THE MAD MULLAH OF SWAT.

Scaling the peak of the highest hill,
Looking for somebody fit to kill.
Fierce were his warriors and fierce was ha

No one is on to his bloody scheme,

Something is gone that he wants brought

Kip!ing's Critics.

Mr.. Kipling's latest work Is q series
Of stories depicting English school boy
life. Like nearly everything he has
done it is being severely criticised. Bee
tie, Stallzy and McTurk, his heroes, are
making many friends, but likewise
many enemies. 1t seems Mr.. Kipling's
fate to have his poetry parodied and
his prose prObed. Against Stalky ct
al. the critics urge that the incidents
are trivial; that the boys are vulgar,
and that Mr.. Kipling, as their author,
is responsible for both the morals and
manners of his proteges. But this is
hardly fair. AS a matter of art the
only question involved is the accuracy
OF the characterization. If the normal
English school boy talks slang that is
brutally frank and makes war on the
masters and the surrounding farmers,
Mr.. Kipling is not to blame for paint
ing him as he is. Realism in art Is the
actual question in controversy. The
technique of the painter is not con-
denned if he adheres to the realistic
and not the ideal. The writer is en-
titled to the same consideration. His
taste in the selection of subjects is
matter for legitimate question: but be-
cause the material does not please the
treatment is not necessarily bad.
Admitting that the English lad Of the
public school is as MIR. Kipling paints
him. and this Is not questioned, the
adventures of Stalky ct al. are quite
as clever as the average Of Mr. Kip
ling's work. His characters are GER
tainly boys. not pretty dummies in
tailor-made clothes. A friend has said
that in depicting them Mr.. Kipling
has been renewing his own boyhood.
There are few men, however they may
condemn, who Will not do as much in
reading the narratives.

The Georgetown and Tenleytown Rail-

the snow. All day yesterday it was i'm
possible to run cars on schedule time and
the only way that cars could be run al all

Even by this manner ii was accomplished

cleared the way to Georgetown. A train
of three motors were run down immedi-

succeeded in getting through. The horses
and wagons travelling in the car tracks
fill the grooved rails with snow so that
at every trip the road has to be reopened.

Physicians Of this section say that the

sickness as any part of the District. Feb
ruary is generally the worst month in the
year for sickness, and the remarkable free

which are usually so prevalent at this time
of the wear is accounted for from the
fact that the weather has recently been
cold and snowy, thus driving away the ma

damp weather. The physicians to the poor
report gratifying decrease in the number
OF their patients, and say that about the
only trouble comes from colds. There is
no fear either among the people or the
physicians that there will be a spread of

A number Of people who have lived in
Georgetown for the past forty years and
Who have observed the weather closely

freshet when the snow melts are great.
They say that in number OF instances
when there has been heavy fall of snow

CoIumbia-4The Turtle"

When the curtains fell on the second act
of 1.-The Turtle" last night at the Column
bia Theatre silence reigned supreme for a
time. Either the big audience assembled
had expected more suggestiveness than it
had been given in the much advertised dis
robing scene or it had found the incident
more shocking than it had anticipated and
was breathless at the result OF its own
audacity. Morality is so much question
of birth and breeding that it would be difh-
cult to say which was the case. PROBABLY
the first reasoning was the more correct,
however An assembly that could laugh
at the more than -baneful lines interpolat-
ed through the farce should have no diff
Guilty in swallowing an episode that was
less daring than those perpetrated here
before, because more delicately and artisti-
caliy accomplished.
But unless one has a taste for the risque
that overbalances all other desires he can
hardly be advised to see 1.-The Turtle" The
play has been so evidently written for the
sole purpose of exploiting sensational
incident and the lewdity has so appar-
emily been intentional that the average per-
son will merely be disgusted despite the
cleverness with which the cast glosses over
and yet betrays the dangerous lines and
occurrences OF the story. Outside of this
quality there is nothing whatever in the
piece. Its plot is pointless and dull, and,
while many of its phrases are bright and
some of its business diverting, there is
nothing about the effort that makes it pos
sible through dramatic worth.
The company employed in the produc-
tion is admirable. w. J. Ferguson, whose
art lies in the fact that he always knows
! just how far to go in the lightness of his
| labors, contributes a clever portrayal,
while Sadie Martinot wears some costly
! lingerie and exhibits it with due care and
considerable grace. Mike" Kennedy. well
