Persons who think advertising has no

Joaquin Miller, in mis- lecture at Wash
ington, says: "In military England the
soldier gives place to the author and edi-
tor. Here in this country the editor and
author are made subservient to the SOL
der and politician. Ross Browne and
BigeloW, know, by some chance, once
held PLACES, but they were put aside for
the politician. The place of Mr.. Mot
ley, the great historian and author Of so
many large volumes, is still filled by
General Schenck, the author of one
small volume, and that, believe, for
private circulation"

taking 9 Boston lawyer, named Dana,
for Professor James D. Dana, when it
says of his work on C0TGlS and Coral
Islands: " Professor Dana, who is
another Hugh Miller, made his mark
as q writer many years ago, by IIOO
Years Before the Mast The man who
could write thst was clearly marked out
for something better than the life OF an
able bodied seaman; but few who have
risen in life as he has have been able to
turn to such use the lessons of seafaring
life learned in earlier years."

from The Tempest on Shakespesre's

The Gorgeous Palaces,
The Solemn Temples,
The Great Globe ITSELF
Yea all which it inherit
Shall Dissolve
And like the baseless Fabrick of aVision
Leave not a wreck behind"
The proper reading of the latter part OF
the quotation being:
land, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not rack behind"
