KipIing Made Its Fortune

A paper issued at HorsemOndon school
in England, for which Kipling wrote a let
ter on the offer of two shillings for 1000
words, has jumped into prosperity. No
- of the Budget contained Kipling's let
ter, and, as the boys all bought extra copies
to send home, the first edition was soon
exhausted. The editors were "all prmmed
up with majestic pride, and, whenever a
leisure hour came, adjourned to a secluded
spot and counted the profits on the num-
Der of copies sold
They didn't yet realize what greatness
was to be thrust upon them; but in the
course of few days letters began coming
in from kipling's enthusiasts, who made a
point of collecting everything written by
him, and had heard of the Jolly letter in
the Budget. The youthful editors We're
surprised but the business possibilities of
the situation were not lost upon them and
they agreed to crafty MI Kipling's ad-
mirers at slight advance upol the usual
price of the periodical.
Now No. Is of the Budget is selling for
seven shillings siXpence, instead of a pen
ny. The editors are rolling in wealth and
standing treat with prodigal generosity.
Their pictures have been published in sew
eral Of the English magazines, and their
Budget is famous throughout the length
and breadth of the land.

TIE TYLER ESTATE.
Question as 10 the Payment of Note
of $4,000.

There was hearing in the probate Of
flee Saturday before Judge Waterman rel
alive to the settlement of the estates of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. f. A Tyler. a petit
tion was brought by l.. +. Adams and
Erastus Tyler, administrators of the es-
tate OF MI Tyler, asking for settlement
OF Mrs. Tyler's estate by G. B. Hit, ad-
ministrator, and petitions were brought by
Mr.. Hit and the Peoples National bank
asking Tor settlement of Mr.. Tyler's es-
tate. All these petitions were heard.
The matter at issue was a debt owing to
the Peoples bank to the amount of $1,000.
Before the death of Mrs. Tyler she Dor
rowed money at the bank on notes which
amounted to $1,000 and the proceeds of
which were had by Mr. Tyler. The notes
were afterwards increased and consolidated
into one note of $1,000, which was signed
by Mrs Tyler. Mrs, Tyler put up her
stock as collateral. Nj. Tyler insisted
upon signing the note as surety, stating TO
Cashier Bracket that the note was for
him to pay.
Mr.. Hit, acting for Mrs. Tyler's estate
claimed that he was unable to settle the
estate until Mr.. Tyler's estate had paid
whatever portion of the note it could, so
that he could know what balance should
be paid by Mrs. Tyler's estate.
The administrators of Mr.. Tyler's estate
claimed that that estate was entitled to a
distributive share of Mrs. Tyler's estate
and that therefore her estate should be
settled first.
The court directed that the admnistra-
tors OF both estates should be ready for
final settlement the last Saturday in Au-
gust, but the question of which shall be
settled first has not been decided
