touching words the emotion be bad
felt at the sight of tbe artist's work.

to blm about 'Too Late."
The invitation was accepted, but as
soon as the old professor saw tbe art

prise and anger. "Why. you are quite
a youth!" be exclaimed. "I thought
you were old and. like myself, had
spent your life in vain endeavor to ob
tain recognition of your abilities. I
conceived that picture to be tbe last
despairing cry of a man as unfortu

we are baving tbat we make of the .
present, the one thing we are sure of.

And. of all the follies tbe limit is to
permit some one else to make our

half of tbe seventh century. This was
the age of Aldbelm. bishop of Sher
borne, tbe first In the roll of Anglo
Latin poets. He left a considerable
number of enigma In Latin hexame

bis time there was a collection of Lat
