Just 500 years ago in a little house
within the garden of st. Mary's chapel,
Westminster, and the sire of English
poetry, Oct. 25, 1400, was a day on
which a great light passed beyond the
ken of men. Darkened for time, its
radiance has frightened and duffused
itself down the centuries until now 1t
is the guiding star of all who seek to
know our mother tongue. Chaucer's
verse marks an epoch in the English
language and literature, but strongly
as it appeals to the bookman, to the
antiQuary, and to the thoughtful OBJ
server of those earlier conditions OF
social life, it's study is from less sa-
lient point of view of almost equal
worth. Among the many critical
analyses which this anniversary calls
forth, word may well be given to
Chaucer's poetry in its relation to the
flora Of England. Not only is living
therein the charm of English fields,
the song of lark, the fiuttering leaves
and breath of meadow sweet, but
Chaucer, first, in some degree, gives
expression to that subjective pleasure

Lovers Long Engagement,

The police of Cincinnati state that
there are two lovers in that city who
have been engaged to be married for
the last fifteen years. This postpone
ment OF the fateful plunge, however,
is not due to the prospective BRIDE
groom being laggard in love; still
less is 1t due to the bride proving un-
duly coy. The simple explanation is
that no time has occurred during the

But with the return of the Gjoa light
was cast on the plan to be pursued,
and the story shows Bauendahl is
nearly as daring anr startling as the
intrepid aeronaut for whom he is to
search. The Gjoa fell in with the
Matador at Cape South, and on visit
to Bauendahl by Captain Hagerup the
former related how he expects to
reach the pole.
His plan is to steam his vessel to
the edge of the ice field, at about the
eighty-first parallel of latitude, where
he will disembark his forty water

pounds. Thereupon Bauendahl and an
