POETS AS PUNSTERS.

Even Shakespeare and Milton Broke
 Into This Form of Humor.
 Shakespeare was an inyeterate pun ster. and Dr. Johnson in his preface to an edition to the poets works deplores bis habit of punuing on serious occa- siOns Hamlet Is made to pun when he asks the gravedigger:
 Whose graves thiST
 Mine, sir" answers the clown.
 Hamlet replies: "I think it be thine indeed, for thou Hest int" and addS later. Thou dOst lie int to be int and sly ii is thine"
 To King Richards question. What ,omfort man: How is't with ancient Gaunt% Shakespeare makes Gaunt re. .ply: old Gaunt indeed and gaunt in being old Within me grief has kept tedious fast And who abStains from meat that k not gaunt?'
 Milton is the last poet one would think to be guilty of punning. and yet he once wrote a punnimg epitaph upon a carrier who piled between Cambridge and London and who died after losing his trade on account of the plague.
 This carrier was the HObSon whose choice" iS so famous. He used to hire out horses. but travellers had to take the horse UobSOn offered or none, so that "uobSon's choice" came to mean DO choice at all
 The whole poem, written on the death of this carrier. is full of puns. One pas sage runs:
 Rest that gives all men life gave him his
 death
 And too much breathing put him out of
 breath
 Nor were it contradiction to affirm Too long vacation hastCned on his term.
 Cowper made pun which has be- come quite famous In the poem de scriblng the ride of John Gilpin. who had to go where his horse took him and eventually arrived at the house of a friend from whom the horse had been borrowed. Gnpin says: came because your horse would come.

Washington protesting. as chairman of
the legislative committee of the board of
temperance, prohibition and public morals

Cummings as a member of the excise

This protest is based upon seven years
acquaintance while he (Mr. Cummings)

was superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League of that state" the telegram said
Like the proverbial mule that was good
a whole year to get chance to kick a

Discusses German system.

Lord Haldane had much to say about
the German system. He made a plea
for schooling in the practical sciences.
but first and throughout a plea for
more schooling. His figures regarding
the youth of Britain were a revelation.
II not sensation. Lord Cromer, for a
quarter of centeury the British ruler
of Egypt. although himself not a uni
Verslty man, was the advocate for the
old-faShioned training in the humani-
ties. and summoned the United States
as a witness for his case. Viscount
Bryce concluded a debate which ranged
from Greek to rowing with a note of
optimism.
Lord Ha'dane asserted that the Sec
ondary schools are the strongest point
In the German system and the most
pressing problem in the British system.
1t was defect in the German system
that hard and fast line was drawn
between various classes of the nation
the arlstocratc class, the middle class
and the democracy. This country was
more fortunate in that the children OF
the working classes 4 they had excep-
tonal aptitude could obtain the sec
ondary education by scholarships.
Some of his figures follow:
In England out of 275G 900 bows and
girls between the ages of twelve and
sixteen years only 100000 get any edu-
cation alter the age Of thirteen.
VI hiit remaining l-bJN,uVJ the great

quality is deficient
