P EOr As the date for the State convention of | the California Miners' Association, whic begins next Monday, approaches, new ideas are appearing in the fleld and f creasing the promise of an interesting and important gatherl One plan which is being incubated by | eral members and which will undoubt- y be urged before the convention is that of enlarging the scope of the work of the big association in the State and mak- |{ing it a larger and more con- stant force in the mining field | by establishing permanent headquarters which shall be more than an office with a sign on the door announcing the secre- tary's place of business and which shail be to the mining industry something like | what the State Board of Trade has been to the interests of agriculture and horti- culture. Many leading and active mem- bers of the association have long recog: nized the need and opportunity for this. It is proposed by some of the enterpris- ing ones that a bureau be established and maintained by the association which shall | be first and foremost a burecau of live in- | formation concerning the mining industry | in California_and also a place.at which mining men of all parts of tne State would | drop In when they come to the city, as they do daily by the scores. There should | be a reading room and library, supplled | with all the mining and State journals, an | accumulation of the latest mining maps | and works of mining reference, and possi- | bly the beginning of a mining exhibit. It | should be a *place for pointers” for min- ing men. Secretary Benjamin has _well | suggested that there might be a free State register of practical mining men of all grades, from drill men ‘lU assaye , etc., which would instantly s any employer, at | the association’ se, with the names | and references of men of the kind wanted. | There are almost numberless ways in| which such a bureau might be made of | great value to the industry and a credit to | | the %000 members of the booming ocia tion. Such an Institution would suppl ment and not conflict with or detract from | but rather assist the State Mining bureau, | | whose functions are limited. There thus | | appears the possibility of what would be | | practically a new and important State in-l | stitution. | “Some people wiil propose that some lead- | ing bank be made the treasurer this year. | The badges which will be worn by t delegates will be handsome ones, consist- ing of a pan, pendant from a crossed pick | and shovel.

The King of Navarre, “the sole inher- itor of all perfections that a man may own,” has made a vow that Till painful study shall outwear three years, No woman may approach his silent court. Three gentlemen of the King's court have sworn that “for the three years' term’ they will “live with him as his fel- low schola One article of the vow or | oath reads as follows: | Item, if any man be seen to talk with a wo- man within the term of three vears he shall endure such public shame as the rest of the court can pessibly devise. Presently there comes to Navarre, in- | tending to visit the court of the King, the noble and beautiful Princess of France, attended by three noble and beautiful ladies. The Princess is upon an embassy | for ber father, the King of France, who Is old, feeble and ill. The King of Navarre and his taree courtiers-are dismayed. They do not wish to be unkin@, nor do they wish to deny themselves the happiness of meeting these noblé and beautiful ladies. And yet they do not wish to be forsworn of their oath. Finally, since necessity knows no law, | they agree to be forsworn of their oath this much: They will meet the Princess and her train without the precincts of the court; but the ladies are not to be admit- ted within the precincts. When the meeting takes piace the King and his three courtiers fall in love with the Princess and her three ladies respec- tively. But for shame’s sake they will not confess their loves to one another. In the end, however, through a series of mis- adventures, they become acquainted with their common predicament and they unite upon a common plan to obtain the favor of their loved ones. The Princess and her ladies also find out about the gentlemen's predicament and determine to have some merriment over the affair. So when the King and { and ladies dominate the s additions that Shakespeare made to the play in 1597. The characters of Rosaline and -Berowne must have been strength- ened, and it is possible that the figure of the pedant schoolmaster was <dded as & companion piece to the pedant curate of the first sketch. Points of Special Interest. In spite of what has been said above as to the comparative lack of interest of this play for the general reader, there are few comedies of Shakespeare's that will better repay a ciose and sympathetic study than “Love's Labor's Lost.” It is a play of beginnings, and we may see in it the art of Shakespeare in the germ, or rather in a bud just unfoldipg, sweet in itself, and full of glorious promise. It is a play of youth; t young king, the young princess, the young amorous lords enes. And in the flash and parry of the weapons of young wit we catch the mind of the young poet. And it is a play in which the personality of the author shines out through the thin veil of the hero, and we see, if not exactly Shakespeare himself, Shakespeare as he wished himself to ap- pear in the eyes of his mistress. Shakespeare’s Art in the Play. The dramatic art shown in the con- struction of the plot is of the very slight- est. The story, drawn no one knows whence, is a mere peg on which to hang a spangled robe of wit and poetry. A King of Navarre decides to turn his court into a little Academe. He and his fol- lowers take vows to study hard, to sleep little, to fast often and above all to shun the society of women, In order that they may drink deep of the delights of learn- ing and earn in their lives the fame that shall “live registered upon their brazen tombs.” But the best laid schemes, even of a studious King and his bookmates, “gang aft agley.” A Princess of France comes upon the scene with her ladies, as an ambassadress from her old father. Of mere necessity the late-made vows are THE STREET IN WHICH his courtiers, in the disguise of EIUECO-’ vites, visit the Prificess and her ladies the Princess and her ladies also disguise themselves. The result is that every one | of the four gentlemen makes love to the | wrong lady. When subsequently the gentlemen visit | the ladies in their proper gulse and again | declare their loves the ladies mercilessly | laugh at them for their former blunders. | In the end, however, the lovers are all accepted, but only on condition of each doing a year's penance, as, for example, | retreating To some folorn and naked hermitage— | this not only because of the broken oaths | but also to show that their love is lasting. | Note—Read the play before reading any of the studies which follow. Note Dr. Cook’s direc: s, as published im The Call on Monday. A Neglected Comedy. * “Love's Labor's Lost” is perhaps the | least read of Shakespeare's comedies; and | for this neglect it i{s easy to assign a reason. The play, probably Shakespeare’s first attempt in independent dramatic composition, is, on the surface at least, of a quite different character from his other comedies. While these deal with the lasting attributes of human nature and find their humor in the perennially ridiculous aspects of men’s character, “Love's Labor’s Lost" 1s a satiric fling at contemporary follies and provokes laugh- ter by its caricatures of figures and fashions well known to its first hearers, | but as forgotten to the average reader of | to-day as the heroes who lived before Agamemnon. Just as “Patience” some yvears back swept over England and America in a peal of merry mocking laughter, but has already passed away into the dark backward and abysm of | time, so this play of Shakespeare's, which once set the pit of the Blackfriars theater roaring and sweetly commended itself to the fancr of good Queen Bess and the learning of wise King James, Is now to all intents dead past hape of resurrection from the shelves of the library to the boards of the stage. The allusions to the fantastic Monarcho, to the dancing horse, to the last fashionable licentious poem, | all ring hollow to-day, and when Shakes- | peare’s merry gentlemen belabor the long- | forgotten fashion of pedantic and affected | speech the reader is inclined to cry with Armado: “The sweet war man is dead and rotten; sweet chucks, beat not the bones of the dead.” And yet for the student of Shakespeare | “Love's Labor's Lost” has a peculiar in- terest. It was the special favorite of the | young Goethe and his circle of Shakes- | peare worshipers at Strasburg. Schlegel, the great champion of the romantic school in Germany, spoke of it as a model | comedy of the finest wit and the most | delightful mirth. Nor has it been without | honor in his own country. Coleridge says: | “If this juvenile drama had been the only one extant of our Shakespeare, and we possessed the tradition only of his riper works, how many of Shakespeare's char- acteristic features might we not still have discovered, though as in @ portrait of him taken in his boyhood.” Charles Lamb | loved it as the comedy of leisure, “most nonsense, best sense’’; and Pater has de- voted to it one of the most charming or his charming appreciations. Histo~y of the Play. | All critics agree that “Love's Labor's Lost” is one of the earliest of Shakes- peare’s plays, and some of the highest authorities rank it as his first independ- | | ent work. General consent puts the date | ‘We need not trouble ourselves When we know that we have in “Love's Labor's Lost” one of the earliest if not the very first of | Shakespeare’s creations in the fleld of | poetic comedy we know enough. The statement that it is one of his earliest creations applies, however, only to the first draft of “Love’s Labor's Lost" and not to the drama as it lies before us to-day. On the title page of the first edition, a quarto, published in 1559, we read: and 1502. ! “A Pleasant Conceited Comedie Called Loves labors lost. Newly corrected and augmented by W. Shakespeare.” “Newly corrected and augmented”—for when her graclous majesty deigned to cast the radlant beams of her favor upon the young dramatist, whose wit, pathos and sentiment were packing the play- houses in the suburbs, and commanded a performance of his popular dramatic satire for the entertainment of her court on Christmas day, it was not for him to | | be retouched and decked out with such ornament of ringing verse as the author of “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Mer- chant of Venice” had at his command. It is not hard to discover some of the | lost. Could any plot be lighter, | of the sentence, at once a SHAKESPEARE LIVED. broken. The King and his lords enter into parley with the Princess and her la- | dies, and no sooner enter into parley than they fall in love, and no sooner fall in love than they begin to woo their mis- tresses. The ladies, not ignorant of the vow rashly made and quickly broken, re- pay their court with merry scorn, till at the close a graver note strikes across the silver laughter, as a messenger announces the death of the King of France. The Princess retires to a year's sofourn i a mourning house, and for a twelve months’ space the lovers must wait for their answer. “Our wooing doth not end like an old play,” says the irrepressible Berowne, with half a sigh for the pen- alty assigned him. “Jack hath not JilL' And £o for the vear at least love's 1-bor's slighter, brighter? Even in the character drawing we ace the prentice hand, not without promise, indeed, of greater things to come, but still the prentice hand. The King and the Princess are graceful but shadow figures. There is not a hair to choose between Longaville and Dumain, or between Kath- erine and Maria. Even the humorous per- sons of the play—Armado, Holofernes, Costard—follow along lines strictly laid down fn the old comedy—the braggart, the pedant and the clown—as, | sometimes called in the rst edition. But if any one wishes to see how much of the wine of wit St peare has poured into these old bottles, one has but to compara Armade with his prototype, Sir Tophas in Lilly’s “Endymion.” Only in the figur of Berowne and Rosaline, where the prer tice hand has been reinforced by the mas- ter’s touch, do we feel ourselves in tk presence of a pair of Shakespeare's men and women, so much more alive than the crowds that go about the sticet and make as though they lived. Berowne, in especial, is a masterpiece. His ready wit, his firm hold on the facts of life, his unquenchable good Lumor, mark him as one of the characters that Shakespeare loved. He subscribes the oath presented by the King with a laughing protest against its ideality. He falls in love and jests at his own foll. “What, I! I love! I sue! With what good-humor 2 upbrald: his felows when Ht]hgiie “z?fask?fi VOws came to light: with what easy grace does he confess the fact when his own love-caused perjury is revealed. How elo- quently he defends the oath-breaking of the little band of lovers and extols its cause: From woman's eyed this d.

Dr. Brandes sees in Rosaline and Be- rowne the first sketch of Beatrice and Benedick, and there is a certain similarity in the situation. But when we hear Rosa- line exulting over her lover's plight and promising herself all the joys of a pretty | tyranny—"This same Berowne L'll tortury ere I go''—we are irresistibly reminded ot a gentler lady than Beatrice and a wittier maid than Rosaline herself, the pretty page of the forest of Arden, who led Or- lando through such a mad cure for the madness 0 love, being ‘‘effeminate, changeable, longing and liking; proud, fantastical, apish, shallow, inconstant, full of tears. full of smiles, for every passion something, and for no passion truly anything.” The dawn of Rosaline i3 the promise of Rosalind.
