A LITTLE KIPLING.

Today We'll have a little Kipling.
Anybody can write Kipling with q
little practice. All you need is re-
cruit, a drill master, and a strainer.
The strainer is to strain out the "h's."
It's possible to write Kipling poems
without the strainer, but it's safer to
strain the poem after you've got it
finished, for frequently you overlook
an "h" and find it in the strainer after
ward. Now here's a Kipling poem
that was written in about three min
utes this morning. It's the drillmas-
ter's sOliliquy on the recruit:
'E's bloomin', blinkin' rookie as e
stands,
Ell never learn 'ow e should 'old lis
lands,
'E don't know the salute,
But e thinks if e can shoot,
That 'e's bloomin' fit to fight in foreign
lands.
Oh, the bloomin' raw recruit,
10 thinks if e can shoot,
That e don't need no salute in foreign
lands.
is Dl0omln' back is crooked as an
eel's,
10 doesn't know lis tactics from lis
meals,
e says 'e's never ill
And he doesn't need no drill,
10 could lick 'em all 'imself-that's
'ow e feels.
Oh, e doesn't want no frill,
% says e's never ill,
And e doesn't need to drill-that 'ow
e feels.
Els got no more good manners than
an ape,
10 doesn't know lis poncho from lis
cape,
10 thinks the good lord made i'm
But some other job delayed I'm
And 10 didn't get to lick i'm into shape.
What 'eartbreakin' disasters,
Ell breed, my lords and masters.
II some other man don't lick i'm into
shape.

From Cattle to Sheer.

Wyoming is fast becoming the sheep
mems country, and it is only ques-
ton Of few years when they will
possess the state. Only five firms In
the western portion still range cattle
there. All the country south of Raw
Inns has been given up to the sheep
men, and firms that formerly ranged
cattle have been forced to change their
holdings into sheep. One cattleman
says he is surrounded by sheep, but,
having purchased large tract Of coun-
try from the Union Pacific, he has sue
ceeded in holding his range. The busi-
ness Is being overdone In that section,
and there is a disposition on the part
Of some Of the sheepmen to sell and
get out, and 1t is probable that a large
number Of sheep will be thrown upon
the market this season.-National
