Sturdy old Sir Walter Runciman, 80, yielded a mite further, last week, to the biblical sin of pride...
...TIME'S knowledge of the Scriptures is lamentable. Recently the Atlantic Monthly spoke ignorantly of the "parable" of the Widow's Mite. TIME showed just as profound ignorance [Sept. 26] when she corrected Mr. A. F. Higgins' misquotation of Scripture in a footnote, but failed to correct Mr. Higgins' second Scripture reference.

When Broadway's last niece and nephew have chortled with childish glee over Tomany, it will probably be seized upon by all the stock companies throughout the land. Juvenile William...
