this account, and because my time was
almost entirely taken up by the law

saw good deal, however, of Edmund
Gosse, who Is one of the most polished
and delightful of men, and has always
been very kind to me. His house is a
sort of center, his Sunday evenings being
delightful occasions where one may

Occasionally met him at lunch at his
club, where he would get Austin Dob

Both Dobson and Gosse are directly in
line for the laureateship when it shall
fall vacant, though no one knows who
will get it. 1 am indebted to both of
them for much personal kindness. Gosse
is a good sized, handsome man, of the
blonde English type, with the cheeriest
face and voice, and wherever he goes it
grows warm and comfortable. Dobson
is somewhat older. Both of them strike
me as being among the most cultured

A oueer Mark Going.

A historical curiosity of the oldest
railway in Germany is about to be rele-
gated to oblivion. When the Nurnberg-
Furth line, the first railway on German
soil, replaced the old Thurn and Taxis
yellow post, a yellow stripe was painted
on every car, and for ffty-five years it
has remained unique reminder of the
ante-railway age. The Bavarian gov
ernment, however, has just ordered that
this stripe be painted out, in order that
the Nurnberg- -Furth cars may conform
in appearance with all other railway
cars in Bavaria. Letter.

They say that when Mr.. Depew came

An Autumn Picture.

Eow Mound red roofs stand russet stacks grow;
Homeward from cleaning in the stubbly wheat
High overhead the harsh rook saileth slow
And cupless acorns crackle meath your feet
No breeza. no breath, veereth the oasthouse
hoods,
Whence the faint smoke floats fragrantly away;
And in the distance the half hazy woods
Glow with the barren glory of decay
Vainly the bramble strives to drape the hedge,
Whose leafiess gaps show many empty nest;
The chill pool stagnates round the seeded sedge,
And as the sunset saddens in the west
Funereal mist comes creeping down the dale
And widowed Autumn Ngeeps behind her veil.
