AN AUTOGRAPH LETTER
From Rudyard Kiplins Received by Frank
j. Melville, of the Forepaugh-Seils Cir


During the recent serious illness of Rud-
yard Kipling in New Y ork, telegram upon
telegram and letter upon letter were re-
ceived by him until they numbered into
the thousands. Though they varied in
grammatical construction, the sentiment
was similarA They breathed affection.
sympathy and hope. To answer individual
ly all of these communications was her
culcan task that Mr.. Kipiiug was advised
not to attempt. He contented himself with
the publication in one of the New York
papers Of a general letter.
Perhaps the only exception Kipling made
was in the case of Mr.. Frank j. Melville,
the equestrian director Of the Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers combined cir
cuses To Mr.. Melville the author wrote
an autograph letter which the circus man
has filed away in the family archives TO
be cherished by Melville posterity. Kip
ling and Melville were unknown to one
another except through the long-distance
agency Of fame. The circus man had read
Kipling: in fact he ranked him just few
degrees below Browning. for be it known
that Melville was Boston born and bred.
Now Kipling is way above Browning and
the rest and all because Of The White
Mans Burden"
Melville is satisfied that he is the white
man Kipling had in mind when he took
his typewriter in hand and ground out the
rythmic lines that have made nations talk.
Consequently the feeling of the circus man
for the author. 1t was quite natural, per-
haps, for Melville to write KIpling during
the iatter's sickness. He hoped for the
authors recovery and incidentally thanked
him for taking up his (Melville's) cause
and speaking so nightly with his pen.
When Kipling became eonvalescent he in
dited the appended letter to Melville:
NEW YORK. Feb. %, 1889.
My Dear Mr.. Melville:-
Accept my profound thanks for your
warm words of coincidence. Relative 20
the White Mans Burden / must confess
il TO be merely an imaginary flight
Though I sympathizs fervently with you
I cannot refrain from feeling elated toknow
that the shoe fits in at least one instance.
I trust that at some future time I may
have the pleasure Of a personal acquaint-
ance. Very sincerely.
"RCDYARD KIPLING."
Melville opines that he is bearing the
white mans burden in adjusting the num-
erous. vigorous and versatile kick 5 az the
three arenlc prinra donnas with the Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers combined cir
cuses. 1t Is all a case OF wanting the

means the center ring. Miss May Daven-

The annual contest at the Ohio coun-
ty teachers institute took place in the
academy building of the State Normal
School at West Liberty last night. The
hall was packed with an eager audi
ence, and factional feeling ran high at
times. Especially was this true in the
debate, when the question as well as
the polemics appealed to the sentiment
of the listeners. The decisions of the
judges were greeted with applause and
were generally approved. A majority
of the audience was in favor OF MISS
Straub being awarded first prize for de-
claiming. Those participating in the
other contests and the distribution OF
honors were as follows:
Piano Satisfaction from Rive
King, Miss Essie Farrell, first prize.

derstand-but he IS convinced by her ges-
ticulations that she thinks she has some
claim on the favored arena.
Miss Emma Ss:ekney, just plain Amer
lean, is the daughter of Bob Stickney
My father was the champion rider of the
world she says. and therein lies the foun-
dation for her demands. Mr.. Melviles
sympathies are, quite naturally, with Miss
Stickney but he is a firm believer in the
maxim which relates to Sheors fury and a
woman scorned and he is not playing
favorites. He has surrounded the diff
Guilty by giving the center ring to each Of
the riders in rotation
Miss St:ckney will no doubt be the local
favorite when the Forepaugh-Sslls aggre-
CATION strikes the city.
