Bir Vere de Vere was the eldest son of Sir Aubrey de Vere, the sonneteer and friend of Wordsworth. His broth- er, Aubrey de Vere, was a more than well known, a famous poet, and to him in his youth Walter Savage Lan- dor addressed the exhortation: Make thy proud name still prouder for thy sona. He had no sons, however, never hav- ing married. Nelither had his brothers, Vere and Stephen. Thus the name, as a family name, disappears. The De Veres were early friends of Tennyson's, and it was from them that the poet took the name which he made proverbial and symbolical of a class—“the caste of Vere de Vere.” Lady de Vere, the only Lady de Vere of fact then lving, was inclined to complain that her name should be be- stowed upon the black hearted Lady Clara of fiction. Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but 'was not master of dainty manners. He but a temporary nature, and that he will soon be -enjoying ‘his usual - | health. growled: “Why should you care?

BEMIDJE, MINN. Another Reason. An English clergyman visiting In this country told of a jilting that had happened in Lis parish. He said that he had an appointment to marry a couple at 4 on a certain afternoon. He appeared duly, and the bride appeared, but not the bridegroom. The clergy- | wan and the lady, sflent and embar- rassed, waited in the quiet church from 4 tiH 6. Then they sadly depart- ed. A week later the same couple wrote to the clergyman again, ap- pointing another afternoon at 4 for the ceremony. And again the clergy- man and the bride were on hand duly and again the groom failed to turn up. As the two waited time passed slowly in the still and empty church. It grew darker. I'ive o'clock sounded, then 6. And then the bride broke the silence with a fierce ejaculation. “Drat him!” she cried. “'Tain’t his trousers this time, ‘cause I bought bim a pair.” BULLET | Na Great Northern Railway Change in Time WINTER SCHELULE An importantjehange of timeZitook place on 1le Great Northern line ruvingd through?
