ILLUSTA.TVED ovirn Prtoruto/I s.
This article came into the oe olc along with hundreds of others that come in cvery week. The
first reader vrot, " \'Very, very interesting-hut is it true ? I never he;lard of Kate." Then the
manuscript t i froi one Ito another, each one entlhusiastic over it, but no one able to answerIlI
the question. Finally we submitted it to some people who were in a position to know the
absolute trutl of the story, and the word came back, "Every word of it t ue." That settled
it. Isn't it a satisfaction to tn( s auch a human einfg as "K'ate"? Anid isn't her answer to
woman's suffrage lovely? "She s:s that the iboys have always done what she asked then t, do
without her needing any vote for herself!"

TO FINLEY PETER DUNNE (" MR. DOOLEY ")
The only art I :hoast is this- For you have more than Falstaff's mirth,
I too have laughed with alH the crowd, Nor less th:mi hamlet's lteen;
Vhen the rich wonder of your wit "\'Vilt w\eep for Hccuila"-andl lhen
Challenged their plaudits loud; Wlith laughter shake the scene.
And then, the jester's rIle aside, One of Go l's players playing out
A finer spirit have I known, iVith zt a weary part;
A man with sorrow, too, aaluaint, Teaching the said world how to s',il
A look into the mrrv ees- Launching the scorn that blasts the knave
Lo! here arec tears unshed The jst that 11ars the fool,
h:t do notl asko a kindred soul And bIy the right divine of wit
To leave their fountLail had. Giving a nation rule.
Laurgh on, laugh on, dear Wit and Sage,
The roaring crowds aboxt
iet keep for your own h( n fe'
The 'Poet of their I,ov.
