HOOD CANAL. June S. 1904.

| HOOD CANAL, June S, 1894
| The warm weather has melted the
snow in the Olympic mountains, so
that the Skokomish river has risen
but not so as to do any such damage
as the streams on the east side of the
Sound. Still it has been higher and
more muddy than 1 remember to have
seen from the melting of the snow in
twenty years.
On Saturday evening and Sunday
we were treated to quite a thunder
storm, which was followed by rain
enough to refresh the thirsty earth
again.
The house of Mr.. Joseph Kane in
Guiding the post Office of Union City
caught on fire last Tuesday, through
an unsafe f1ue, causing quite an ex-
citement for time, but fortunately
the fire was put out, before much
damage was done.
The Plymouth Congregational
church of Seattle advertise an excur-
sion from that place to the Li11ewaup
Falls on the twelfth. Fare for round
trip, dollar and quarter. Wonder
whether we can ever make the round
trip from Hood Canal to Seattle and
return for dollar and quarter?
Rev. M. Ee1ls, President of the
Board of Trustees of Whitman col
lege, left yesterday for Walla Walla,
to attend the annual trustees meeting
and commencement exercises of that
institution.
Messrs Winters and Clark of Hoods
port have rented three acres of Pat
rick Henry on the reservation and are
putting it into potatoes. If the hard
times continue and you get hungry at
Shelton, come over this way and we
shall probably have potatoes, clans,
and fish to eat. if we have nothing
more. S,
LAKE CUsHMAN, June ,, 1894.
Last week was the hottest we have
ever had at Lake Cushman and the
lake and river rose to a point 1 have
never seen equal1ed, except when
caused by rain. Mr.. Honan's garden
was partially flooded and the hay
field on the Putnam ranch was partly
under water, but no great damage
was done.
State cruiser Jas. Mcintosh has been
here for the past three days, looking
for land for the state. He says he
finds the best lot of improvements he
has seen in the state. His visit has
had the effect of bringing in all the
absentees, and much more work is
being done.
R. D. Webb and Mr.. Todd of Union

TALES OF KIPLING
These Are Told About Him and Not
by Him.
LIVING At A Big VERMONT FARMHOUSE
Wears Shabby Clothes and Never
Without a Pipe.
HIS HOME A CURIOSITY

There is young man Of slight figure
and eccentric dress who for more than a
year has continued to excite a good deal
of interest on the streets of the town of
Brattleboro', in the county of Windham,
in the state of Vermont says a writer in
the Boston Globe.
The name of this young man is well
known to fame as Rudyard Kipling, a
writer of queer tales in prose and verse
Mr.. Kipling is an interesting young man
in another capacity than that Of author.
IIe has made himself an object of curl
osity among his neighbors by the original
character of his appearance and by his
rigid discrimination in the choice of ac-
Quaintances.
A young man who writes clever books
has as much right as anybody else to in
dulge eccentric fancies in dress and pref
erences and prejudices in the choice OF
acquaintance, and the wise men of Brat
tleboro'. after their first shock of surprise
and Indignation, evidently have concluded
that the best way to get along with such
persons is to leave them alone.
Now young men seldom yearn for "a
lodge in some vast wilderness" and Mr..
Kipling has recently shown a disposition
to be friendlier with the common people
of Brattleboro'.
Kipling's Home.
Mr. Kiplng lives in little place called
Dummerston, closely contiguous to the
Brattleboro' line. He lived i'm Brattle-
boro' when he first came to Vermont and
until he completed his new house, which,
like its designer, in it's effort to avoid at
tention attracts the general interest of all
residents and visitors thereabouts
This house is fashioned after the plan of
an Indian bungalow, in which one long
corridor from end to end of the building
divides all the apartments, as in a hotel.
1t is painted in a color that is intended
to harmoniZe with the background OF
trees and is built on the side of a hill.
These precautions are taken lest anybody
should see the house, which occurrence
doubtless would deprive the chief occupan.
of some measure, more or less abundant,
of his peace of mind.
1t is a long, curious looking structure,
without an entrance on the side that faces
the roadway and with but one door in
the house, that on the hillside, so that
anybody invading Mr.. Kipling's privacy
would have to attempt the invasion by
this inconvenient entrance.
He has a fine looking barn and a big
windmill. He sank an artesian we'll on
his place to the depth Of 343 feet at a
cost of about 5000.
His property slopes down from the hill
side to the roadway, and at the base of
the hill, although there are no fences or
distractions, are scattered signs reading:

As Heard by an Old Engineer.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
II was lettering around the streets last
night" said Jim Nelson, one of the old To-
comotive engineers running into New Or
leans. "As / had nothing to do, 1 dropped
into a concert and heard a sleek-looking
Frenchman play piano in a way that
made me feel all over in spots.

much steam he was carrying, and the next

buzz saw, and 1 got excited.

to cut her off a little. he kicked the DAM

the throttle way back in the tender and
how he did run! 1 couldn't stand it any
pounding on the left side, and II he wasn't
careful he'd drop his ashpan. But he didn't
hear. No one heard me. Everything was
flying and whizzing. Telegraph poles on
the side of the track looked like a row of
cornstalks, the trees appeared 10 be a mud
bank, and all the time the exhaust Of the
old machine sounded like the hum of a
humble bee. / tried to yell out, but my
tongue wouldn't move. He went around

heard another crash as the French profess
sor struck the deep keys away down en- the
lower end of the southern division, and then
1 came to my senses. There he was at a
dead standstill, with the door of the fire
box of the machine open, wiping the per-
spiration of his face and bowling to the
people before him:
'If live TO be 900 years old I'll never
forget the ride that Frenchman gave me on
