LONDON FOR A QUIET IIFR

Cows, Nightingale and Fowl Make
Country Too Noisy.
There is only one spot on earth where
the jaded spirit, weary of the rush and
noise and hustle OF modern life, can
find true peace and perfect quiet. 1t Is
known as London Town. What with
cows, dogs, poultry, motor cars and
nightingales the country nowadays is
such an uproarious pandemonium that
only a deaf man or an artillerist can
live there in comfort, says the London
Daily News.
Such we're the arguments which DIT
Robinson, town clerk of Shoreditch, adj
vanced when G. S. ID. Murray conclud-

commissioners into the application Of

houses were disturbed by the noise In
the district, but probably the site was
always noisy. The coaches going to
York in the old days made quite as
much noise as any London county coun-
ell tram car did to-day. If the old Ia
dies thought they were going to escape
noise by removing to the country they
would be bitterly disappointed.

noise and stink meant, let them go into
the country, where there was no 20
lice commissioner to stop motor omni

traffic.
To take only one night of his life
there was a corncrake rasping outsid,
his door till 10 o'clock. Then he was

Thackerny's Poets.

Thackeray's favorite poets were
Goldsmith and the sweet lyric sing
ers," Prior, whom he thought the easi.
est, the richest, the most charmingly
humorous of English lyrical poets, and
Gay, the force Of whose simple melody
and artless ringing laughter he appre-
ciated. He admired Pope, too; but
while admitting Millions greatness
thought him such bore that no one
could read him" 1t is not surprising
therefore, that Thackeray never IS
sayed the "big bow-wow kind" OF
poetry.
