Famous Editors Epioranns.

Sir Herbert Tree had reputation in England for making epigrams. One of his obituary articles quoted several times that he made when playing in this country. "In America" he said. 'thcre are many babies but few chil- dren." "There is something in the air in New York" he thought. "that stimulates and solaces activity; one ought always to be tired, but never wearily." More ambiguous. but without doubt honestly meant in a compliment ary sense, was his remark after a conversation with Cardinal Gibbons: "Of great men one sometimes learns little things" This would have been better if he had said, "From great men," etc, as perhaps he did. In his own line of theatrical work he said: eff the commercial managers of Amer lea had but served Shakespeare as they have served musical comedy, he would not have been deserted in his old age" Probably Sir Herbert had heard of our famous "tired business man." but apparently he forgot him in this remark about so-called musical comedy.
