the occasion, revised by Vanbrugh, and with the addition of lyrical scene by Dryden himself. He also wrote for the occasion a secular masque to cele- brate the opening of new century. The performance took place, but the date of it is uncertain and it has been thought that it was not until after Dryden's death
 During the months of March and April, 1700 Dryden was very i'll with the gout. On the 3Oth of April the postboy announced that John Dryden, Esq, the famous poet, lies a-dying," and at 3 o'clock the next morning he died very quietly and peacefully. His body lay in state in the College of Physicians for some days. On the 18th of May the funeral took place at Westminster Abbey with a great pro- cession. Some time passed before any monument was erected to Dryden in Poets Corner, where he had been bur jed by Chaucer and Cowley. The Duke of Buckinghamshire, finally came to the rescue, it is said, owing to a re- flection of Pope's on Drydens rude and nameless stone.'

FAMOUS MEN.
JOHN DRYDEN

John Dryden, the great English po- ct and prose writer, did not begin the writing of his famous Fables" until he had reached the age of sixty-nine. It was his practice in translation and the remarkable success which attend ed it which suggested to Dryden this last, and one of the most singular, but at the same time, the most bril- Hantly successful of all his poeticaI experiments
 Previous to the writing of his fables, Dryden tranSlations themselves were in many cases rather paraphrases than translations. When he was sixty-nine he conceived the idea of a kind of composition which was to be avowed- ly paraphrase. At sixty seven, writing hard for subsistence, he did not think of any such mighty attempt as this But he took certain tales of Chaucer and certain novels of Chaucers' mas ter, Boccaccio, and applied his system to them. The result was the book of poems to which, including as it did many Ovidian translations, and much other verse, he gave the name of 'Fa- bleS' using that word in it's simple sense of stories
 It is not surprising that when these Tables were published, when the author had reached his three score and ten, that the public was taken by storm. The book was dedicated to the Duke of Ormopd ill a prose epistle, than which even Dryden never did anything better It abounds with the fanciful expressions, just stopping short of cohceit, which were such fa- vorites with him, and which he man aged perhaps better than any other writer.
 This volume Fables was not only the last poetry that Dryden produced, but it also exhibits his poetical char acter in it's best and most perfect form. And yet this greatest of his eff forts was started when he was close to seventy years of age.
 Dryden had, through all his long literary life, been constantly a stu dent always his own scholar, always correcting, varying, rearranging and refining. He had reached a wonderful perfection of meter About this time Dryden also wrote his second series
 of letters. This correspondence ex- tended the last eighteen months of the poets life beginning in October, 1898,
 and not ending until a week or two before his death in the spring of 17O0. 1 Dryden's life lasted but a very short
 time after the publication or the "Fa- l bles'. He had worked hard and had 1 probably lived no more carefully than
 most men of his time The Fables
 were printed the last year of his life
 to keep the proverbial wolf from the
 door, and that he had succeeded and 1 no more is shown by the fact that a
 few months before his death his ad-
 nirers found it necessary to get up a
 benefit performance for his at the

The driver they gave us was a stranger and he took the wrong road and landed us the other side of the river.

 One man remembered the family name of the king of England. For ten years he waited for someone to ask him for this information.
