kIPLLNG AS AN ACTOR.
The Authors First And Last Appear
ance on the Stage.

From bundle of long sealed-up
papers that have travelled over great
part of the world d little playful com es
to light, bearing name among the cas-
which has become extraordinarily
famous-that OF Rudyard Kipling,
author, journalist and, as will be seen,
upon at least one occasion, an amateur
player.
Twice every year, at the Christmas
and midsummer breaking up of tae
United Service College, at what in lae
United States would be termed the
commencement exercises, but which
lat Westward Ho was called the pas
times, the masters and students pro
duced, in the intervals of speechmaking
and the distribution of prizes, one OF
two plays for the entertainment of the
personal friends of the boys and the
residents of the neighborhood invited
to be present
Some days beforehand, at the far
ther end of the gymnasium a stage WIS
erected, where rehearsals were CON

boys being selected to fill some of the
principal parts according to their dra-
matte ability.
1t was at the paStimes of the Goth Of
December, 1881, that Sheridan's Ia
nous play, The Rivals, was pro
duced, with no less a parsonage in the
cast than the future distinguished
litterateur, Mr. Rudyard Kipling, talk
ing the part of Sir Anthony Absolute
At the moment particular interest at
taches to the cast of that production
in that it may be noticed that the part
of Sir Lucius OTrigger was taken by
G. G. Beresford and that of Mrs. Mala-
prop by l., C. Dunsterville, the origi-
nails of the Stalky and McTurk, respec-
lively, of the series of Kipling school
boy stories lately appearing in Nc
Clure's Magazine. 1t was these two
boys who were Kipling's great chums
at Westward Ho. In the cast also, as
Captain Absolute, was Mr.. Cyril Har-
rison, who subsequently entered the
dramatic profession and became well
known on the English stage. SO ia
miliar is the name of Rudyard Kipling,
standing, as it were, with remarkable
emphasis of it's own, that it may inter
est some of the authors admirers to
notice that in this little playful he rs
accredited with the further initial of j.,
standing for John-the real full name
of Mr.. Kipling, therefore, being John
Rudyard Kipling.
Mr.. Kipling was at the time, so far as
is known of this, his first and last APP
pearance on the boards" II years of
age, and acquitted himself in his part
to the appreciation of all those present,
But one cannot help rejecting, as the
mind turns backward to that enthu-
siastic college scene, what effect it
would have today upon the public if the
manager of a theatre or the organizer
of any public entertainment were for
tunate enough to be able to announce
the name of j. R. Kipling as appearing

serving as nurse with the regiment to

Your son Donald of Company K was
at once sent for, and it is needless to
say has done and is doing all that a
beloved and tender brother could do
for another. The remains were brought
a [ once to the hospital and Donald was
with him till all was done that could be
done last night
You, who know your son Donald bet

he feels both about his brother and you
But he is a brave, dear son and IS
proving himself a soldier under every
trial
His saddest thought is OF you He

you will hear from him and he will tell
you all in a way that will satisfy a
mothers heart far more than it is pos

their heart goes out in the truest and

they were here. enclose a letter which
your son gave me this morning to send
with this. He found it on Oscar and is
doubtless his last writing.
May the Father, who can understand
in every detail the future, console you
with the blessed assurance that He
does all things we'll and some day we
will stand in the light OF His knowledge
and love. and know that His love goes
with every trial
Donald is acting the brave, noble
sons part and is doing everything that
can be done by a loving brother.
Nothing Will help him so much as to
know that you have found strength and
consolation for this great trial
THE thoughtfulness and love mani
tested between your sons has been COM

There has not been a day but that
they have known of each others well

Old Man is Fined by Federal Judge

Fort Scott, May S.-The occasional
harshness of justice was Illustrated in
the federal court here yesterday when
w D. Riley. a sober and respected mer-
chant of Leroy, Kan. who, according
to his statement to the court, had just
been robbed OF s., 500, was convicted and
fined for sending a protest against the
imposition upon him on a postal card
to a man whom he supposed to be his
friend
Riley is advanced in years, and he
told the court that the $500 of which
he had been robbed represented the saw
ings of his lifetime He was negotiating
the sale of the stock through a man who
had always been friendly to him and
was sent to Missouri to look over some
land which he thought of accepting in
exchange for it. Upon his return he
dropped the friend a card saying the
land was not as represented by the
owner and implying that the represen-
tations made by the owner were dis
honest.
In view of these mitigating circum-
stances the court assessed the minimum
fne-S10O-which he paid with the costs
The man claimed to have been DETAINED
by the card was c. W. Rodecker of
