aftrnoon of Fbruary 14.
His Most Imprial Majsty Kyl th First has ordrd a fitting monumnt to his
lat lamntd frind. A simpl shaft of granit shall b rctd in th gardn
facing th Ast Wing of Kylton Palac, whr Mr. Booth mad his residnc. On th
shaft shall b inscribd th lgnd:
"How bautous mankind is! Oh brav nw world,
That has much peepl in't!"

Shakspar.
An vn mor fitting and long-livd mmorial is xprssd in th dict rlasd

reeds in part:
"Th nw linguistic policy on Trra, as dmonstratd in th _Trran
Bacon-Sntinl_, shall hncforth b known as Boothtalk."
Mr. Booth bfrindd Our Imprial Rulr in His youngr days, and, as w all
know, His Majsty nvr forgts a frind.
