Poet Laureate.

The Office of poet laureate practical
ly begins with Chaucer. who assumed
the title about 1885. After Chaucer
the Office was more or less i'm the
shadow. but from Spenser in 1899 the
line of poet laureate is pretty well
filed down TO the present time. The
Office is largely honorary and has not
always been held by the greatest of
English poets. Dryden, Wordsworth
and Tennyson being the most Illus
trious of its holders.-London Saturday

To an audience that evinced frequent
signs OF delight last evening the able
company of players brought together by
s. Z. Poll unfolded in dramatic form that
simple and appealing idyl, The Shepherd
OF the Hills"
It is a wholesome and entertaining tale,
made up of situations which are as old
as the hills themselves, but which will
ever be popular because they are eter-
ualIy true. A straightaway narrative,
without subtlety and confusing Complica-
tiOns, is welcome when presented on the
stage with attractiveness and vtgor. Last

scene in the hills-rocks. gaunt pines and
the mountains stretching away into the
distance-added much to its effectiveness.
That picturesque section of our country
has been the theme OF many stirring

with vivid sentiment, and THE Shepherd

dance.
To most readers Of current fiction the
story is familiar. A beautiful mountain
girl loved a man from the city who de-
serted her. and later a baby was born to
her AS the child grew up he was con-
sidered witless. but had understanding OF
