mate interest Enough that this slight
series of appreciations should deal with
such facts of public interest as may be
properly accredited, and such report as
may have a possible bearing upon the
work of the head and hand of this strong
man. From 1892 to 1896 Mr.. Kipling lived
chiefly in the United States, building him
self a home among the Green Mountains
at Brattleboro, Vt, residing there until
he returned to England. In 1898 he sailed
for Cape Town, South Africa, accom-
panied by his family, returning during the
autumn, and taking up his abode at Rot
tingdean, on the south coast of England.
His next journey was to America in jan
uary. 1899, en- route. it was said, to Mexico.
Mr.. Kipling. it is thus seen, has been a
great traveller, and it is by this means
possibly that the full vigor of a naturally
strong and virile brain gives out only its
best. We have in Mr.. Kipling, as evinced
by his works. true eXemplff1caton of
