| LADY GLADYS IN THE MADISON SQUARE
Robert Buchanan is not a concillatory person
He has taken part in so many quarrels. and ha
fallen foul OF so many English penmen that Il car
not be doubted that his temper is slngulariy short
and his utterance customariy explosive. Just nm

contributor 20 newspapers. and the two have ~
many hard things 10 say Of each other ~
| buchanan has been so impatient 10 take offencsE
these many years. and he has been so headsuo1s
and violent in his controversies that he has su'fea
up the most pungent preiuices agans; hinsef On
! both sides OF the Atlantic. Many OF his playa
many OF his verses. many OF his writings OF al
SORTS have been received with the swlf'esf OF
sncers and the severest Of scorn and censure. Ana
yet Robert Buchanan is not altogether outside the
! pale He has intellect enough 10 entte his writings
! and utterances 70 careful attention. His favor's
deiverance may be Scotch invective OF ne
/ most acr!d flavor. and he may use murla'@
acid in preference to ink but he n1
