 Before Sims was fairly dressed for breakfast he gave the telephone terrific ring and scared the hello girl from her stool by the roar in which he announced the number wanted.
 ''Is this the furniture store?" he yell ed with the same waste of lung power. "Send me up a single bed, right away. What's that? l can't give you dia- gram. Send one that Il hold 6-year- old boy. Color? Anything but black or red. Just take my order. l don't want to stand here and hold a joint debate. Send up the bed. And, say, put in springs and a mattress and have the springs strong enough to hold a pile driver"

The Mission of Literature.

TennysOn's "In Memoriam" is as mo- table an example as modern literature af lords of this first and noblest mission of letters. Though entitled an elegy and written to commemorate the virtues of the poets personal friend-and in this sense appropriately restricted in its range-it takes up and develops the great ideas of God and the universe; of man and the soul and duty and destiny; of life and death and immortality; of good and evil, right and wrong; of sci ence, philosophy, ethics and religion, so as, in a word, virtually to cover the spacious area of truth and to make the reader feel that he is dealing with the profoundest problems of earth and heaven. Hence 'In Memoriam" is some thing more and greater than a mere poem. It is kind of compendium of theology and philosophy. of the divini- ties and humanities in new and striking form, furnishing food for thought to ey- cry thinking man who reads it
 Hence to our mind the fame of Ten nyson and its permanence rest more upon such a product as this than upon any other of his works "Maud, "'The Princess" Lady Godiva," "Enoch Arden" are choice and attractive poems, but scarcely to be cited in the same connection with this poetic mas terpiece-
 Similarly rich in these qualities is the marvellous genius of the Shakespear- can drama, making that classification just which insists upon placing Shakes peare by himself, as having no legiti- mate rival in the province of English literature Most of the Shakespearean plays evince this first condition of lit erary greatness in their respective em- bodiment of some great thought-Pro- lessor T. w.
