The man who in our times has had
the widest acquaintance with the lit
erature of the time of Shakespeare
died a few days ago in London. He
was Mr.. w. F. Craig. His learning
was marvellous and his scholarship
profound. He had made extensive
preparations for an exhaustive Shakes
peare Lexicon, with illustrations from
all the literature of that period. But
the finest fruit of life devoted to
study was his work on the Dowden
edition of Shakespeare, in the general
edItorship of which he was associated
Trinity college, and in which he edited
personally with supreme success King
Lear. 1t will be difficult to find a
worthy successor to Mr. Craig for the
superintendent of the several volumes
in the edition which remain to be
printed.

feeling that her friend deserved to be

night:
please, God, make Nina white"
As the weeks went by and Nina re
manned unchanged Maggie felt that her
petition needed reinforcement, SO she
confided in Nina, begging her to pray
for the greatly desired bleaching. But
