company, however, see an opportunity of wielding the big stick" by refusing to make necessary extensions of its service in the city, and expect-in this way to wear out the opposition of the city to its other project. Such tactics are dispicable; and' clearly show tlie depths to which a corporation will descend to attain its ends. The New Westminster Council have decided to send the correspondence to tlie "Directorate" id England" and if it is approved in that quarter then it is suggested that proceedings will be taken to cancel the Company's charter on the grounds of non-fulfilment'of its terms. If the citizens of New Westminster" allow'their mayor to be beaten in this contest for lack of support thev deserve 'to be the victims of corporation greed to the end of the chapter;'- But'we do not think .they will, but on the contrary, will marshall to his support and force this^overbearingyCompanV to deal fairly;. onable that these Companies should do this work at their own costf.. There are a number of agreements extant between these Companies and the City, but as far as we can learn, as yet, these agreements simply serve to tie the hands of the City and give to the Companies/ "carte blanche" powers. That these agreements are not peculiar to past. Councils was.' demonstrated by the introduction, at the meeting referred to, of- -, an agreement with the B. C. Telephone, whereby the city agreed noi 4o ask the Company to remove any of the poles during tike "life*? i' of the said poles. This was giyorously assailed by Aid. Stevens and} 1 .A' ���������flo '> 7^7- '*��������� W1 -ST, Considerable anxiety is still'apparent throughout Western Vuu- ada regarding the crop outlook. Showers of rain recently have to some extent lessened the acuteness ���������of it, and a more optimistic, view is generally taken. J ' ^ ' > . ' The Monetary Times in a leading article sums up the situation' as follows: - , ���������& "This is naturally an uneasy time in business circles, because' the commercial welfare of the Western eountry for another year? depends on.avbatbapf������eii8. bet ween now and September 15th. Jtv may be a question as between a total production of 150.000 000 bushels and one of 100.000,000 bushels, and the difference is an'important consideration. The lines of activity which reflect most sen- sitively the prospects have adopted a waiting attitude for some weeks, and this hesitating position will be maintained for another month. The merchants, M'bolesale and retail, the railway officials the bankers, the manufacturers, and the other elements who shape the policy of what is known as the business world are watching. They do not care to take an advanced attitude, even if the general feeling is one of confidence and hope. The time to take advantage of- the benefits accrusing from a successful erop is approximately that in which the best assurances of a satisfactory return are indicated. There will then be plenty of opportunity in which to rejoice and to plunge. The steadying influences represented in the men"holding the" reins of credit are sufficient to keep the situation always in check and to supress the boomster.'' ' ���������vv V f k ��������� h��������� '^ *������,V MIXED FARMING. The exclusive "wheat" production, which is characteristic of, the Prairie section, must sooner or later give place to "mixed farm--t ing." This subject is being kept constantly before the farmers by the "Nor'west Farmer" in many able articles on the advantages of mixed farming. Its chief advantage being, that in case of o crop failure the farmer still has his stock and dairy products to fall back on. It will also lead to more scientific cultivation, which in turn must result in increased production. All this will tend to relieve the awful tension placed upon the.farmer as he watches his wheat, constantly fearing drought, frost, or heat winds, which Mould completely wipe out his year's work. Then, again, the vast areas for stock raising are rapidly becoming settled up and the consequence is that there is a growing.demand for the "stall fed" beef. This department.of Western farming will undoubtedly become a very profitable and popular-one, and must of necessity work quite a revolution in the methods of the Western farmer. * * * ��������� CHILD LABOR. , A special committee of the British Government has just completed an exhaustive investigation of the practice of "street trading" by children, and in its report urges that all such trading by-children be absolutely prohibited by law. The committee found that the life of a child "street trader" was of such a character that it inevitably led to immorality and crime. In-the. case of boys it developed gambling and vagrancy. In the case of girls it invariably led to a life of immorality and shame. That England is awakening to the grave responsibility which rests upon her ind ealing with the social conditions of her great centers is indeed a good sign. " 7 In British Columbia we also have our "child labor" problem. In many of the coal mining towns of the interior young children are allowed to work underground.. Our laws actually permit the use of children in mines where the coal seam is too small to be worked by adults. Just think for a moment of a lad 12 or 13 vears of age working down in the bowels of the earth, in a narrow" contracted space, digging out coal, and this with the specific permission of our Jaws. The situation is diabolical. The whole practice of child labor is a violation of the laws of nature and the penalty will have to be paid in the form of a weakened and deteriorated race. But the cold, selfish spirit of commercialism demands the sacrifice of these innocent young lives to swell the "Dividends," and this is the basis of all commercial morality. ��������� ~-r������ 4 ~"MTI^������H m^gggfmfm< m P������f������������IIW "~-~ THE WESTERN CAU* YANCOUVBR.

DEATH SPEEDERS. To see_ many of the automobiles rushing through the streets of Vancouver, as too often they do, is to wonder what the "lightning chauffeurs" have in mind. How few acidents happen is one of the marvels of the age. 7 .������������������. .'���������':-. .������������������..-.7 There is real pleasure: in. watching an automobile gliding about the steeets, carying people who are not speed mad. Personally I am an admirer of this new up-tc-date vehicle, and so profound is , my admiration, that frequently I fund myself standing watching these splendid and most commodious machine's transporting their living freight, in 'a manner so charming and attractive as to set me into a study of my purse and the cost of purchasing one of these carriages. But just then some thoughtless person, or some light-headed fool comes along on a mad rush, as if on a chase from impending danger. Then my blood boils and 1 would like to use "the club" on the driver. At times I do take down the number for the purpose of giving information, but so far I have always relented, and let the trespasser go free. To my mind the man who rushes through a thoroughfare at a mad rate, as often happens, has in him the thoughtless spirit and carelessness of the brute who would laugh at maiming or killing a human being, were he sure that punishment would not reach him. An automobile speeder on a city street, or a driver of any other vehicle who rushes along at high speed deserves general despisement, for he publishes by his lunatic-like act that he has a heartless nature and holds human life cheap indeed. Daily one may see certain drivers driving along at a rate far beyond safety, and passing" cross strets, not knowing that there may be such another mad-cap rushing at similar speed on the street at right angles, in which case it is difficult to avoid an accident. The man who prfcrms such an act in a populous city whr au- tomobils ar gliding along all th inner streets, should not be^ermitted to drive one of these vehicles. Not long since I saw two autos run into each other, as they, out of sight, came rushing; towards a common point, along two streets at right angles. Had it not been fcra timely third incident that changed the there would have been an awful acci- all or some of seven persons who were in these ying carriages. The abuse of the streets^ the endangering of human life, the heart- and the positive ignorance of others, make it' necessary to tighten the regulations that look towards public safety. Themen who know how to move about the streets in a wise, careful and obliging manner are numerous, and are increasing in numbers. With their assistance an effective weeding out process of the fool chauffeurs might be accomplished, and great safety be secured to the public generally. One does not care to make such laws as will bear heavily on reasonable and careful drivers and owners, but the public must find a sufficient protection against the death-speeders. No^man,^from���������thL3^ojg^ A^ mitted to act as a profesisonal driver without having passed a previous examination. If these careles men cannot learn to improve, then their right to drive might be made to depend upon bonds put up by a bona fide guarantee company, in addition to passing an examination. E. ODLUM.

Poaching was then regarded, except by the victims of it. as a venial offense. Of the first six or seven years of his life ia London we have no definite information. The tradition, that he first found employment in holding horses at the door of the Theater is not improbable; but he soon got inside the Theatre ��������� in a menial capacity as "prompter's attendant." tradition says. ��������� and later became an actor and began his literary career by revising old plays for a new lease of life on tne stage. The earliest mention ot him in London (1592) Is a satirical one hi a pamphlet by a disappointed and dyins playwright, Robert Greene. Early iu the very next year (159:.) Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis" appeared, and in 1594 his "Lucrece," both of which were extremely popular, nip- idly passing through many editions. His earliest original plays ��������� as distinguished from mere revisions ��������� also began to appear, and he became famous as dramatist no less than poet. Honors came to htm from men of rank ��������� .the Earl of Southampton, to whom his two poems had been dedicated ��������� and from Elizabeth, before whom h3 acted at court In December, 1594, nnd often afterward. Fortune accompanied fame, and he soon became a rich man. In the spring of 1597 he made his first investment ir real estate by the purchase of New Place, the best mansion in Stratford, with nearly an acre of land in the centre of the town. Sir Hugh Cloppton, for whom It was built, referred to ir, as his "great house", a title by which It was popularly known for more than two centuries. Shakespeare improved It, and it was doubtless occupied by his family before he returned to share it with them ��������� probably as early as loll. Previous to that time, according to rra, ditlon, he visited Stratford every year. He must have-been'there at the death of his son Hamnet In August, 1596, ind probably -when his father died id September, 1601, and his mother In 1608; also at the marriage of his daughte 1616, his widow undoubtedly continued to make her home at New Place with the Halls, who are referred to in town records as living there in 1617. The house had been devised by will to Susanna, and the household furniture, etc., to her and her husband. After the death of Doctor Hall in 1635, his NOTICE.

The estate continued in tUe family until the death of the poet's last descendant, Lady Barnard, ii 1670. The only reference that Shakespeare made in this will to his wife is the interlined bequest of his "second-best bed with the furniture" thereof; and this has been repeatedly and strenuously dwelt upon by those who believe that they were unhappy in their conjugal relations as indisputable proof of that theory. Indeed, it is the single fact in their family history which at first sight seems to support that mistaken contention; but in view of other well-established facts, it furnishes reclsive evidence to the contrary. In the first place, Mistress Shakespeare was amply provided for by her rights of dow erin the estate, to which, j as proved by an examination of hun-J dreds of wills of that time, no refer-/ ence Is made in. many such documents. On the other hand, bequests of beds and personal articles of leBS value- kettles, chairs, gowns, hats, pewter pewter cups, and the like���������are often made as marks of affection. One John Shakespeare, of Budforth, near Warwick, leaves his father-in-law his "best booots" as a sufficient token of respect. The younger Sir Thomas Lucy, in 1600, gives' his son Richard his "second-best horse and furniture.*' Bartholomew Hathaway, Anne's brother, in 1621 gives his son Thomas his "second-best pott." John Harris, -a notary of Lincoln, while leaving his wife a freehold estate, specifies in addition, "the standing bedstead in the little chamber, with the second-best feather bed with a whole furniture thereto belonging." The first-best bed was the one reserved for visitors, and was often regarded as a family heirloom. Shakespeare's "second-best bed" was doubtless the one in their own chamber, and the gift of it was a token of tender affection.

He bad apparently been in falling health in January, 1616, and the rough draft of the will is dated January 25th of that year, but two months later, when he was attacked by the fever that carried bim off, the "January" was crossed out and "March" substituted. Tbe "25th" was left���������perhaps through carelessness, although it may have happened to be the right date. Later he grew worse, and bis lawyer, Francis Collins, was hastily summoned from Warwick. A Hatty Testament. It is not though advisable to wait for a regular transcript of tbe original draft, and the three sheets of ordinary paper, after a few^ alterations hur- py one. Transient alienation, as In many of the happiest unions, there may have been, although we have no proof of It. Admitting that such there was, the main question to my thinking, is absolutely settled by indisputable facts to which I have already referred ��������� particularly the fact, that Shakespeare, notwithstanding all the attractions of tbe metropolis. ��������� began, as soon as his success brought him wealth, to invest It In making a home for his family and himself ln the little provincial town of his birth. This was no transient whim or fancy, but the aim. that he steadily kept in view from the time he bought New Place in 1597 ��������� and doubtless much earllei*. while he was earning and saving the money for that Investment ��������� to the time, fourteen years later, when, after adding to his real estate, buying the tithes of Stratford and neighboring parishes, and otherwise indent if y- ing himself with local interests, he finally.settled there for the remainder of his life. Can we imagine that he looked forward to sharing that home with a wife whom he did not love? His father and mother and bis only son were dead, his elder daughter was married and settled In a home of her own. His wife and his daughter Judith ��������� then 26 years old and liable to marry soon ��������� were to be his only companions in New Place. He was only forty seven, apparently in good health, and likely to live at least as long as his wife did ��������� which, as we have seen, was until 1623. As It was, they were permitted - to spend but five years together, but I believe they were years of unalloyed domestic happiness. Mrs. Shakespeare was a Puritan, as her daughter Susanna and Dr. Hall also were, but there Is no reason to suppose that the fact seriously troubled Shakespeare. j te liiT& Heatiug tt.

Some awrward repitltlons and other inaccuracies had been crossed out,, one small bequest bad been transferred to another person, while several for other friends had been Interlined, together with the one to his wife. One alteration strikingly illustrates the haste and carelessness in.writing the will. The paragraph concerning his luaghter Judith���������who" was married on February 10th, after the draft was begun in January���������began thus: "Item, I gyve and bequeath unto my sonne in L"; but "sonne in L" was crossed out, and "daughter Judy th" substituted; and "in discharge of her marriage por- cion" was Interlined further on. 80 far as I am aware, this has not been noted In any former comments on the will. In spite of Its informalities and defects, including the absence of the testator's seal���������the word "seale" being crossel out, and "hand" interlined in the rloslng sentence, "I have hereunto probated, and is still preserved in the registry in London. ^ Such is briefly the history ofthe very last writing to which the dramatist affixed his signature with the trembling band of a dying man; and the very last addition made to it���������a few yines before the end���������has been interpreted as a deliberate and unfeeling attempt to disgrace the mother of his children! Of Anne Shakespeare we know nothing except the bare facts of her marriage and her death. Tradition says that she earnestly desired to be buried in the same grave with her husband, and her tombstone is beside bis.

The wedding appears to have been hastened on account of Shakespeare's failing health, as it took place without a license, for which irregularity the couple a few weeks later were fined and threatened with excommunication by the ecclesiastical court at Worcester. There is no reason to suspect any opposition to the match on the part of the Quiney family, and the draft of Shakespeare's will made about a fortnight before the marriage proves that he then regarded young Quiney as a prospective son-in-law. The pair had three children: Shakespeare, baptised ary, 1639; Thomas, baptized Janu'j 23, 1620, who died in January, 14 Neither Richard nor Thomas were: ried.

Ballard 1024 Westminster Ave. THE CONTROL OF DISEASE It is well sometimes to pause and take bearings with regard to the problems of health and sickness. With the many wonderful discoveries, the serums, the immunities and the improved knowledge of h>giene, what is the situation to-day? There are plenty cf statistics which, although they cannot lie, do not always tell the truth. It is kaouu that although many diseases are v\ ii ed out, and many others doomed to extinction at a near day, theie aie other disordeis ominously on the increase. Typhoid fever, one of the most dreaded of physical ills, is now positively known to be due to polluted drinking water, or milk, or other food, or to be spread from house to house through the agency cf the fly, and its days are numbered. Yellow fever and malaria,are no longer reg-ided as visitations of the will of >-^eiven, but are recognized as due io t.ie visitations of mosquitoes; and it is not really necessary to have those mosquitoes, although it may take some time and hard work to get rid of them. Diptheria still rears its head, but it is no longer formidable, since the antitox.a ior it has been found. Tubeiculocia is still all too common, ,ind the desiim .������.,������ of it will ^mean coil and care for humanity for years to come, but the work is well undei way. The great start was made wh^.. .his dread disease was moved by common scientific consent from the "fatal" to the "curable" class. When this has once been done in regard to any human ill, it is then for humanity to take care of itself. ^ Those nations that are willing to spend the most money and take the most pains to wipe out disease are coming out first in the race. Great cities have learned the lesson that it pays them to take care of the health of their populations. It is much tot expensive to permit unnecesary sickness. Clean water pays, clean streets pay, decent housing for the poor pays The boards of health are doing much in thece directions and in many ctiiers, and as time goes on'they will do more. As people are educated in these matters they will be willing and able to give more and wiser co-operation. It is safe to prophesy that the day. is coming when people will refuse to put up with preventable nuisances.^ and when the house-fly, the mosquito and the rat will be extinct; and when, if people want to know anything about tuberculosis, they will have to read about it in books.���������Exchange. until 1662, having attained the ripe age of seventy-seven. William Black, in his novel, "Judith Shakespeare," a noteworthy study of the life of the period, assumes that the lady could not write, and she made her mark in signing two documents in 1611; but autographs of her sister, Mrs Hall, are e\tant. John Shakespeare was an expert accountant, but whether he could write is a disputed question. Like his wife and many of his fellow officers in the town, he usually made' his mark, but Sidney Lee, in his "Life of Shakespeare," asserts (without citing it) that there is good evidence in the records of his ability to write. That few women in common life learned to w rite is certain. There were no free schools for girls, and writing was not generally taught In the grammar schools. Ink, parchment, and .the thick paper sometimes used instead, were too costly for ordinary use. Postal facilities were in'their infancy and very expensive. The greater part of leg-*I and official writing wdB done by prciessional scriveners. Dr. John Hall, who has been treated very slightly, if slightingly by the biographers, was one of the most eminent physicians of his day. He was a master of arts, had travelled on the Continent, and had te come proficient in the French Ian guage. After his death, his ined'ea) case-book, written in Latin, was translated and published in London (16^7); and reprinted in 1670 and 1683. Elizabeth, the only child o'f the Halls, baptized on February 21, 160?, was married in 1626 to Thomas Nash,, a well-to-do resident of Stratford. He died in 1647, and two years later she married Sir John Barnard of Abing- ton Manor, near Northampton. She had no children by either husbanu, and was therefore the last lineal descendant of the poet. She died and was buried at Abington, in Februarv, 1670; but no monument was erected to her memory until 1902, when a tab let was placed in Abington Church bj Mr. Stanley Cooper of Oxford. It is absolutely certain that .William Shakespcire"s own family line thus came to an end in the third genera, tion; and none of his brothers or sis ters are known to have had any children, with the single exception of Joan (baptized April 15, 1569), who married William Hart, and survived her famous brother thirty years, dying In 1646. She had-three sons, whe lived to be remembered in .the poet's will, and a daughter who died Ie 1607, when four years old.

This is somewhat of a contrast to the ruthless slaughter on American and Canadian roads, where the traffic is nothing like so congested.

That John Bull has no notion of relinquishing his title to. "commercial supremacy of the seas" is amply, demonstratedIiy the report of Lloyds shipbuilding returns for the quarter, ending June 30, which show that there were 394 vessels, excluding warships, under construction, with a gross tonnage of 1.118.587.371 being steamers and twenty-three sailing ships.
