Nc Waiter's Napkin.

The waiter without his napkin? I'm
possible, declares Boniface. One
might as well imagine the table with
sat a tablecloth. The waiter has car
sied a napkin ever since he donned
black and white. and therefore It is
U~nseemly. barbarie to think OF his APP
pairing at table without the huttering
and o~bsequious linen. We have seen
him and HIS napkin. First he draws
out the chair and nicks away an in
frusive erumb. Next he polishes q
plate and then furtively wipes his
brow. A spoon IS a little greasy
waiter daubs 1t with his napkin. A
glass Is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with
the napkin. A bottle is dusty-the
napkin. There may be other napkins.
but the waiter is not an aesthetic. Were
he an aesthetic he would not be a walt
en. He does not remember to change
his napkin. He uses It indlscriminate-
1y. The only cure IS to take It away
from him. and keep things clean as a
matter Of course. The speck OF dust
which the waiter removes with such
grave and elegant circumspection has
no business to be where be finds II.

sThe Burial Of Sir John Moore"

AAM IAA AaA "a 80 WIN
A writer In the Critic has discovered
wh5 the author Of that old-time IA
vorite Of the school readers. The
Burial OF Sir John Moore, sue
ceeded in writing any other poem
which was considered worth printing
II appears that The Burial Of Sir
John Moore" is nothing but a transla-
tion from the French Of a poem by
Lally-Tonendal. an officer Of the
French army. who wrote the poem
after the death Of a fellow soldier
Here are two stanzas from the French
poem:
Nj lie son de tambour. . nj la
marche funehre.
NJ le feu des soldats : ne marqua
son depart
Mais du brave, a Ia hate, a travers les
tenebres
Mornes : = . nous portanies Ie ca

De minuit c'etait rheure. ct solitaire ct
sombre-
la June a peine onrait un deble rayon;
Ia l~anterne luisait p~eniblement dams

ouand de la baionnette on creusa lie
gazon.
The opening stanzas OF The Burial
Of Sir John Moore" are as follows:
Not a drum was heard. not a funeral note,
As his corpse 70 the rampant we hur-
ried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot
Ger the grave where our hero We
buried.
We buried him darby at dead OF night
The sods with our bayonets turning;
by the struggling moonbeams misty light
And the lantern dimly burning.
This similarity runs through the
entire poem, and leaves no room for
doubt that Rev. Charles Wolfe sim
ply appropriated TO his own use the
work Of the French poet put a new
title on Il, and thus instead OF dying
unknown beyond the boundaries Of his
little parish made his nam familiar
10 all Engiish-speaking people. II was
a master stroke on the part OF Rev.
Charles. The Critics investigator ap-
pears to have been unable to discover
where Lally-Tollendal stole the poem.
