gun-barrel, the instant after it has
been fred off. This idea is sup
ported by the meaning Of the
words "iron shard." By consult
ing Webster's unabridged, it will
be found that "shard" is an old
English word, well nigh gone out
of use, meaning a fragment of some
earthen, or metallic, capsule like a
washpot. or bombshell. From the
whole circumlocution, we infer
that the poet is vainly endeavor-
ing to say, "a capnon which has
just fred off a bombshell;" the
latter of course having "busted"
somewhere as it went.
But the absurdity here: The
heather" is not in the habit OF
putting any "trust' at all in an
empty gun or an exploded shell;
he must have it we'll charged be-
fore he can begin to rely upon it
for safety. Besides, the word
tube" is altogether too diminu.
tive in Specification to convey ade-
quately the idea of big navy gun.
Think of Admiral Sampson going
at the Spanish feet with nothing
more formidable than a "tube!"
1t itr. Kipling had written the
"Charge of the Six Hundred" in
stead of Mr.. Tennyson, in his
mania for exquisiteness, he would
doubtless have bad it thus:
Tubes on the right, and tubes on
the left, squirted and sputtered."
False syntax, we admit, is,
ameng poets, but little thing;
but there never was but one author
N the English language (Shakes-
oeare) that could indulge in the
Use of it without damage to his
composition. The line,
THE tumult and the shouting dies"
8 a stain upon his style which,
hough it may not necessarily i'm J
beach his knowledge of English
grammar, nevertheless speaks {
erious i'll of his,poetic manner.
His style is further marred by !,
he use of unfamiliar and obsolete {
Vords when words in good use are
qually available. Upon what !
rinciple of good taste, did the '
oct, in speaking Of the low land
long the sea shore, prefer to call 5
"dune'' instead of "down"? =
After all, Mr.. Kipling may il
ave indeed written some good =,
oems; what we mean to say here q
only that his "Recessional" is fc
ot one of them.

KIPLING'S 'RECESSIONAL'
Friendly Criticism ofQueen's
Jubilee Poem.
EDIroR CH1EFTAIs:-

hudyard hlpling, autnor anu poet,
awakens for him deep sympathy
and anxious interest, especially in
literary circles. On the principle
that nothing but the good should
be remembered of one in the mo-
ment of adversely and death, criti-
cisn seems much inclined just now
to throw down the knife, and al
low anything that he may -eyer
have written to pass as meritorious
literature.
A friend OF ours, good literary
critic, said to US few days ago,
4'Have you read Mr.. Kipling's lit
tie poem of recent date entitled
'Recessional'?" mo" said l. II
do not, in general, think much of
Mr.. Kipling's poetry" "Ahl you
are of, them" he said; "for Kip
ling is rapidly coming to be looked
upon as Sbakespear ii. in English
literature. and 'RecessionaP is
claimed by many good critics to be
the finest gem of poetry the nine
teenth century has produced"
The poem referred to consists of
five verses of six lines each; it be-
gins thus:
"God of our father. known of old"
This, it must be admitted, is a
very good beginning for solemn
invocation to the Deity; but it is
not all original, nor does it suggest
to the mind of the reader the act
i've presence of any remarkable
poetic genius; it is just the address
that may be heard any time in a
good old fashioned Methodist pray !,
or meeting; and there doubtless is
where the poet got it.
But the next line is wretched:
Lord of our far-fung battle line
This line lacks as much in re-
spect to the grace of originality as
the preceding "The God of bat
tie" is an idea as old as Homer's
1liad and the Hebrew scriptures.
II is true, the new form itself into
which an old idea may sometimes
be twisted, if the work be well
done, may possibly have sufficient
merit about it to save the poet
from the disgrace of servile imita-
ton. But in this kind of literary
trickery, Mr.. Kipling has here not
been very fortunate. The word
!" Lord" is used here instead of
"'God" evidently to avoid objec- {
+tionable tautology; it is done, how
ever, at great sacrifice of poetic
effect. By collating the two a
phrases, "The Lord of battle" and i
''the God of battle, y it will be per-
ceived at once that the latteris the b
grander, and much more forceful P
expression. il
But this is not all; instead Of let n
ling the Supreme Deity remain
,loft upon the top of Olympus,
where Homer places Him, or high
Up in the third heaven. according N
o the notion Of the Hebrew poet, Of
hence directing mighty armies and n,
lisposing of victories by the mere fo
Drce Of the divine will, Mr.. Kip. in
ling brings him down to earth, in
nd sets him to work like some So
tile militarysubalturn laboriously 70
ontriving and fixing up "line" or
battle. Degrading to the idea Ii
deity and therefore unpoetic. "a
In the last verse we have these az a.
nes: ri
''Ror heatben heart that puts its trust an
n reeking tube and iron shard." etc. NJ
NoH, it is hard to tell in what
'nse the poet intends the words,
reeking tube" here TO be taken. =

JUAB'S NEW OFFICERS.
All Installed and Deputies Already
Confirmed
(special Correspondence.l


Nephi, Jan. 5.-The county commission
ers finished up the work of their initial
session yesterday afternoon. The old
board Of commissioners held a short ses-
sion on Monday morning, mainly to re-
celve the report of w. A. G. Bryan, who
mad been engaged to audit the books of
the several county offices, but as Mr..
Bryan had not completed the work he
made a verbal report and some suggeS-
tons from his notes and was instructed
TO make flnal report TO their SUCCESSORS.
At noon the retiring officials vacated their
famillar places at the table where they
nave sat SO long and often. through calm
ana storm, during the past two years,
and the new board at once proceeded to
organize by electing Commissioner
Houghton Of Mona chairman.
The matter of transfer from old to new
was entirely formal and devoid of senti-
mental features The fact that Chairman
Kirkendal of the retiring board succeeds
himself as one of the new board made
any explanation of the county's affairs
unnecessary, and the new officers at
once got down to routine work. The sal
airy list and usual batch of claims were
taken up and disposed of and necessary
appropriations made, after which it was
ordered that the several county officers
should hand in the names of those select
ed as their deputies at the next session,
after which they took an adjournment
hnul the Following morning, and con-
CALCULATIONS were in order
Inc consideration of the names of those
presented for subordinate positions occu-
pied most of the entire day Tuesday, but
the matter was finally disposed of and
the following were confirmed: In the
county recorders office, Henry Adams,
chief deputy, and Misses Pearl McCune
and Elite Foote as additional deputies;
James n. Louder as deputy to County
Clerk Grover, James Garrett as chief dep
uty to the assessor and l.. c. Lee and
{. NJ. Green additional deputies. d. B.
Cronin was billed to serve another two
years as deputy to Sheriff Christensen
and w. 4. (. Bryan will act as deputy
county treasurer and assistant county at
torney. George Blackett was appointed
county tree inspector and DR.. G. j. Field
county physician. The matter of appoint
ing road supervisors was not disposed of
fully and went over until the February
meeting.
A thorough review of the county's
financial affairs and the needs of the diff
terent sections was fully discussed. and
II was decided that a court house and Jail
should at once be provided for Silver
City. Numerous suggestions were made
covering the betterment of the roads to
the growing mining camps in the western
part of the county. and Commissioner
Thomas was requested to examine into
the matter and report later
The new commissioners bid fair to give
the people of this county thorough bust
ness administration of affairs, and win
exact economy and faithful and eff
flcient performance of official duties from
all the county officers.

The colt became frightened and surged

throwing him to the ground. The rope.
during the fall, became coiled around one

loose by the plunging horse. The fright

general stampede before he was finally
brought to a halt by men on horseback.

HAvERcAMP's DILEMMA.
Awkward Position Occupied By Utah
County Clerk.
Correspondence.J

Provo, Jan. 4.-County Clerk Haver-
camp was today, to use his own express
sion, 'in a. heluvafix." And it all arose
over a technical point of law arising out
of the payment of the $500 attorneys fees
in the late Hines divorce suit. Some time
ago Mr.. Hines learned that Salt Lake
law firm held a judgment of $500 against
NJ. NJ. Kellogg. one of Mrs. Kitty Hines
counsel. and IN favor of Z. L. Schmidt.
Mr.. Hines bought this judgment and
with it in his pocket and the sheriff right
behind him with garnishment, went to
the clerk and paid the 500 as ordered by
the court as attorney fees. The sheriff
Immediately served the clerk with a
garnishment for the payment of Kellogg
part of the $40, ana another to restrain
the money.
The clerk did some tall thinking and
finally decided that he should turn the
money over TO Mrs Hines, This he did
this afternoon. Whichever way he acted
he realized that he had a suit on his
hands. BY turning the money over to
Mrs. Hines he is liable for paying out
money legally attached. If he had not
done so he might have been sued for
failing to perform his duty as clerk. The
order was that the money be paid Mrs.
Hines as attorneys fees The result of
his action remains to be seen. AS ii is,
he expects suit to be brought against
him.
