SHAKESPEARE IN LONDON.
He Was Known by Everybody He
Knew All the NotabIes.

He Was Known by Everybody He
Knew An the NotabIes.
Shakespeare's London was a small
city OF from 100000 to 100000 souls,
or about the size OF Providence or
Minneapolis at the present time, says
the Atlantic. In cities of such size
everybody of the slightest eminence
Is known all over town, and such per-
sons are sure to be more or less ac-
Quainted with one another; it lis
very rare exception when 1t is not so.
Before his thirtieth year Shakespeare
was well known in London as an ac-
tor, writer of plays and the manager
of a prominent theater. In that year
Spenser, In his "Colin Clout's Como
Home Again." alluding to Shakespeare
under the name of Action. or eagle
like" paid him this compliment:
"And there. though last. not least. is Ae-
gentler shepherd may nowhere be
found;
Whose muse full of high thoughts in
vention
Doth, like himself, herocally sound"
Four years after this, in 1898, Fran
els Meres published his book entitled
"Palladis Tamia," very interesting
contribution to literary history. The
author, who had been an instructor in
rhetoric in the University of Oxford,
was then living in London, near the
Globe theater. In this book Meres
tells his readers that "the sweet, witty
soul of Ovid lives in mellif1uous and
honey -tongued Shakespeare; witness
his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece, his
sugared sonnets among his private
friends" etc. To suppose that such a
man as this in a town the size of Min
neapolis, connected with a principal
theater, writer of the most popular
plays of the day, poet whom men
were already coupling with Homer
and Pindar-to suppose that such a
man was not known to all the educated
people of the town is simply absurd
There were probably few men, women
OF children in London, between 1895
Shakespeare was when he passed them
In the street; and as for such wits as
drank ale and sack at the Mermaid,
as for Raleigh and Bacon and Selden
and the rest, to suppose that Shakes
peare did not know them well-nay.
to suppose that he was not the leading
spirit and brightest wit of those am
brosial nights-is about as sensible as
to suppose that he never saw may

A choice collection of original poems by
JEAN HOOPER PAGE. F. Tennyson Neely:
ia Fifth Avenue, New York, 90 Queen
Street, London, Publisher. Cloth, gilt
top, s1.0O
Below is an extract from acriticism by
well known journalist:
1t is not always the brilliant work which
appeals to us most keenly Sarcasm and
rhetoric have their place, but the book
that lies on the desk and is found in the
mending basket is the book, nine times out
of ten, that deals with everyday life and
sweeps across the strings of the. heart.
While Mrs. Pages work, Through Field
and Fallow,r often touches the subtle mi
nor chords, il invariably swells to the tri-
umphant major and rings clear and true in
sweetness of undying hope and unqucnch-
able faith.
Much of Mrs. Pages work has appeared
first in our great daily newspapers, but its
life has been less ephemeral than theirs.
Here and there woman has treasured
some bit in her scrap book; man has
clipped a verse and put it away in the
drawer of his desk marked private. u
Sooner or later in this little volume the
reader will find the poem that was written
for him. ~
Father Ryan once wrote: 'To uplft
the downcast, to sweeten any life, To feel
that we in some way have helped to light
en- the burden that rests upon mankind
this is the only real compensation that
comes to the poet" This recompense will
be Mrs. Pages.
