MRS. KIPLING
SAVED THE POEM

One of the newspaper men who inter-
viewed Rudyard kipling during his re-
cent visit to South Africa writes of
him in the Cape Times:
He takes his work hard. He is
tremendously in earnest about it; anx-
ious TO give Of his best; often dissatis-
fed with his best. He is quite conf
cally dissatisfied with success; quite
tragically haunted by the fear that

ton, and will be cast in damages be-
fore the higher court of posterity.

shortcomings of his private conception

WHY THEY sNIcKEREp.

A certain family on the East Side re-
Gently had as a visitor a young girl
from the country. She was about Is
years old and she and the daughter Of
the household made many journeys to
enable the country cousin TO see the
sights Of the city
One day the city cousin had occasion
TO 90 to a drug store nearby to get
some medicine OF course she asked
her country cousin to go with her, and
to this proposition she readily agreed.
When the two went in the drug
store a young clerk in the store was
doing some loud talking. He was sep
arated from the pair by a board parti-
ton. and although they could hear
him, they could not see the interior Of
the apartment Someone must have
broken a large pane of glass, for the
clerk was telling the person at the
other end OF the phone the size and
thickness Of the pane. He had some
difficulty in making the other person
understand and talked louder and more
forcibly than telephone ethics permit
The country girl stood and listened
and looked wonderingly at the parti-
ton. AT last her curiosity was
aroused so much that she turned to her
city cousin and said.
THAT man is talking back there and
no one is answering him"
The girl cashier snickered and so did
everyone else in the store.

MATCH.
The dyeing establishment of William
Brooks. at No. 210 West Seventh street,
was slightly damaged by fire yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Brooks was cleaning a
vest with a heavy brush when the
friction from it ignited a match which
was in one of the pockets. A can, con-
tanning benzine, was on the cleaning
table and it exploded, setting fire to
the place An alarm was sounded, and
the district engines responded The
loss will be about $25.
An oil stove exploded yesterday af-
ternoon in the office of DR.. Henry W.
Bryan, on Heald street, South VIII
mington. The loss was about $3.50.

origin, occurred yesterday at the Hark-

A politician is a politician all the
time. He has selfish motive in
everything he does. IL he gives a
needy woman loaf Of bread he builds
upon her sons voting ms
wav at the primary and

work he considers it part Of the duty
of that man to surrender his opinions
and duties of citizenship in return for
the favor. But this young politician
went farther than that. lie thought
he would play politics with his rather

in your SINFUL ways, for what you ask
is a matter OF utter impossibilty." "
Both laughed heartily and the nego-
tiations were dropped. The young
mans father died true to those pdliti-
cal principles which he had helped to
sustain during thewhole Of his long and
useful life, devoted untiringly to the
alienation Of the spiritual, mental and
physical suflerings of the fellOw-crea-
lures who surrounded him, and who
ever found in his a true friend and safe
