his elevation on the ground of an in
comparable zeal in philanthropy" and
then comes the crucial decision-"but
Sir Walter Besant has nothing more 20
do with literature than a signp0st
painter has to do with the art that was
illustrated by GainsbOrough."
And Sir Walter never felt the DAISIES
growing over him or lost an hour OF
sleep because Of English reviewers.
When Henry Irving was knighted, also
through the influence of Lord Rose
berry, he was condoled with for being
placed between Sir Walter Besant ana
Sir Lewis Norris and for his consola-
ton is reminded that he will do more
to make the order of ehiyalry look Dig
nihed than the two literary knights can
do to make it look ridiculous. BY the
actor knight the honor was accepted
as a recognition of his art, and not
personal triumph.
One gladstone feature has come out

to wait for post-mortem appreciation.
Rudyard Kipling has given to men not
one message of genius but many, and
his fame is established should he never
pen another line. But may we not ex-
