some newspapers in printing reviews
which tell the complete story of a book,
thereby injuring it's sale, was energet-
suggested that a quiet protest be
framed and sent to the editors. The
majority of reviewers do not make the
mistake of spreading the larger portion
of book before their readers, though
such habit is undoubtedly growing
The journalist who knows his busi-
ness knows that while many people like
to take their books in this way, there is
larger number by far who resent
having their pleasure spoiled by these
preliminary exhibitions, aid who often
decline to buy a book thus treated. A
review which tells the entire plot of a
novel works injustice both to author
and reader.
New York Tribune: Professor Beers
quotes Matthew Arnold as follows:
''The difference between genuine poetry
and the poetry of Dryden. Pope and all
their school is briefly this: Their poetry
is conceived and composed in their
wits; genuine poetry is conceived and
composed in the soul" This touchstone
may justly be applied to English
poetry on the whole in the eighteenth
century, until the last decade of that
century But we must beware of ap-
plying it, as it very often is tacity ap-
piled, to the broad tone of the time

dedicated to Swift Addison and Steele,
and DIR. George Birkbeck-H Hill performs
the same office in an equally genial
manner for the volume given to John-
son and Lord Chesterfield. With their
neat title pages, their admirably re
produced portraits and their rubricated
vellum backs, these books have just
the formal air that we associate with
the last century. But how much hu-

When the Cook Was Com

Oh. jolly were the days
When the cook was gone!
To the pantry mother trotted
And on tasty treats we lotted
When she tied her apron, spotted,
Neatly round her ample waist.
At her heels we children followed,
Hardly our impatience swallowed
For the feast that never failed US
When our mother made the paste!
Oh. merry was the house
When the cook was gone!
Mothers blue eyes gayly danced,
In great glee we children pranced.
Snatching scraps of sweet that CHANGED
To escape her fingers fair.
How she mixed and rolled and patted,
Pricked and punched and deftly spatted,
While we youngsters hovered round her
Waiting each for generous snare.
What jolly crowd we were
When the cook was gone
In the oven dainties baking.
I.ady-cook her leisure taking,
Telling stories, laughter shaking,
TO her hungry little flock.
Then what peepings In the oven;
For no grim, gaunt cook was present
Such performances to shock.
Kitchen was happy spot
When the cook was gone!
When the pie was duly done,
Then began the feast and fun;
Mothers laurels easy-won
From the laughing critics there!
How the morsels flew apace!
Ilinpes danced in mothers face.
For the pantry mouse at last,
Not toothsome crumb to spare.
But sorry was the day
When the cook came back!
Mother in the parlor sat,
Kitchen ruled by cook and cat,
Pantry mouse a growing fat,
children banished from the place,
Baking days all days of sorrow,
Goodies 'set by till tomorrow,
Dishcd out properly by mother
With very proper face.
Would you have the best of times?
Send the cook away
Queen of kitchen is the mother,
She can cook as can no other,
Without frowns and peevish pother,
Ccoketh she for loves dear sake
Peace will reign from floor to ceiling,
All dysrepsia's ills a-healing.

Senator Hoar, in the April installment

Il have always lamented that they

and brave yet never were two honest,

unlike each other. The training and
