Queer things happen in newspaper offices
One of the queerest to occur in San Fran
cisco involved no less parsonage than Rud-
yard Kipling. When the latter arrived here
from India, plain newspaper writer, with
little or no claim to fame, he was entertained
by the reporters, and one daily paper sent
to him with q request that he write some
thing concerning his impression of the San
Francisco women. Rudyard, it seems, had
been out late the night before, and he
bluntly refused to write word without
being paid for it. On the next day, how
eyer-his headache having subsidized in the
meantime-he sent to the paper in question
a roll of manuscript on the desired subject,
which was printed.
He soon jOurneyed to New York, sought
employment, failed to find it, and so con-
tinued on TO London, where he wrote his
short stories and leaped into sudden fame.
In a short time his name was on every
tongue where the English language was
spoken, and the New York World, In a
characteristic burst of enterprise. cabled
their London correspondent to see hlp!lng
at once and employ him to write for them
his impressions of American women. Kip
ling was found heels over head IN work. and
informed the correspondent that the press
ure upon his time was such that he could
not comply with the Worlds request.
If you care to look over my scrap-book
he added, Il think you will md something
on the subject, and if you care to use it you
are welcome to do So
The clipping printed in San Francisco
nearly a column in length-was found, and
by cable it was flashed to America. From
New York it was fastened on by telegraph
10 San Francisco, at . cents word, and
after the lapse of several mouths it ap-
peared again in the paper from which IL was
originally taken as a special cableSram
from London. 1t was piece Of enterprise
duly commented upon, and a long time
elapsed before the real facts were dis

and he resides with his parents in Frost
burg. Throughout the county he IS looked
on as giant. He was born in Baltimore.

great fayorite with the boys of the town,

Searching for His Master.

Can dogs distinguish the days of the week,
one from the other? Possibly they may
not be capable of doing so, but there is in
San Francisco houiely aDd homeless little
cur which seems to know Monday and
Friday. He is little fellow, and seems to
have but a small circle of acquaintances.
His name is Rover, and he belonged at one
time to an old negro named William
Lawrence, who died some months ago IN the
City and County Hospital. During his life
the colOred master was passionately fond OF
music, and it was his custom for years to
attend the regular Monday and Friday
evening concerts given in the court of the
Palace Hotel Some months ago he was
seized with sudden illness. and in few
days died in the hospital. Rover sought
for him, but OF course was unable to find
him. lie has evidently not yet abandoned
the search, for as regularly as Monday and
Friday come around he may be found in the
crowd that is attracted to the Palace, ana
he Wanders around as if in search Of some
thing. 1t is believed that he is still hunting
for his owner. This is further carried out
by the TACT that at other times he may be
seen about his old haunts, aud always in a
hurry aud always on the look out, as II for
something he had lost.

MIND AND MATTER.

DIR. Reed Denies That the Soul Is the
Result of Evolution.
At Trinity Church last evening DIR. j.
Sanders Reed delivered a discourse OH
Mind and Matter" 1t was an attempted
refutaton of some of the ell-known theo-
ries advanced by such prominent evolution
lists as Huxley, Darwin and Spencer.
Concerning the origin of mind. soul or
spirit, DR.. Reed believes in evolution as Tar
as physical life is concerned, but refuses to
agree with Darwin and the others in hold
ing that the mental functions could have
been developed and perfected by the same
slow process.
Evolution" lie said, twill not concede
a special Providence for the creation OF the
soul, and yet all evolutionists are forced to
the conclusion that mind and matter are
not identical. In this we can easily detect
an Inconsistency, for if OF different SUB,
stance they must have had a separate and
distinct source of origin.
tine soul is not the result of evolution
from a first principle of physical life, but a
creation of God"

affectonately on his arm as she replied !:
Put your hat ON that dear old head of
yours at once. Don't allow your courtesy
to cause you TO take any chances. for we
