from S. l.. Clemens Mark Twain) a
letter of thanks for criticism, written
several months ago. in which Dr.

Vienna Mr.. Clemens in his reply
says:
Il am glad you praised Kipling. He
deserves it. 1t is marvellous, the work
which that boy has done. The more
you read the Jungle Books the more
wonderful they grow. But Kipling
himself does not appreciate them as
he ought. He read Tom Sawyer a
couple of times when he was coming
up out of his illness and said he would
rather be the author of that book than
of any that has been published during
its lifetime. Now, could have chosen

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Mr.. Sherman's Story--He Understood,
But Mark Twain on Rud-
yard <ipIing.

While in congress Mr.. Sherman
made very little reputation as humor-
list, but a flash of mother wit on one
occasion brought him out of an I'M
pleasant position with much credit.
The occurrence was early in Mr.. Sher
mans career. 1t was when he went
to Kansas, member of a congress
sional committee to investigate the
conditions there preceding the civil
war, says the Washington correspond
ent of the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat
The southerners We're trying to intro
duce slavery, while ''the liberty loving
sons of Massachusetts" were practic-
ing expansion with sharp rifles and
abolition tracts. The presence of Mr.
Sherman and the committee was re-
sented by the southerners, who threat
ened personal violence. What hap
pened on the occasion referred to is
told in Mr., Sherman's own words:
Zone day men entered the room
and began to swear at the committee.
He abused it in the most profane man
ner and he was evidently spelling for
a fight. We had a stenographer with
US, and as soon as the man began to
talk | made motion to him to take
down his words He did so, and after
the ruffian had gone on for about ten
minutes / called a halt and told him
that he had made himself liable to ar
rest. | thereupon asked him if he
knew what he had been saying and
called upon the stenographer to read
his notes. Shorthand was then I'M
known in the west, and as the man
heard his exact words his jaw fell, his
face paled and he asked the amanuen-
sis to let him see the paper 1t was
shown to him. He looked at it for
moment, and then frantically tearing
his hair, he exclaimed, Snakes, by
C9sarn and rushed from the room.
We did not see him again during the

Not the Queen,s Portrait.

A captain in British regiment sta
toned in Natal, when paying his COM
pany one day, CHANGED to give a man
a Transvaal half crown, which bears
the image of President Kruger. The
man brought it back to the pay table
and said to his captain, please, sir,
you've given me bad half crown"
The officer took the coin and with
out looking at it, rang it on the table
and remarked: 1T sounds all right,
Bagster What's wrong with it?"
'You look at it. sir" was the reply
The captain glanced at the coin, say
ing; "It's all right, man. 1t win pass
in the canteen."
This satisfied Bagster, who walked
off, making the remark. IF you says
it's alright, sir it is Alright, but it's the
first time I've seed the queen wi
whiskers on"
