No Long-DistaDce Wooer

Rudyard Kipling's maternal grand
father was Rev. George e. Macdonald.
1t is related of him that in the days
when he was counting the lady whom
he afterward married the father-in-law-
to-be-an aged Methodist, with ex.
tremely strict notions in regard to the
properties-was injudicious enough on
one occasion to enter the parlor without
giving any warning of his approach.
The consequence was that he found the
sweethearts occupying a single chair.
Deeply shocked by this spectacle, the
old man solemnly said: "Mr. Macdon-
aid, when was counting Mrs. Brown
she sat on one side of the room and I
on the other" Macdonald's reply was:
That's what should have done IL !
had been counting Mrs. Brown"
