fiction that has been going the rounds
for eeveral years as Kipling ancedote
has just been denied by his father.
According to this story Mr.. Kipliug,
senior, and his son went on q sailing
voyage together when Rudyard hip

sick in his cabin when an officer ap-
peared and said:
"Mr. Kipling, your son has climbed
out on the foreyard. and il he lets 90
he will surely be drowned, and we can
not save him."
"Oh, is that ans" said Mr.. KipGng.
"Don't worry. He won't let CO."
Mr.. Kipling, senior, is quoted by an
English paper as saying:
"The only time that made voy-
age with Rudyard was whom he was

Dover and Calais, going to the Paris

At the session OF the New York Legis-

important measures TO be passed upon
will be primary law for cities Of the
first and second class. The proposed
law will provide for the Strengthening
OF regular organizations. both Republi-
can and Democratic, and Will declare
penalty against those who pad" rolls.
and those who have anything to do with
classifying the results Of primaries. In
other words, the new primary law is TO
be as rigorous as the election laws of the
state. and under this new primary law
the cities are to pay the expenses Of pri-
mar-es. just as those cities now pay cleo
ton expenses.

Personal PROPERTY.

Senator Barksdale has introduced a
bill providing for the calling of inqilsl-
torial grand juries to correct the errone-
Gus assessments OF personal property.
We have not seen the details OF the
measure, but we hope It covers all spe-
cies Of personal proporty-horses, cattle,
farming implements. and crops. az well
as bonds. stocks. notes. and other evil
dences Of debt.
No doubt much personal property es-
cepes taxation. but let It be searched for
diligently. and in the country as we'll as
I'm the towns. IL our laws on this sub
ject are to be amended. let it be done 80
as to bear equally upon every part OF
the Commonwealth and every class OF
our population. quite likely Judge Barks-
dale has framed his bill upon this theory.
If so. It will be entitled to very earnest
consideration. indeed.
