Mr.. Kipling has written Il long poem
for this new book. Stalky q Co.. which
will be published September 30. 1t has
very happy appropriateness as coming
out at the time Of Admiral Dewey's re-
turn, for it runs:
"I.pt us now praise famous men,,
Men of little showing,
For their work continueth
And their work continueth
Greater than their knowing.
This we learned from famous men
Knowing. not its uses
Man must finish off his work
Right or wrong, his daily work
And without excuses.
Servants of the staff and chain,
Mine and fuse and grapnel,
Some before the face of Kings.
Stand before the face of Kings;
Bearing gifts to divers Kings
Gifts Of Case and Shrapnel.
This we learned from famous men
Teaching in our borders,
Who declared it was best.
Safest. easiest and best
! Expeditions, wise and best
TO obey your orders.
1t looks now if Mr. Kipling's youth
full "Three Musketeers," "Stalky," Bee
tie" and ''AIcI'urk," would rival in
popularity the Soldiers Three, who
first made him famous: The Doubleday
& Mcclure Company announce that the
| first printing. though Of 10000 copies,
has been all taken up before publication
| and 10000 more are now in press.
The best parody Of the year is a take
off, on Kipling by Il. e. Kiser in the
Chicago I1nleS-lIerdlu. GeIdCIHS d Nciy
bright poem, he writes:
I'VE have just been favored with adj
vance sheets of Blackboard Dribbling
latest poem, which, as usual, will UNI
douhtedly be regarded as one of the
greatest productions of modern times:
All we have of monarehs-all we use or
know
We retain for keeping up puppet
show
On her throne unnoticed-happy and
serene
Drawing pay for nothing-sits our gra-
cious Queen.
So we have our sovereigns-not at little
cost
We retain our princes, but we won't
be bossedl
We will buy their fuel and their clothes
and feed,
| And huIrah if only they're the proper
breed.
| But we will not suffer people who can
claim
| No blue blood to enter In the royal
game!
| Here is naught unproven--here Is
