of Its weekly meetings.
The name of the Bhakespeare galaxy
were written on slips of paper and drawn
from the pot pourrl Jar which Ethel Moore
had Impetuously emptied of Its crumbling
rose leaves a moment before. And though
there was some dissatisfaction over the
fact that the much coveted role ef Juliet
went to Miss Moore, Cynthia Klrkland was
not numbered among the grumblers, for,
by quite unaccountable appropriateness, the
role of Portia had fallen to her.
It chanced that Cynthia had never seen
"The Merchant of Venice" played, and her
knowledge of the great bard's dramas was

dire catastrophe
Eight o'clock found Miss Klrkland clad
In her prettiest evening frock, a bright
light burning In the front parlor where,
one by one, she would explain the situa
tion to her three suitors. A dim Japanese
lamp shed its tinted rnya through the
gloom of the back parlor where, fnce down
ward, lay the three picture frames, in
struments of fate.
Eight o'clock meant John Blair! And
what would John Blair mean? Just the
strong, brave, rather matter-of-fact friend
he had always meant, or something new,
strance and sweet that the queer, birdlike
fluttering of Cynthia's heart portended?
The five minutes that elapsed between
the faint chiming of the French clock on
the mantelpiece and the louder alarm of
the front door bell were the longest of aB

hands closed and unclosed with nervous,

thought was a very unsettled frame of
mind, for the coppers Invariably said John
Blair, and John Blulr was the least eligible
of the three. v
And what was there In John Blair? the
young woman asked herself impatiently.
Just a well-built, clean-shaven bachelor of
80, with a fair law practice and not the
remotest prospect of becoming a million
aire, for which personage she always felt
herself to be predestined.
Beth Rodman,' on the contrary, was the
wealthiest citizen of South . Webster, the
president of Its largest bank, and had but
recently finished his third term as mayor.
If he was not already a millionaire, he
would certainly become one In the next few
years. But and the little conjunction cap

what romantically inclined girl of 23 could
face such a prospect with equanimity?
Then there was Dick Thlstlcwulte, fresh
from college, enthusiastic1 and evidently,
though perhaps too cheerfully, very much

dreadfully pink and white) After all, could
a. self-respecting woman marry a man
whose complexion was belter than her
own?
, The . average girl may smile over the

not know which of the three men she loved
she did not love any one of them. But she

It was while she was playing In this
comedy of bogus" doubt, to herself ahd a
rather uncomfortable audience of two men,
that Ethel Mnftre came- bark from a visit
to Indianapolis and brought with her the
plans for the Bhakespear? club.
It was. Just an ordinary club where
women meet and talk and read papers and
have rows over the election of officers. It
was to contain as many members nr. thero
were heroines of Shakespeare's plays, and
each member was to study the part of one
of those fortunate or ill-starred linmm of
romance, and give the club the benefit of

"I suffered untold agony with piles for
over three years. Two doctors told me
nothing but an operation would cure me,
I tried different remedies, but nothing did
me any good until I used Pyramid Pile

The experience of this lady ts that of

too many surgeons operate In order that
they may keep thrtr hand tn, and lose no

almost entirely confined to those she had
witnessed upon the stage.
Full fledged member of a Shakespeare
club that she was she was neither very
literary nor very wise, save in the wisdom
of softly crinkling hair and sweet up-curi-ing
lips, and blue ees, in which the
myriad sparkles rose and blended with one
another as they do the middle of a cham
pagne glass. But with the reading of the
casket scene. In which the fair Portia Is
made to select that one of her suitors who
chooses the leaden casket containing her
portrait, came Cynthia Klrkland's great
ider..' Why should not she, the acknowl
edged belle of South Webster, do likewise?
To be sure, no stern parental decree stood
between her and the unhampered choice
of the man she loved. But was she not
young, beautiful as the fair lady of Bel
mont, and troubled with a slml'.ar embar
rassment of suitors?
Thus did the Infertile South Webster
brain adapt the cnnkot idea to modern
conditions. Cynthia Klrkland had read the
casket scene In the morning. Noon found
her parading Jauntily through the street
clad In the freshest of white shirtwaist
ault on picture frames intent.
Beth Rodman, issuing from the swinging
doors of the South Webster Bank of Com
merce, his mind set totth middle-aged In
tentness on the question as to whether he
would let the Iroquois hotel have 15,000 on
second mortgage, let his thoughts slip
momentarily from lucre to love at sight of
the beatlflo vision.
"Where are you going, my pretty maid?"
he asked ponderously. He had asked it in
Just that tone of every pretty woman ho
had met since It had seemed to make a
hit with the first Mrs. Rodman some thirty
yenrs before. He thought it a most grace
full way of opening the conversation. And
in the more, select clcles of South Web
ster conversations were "opened" and
"closed" with as much formality as the
Sunday church servlca or the Monday
shop shutters.
"I am going up to Brownson's to Ijok
at photograph frames. Will you won't you,
come with me and help ma select?"
Distinctly flattered, the banktr said he
would, and right In, the middle of the next
block he took occasion to renew; his pro
posal of marriage.
"You know, Miss Klrkland, how much I
think of you," he said with slaw, delib
erate, Impressive utterance. "I mentioned
that in our conversation of, I believe, Mon
day, the I7th. You said at titat time that
you were still In doubt as .to how much
you were prepared to think of me, but that
you would reflect and gtve.'me an answer
boon." '
"Yes," interrupted the nv-to-date Portia,
briskly, but bew!lderlngl ,"and I am going
to do It. I am buying the picture frame
now you know," she confided in explana
tion, "I am studying the role of Portia for
tomorrow's meeting of our Shakespeare
club. Suppose you -come up this evening
and help me rehenT.e." As she spoke they
had reached Bronpison's. "Do come." she
added. "But. after all, I don't want you
to help me ch'mse the picture frame. I
don't think It -would be quite fair to the
others." Then in response to the look of
dased Inquiry. "Never mind what I mean
now, come dk half-past I."
The seleYVtton of the picture frames was
no easy matter. How could one choose off
hand bet ween the oval of gilt leaves and
the squ'sne one made to Imitate ribbon,
with tr bow knots at top and bottom?
And the oxidised frames? And the wooden
one? I Portia had selected wood In lieu of
the rirsale lead easket, for she wss not a
blln'i classicist, and she had made up her
mlrfl to place the portrait In the sliver,
bfjius rhe knew that all thrre suitors
were familiar with the play and would
'robably choose the wooden one offhand,
ilut the selection was Anally made, and
when she reached home she called up Joha
Blair and Ilcb Thlstlewslte by telephone
and nsked them to call Blair at I and
Thlstlewatte at . She felt that half an

snake his choice, provided, of course (oh,
sew and unsuspected terror!), they didn't

automatic movements, as the stalwart
figure of John Blair made its appearance in
the doorway. She wondered if Portia, had
felt like this.
"Oh, John," she exclaimed impulsively
"I'm so glad you've come!" And uncon
sciously the hand she extended to him
fluttered in his with a slight, caressing
movement.
Blair's facs lighted with the unexpected
warmth of her. welcome. But it turned
serious azaln as she continued: "I want
you to help me rehearse. You know I'm
going to appear as Portia before the
Shakespeare club. I've selected the casket
scene to appear In, the one In which she
has to choose from all her suitors, you
know."
Her birdlike treble waa Interrupted by
the sudden Jingle of the telephone bell in
the back room.
With eyes full of admiration Blair
watched her part the heavy hangings that
separated the two rooms, and, crossing
to the telephone, stand on tiptoe, her lit
tie head tilted carefully to one side and
the roceiver against her ear. And this is
what he heard: ;
"Hello. Dick." ,
"You didn't get my message till now?"
"Why didn't you?"
"No, tomorrow won't do."
"Why can't you come tonight?"
"What engagement?"
"Estelle Moore?"
"You are going to rehearse 'Romeo and
Juliet' with her?"
"Well, upon my word!"
"No, I won't see you tomorrow!"
"If u don't come tonight you needn't
come at all ever again. Do you hear mo?"
And Xilnlr wondered if the man likewise
heart', the emphatic stamp of her slippered
foot as she hung up the receiver without
vunltlng for a reply. V
Her eyes fell on the three picture frames.
She would never speak to Dick Thlstle
watte again 60 there were but two to
choose from now. Which would It be,
Blair or Rodman? Not Rodman; oh, never
Rodman and yet
Five minutes later she Joined 'Tilalr in
the drawing room, her eyes shining
through suppressed tears like dewladen
flowers In the sunshine of early morning.
She had a volume of Shakespeare Id her
hand. Silently she extended this to Blair.
"You are going to hear me my part," she
said, "and read the replies. Yes, you are.
And then you are going to c boose a casket
and If you choose the right one, why why
it will It will all end as it does in the
play." And at the possibility of such an
ending Cynthia blushed.
"You mean," said John Blair Incredulously--"Cynthia,
you don't mean!"
"Yea," she nodded brightly, emphatically,
"Yes, I do mean Just exactly that."
"You would make my happiness or un
happiness the result of chance?" Said Blatr
slowly, "make your love the reward of
gamble? If that's what your love Is like,
I don't want it. I think-I think I'd better
go."
Cynthia stared -at hlra helplessly, Incred
ulously. He waa going, actually going.
And there would be no one but Beth Rod.
man left. Strange, none of Portia's lovers
had declined her terms.
Blair had walked to the center table for
his hat. But before taking it up he turned.
"Do you really mean that, Cynthia?" he
asked. And then something in her desolate
but eteudfast pose moved him to cross to
ward her.
Did . she move likewise? Blatr hardly
knew, but the next moment his arms were
about her and her head rested on his
shoulder.
"Cynthia, do you really mean It?" he re
peated. And then through her tears she smiled
again.
"Won't ypu come and look at them and
see what I mean?"
She drew him toward the Venter table,
where the frames lay exposed for choice.
"Choose the gold one," said Mlsa Klrk
land; "turn It over."
Blslr did. and the face of the pretty girl
at his side waa revealed.
"No, you must not; not yet. Now the
silver one."
Obediently Blair revealed another photo
graph of Mlsa Klrkland.
"Now, the other one," and to Blair's won
derment a third photograph of the modern
Portia smiled Into his eyes.
"You see.' she said, talking rapidly and
fending him away from her as he turned.
"You see, I was afraid after yoa came that
maybe you wouldn't choose the right one,
and so while you were waiting when I
was at the telephone I fixed them so you
couldn't make a mistake. Do do you
mind?"
"Do I mind?" echoed Blair. "Do I mind?"
But apparently he realised that there were
other things than mere words with which
to answer iuch sn Inquiry. Stooping, he
kissed her flushed cheeks, her sweet blue
eyes, her Hps.
And It eras upon this tableau that Setb
Rodman entered, unannounced!
FROM OUR LETTER BOX
J a dare Bears h the Revenae Low.
OMAHA. Oct. .To the Editor of The
Bee: Asking your columns for such a pur
pose, 1 desire to say to the people of the
state a few words .with reference to ttve
revenue bill passed at the last session of
the legislature, both as to why it waa
passed aad-aa to the law Itself.
The prior law had proved inadequate as
to furnishing sufficient Income to meet the
appropriations of the then past sessions.
As a result, Nebraska, with a constitu
tional limitation of tlM.060 as to Its floating
debt, found Itself face to face with ap
proximately $2,300,000 of such debt; and we
of the legislative body knew that by the
end of the session proper items of appro
priation would swell this great indebted
ness still further. So It will be seen that
the most urgent question confronting the
late session was our revenue system.
Prom every quarter of the house and
this might be said of the senate as well
from republican, democrat and populist,
came urgency on this question. The ses
sion being unhampered by the ordinary sen
atorial contest, and which free condition
occurs but once in six years, we also knew
that If remedial legislation was not ef
fected then it would not be had for many
years to come. There waa no thought of
party advantage in the minds of those who
framed the new law, only that this state.
great in population, resources and actual
wealth,, should be placed In the same cate
gory as its prosperous citizens were already
placed in this, that It should be allowed to
take such portion of its property such as
its officers charged with that duty should
conclude on and meet its obligations, past,
present and to be Incurred in the future.
Any Intelligent, prosperous citizen assumes
such attitude, and only foolish Individuals
and communities refuse to assume such
attitude.
Undertaking to act In the matter of reve
nue legislation only because of the urgency
of the situation, a special committee from
the house met with the regular committee
from the senate Jointly.
At first the Intention only was that cer
tain amendments should be made to the
law aa then existing, the Joint committee
realising 'the magnitude of the task, and
fearing; that there was not sufficient time
for the entirely new bill, or revision, even
if desirable. Afterwards by reason of the
fact that the work of amendments was
found to be more than slow, with the
whole of the joint committee around one
table, and from which members were being
called to other di .les, and on their return.
necessitating reiteration of work gone over
in their absence, so that progress proved
lame Indeed; and the further fact that
amendments to a complicated measure are
always dangerous and further, that the
thought had grown on the committee, It
could In the time allotted prepare a new
and more complete measure; and also be
Ueving that with our then effort, revenue
legislation would cease for many years, the
committee, concluded to prepare a new bill.
At such time It was concluded to take
what was known as the Kansas bill as a
basis measure, This was solely because
of what was considered a better and more
orderly arrangement of the several parts,
making It easier to organise for work, and
more satisfactory as a working law, we
hoped.
The basis of the Ksnsas bill had been
the revenue law of the state of Indiana.
At a meeting of the taxing officers, of a
large ntujiber. of states, held at Indianapo
lis during the labors of the Kansas com
mission, and attended by them, aa part
of the memberships preparation for work
on their own bill, part was reported by Its
representatives, as having the most satis
factory revenue law of any of the states
represented. The only feature the delegates
from that state reported, as lacking in
their system, and which they Intended to
recommend to their own legislature for
adoption, was that of county , assessor.
The Kansas bill was the result of a com
missions work, provided for by the legis
lature of Kansas, and at an expense of
10.000.
All revenue laws must have much In
common, and there was much in common
between the Kansas bill and our own law
In force at that time. Where no Improve
ment was found or what we believed to be
Improvement, we kept our old In preference
to what we found In the basic bill. At
the time It was agreed ta. prepare the new
bill Pemberton of Ouge county and Loomls
of Dodgo county were selected to divide
the Joint committee into four parts, and
the basic bill Into a like number of parts
and to assign to each of the subcommit
tees a subportlon of the basic bill. This
was done, and I believe each member of
the Joint committee will bear witness to
his neighbors that within two hours after
the subsrrangement more real progress
had been made than In all of our days
before.
During the time that followed In framing
the new bill I do not think men could work
more harmoniously or diligently, or with
better Intentions for the publlo welfarn,
than did those there associated. There
was no division on party lines and there
was only manifest a desire to prepare a
constitutional bill that would be as com
plete as possible, as fair as possible to a'.I
on whom tl should rest, and that that ail
taxable property should be reached by It
that waa within our Jurisdiction. If such
might be considered any measure of dili
gence as publlo servsnts it might be said
that the members of the committee aver
aged, I believe, fifteen hours a day for
several weeks.
After the bill was reported to the house
efforts were made to change the manner
of taxing railroads from that of their full
value as going concerns to that of value
as represented by the market value of
stocks snd bonds. The same question had
been considered by the Joint committee
and the conclusion reached that the stock
and bond theory was unconstitutional as
a sole basis. We had understood that
there were lines of road In the state that
were simple assets of other roads and
against which there were neither stock
or bonds Issued. In the eommlttee we de
termlned to require extra Information from
the roads to the state taxing board aa to
that called for by the old law and to
require the roads as well as other property
to be assessed at their full value. In the
house an additional feature was added
end going to the limit of con. tit., ,.,..
nd requiring the state board to consider
T.me 01 me stocks snd bonds In r.
riving at the value for aserasment
I snake no pretense that the law fa a per.
feet one. During the time that has elapsed
since Its passage I have concluded that sev
eral changes would be advisable. However,
they are all minor to the great necessity
that I believe is mes-by the provisions that
are present and that I would not change.
I have never valued the measure as highly
as I do now. As Its result we have, I be
lieve, the best revenue system of any of
our western ststes and as good as any. I
know that no partisan or undue Influence,
no hypnotic suggestion, so to speak,
swayed the committee In the bill's prepara
tion, and I have yet to hear from any man
who has become acquainted with the law's
provisions a statement otherwise than. If
It Is properly enforced, all taxpayers will
bear their Just share severally of the public
burden and the state will be furnished
sufficient revenue for the several demanda
upon Its treasury.
If this statement la true no higher words
of our present law, considered as a gen
can be spoken of any revenue law than
era 1 one. I hope that such amendments
as are desirable will be considered calmly
and In the spirit of the state's best Inter
ests. It was In that spirit that the bill was
drawn and passed. It has been many years
since the governors ofthe state commenced
calling attention to this needed legislation.
One serious attempt waa made several years
ago to meet the then newer emergency,
but all prior efforts failed. Republican and
fusion Incumbents of the governor's office
have at different sessions called attention
in their messages te the matter, but never
till the last session, when the floating debt
became too great for further ignoring, waa
the question given major Importance and
pushed to a successful conclusion.
The best efforts of the late session were
exerted on the present revenue law. Every
provision of It was carefully scrutinized
and weighed. It has met the moral as well
as the Judicial approval of the supreme
court, so that the first stages of trial have
been passed. It has placed on the tax
rolls a great deal of property that has not
heretofore borne Its share of taxation. I
suggest and sincerely hope that prejudg
ment be withheld and that the law be
given at least till the next session after
the coming one for reasonabfe trial at the
hands of those charged with its enforce
ment, having full confidence that it will
more than amply reward the people of
Nebraska for their patience.

PARIS. Oct. 8. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The official receiver appointed
to manage the estate of the Carthusian
monks, recently expelled from the Grande
Chartreuse monastery has decided to con
tinue to distil the famoas liquor.
A well known scientist has been com
missioned to analyze the liquor and to
inspect and report upon the distilling plant
of the monastery.
The basis of the liquor is very old
Cognac brandy, of which large quantities
have been found in the distillery since
the expulsion of the monks.
The official receiver Intended to make uso
of It, but he now hesitates to do so after
receiving a letter from the abbot of the
Carthusian order, In which he says that
the brandy Is his private property and that
before leaving the monastery he "dealt
with It as he thought fit."
It Is supposed that the monks have ren
dered the brandy unfit for drinking by mix
ing It with various chemicals. If the offi
cial receiver persists In using It very dis
agreeable results may follow.
