The Bookman says: ''Mr. Hall Gaines
picture of clerical life in The Christian
can scarcely claim the merit of sobriety or
accuracy; but he has scored rather neatly
off the Archdeacon of London, who ven
tured to assert, within the sacred limits of
the island ITSELF that no such worldly and
vulgar archdeacon as Mr.. Gaines Canon
Wealthy has existed or could exist in Lon
don. To which Mr.. Game replies that he
had some difficulty in preventing a London
newspaper from declaring publicly, and of

The Philistine tells of meeting a lady at
literary reception in London who said she
had heard his ''Hosier Poet read at Exeter
Hall. How curious that hosier should
become your poet laureate in America she
said. The Phlistine did not know what
she meant, but followed the trail of her
chat until she said that her favorite among
the 'Hosier poets" poems was When the
Frost is on the Pumpkin and then he ex-
claimed that it was Riley the Hooser
poet" "Oh, you Americans have such a
queer way of pronouncing things" said the
lady. Yes, but Mr.. Riley is not a hosier,
he is" began the Philistine. But she cut
the explanation short with "Oh, 1 see, it is
a joke, then; you Americans are so funny.
1 suppose you think Mr.. Riley is a blue
stocking. and so you call him a hosier."
