Though Ignatius Donnelly, through the .
wonderful discovery of the Bacon cipher,
may her) proved .t� his ewn satisfaction
that Shakespeare did not write the 'plays
cre'dited to him for three centuries he has
not robbed the bard of 'Avon of literary
honor, for another cipher proves just as
ionelustrely that Shakespeare wrote the
psalms. Of courea this is a joke, but
there is as much evidence to support it
• as•there is to support Donnelly'S theory. .
• In Shakespeare's name lies the key to
•'this wonderful cryptogram.' As Mr. Don-
nelly' says, the spelling "Shakespeare"
was the • poet's nom de plume, while
"Shakespere" was his pame, an evident
change from "Shakespear." In each of
the two spellings last given are ten let-
ters -four vowels and six consonants.
• Combine these two figures, and we have
the number 46, the key to the mystery.
• Turning to the forty-sixth psalm in the
revised version, Itis fotind that the psalm
• Is divided into three portions, each one
ending with "selah.',Remember the
• number -46. •
Counting 46 words from the beginning
of the psalm, one reads the word "shake"
In the first portion, and counting 46 words
from the end of the psalm one reaches
the word "spear." There is -"Shake-
spear" as plainly as letters can make it.
• Now tint to thealidafelsortion of the
psa1inai4,appIy.
To -get thlis average °helical; t� the mid-
dle verse, which is the sixth, as it has
five verses on each side •of it. Observe
the significant 6, the last figure • ot•our
key number.. Now, 6 in Roman lOtterk
is "VI," and so one looks for a word in
the verse that has the letters v and i in
It. There is onlj one -"voice." •
What can be plainer than that it is
Shakespeare's voice tweaking to us from
the psalms? •
Advice to an lialaelty Player.
Tom Higgins used to hey° tt place up
at the head of Lisbon street where the .
tiger ,lashed his tail. The .sounds there-
in were the Maar rustle of the cards,
the „voice of the dealer _saying. „"How
latifir wilt yen have, gentlemen?" and the
forcible ejaculations of the party who
failed to "fill."
One night all the tables were occupied.
• There was a rap on the door. Higgins,
with his quiet indifference to things that
did not interest him, paid no attention to
the rapping. But the man outside was
impatient. He kept knocking.
At last Higgins went to the door, and,
without unlocking it, he cried:
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"I am So-and-so, and I want to get in
and play." •
The man was a notorious loser. Tom
looked aroutid at the group in the room.
Then he turned to the door and said to
the man outside:
"Shove your money under the door and
go away. That will save you 'Imo and
us trouble."

all geneteus men, was very often imposed

obligations to 'him and were continually

nature. A man named Cooper, a clerk in
the banking house of Adams do Co., ap-,
pealed to him M make good a large stun
of money that he had lost play'ag faro
and for which be was liable to be im- ,
prisoned. Chambers paid the money and,
Cooper, being unableor possibly not tir-

'pensioner" of Chambers, never failing
to call for his regular stipend, which was
cheerfully given to him until Chambers
discovered thet'Cooper gambled tnnmon-
ey away and neglected to pay any honest
debts that he could possibly avoid paying.
The next time he called Chambersalaid
to him; "Cooper, I believe' you will play

you any more. But go around to the In-
