JOHN KEATS.
4 Poets Gentle Life That Was Termina''
ed All Too Soon.

|
ed All Too Soon.
In the days of Keats Hampstead and
Highgate were still capable of having
an individuality of their own and OF
teeming with interesting associations
Part Of their celebrity arises from those
ssociations thus formed. Leigh Hunt
visiting those scenes before his DEATH
would point to the wooden seat where
he and Keats or he and Shelley sat
when such poem was recited or to the
path through the fields where Colerldge
took leave of him and Charles Lamb,
who would stutter some witticlsm at
parting,
John Keats was born in Moorsfield,
London, l795, and at the age of 10 was
left an orphan, when he entered upon a
five years apprenticeship in surgeon
apothecary shop at Edmonton. From
his youth he showed passion for music
and poetry and spent all his leisure mo-
ments in porting over books. After read
ing "The Faerie Queene" he would talk
Of nothing but Spenser. He learned
whole passages by heart, which he
would repeat and dwell upon with &C.
stasies Of delight. His first poetical com.
position, written at the age of II, was
entitled "In Imitation Of Spenser.
From that time it seemed that Keats
lived only to read poetry and to write
1T. He luxuriated in the thoughts of
poets, talked about them and read them
to his friends.
Before Keats apprenticeship was
over 1t was evident that he would not
in becoming surgeon. At 20
40 entered hospital as student, but
soon gave it up and found more con.
'enial society with Leigh Hunt, Shell
ey Goodwin, Hayden and others.
Keats signalized his accession to this
literary group by publishing in 1S17a
mall volume of poems. Hunt describes
i'm at this time as being under medium
eight with shoulders very broad for
is size. His face, strongly cut, yet deli
ately mobile, denoted determination
nd sensitiveness. His entire expression
as OF eager power, and he plainly
lowed his emotions Wordsworth
one ne seemed to look upon as sub
nifty among contemporary poets.
In 1877 he left London to lead c
llet, thoughtful and busy life on the '
le OF Wight, returning a year later Il
lth four books of his "Endymion COM "

A Father Who Seeks to Enlightcn His
Son on a Small Point.

Son on Small Point.
There Is a certain man who by the
sweat Of his BROWN summer time
earns his bread as government official,
with an office in the big state, war and
navy building He also earns bread for
wife and three likely children and a
servant, who manages to carry slice of
pie along home with her bread about
three evenings in the week. But that is
the cooks privilege always.
This official has son aged 10, who
is very nearly as sharp as the father
thinks himself to be, especially in those
things that everybody ought to know
and not one person in dozen does know.
About three times a week the father
comes to the office loaded with some
new information which he seeks to i'm.
part to his fellow clerks by the induct.
i've method-that u.s. be induces them
to show how little they know; then he
springs it Oh them. His strong point is
words and their pronunciation, and he
thinks he is an authority.

friends at a small supper the eldest bow
spoke up from the far end of the table. I
Say, pop" he inquired, chow do |
you pronounce N-e-w-o-n-er spelling
