KIPLING AS A REPORTER.
"YOu Have Genius" Remarked the
City Editor, "But-" ana
Let Him. 90.

It 10 not kind Of the San Francisco
editor who rejected "The Courting of
Dinah Shadd." says q writer in LesIie's
Weekly, to recall that he based his re-
fusal on the ground that the story was
scarcely equal to the standard of merit
demanded by the magazine" Those
were the days when Kipling was q
struggling reporter. - .
In this connection there is recalled
the story Of Kipling's third and last as
signment to a news story. A big in
surnnce fraud had been unearthed and
exposed by the paper to.which KiplinR
was attached. Kipling was assigned to
get "second-day story" on the man
chiefly involved in the frauds. and who
was not yet arrested. Late in the after
noon he walked into the Office with facts
sufficient to justify a .three-column-
space allowance. But somehow his own
personality persisted in obtruding itself
into the facts. and he presently drifted
into n scnthing satire on the offender,
written in the inimitable pen which has
since made him famous. t..,....
The city editor counted exactly Is
libel suits and about half a million dol.
lars in damages in that story. and next
morning Mr.. Kpling was reuue ST ed to
transfer his operations to another field.
Said the editor, IN bidding him good-by:
"Hou haye,genius. You will some day
make "A great name, though may not

TIL T H PAs III
The Officers are Arrngng a Through
Train Service
MATTERS BEING AGREED TO.

The Utah and Pacific Will Arrang
Things So That They Can Handl
all Business Satisfactorily,
AS the Utah & Pacific is almost
completed to the State line, its Off
cials have opened negotiations with
the Short Line for future rates and
connections. The former company
has already issued its preliminary
freight tariff and yesterday made an
announcement of reduced passenger
fares. The latter rates will be as fol
lows; Between Milford and Lund
$3.50, round trip 1925. Between
Milford and Modena $500, round
trip $3.50.
As is the case with all nearly CON
structed lines the freight and passen
ger tariffs first issued are based on
the mileage, and are but experiment
tai at best. What the Utah & Paci-
fic is now desirous of having settled
are the through rates between Ogden
Salt Lake and other Short Line
points to Lund, Modena and Utah &
Pacific points. General Traffic
Manager S. w. Eccles of the Short
Line explained yesterday that this
would be done and through mail SER
vice established as soon as possible.
What the rates will be the official
could not say, but they will be the
best that can be given. The termin-
us will be twenty-five miles from Pi
oche, sixty miles from DeLamar and
forty-one miles from st. George, and
the Inauguration of through service
will be great boon to the people of
these sections.
Based on road mileage the sum of
the local rates on the two roads make
the present rates from Salt Lake to
Stateline $1.23 on 1st, $1.14 on End,
$1.09 on 3rd, $1.03 on 4th, and SO
cents on 9Th.
For road traversing a new and
desert country these rates are very
fair. The distance is 313 miles, Salt
Lake to Stateline and 81 65 has been
considered fair rate on first class,
according to published distance tar
ifs. First-class rates are not good
examples, however, class A rate
foots up to SO cents only.
What the Utah & Pacific wishes to
accomplish is to have through tar
if published from Ogden and Salt
Lake to points on its line slightly
below the range of figures now in
effect by adding the local rates. Its
effort will be to obtain some arbitrary
from the Short Line covering its di-
vision of the through rates and have
the rates named ut such a figure
that will insure the road all traffic
from its tributary country, prevent
ing teaming to Milford.
1t will also be the effort of the new
company to obtain through rates 10
any point for local shippers in the
far south, which will encourage and
foster new industries in that location.
All these matters will take some
weeks, but the officials, already start
ing to that end, expect to have
through service arranged by the time
the road reaches the terminus and
all freight rates lined up by the COM
mencement of wool shipments and
heavy summer traffic. Tribune.

From the New York Press.
Tad, the lovely gray kitten belong
ing to Miss Annie Somer of 424 West
Forty-eighth street, caught his first
and last mouse yesterday morning.
The achievement resulted in call for
the police and a fire patrol and the
death of poor Tad, after lot Of brisk
Cannonading. Tad, after playing with
the mouse in the parlor, with the
Somer family as spectators, became
careless and let the little captive es-
cape through a hole near the fire.
place.
Tad was dazed for a moment. Then
he became frantic with humiliation and
rage. He tore around the room, ripping
up the rugs, dragged down the cur
tains and jumped clear over tables and
chairs in a vain search for that mouse.
Mrs. Somer and her daughter began to
scream and ran into rear room, clos
ing the door between them and the
crazed kitten, who was bowling like a
ceilarful of cats.
BY the time Patrolman Hammer of
the West Forty-seventh street police
station responded to the neighbors' call
for help Mrs, Somer and her daughter
were locked up in a bedroom and Tad
had the rest of the house to himself.
Hammer chased the kitten. which not
only seemed to have nine lives, but
also that each of these lives was in q
hit the kitten with his billy the police
man struck about everything else in
the room.
TN AK him." said Hammer: only
you two stop screaming. 1t makes a
man nervous
He then got a clothesline and threw
the loop at the kitten, which was
clawing down a valuable portisre. The
loop missed Tad, but made a great hit
with table lamp. The next throw
knocked a clock off the mantel and
curio stand followed, Then, over the
transom, Mrs.. Somer asked the police
man to please go away. Hammer was
angry by that time, and, drawing his
pistol. he took deadly aim and sent a
ball crashing through a mirror. The
next shot perforated a lot of china
plates and the third tore yard of
plaster off the side Of the wall.
Then, in the dense smoke, Tad ran
into the fourth shot and was killed.
Hammer went out in the street and
drove the crowd away, saying ii was
only d cat. But it might as well have
been an elephant, from the wreck that
was left behind.
