TO his GCings in Africa The book would have
gained if many of the minor triyialitieS of
everyday life had been eliminated from this
volume But there will be many who will ac-
cept the biographer's frank apologies for his un-
skiIfulness of workmanship for the sake of the
really charming and moving portrait he has
given of a remarkable character and q reInarka-

Mr.. George Bernard Shaw is too whimsical
ana humpiious Il writer to win the approval
OF impartial readers six days out of the week
but occasionally he has luminous moment i'm
which he eNcites not only agreement but adj
miration. Witness his behavior over the diva
cations of the Irish Literary Society Mr.
Shaw l. himself an lrishman But the society's
oner of prize for an essay in the Irish
lansuas" ON Brian Boru leaves him cold. Mr.
W. Il. Yeats is of the opinion that in fifty
years ireland will be bilingual. AMI that i'm Il
century the ancient language will be the only
one used He thinks the Irish are not so de-
graded IN their taste the majority of the
English. lie thinks that in England only two
thousand people out of thirty millions have
literature or drama. Great thoughts every one
OF them. But what of Mr.. Bernard Shaw?
lie laughs irreyerently. and asserts that the
English language is the one good thing that
Ireland has ever received from England" The
main thing is that irrcvcrent laugh The trou-
ble hitherto has been that the headIong advo-
Gates of general reversion in Ireland To the
ancient Irish language have been taken Sc
riouSly by their critics in England and have
waXed fat on solemn controversy good
laugh here and there will do more than any
thing else To bring them 10 their senses More

MEET WE NO ANGELS, P1NSIE!
by THOMAS ASHE.

by THOMAS ASIIE.
Came on a Sabbath morn. my sweet,
In white to find her lover:
The grass grew proud beneath her feet
The green elm-leavcs above her
Meet no angels, Pansie?
SfS said I'VE meet no angels now;
And soft lights strcam-d upon her;
And with white hand she touch'd a bough;
She did it that great honor
What, meet no angels. Pansie?
v sweet brown hat. brown hair brown eyes,
Down dropp'd brown eyes so tender.
Slsn what said L? Gallant replies
Seem llattery. and offend her
But-meet no angels Pansie?
