KIPLING,s PECuLIARITIEs.
His Aversion to Being Interviewed
DniIY Life at BrattIebOrO.

Kipling's aversion to being interviewed IS
well known, and some amusing stories are
told of the way in which he has circumvent-
ed reporters. One newspaper man wrote
to him as follows: Personally, 1 am not
in the least interested in the matter and
am very unwilling to annoy you, but thou
sands Of the people who buy your books
are anxious to know something more about
you tina they nave been able to CLEAN from
your writings" The reply was terse enough.
It ran: Dear Sir-I regret that it is i'm
possible to give you the interview which
your paper desires"
The astonishing thing about this epistle,
said a friend of Kipling's, was that it had
been written at all. Two other journalists
went to Brattleboro one summer to get an
interview if they could. and they drew up IN
advance an elaborate list of questions. On
the way to Kipling's house they met him.
One planted himself in front of the writer
and the other edged around TO cut off his
retreat. They began to explain their bus
mess, only to be interrupted with a most
vigorous protest against their behavior,
which Kipllng likened to highway robbery.
In the midst of his speech one OF the two
inquisitors asked. Mr.. kipllng, are any
happenings" The author was dumfound-
ed, but instantly saw the humor of the sit
uation and burst into laughter as he made
his escape.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2Z-The consolidation

teams will leave for the South about March
20, Brooklyn going to Augusta and the ORR
oles to Macon Most of the representatives
OF the twelve clubs are here to attend the

row and last probably until Saturday. as
questions of great moment, including the
81. Louis dispute, will have to be acted
upon. That Frank DeHaas Robinson. of
the Cleveland Club, will secure the St. Louis
franchise seems to be generally aconceded.
None OF the magnateS will so on record as
TO whether the circuit will be reduced to
less than twelve clubs for the coming year.

twelve-club schedule is adopted, q circuit of
q less number of clubs may be found neces-

just reached here from Hope, Ark, of an

a late hour tonight the whites are preparing
to burn the culprit at the stake. This news

The feeling people here have shown since
Rudyard Kipling fell III has moved som
friends who have seen 8 great deal of
him during this visit to talk Interestingly
about him. They wish to clear away an old
misunderstanding. 1t seems that nothing
has ever distressed Mr.. Kipling more than
the general impression prevailing here and
in England that he dlslikes the American
people. 1t is utterly untrue. His chief OBJ
ject in coming to America this time,
his friends say, was to efface that false
impression. He was willing to do any
thing he could, write anything he could
10 show his real feelings for the fellow
countrymen of his wife; to show that he
was not the 'bloomin' bludgeon" they took
him for. The man IS bored by formal go
ing out. yet he offered to dress every night
or his visit 10 meet any people whom he
could make his friends.

with a power over words that he was ac-
customed to let cut freely; The running
glimpse of American life afforded the
young genius an opportunity which he
must have been a dozen years older to have
neglected. He wrote a volume of amaz-
ing notes which the mass OF readers who
are by no means amazing IN their literary
UNDERSTANDING, swallowed seriously--and

Mr.. kipltng's sin pursues him. He meets
this hard-headed misconception of his real
position and sympathy; he is hard put TO

prejudice.
People who are impatient for greater
work from the man who reached almost at
a leap an. extraordinary level, and who,
they say. has done no more in half a
dozen years than maintain that level will
be interested in this opinion of his own.
Mr.. klpltng says that no man can write a
real novel until he is forty. Up to that
time the artist must be willing to do lesser
Things, practice smaller effects. pay more
attention to detail than it apparently de-
serves, and wait for the power of the
mass. By and by that will come; the artist
will write a novel that is big with the
larger facts of life. handled in a large way.
When Mr.. Kipling does write his novel It
will be something elemental. something al
most primeval. Mary Pity Women" and
without Benefit of Clergy may together
furnish the theme. and for setting and char
acters the new novel will almost surely
contain, writ large" the Englishman and
&ndian woman, and their story, all of it.
