I CHANGED to be at Nottingham upon
! met a fellow Mason there and gave the
man the grip;
'What no." / said, my Rudyard!" But
his look was cold as snow:
my name, you ought to understand he
said, is Brother joe"
o it's Rudyard this, and Kipling that,
with poems, tales and such,
And Rudyard Kipling is name that
can't be known too much.
o it's Rudyard this, and Kipling that,
with any writing dodge,
But it's Brother Joseph Kipling when
he joins blooming lodge.
I went into library to get a book to
read.
The man behind the counter said; What
is it, sir, you need?'
Il want, / said, the latest thing that
Joseph Kipling's done.
Go on he said, you're having me. Joe
Kip? there isn't one!'
o it's Brother Joe, and Joseph, when
insignias are out
And knives and forks are busy and the
bottle goes about.
Its Brother Joe from India" where'er
the Masons throng.
But 1t Rudyard kipling only, when he
writes a blooming song.

Horticultural hall was about half
filled last night at the second violin re-

who has taken - lessons; Miss Myrtle
Lawton, who has studied violin" ten
months or, to be precise, taken 40 les
sons, and Philias Gendron, who has
been studying with Mr.. Cloutier one
year, and attempted the snowy Scene
de ballet" by De Beriot. Mary Ann
Roberts, Alcede Gendron, Myrtle Law
ton, Emile Dufresne, William Thomas
Philias Gendron and Leonard Hamel
played the "Intermezzo' from "Cavel-
leria Rusticana," with cello and piano
accompaniment. The effect was quite
