KIPLING'S POPULARITY.
The Famous Writer'S Remarkable
Faculty of Appealing to All
Classes of Readers.

1t has been generally suggested that
the workingman's enthusiasm for Kip
ling is due to the omnisciencc of this
writer of "a years; that the soldier re-
veres him for his knowledge of SOL
dier's work, pleasures and woes; that
the railroad man swears by him because
he understands so well how an engine
is built; that the sailor and the fisher
/ man, the public schoolboy, the city
clerk, the mechanic, find the fascina-
ton in his perfect acquaintance with
their life. No doubt this clinches the
charm, but certainly broader prin-
ciple underlies the popularity which
the poet and fictionist has won with the
masses. This is that he appeals to the
emotional side of his readers as well as
to the intellectual.
A man like Matthew Arnold, be he
never so great, finds himself, perhaps
with some approval, cut off from all but
| those readers in whom there is some
unusual degree of intellectual training
and refinement. Kipling masters such
readers, too, with his magnificent GER
tainty of phrase and healthful vigor,
and with his soul-stirring dramatic fac
ulty proceeds to capture the rest of the
world that knows better how to feel
than to think. Doubtless, too, his bril-
liantly early success as popular au-
thor is due very largely to his choice OF
subjects; to the vigorous launching OF
his genius into the topic of the hour,
the present problem of the nation.
Thus as good poem as 'The White
Mans Burden" might easily have been
unnoticed by the world at large had il
none of the tremendous public interest
which has brought utterance into the
mouths of millions of Americans.
Here Mr.. Kipling has in his poetic
work an advantage and danger analo
gous to those which are before thu
lesser singers of stage topical songs. A
palpable hit is certain to fetch thu
whole house; on the other hand, thu
populace is expectinga hit every time
and few performers can invariably
meet its demands. Mr.. Kipling seems
to be such an inevitable sort of fellow
that one is surprised even to hear tina
he ever writes things over twice befor
giving them to us. But he assures tn
rare and happy interviewer that mos
of what he writes goes into the waste
basket.-Review of Reviews.

A British Cruiser. Narrow Escape,

Her majesty's ship Eclipse narrowly
escaped the experience of the American
cruiser Maine during her stay at Bonn
bay recently. 1t appears that while the
officers were at dinner in the wardroom
an explosion occurred beneath them,
followed by sounds of numerous slight
err conclusions. The sounds were 10.
Gated in the shellroom of the 12-pound
er quick-fring gun. This was at once
flooded, and after pumping out the in
spection showed that three 12-poundei
shells from the top tier had exploded
the fragments being scattered all ovei
the room, though little damage wai
done to the room fittings or to Other
shells. These shells are of highly ex'
plosive character, but no others showed
signs of injury. A court of inquiry wal
ordered, but no information beyond
that already known was ELECTED, tho
only explanation of the mystery being
a theory of spontaneous explosion

The local or national titles attril,-

was illustrated the other day by a

in the regiment and said: "My good
man, what nationality do you belong

suppose your mother thought she had
every right to try and win your father.
He was not engaged to my aunt, you
know, and they say all is fair In love and
war. So think no more about it-and
we will never mention it again"
Gertrude never did mention it again,
but she thought about it many times;
and when Mr.. Foster brought his wife
home he found everything arranged to
his liking.
He had said to her: "The boys will be
all right, and if Gertrude does not treat
you well, let me know"
"Never, James," replied Mrs. Foster,
'for you might be tempted to tell her
the history of the years that are gone,
and children should reverence their
mothers memory, which l doubt if she
could, knowing it,"
| But there was no trouble. Gertrude
treated her stepmother with the utmost
respect and courtesy, and behaved in
such way that Mrs. Foster actually
dreaded the girls wedding day.
As she watched the carriage that con-
tanned her nephew and his bride drive
down the maple avenue, now resplend-
ent in its autumnal colorings, she
sighed-then turned toward her hus-
band, who was standing near. IL never

What a Joyous world we live In;
There's a song in every breeze
All the air Is full of music
Warbling birds and humming bees
We may sadly fail to hear them
II we open not our ears;
We may spend our time In listening
Only to the signs and tears.
What beauteous world we I'VE m
Flowers blooming all the year,
Waving palms and floods OF sunlight
Filling all the land with cheer.
We may sadly fail to see them
If we open not our eyes;
We may search alone for stormciouos
When We gaze into the skies.
What a happy world we live IN
Checkered though its scenes may re-
A thousand joys for every sorrow
Are in store for you and me,
We may sadly fail to see them
If we open not our hearts,
We may let them pass unheeded
Gathering only poison darts.
What a wondrous world we live In
FILLED with mysteries, forsooth.
Which intoxicate-enrapture-
AS we search for golden truth.
We may miss them, sadly miss them.
II we open not our souls,
If we are content to grovel
Down among the sands and shoals.
Let us not go blindly cropping
Through this glorious world Of ours.
Plucking only thorns and thistles,
Treading down the beauteous flowers;
Let's enjoy lifes every blessing
Gather all its glories in
Then, whate'er the future brings US.
Wen rejoice in having been.
