And a small cabin build there of clay and

And live alone in the bee loud glade.
And shall have some peace there, for peace

Dropping from the wells of morning to where

And evening full of the linnet's wings.

ular with Both the Glasses and tho
Masses-The Protege of Gladstone and
the Friend of DisraeIi.
Now that Lord Rosebery is settled as the
successor of Gladstone in the premiership
of the English cabinet and the leadership
OF the Liberal party, discussion has already
begun as to the probable length of his ten
ure of power. 1t is recognized that he is an
unusually young man to be intrusted with
such great responsibility and power Since
the days of the second Pitt no one so young
has been called to the premiership, but that
infant prodigy of ministers was appointed
premier at "a and when he died in 1906, aft
er % years in the harness of office, had just
reached Lord Rosebery's age of a years.
There is no reason why Rosebery may not
attain to as long lease of power, though
there are many things that initiate against
the likelihood eff his doing so. 1t depends
upon his ability to harmonic the discord
ant elements of the Liberal factions and to
conciliate the tickle constituencies when
next they are appealed to, as they soon
must be, on the occasion of a general elec
ton.
Rosebery has had nearly quarter of q
century's experience in public affairs, al
experience far different from that of the
ordinary run of noodles who wear titles and
disgrace more or less honorable names
His first speech of Importance in the house
of lords was made in 1871 at the request oil
Mr. Gladstone, and since then he has beer
heard from there on many important occa

Though he has had a growing literary
reputation in England for 10 years or more

ly unknown in America until the pubiica
ton here of his masterpiece, "A Gentleman
of France" His 1.-The House of the Wolf"
THE New Rector and 1.-The Story of Mr.
Francis Cludde" attained a considera BILE
circulation among English novel readers
and received much commentator from the
| critics, but their success was not great
enough to tempt American publishers TO
venture on republishing them. The New
Rector" is the only one that deals with
modern times 1t is Trollopean story OF
more than ordinary interest, but is handi-
capped by not being in fashionable liter
airy vein.
MIR. Weyman is a bachelor and lives at
the little town of Ludlow, in Shropshire,
where he was born in 1855. His sympathies
are not confined to books, and he retains suf-
fcient of the spirit of the country squire to
ride to hounds and indulge in several other
characteristically English branches of sport.
He is especially fond of boating and spent
last summer on the Thames in a houseboat.
He has travelled little in Spain and south
ern France, is quite familiar with the west
ern Mediterranean and has made a winter
trip to Egypt.
He does not look much like an athlete,
