A DEDICATION, a nondescript
L n paragraph, a quotation from
George Brandes's Shakespeare, a long
preface, an extensive description of the
east of characters Incidentally a one
act play, and an envoi-these are all
packed into the IA page volume entitled
Airy Nothings, or What You Viii, writ
ten by a young man Of the name of
George Gordon, described on the jacket
as "a new Shakespeare scholar and "a
true dramatist."
1t would be futile to make the facile
joke so dear to the heart of the critic and
compare the title with the contents, be-
cause young Mr.. Gordon is worth read
ing. He is worth reading, first, because
he is entertaining; take this passage:
"Mr. Shaw, however, confidently as
serts that had he been born in 1856
Thereby antedating Marlowe by eight
years. instead of 1856, he would have
taken to blank verse and given Shake
speare harder run for his money than
all the other Elizabethans put together;
Mr.. Shaw, who is about as daring as
Punch, whose affair with Melpomene was
broken off on account of his friendship
for Mrs. Warren"
This is amusing; it is likewise good
criticism. Mr.. Gordon's remarks on Sid
ney Left taken with grain of salt
are stimulating; and his general attitude
interesting. So far so good. But if he
expects us to accept him as Shakespear-
ian scholar. he has far to 60. Cleverness,
obscure paradox, indiscriminate icono-

antecedents; 1 prefer Hampshires TO most
poetry Mr.. Hungerford, down the
river, maintains that so far as the ordi-
nary farmer is concerned plain hog is
good enough; while Mr.. Bliss is all for
the Chester White"
The reviewer finds himself wandering
aimlessly from Shakespeare to pigs, from
Sidney Lee to Greek art but it is not his
fault, for Mr. Gordon leads him a merry
chase.
We had almost forgotrer the play,
Mary! Maryi 1t is mildly amusing: Mary
Fitton, the Dark Lady of the Sonnets,
has disguised herself in order to be pres
ent at the Mermaid and hear Shakespeare
read sonnet in the presence of Jonson,
Raleigh, and his other boon companions.
The idea that Mary Fitton would not
understand the sonnet (No. 1907 and be
displeased at the paradoxical praise be-
slowed upon her by her lover, is clever;
and when the author comes to develop it
the scene Is almost dramatic But the Sklt
is padded.
There is hope for Mr.. Gordon, if be
will but consent to think little longer
before he writes. His cleverness and
acuteness of perception are his best as
sets. but if he will forget Shaw and
strive to write simply, without affectation

he does not happen to agree, he may be-

ner at least. He has caught the Shaw
trick of Dragging, evolving high sounding
paradoxes and throwing things at the
accepted authorities in art and literature ),
but Shaw has gone to his head.
Where G. B. S. is hard to follow, Mr..
Gordon is positively Opaque; where G. B.
S. is ironic, Mr.. Gordon is insulting. His
condescension is amusing, especially when
he deigns to wave Prof. Kittredge aside
as a nonentity.
But these are signs of youth. So, like
wise, is the positively bewildering array
of names which stud every page of the
preface. One one page alone-taken at
random-we find the names of Napoleon,
Arnold Bennett, Shakespeare, Masefeld,
Yeats, Miehelangelo. There are also
references to a criticism by William
Archer of play by Bennett; book Of
Yeats and one of Masefeld, a play Of
Shakespeare, five of his characters, and a
statue of Miehelangelo.
Were this an exceptional passage, there
would be little to complain of; but there
is not a single page which fails to reveal
the writer's wide reading, and, all too OBJ
viously, his desire to display his learning.
The whole preface is an undigested
pouring forth of Mr.. Gordon's literary
enthusiasms and dislikes. There is
touch of engaging frankness in his au-
photographed paragraphs-there is lit

he tells of his being farmer from south

Walter Brockman, Prominent
Stockman, Found Dead
Last Sunday. 8
NECK WAS BROKEN
Had Seven Mules Packing Salt
Up Narrow Trail
to Cattle.

Walter Brockman, one of the best
known cattle men of this section, was
found dead at the bottom of bluff on
Snake river last Sunday. Just how
the accident happened will never be
known as Mr. Brockman was alone
when he fell to his death.
He left his home Sunday morning
with seven mules and saddle horse
the mules being packed with salt, and
was headed for his cattle range ON
the Snake river, 20 miles below Pitts
burg, where he had a large band OF
cattle. The mules were tied head to
tail and the bunch contained one un-
ruly animal, and it is presumed that
something went wrong and that Mr..
Brockman went down the trail to the
animal that was causing the trouble
The trail they were passing over had
just been constructed by Mr.. Brock
man. At the point on the bluff where
the accident happened there was
sheer drop of sixty feet and both man
and mule then rolled between 200 and
$50 feet before lodging Parties ON
the opposite side of the river noticed
the pack train standing on the trail
which led to the alarm being given
some five hours afterwards.
When the searching party arrived at
the point where the body was lodged,
they found Mr.. Brockman and the
body of the mule lying quite close to-
gether. The mule was literally broke
en- to pieces. Mr.. Brockman's neck was
brocken and it is said every rib and
numerous other bones were fractured.
His face was crushed and he was
bruised up in frightful manner
Owing to the inaccessibility of the
section the body was not. recovered un-
til the following morning, trail
having to be constructed for the pur-
pose.
The body was brought out to Pitts
burg on a pack animal by Frank e.
Wyatt and assistants, where they were
met by undertaken A. J. Maugg, of
Grangeville, and where the immediate
necessary services of the undertaken
were performed. From Pittsburg the
body was transported by wagon TO the
Wyatt ranch where o. ID. Hamlin Of
Cottonwood was waiting with his
| truck.
The trip from the Wyatt ranch was
undertaken early the following morn
ing; and Grangeville was reached in
the early afternoon Tuesday and the
remains prepared for burial.
Services were conducted at the
NJ. r. church at Cottonwood. Wednes-
day at B p. m. and were attended by
many friends and acquaintanees Of
the deceased, the funeral cortege
leaving Grangeville at l 80.
Mr.. Brockman was As years of age
and is survived by a wife and four
year-old son who have the deepest
sympathy of the residents of the en-
tire county in their great affliction.

FRANCIS GILBERT WOUNDED.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. M. Gilbert In
jured in France.


Mrs. G. NJ. Gilbert of this city re-
ceived a letter Tuesday evening from
Red Cross Temporary Hospital %,
some where in France" bearing the
sad information that her son Francis
had received two or three wounds
while on the firing line. The mes
sage was written by Carolyn W. Clark,
nurses aid, and is as follows:
Your son, Francis Gilbert, was
wounded in battle yesterday, June LIST,
and is now in our hospital. He was
wounded in two or three places but
we expect he will get well without be-
ing disabled. He is getting on all
right now and we will let you hear
again soon. He sends love and says
not to worry because he will soon be
well again."
Francis Gilbert is 20 years of age
and enlisted in the old company e of
Grangeville, after the company re-
turned from the border. He attended
school here and will be remembered
by his associates as young man
possessing many admirable qualities
That he was not found lacking in the
qualities that go to make a true sol
dier is evidenced by the information
contained in the message.
His many friends and friends of the
family sincerely hope that news of his
recovery will be received by his par
ents at an early date.
