the only morning paper in Louisville to give the

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Will you
give me tho privilege OF replying, through your
columns, to o letter from Mr.. Frederick Norton
concerning the poetry Of Rudyard Kiplingi
Mr.. Norton takes exception to a recent"
poom containing the line:
And q woman is only a woman. but q good cigar Ia =

He appears to feel that the poet is speaking of
the sex In general. I think he is in error. In
the first place, that recent poem was written
when Kipling was a very young man. l read it
first in . thin little volume which was published
In Bombay, Mt least ten years ago, probably

to what no supposes to DO Kipling's idea of

The poem alluded to as recent" is one OF
Kipline's earlier poems, called "The Betrothed."
and is in q volume published in 1890. The quo
tation is incorrectly given. Mr.. Norton then
passes on to a number of wholly unwurrantod
statements as to Kipling's ideas of woman, and
finishes the letter by leading us to infer that he

The isolation of q sentence from It's context

quoted lines, ono would have no right to im-
pute to 1t an photographed character.
Tennyson was made uncomfortable at times
by people insisting that both MAUD" and

was far from being tho case, and Mr.. Kipling
may have had similar experiences, as he puts
the situation quite clearly in the prologue to q

this morning where congress is now il
session and received royal treatment

simply beautiful. The majority of the

watching the young natives diving for

THE DREADED
CONSUMPTION

T. A. Slocum, M. c., the Great Chem
list and Scientist, Will Send Free,
to the Afflicted, Three Bottles OF

Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more Joy to the afflicted,
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. G.,
of 1873 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an
absolute cure for consumption and all
pulmonary complaints, and to make it's
great merits known, he will send, free,
three bottles of medicine. to any reader
of the Bismarck TRIBUNE who is suffer-
ing from chest, bronchial, throat and
lung troubles or consumption.
Already this new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to human
ity-to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough to commend
it, and more SO is the perfect confidence
of the great chemist making the propo-
sition.
He has proved the dreaded consump-
ton to be a durable disease beyond any
Ioubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in
his American and European laboratories
testimonials of experience from those
cured, in all parts of the world.
Don't delay until it is too late. Ad-
dress T. A. Slocum, M. c., SO Pine

doctor, please give express and postofice
address, and mention reading this article

OF its assets, surplus and earnings belong
to it's policy-holders.
Because it has an honorable record of
So years, during all of which time it has
steadily increased in strength and pros.

Because the sole condition is that if
premiums are paid the company will
certainly pay the policy Immediately
in the event it becomes a claim by death,
and thus leave a widow or an estate a
legacy and not a lawsuit.
Because it's policies cannot be forfeited
after three years, and if allowed to
lapse, the insured will receive either a
paid up policy, or extended insurance as
he may elect.
Because it gives a grace of one month
in the payment of premiums.
Because the New York Life is the
only American company which (by
means of a surplus reserve fund.-
charges such a liability on all it's old
policies as to equal a reserves: the only
American company that furnishes to
policy-holders, as we'll as new, protec-
ton on so high a standard.
Because it's policies will be reinstated
at any time during the five months fol-
lowing the month Of grace if the insured
passes a medical examination and pays
the back premium with interest.
Because you a borrow none from
the company at 5 per cent per annum,
after your policy has been three years in

Because o do not have to die to
win. If you live ten, fifteen or twenty
years you a settle your policy in any
way that best suits your circumstance

ance, annuity or other options.
Because the New York Life Insurance
company is the only company in which
