In the Pie Belt.

Up in New England, especially in the
more remote sections, they have queer
ideas as to what constitutes breakfast.
AS general thing glass of cold milk
and a piece of cake or pie are considered
quite the proper thing. Last season
Arthur Hoops, who plays Rupert in
Rupert of Hentzau, was member of a
theatrical company which played one
night in Bellows Falls, VT. Hoops got
down to the hotel breakfast long after
the meal had been concluded. The
dishes had been cleared away, but the
actor sought out the proprietor and asked
if it were not possible to get something
to eat, explaining that he was not
particular what it might be. The reply
of his host is worth recording, for he

and ncighbors thought prosecution
would be justifiable. Humane people
were glad that much interest against
cruelty in Middl ebury was shown-very
glad you thought it worthy place in
your paper. The humane subject has
long been agtated in our state, but few
people seem to show interest in it. We
need help from the pulpit and press. and
why not have it as well as for other or
ganizations. 1t surely ought to be con-
sidered as worthy as any protecting the
defenceless, the poor abused dumb
creatures. that have no power to tell the
wrongs they receive from man. Our
civilized people should hold a higher
position than treating them as they often
do. The few humane society people in
the state try to keep the subject alive by
holding annual meetings. Last year one
was held in Burlington 1t was quite an
encouraging meeting. Ministers attend
ed, the w. G. 7. Union were there with
heart in,the work, but we have heard very
little from them since. 1t seems to me
that ministers should preach upon the
subject and editors should often mention
it in their papers. | trust sometime a
humane society meeting will be held in
Middlebury and perhaps arouse more of
an active interest In the cause. Can you
not help us in this grand an noble work
| ask it through heart aching for the
poor abused creatures.

A VermOnter Sues Kipiing.


A Brattleboro despatch says: Beatty
Balestier admitted in an interview at his
home, four miles from Brattleboro, that
suit is to be brought by him in New York
against his world famous brother-in-law.
Rudyard Kipling. The sum named will
not be less than $4,000 He expressed
the greatest surprise that any statement
had appeared in regard to the suit, as it
was his understanding with his attorneys
in New York that proceedings were not
to begin until next week. He would not
state the exact grounds on which dam
ages would be claimed, but intimated on
false charge and SANDER. Mr.. Balestier
said this suit was the continuance of the
case between Mr.. Kipling and himself
which was brought into court in May,
1896. He stated that Kipling had him
arrested at that time, that at hearing
before local justice he was placed under
bonds to keep the peace, and bound over
to the September term of court. The
case was never brought to trial, Mr..
Kipling leaving this country in August,
and returning only two weeks ago. Mr..
Balestier says he begged and imploTed
that the case be brought to trial, but
as it was left, the only version known to
thinking men was the one given by Mr..
Kipling. The complaint alleged that
Balestier broke the peace by making an
assault on Kipling with force and arms !:
that he called Kipling opprobrious and
indecent names, and threatened to kill
him. Kiplng's testimony was in line
with the complaint.
