the canned roast beef was not such a
ration as should have been served to men

taken thus far, and 1t has not been prov

proved beyond the shadow Of a doubt,

keep for seventytwo hours.

that he knows almost everything that Is
worth knowing. You know that he lived
with his family on the old Balestier farm
about two miles outside of Brattleboro,
VT. for about three years. and only left
there about eighteen months ago. His
wife was a Miss Balestier, and the farm
was a beautiful place.
II visited Brattleboro just after he
came there, and. Of course was curious
to see Kipling, as L mad heard so much
about him. ] was walking down the
main street one day and saw Kipling
coming toward me. I recognized him at
once from his published portraits. and
besides, the friend who was with mo
pointed him out to me.
HE was dressed In a bicycle suit and
came swinging along at an easy gait.
Just ahead of me there was little Chi
nese laundry. and the Chinaman was
standing in the doorway. When Kfplfng
reached him he addressed the Chinaman
in Chinese and began rafting CONVEX
sation with him in that language. The
Chinaman gave a gasp of surprise. but
answered him, and in few minutes Kip
ling had him smiling from ear to ear, and
both of them were jabbering away in
Chinese faster than a horse could trot.
II understood afterward that every
time Kipling came to town he stopped
for a chat with the Chinaman The Ce-
lestial would never tell the wondering
neighbors what Kipling talked about, and
when he was asked only replied: Him

The tin plate trust, the lustiest and
hungriest of our Infant industries, has
not learned the wise prudence Of the
older trusts that puts a severe check
upon rapacity and avoids antagonism
with public opinion by contenting them
selves with small unit profits upon great
aggregates of product. 1t has scrupulous-
ly taken to itself every inch of vantage
given 1t either under the Mckinley, the
German or the Dingley act. It's price
has except for occasional brief spasms of
competition, been the cost of the foreign
plate with tariff, freight, insurance and
commission added. The trust has been
pushing up prices until now the net price
is 81 a box, making an advance of SIZE a
box since it began to apply the screws.
This is above the import cost, and this
trust may find, when it is forced to come
down to the ground, that the surface is
pre-empted by imported plate.
