The ladies of the M. E. society have the arrangements in charge and are now prepared to give as- surance that children’s day will be observed in Cohasset in a manner that will make it memorable. May 12, the official day for obser- vance in behalf of the children, was passed because of the preva- lence of measles in the village. However, the delay will serve to make the event more pleasureable than it otherwise would have been.

The traditional Hamlet of our stage is a lean, ascetic young person, an idealized, etherealized. heroic creature evolved for the delectation of the mati- nee girl. He is a horrid sham. Is it | eredible that such a man would have lacked the determination, the purpose- fulness, to put his revenge into opera- | tion pat upon the discovery? It is all very well to argue about his mental balance. It was his sluggish liver that stayed him and hampered him. Hamlet's father was a fat and lethar- gic man by his own account. Sleeping within my orchard, My custom always of the afternoon, he says in his ghostly ag Nin We may then look for ie clew to Hamlet’s character as soon as he is alone on the stage. What are his | words? Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt! It is a keynote that may not be glossed over as a beautiful thought, for the same idea bursts out some lines farther on, where he says of the world: Things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. Is it credible that such thoughts are there for any purpose save to guide us as to the nature of this prince? They serve a double purpose: Not age lo_we learn t thet Dos a Hamlet was » but as th that ieee ‘was an un- happy fat man. Hamlet was a man to whom his bulk was an affliction. He was handicapped by it and knew that he was. Some such idea is discernible gp every. one of the great soliloquies. e scorns himself for a sluggard: What is a man nN, If his chief good and market of his tim Be but to sleep and feed? His mind, unhinged or not. is ob- 'g@ssed by fatness, and in the mad tur- moil of emotions after he has slain ; Polonius his thoughts run; We fat all creatures else to fat us, and We fat ourselves for maggots. It bursts out again in the “Oh, what ‘a rogue and peasant slave!” harangue. Ere this I should have fatted all the region’s kites With this slave's offal. And who but a fat, lethargic man would have said in the “To be or not to be” speech: Who would fardels bear To grunt and sweat under a weary life.

Major Bourke, as aid to General Crook, once showed himself an effective | Peacemaker. He persuaded a band of ' Apaches to go back to their reservation by presenting a doll to a papoose. The incident was as follows: General Crook had been trying to put i these Apaches back on the reserve, but ‘could not catch them without killing them, an action that did not appeal to him. One day his forces captured a papoose and took her to the fort. She was quiet all day, but her black eyes | watched everything. When night came | the child broke down and sobbed just as any white youngster might. The fort was in despair until Major Bourke had an idea. Foom the adju- , tant’s wife he borrowed a doll that had ‘come to her little girl the previous Christmas. When the young Apache nderstood that it was hers to keep er sobs ceased and she fell asleep. ‘When morning came the doll was clasped tightly in her arms.

Captain John Gray died in a few hours from his injuries, Lad&erman Frank Kanesky was akmost instantly killed and eight others were injured in a fire which gutted the North Side high school at Minneapolis. Fifty firemen were in imminent dan- ger when a wall of the old main build- ing fell. Fire Chief Charles W. Ring- er, Assistant Chief Sandy Hamilton, District Chief Edward Thielen and twenty-five firemen escaped the fall- ing wall by running from beneath it into the burning building. Twenty- five other firemen ran back from the wall, but ten of them were caught. Only the heroic work of rescuers, who dug with bare hands into the fiery, bricks and concrete, prevented the death of the men who were buried beneath the tons of debris. The firemen were seeking to gain a vantage point from a porch when the walls fell, trapping them all. The en- trapped men remained under the de- bris of the fallen walls for more than an hour, their comrades forsaking the fire to assist in the work of rescue. MOVED TO ST. PAUL IN 1849 Mrs. Anna Acker Rice Dies at an Ad- vanced Age. Mrs. Anna Acker Rice, widow of Hon. Edmund Rice, at one time mayor of St. Paul and congressman from Minnesota, who has been seri- ously ill at her home in St. Paul for two weeks, is dead.

One-third of the $3,000,000 estate in Minnesota left by Mrs. Mary M. Owsley will go to her husband, Dr. James Owsley of Duluth, according to an opinion handed down by the supreme court.

The entire estate is valued at $8,000,000, of which $3,000,- 000 is located in Minnesota. Dr. Owsley refused to accept his share as provided by the will and, brought suit to obtain a one-third in- | terest in the Minnesota property to, which the surviving spouse is entitled under the state law.
