Tennyson's Critic.

Here is Tennyson anecdote which
we recently found In a French literary
paper. and which we believe will be
new to a great many of our readers.
The laureate. of course. was In the
habit Of receiving a large number of
requests for his autograph. AS rule
he did not reply. But one day he was
much impressed by the letter of the
young daughter of a country gentle
man, and he sent her not only his au-
tograph, but an original quatrain. Tho
girl was naturally delighted. Her ia
Their, however, did not allow her 10
thank the poet, but assumed that re-
sponsibility himself. He sent the fol-
lowing letter:
"Dear Sir: have shown your
verses to the schoolmaster. He finds
that the tails of the g's and the upper
part of the his are very irregular. and
that you also forget to cross your
ts. Aside from that. thank you for
your effort"-The Bookman.

A Fable.

Once on time there was a man
who kept a secret for many, many
months He went to every one of
his friends and told them of some
thing great and worthy that he was
going to do.
snow" said he to each one, 81 wish
you would tell everybody you can,
far and near, that it may spread and
do good" And then he went his way.
HUH" said each one to himself.
after the mans back was turned,
does he think l am going to se his
mouthpiece and tell everybody what
he is going to do? Am | going TO
be his press agent; guess not; I'll keep
1t to myself" and he did; and as a
result there was nothing said about
the mans intentions until everything
was done to his satisfaction.
Moral: Blow your own horn loud
enough and the rest of the band will
desert you.

1T is always best to begin with an
animal direct from the jungle. The
wild animal is much better. The
tame animal, born and brought up in
captivity, begins to play with you like
little kitten. That's before his claws
have grown big. Then, when his
claws do grow and he scratches you,
you begin to be afraid of him. That
Is very bad for the animal-to know
that you are in any fear of him. He
