AN INDEPENDENT CRITIc.-A
very Independent critic was the poet
laureate ofan ancient Persian Shah.
The latter was himself a poet, and
one day gave lis subject some verses
to read, and askedfor bis opinion Of
them, "May my soul be your sacri-
tice," said the laureate, "they are
bosh." The insulted sovereign ex-
claimed "He is an ass-take him
to the stables" And the order was
literally obeyed. After a short time
His Majesty sent for him again, and
read some more OF his verses. The
poet walked off without word.
"Where are you going?" cried the
Shah. "Just back again to the
stable" cried the undaunted lau-
reate.
