Rudyard Kipling will not visit Brattle-
boro before his return to England. All
the arrangements for such visit had been
made and the family were to have come on
Saturday of last week, but in the mean
time 1t became known to the Kipling fam
lily and their intimate friends that threat
had been made that there would be trouble
for Mr.. Kipling if lie came here, and af-
ter mature consideration it was reluctantly
decided that Mr.. Kipling should give up
his proposed visit, Mr.. Kipling's wife and
friends fearing particularly the effect of
any needless annoyance during his con-
valescence.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Kipling wish
ed very much to come to Brattleboro. The
friends nearest to him say that there is no
place on earth which he would like so
much to see as his Vermont home. The
only reason that he does not come is the
one here mentioned. The statement of
this fact is enough so far as the public
opinion of Brattleboro is concerned. There
is only one mind ON this matter.
DIR. Conland spent three days with Mr..
Kipling at Morristown, N. j., last week.
He found him in apparent good health,
though he has by no means recovered his
full strength physically or nervously since
his critical illness. The family are booked
to sail from New York June IA ON their re-
turn to England.

THR LETTER FROM HOME.

81 feel as though I had met a whole
roomtul of my old friends" said the
girl who is trying-in spite of home
slckness-to make her own way in the
city. I've just had a letter from
Aunt Louise. It isn't filed with her
own aches and pains and trials and
troubles. The home news is all here,
but there isn't one selfish, whining
word.
she writes eight pages. Seel She's
mentioned most of the people and
places I'm interested in and told me
doz 9ns Of things I wanted TO hear
about. / don't mean to a they're
important things; but it Is nice to
know the name Of Cousin Carries
baby, and to learn that E ia Mayo is
taking music Lessons, and to have q
description Of the new minister's
family, and wen to hear they've laid
a new sidewalk over the muddy place
above the post Office!
GossipF Perhaps it is, but it isn't
mean gossip. I wouldn't hesitate to
show it to any one who is mentioned
here. And it makes me feel as though
I'd made a visit home, and found that
I wasn't forgotten.
Il know how Aunt pulse does it
She makes a list of the people we
know, and when the time comes to
write she just looks at the list to make
sure she hasn't left any out. she says
she doesn't pretend to be a letter
writer, but her letters do me lots Of
good for all that. Little things look
large when ones away from home, and
everything ID neWs!"
Perhaps there is a hint here for
young people-and older ones-Who
profess that they would be glad to
write to absent friends if they only
knew what to sRy.-Youth's Com

A GOOD WRITER.

DEAR AUNT ENNIE:-The Progressive
Farmer ia one of my best friends, and
I shall feel honored if a few words of
mine shall appear in it's columns. I
think it is one of the most reliable Of
papers.
Now, won't you let me say a few
words about the weather, if 1 don't say
much9 We had the most delightful
autumn breezes a few days ago. Such
az make life dearer and you richer,
having been blest by them.
I live in the country, and to me there
is no more pleasing sight than a nice
farm. love the dark, rich woodland
and the smiling fields. But often we
are panied to see a "half tillRge stint
tbs smiling plain"
I think time and circumstances both
have changed since the jamestown
colony was established, and for my
part I believe in love. Of course we
want those about US to be congenial,
but we want more than that from
those upon whom we have the greatest
claim. We want to be first in their
hearts. Dixie.

good that is being done all because
there is so much love ia the humane
heart. Why, Kate, love makes US all
better, purer and nobler, that is if it ia
the right kind of love, and I am quite
sure none of the Cousins would have
the wrong kind.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A "SRLF,
MADR" MAN.

He" said the newspapers, referring
to a capitalist who had done some =
thing to render himself especially con-
spicuous, lis a self made man." He
was a man who had ''gone West" in
the early years, prompted by a love Of
adventure. He had dreams CT wealth,
but no plans to obtain it. He was con
6dent that the argosy was there chief.
~ because Horace Greeley had said
that it was. The man pre- empted a
farm in a territory which ia now q mid.
Western State, and suffered the priva
tions and hardships of a pioneer. The
Pixies Peak gold discoveries came, and
he was caught and carried by the
great human wave which dashed itself
against the Rocky Mountains. Then
he discovered gold-a mine Of it. He
was shrewd enough by nature to re-
tain it, and it gave him a fortune. He
invested in banks and railroads. I'm
migrants swarmed to the great new
land and made his investments SPLEEN
didIy profitable. He has today, per-
haps, nearly as many millions as
popular belief accredits to him.
If the glamour Of gold could be dis
sipated from this mans presence it
would be revealed that never for a
single instant in his life had he emerged
from the ranks Of those who are con-
trolled by the SIMPLE, elemental Inn
pulses with which they were born.
There was no distinction in his love of
adventure; that characteristic is al
most as common as curiosity. His
hardships were a natural incident to
that adventure, shared by thousands
upon thousands who did not su ,ceed,
and borne, not from any motive Of
self development, but because they
could not be escaped. His discovery of
gold was not the result OF training, and
his career thereafter was fashioned by
the conditions into which he had b8en
Ell by his original impulses. He is
what he was in the beginning, modi-
fed by circumstances which he did not
create.
Whether or not there can be a really
self-made man is still q question with
the schools, but it seems probable that
his closest approximation may be
found outside of the ranks of the mil
lionaries. The impatient man who
schools himself to patience; the timor
GUS one who sets himself the lesson Of
fortitude and learns it; the one who
curb, a turbulent spirit 10 pursue day
by day the path of rectiTude, is a type
of the approximately self made man
no less than he who, discovering GER
tain talents in himself, c~ulGivates them
to what the world denominates success.

Post.

Good Literature and a Clean Tongue.

pleased to note that it was somewhat
lacking in cordiality.
Think of It'll Your SOM hear thCs3
things from older men, perhaps their
own fathers, and they consider it the
proper thing to repeat them. Not only
do the boys morals suffer, but the
name Of woman is constantly being
dragged through the quagmire of pub
lie obscenity. In s)me communities
boys go to the country store and sit
for hours in this contaminaiiag atmos
phere, listening to and taking part in
the conversation. Only a short time
ago an instance was told me in which
a young boy made vuglar remarks
ABOUT his own parents before q store
full of boys and middle-aged men men
who ought to have had the decency to
reprove him, but who thought it Gun,
ming, laughed at it, and repeated it
to others.
Fcom personal observation 1 find
that obscene talk is not confined alone
TO men. 1 have known women who
seemed to experience great pleasure in
telling vulgar stories, and, l am sorry
to confess it, women who were protest.
ing Christians. 1t is hard to reconcile
the pure, exalted Christian spirit with
q filthy tongue! If every woman
would commence the reform with her
self and then her husband, refusing to
listen to such talk-if he is inclined to
use twin him over to the state
of mind that will enable him to say to
his male friends, You need not tell
me a story that you would not tell be-
fore my mother" convince him of the
crime to good morals he commits in
using unclean language before boys
and young men, the reformatory re
suit would be incalcuable in it's magni
tude. There are plenty of innocent
jokes AMI harmless fun to be enjoyed,
so that we need not go about with
doletul faces because obscenity is for
hidden.
