Small Salary for Hiuh Office

II may be some comfort to laboring
men to know that the salary of the
poet laureate of England is $3.50 a
year and a hogshead of wine thrown
in. OF course. this represents only a
fractional part of what Alfred Austin
really earns; still it is all that he gets
for being poet laureate to the English
speaking race. This salary is without
any prospect raise. although it was
increased to its present munificent
proportions when Lord Tennyson died.
Some time before his death it was de-
cided to increase his salary to that
amount, but the government did not
decide till after his death. Thus the
present poet laureate came in for the
raise intended for Lord Tennyson.
