Rudyard Kipling has written poem en-
titled ''The White mans Burden" evi.
IDENTIFY called forth by the colonial devel
opment of the United States. 1t appears
in the February issue of McClure's Maya
zine, although the editors did not receive
the poem until after the Magazine was or
the press. The frontispiece was taken
out, and the poem was printed in its place
The poem is not only important, but is Of
considerable length, and we are permitted
to give some extracts fromit.
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On t1uttered folks and wild
Your new caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads We shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
\ 4
By all ye will or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
