OUT AND ABOUT.

DR.. NJ. H. Small of Clark University
entertained the College Club and a
large number Of the friends of the
members yesterday evening, at the
clubs room In the Day building, with
reading from the poems of Rudyard
Kipling. Although the poems chosen
were, many Of them, from among the
less known of Mr.. Kipling's poetical
work, and included several of the
sllghter poems, the program, as a
whole, was decidedly impressive, being
rendered in an intellectual and highly
9rpreciative manner.
DR.. Small prefaced his reading ex-
pressive of his deep and constantly
deepening admiration for Kipling's
verse, which he considered superior to
his prose. Kipling, he said, was the
most significant figure in English lit
erature today. But slightly tinged with
the pessimism of Tennyson, he did not
look into the gloom as Tennyson did
with increasing age; neither had he
the immense intellectual depth of
Browning. Although he is called a
realist-an egregious idealist-in reality
he is the most idealistic writer Of the
day.
DR.. Small began his reading with
Camp Royal" which he thought gave
a good Introductory notion of Kip
ling's character. From this he passed
on to some Of the earlier poems f
pure fun, then to the more serious, of
which the STORY OF Uriah" and the
imperial Rescript' We're types. PA

centrated his scorn of the Englishmen

said that he thought it contained
Browning's Andrea del Sarto'-a DO
EN- Of about 400 lines-concentrated in
80 lines. After the soaring, vicious
satlre OF this famous poem, he read,
'Springtime" and THE Answer" which
he characterized as two of the sweetest
and tenderest poem in the language.

cred more significant Of Kipling as the

count of how the Indians prepare for
food a plant that is commonly called
Indian lettuce. 1t viii be recalled that

red ant. and that acid was first OBJ
tanned from the insect.
The Placer county Indians greedily
eat the succulent leaves and stems of
their lettuce" Their way of prepar-
ing the plant for food is novel Gath
ering the leaves, they lay these about
the entrances to the nests of certain
large red ants The ants. swarming
out, run all over the plants After n
time the Indians shake the ants off
the leaves, satisfied that the lettuce
now has a pleasant sour taste, equaling
that which might be given it by vine
gar.
