Returning home what can he hope to be? At best a hero of
the Relief Force. But in his Lapp village he could imagine himself an
Artist.

"Canon Cooper O'Filley, known as the 'Walking Parson,' has decided
to celebrate his seventieth birthday by walking from Yorkshire to
Madrid."--_Sunday Paper_.
An even better-known "Walking Parson," Mr. COOPER, of Filey, will have
to look to his laurels now that this Irish pedestrian has entered the
lists.

"Mr. J.B. Fagan has decided to revive 'Twelfth Night' with the
original cast at the Court Theatre."--_Daily Graphic_.
We trust that when Mr. FAGAN revives the "original cast" he will not
omit to provide also against the inevitable call of "Author!" and settle
the BACON-SHAKSPEARE controversy once for all.

THE VEGES ON STRIKE.
(_A Dream._)
A noise arose of earnest men
Refusing imitation duck;
It was a dreadful moment when
The Beetroot-eaters struck,
And all around untasted stood
Rations of Mr. Kilo's favourite food.
For some forsook the sacred rules
And pulled, despite their master's word,
Ham sandwiches from reticules;
On every side one heard
The sharp staccato lettuce-crunch
Merged in the howls of carnivores at lunch.
