Name Prevents Fame.

The handicap OF possessing a name
made famous by another person was
illustrated in the case of William
Wordsworth, who died recently at
Rome. eighty years old, and who was
the eldest surviving grandson Of the
English poet. Mr.. Wordsworth Is said
to have been a great scholar and HIM
self a poet Of high distinction, and a
volume of his sonnets was issued pri-
vately some years ago. Because MS
name was the same as that OF MS
grandfather, he always refused, 1t Is
related, to publish any of his poeticai
writings In the ordinary way, though
urged to do so by people of such high
authority as Matthew Arnold. who
kindly described one of his sonnets
as the finest In the English language
