TALES or KIPL|NG.
He Declined Knighthood Offered Him by the Queen
Because He Did Not See of What Benefit it
Would Be to Him.

There are few personalities among the
men of letters more interesting than that
OF Rudyard Kipling and this fact was
never more exemplifed than during his
late illness when the corridor of the
Hotel Grenoble. iu New York, was
crowded daily By those who were anxious
20 receive the latest news from the SICK
chamber. Few OF those who scanned the
bulletins 50 anxionsy had ever seen MT.
Kipling but an had the greatest love ana
respec; for the man who lay battling with
death In the room above. They had read
his stories. they had laughed and wept
with him and they felt as If he belonged
20 them-as II he was dear friend IN
whom they had a right 10 feel the closest
interest.
In spite OF the popular interest that
he has always aroused there is PROBABLY
no literary man to-day OF whom 50 niue
IS known as Of Rudyard Kipling. With
those 10 whom he has given his friend
ship he has always been as genial, as
kindly and as warm hearted as any one
could ask. To them he has been the most
delightful Of companions and II he has
been exceedingly short, not 10 say rude
or boorish with strangers who have at
tempted TO force their acquaintance upon
him this has been due 10 what might be
termed bis British insular prejudice
against any inquiry into his private lie
or habits.
In fact, so careful has he been not TO
allow any hint OF his private life 20 be-
come public property that the world
would have no information respecting
the author as a man II his friends had
not been kind enough 10 nave impaired
some OF the secrets that they have gained
during their intercourse with him.
As ii is. however. we are told that the
opening OF his remarkable story Of THE
Man Who Would Re King is a graphic
sketch OF his life as newspaper man IN
india. and this Information Is particularly
Interesting in view OF the fact that his
early ballads and the stories that first
won for him his fame were written under
sust such circumstances. II was IN this
little newspaper Office that his first book
was published-"a lean oblong docket.

AFFORD. but II was a success In more ways
than one. Dollar flowed into the authors
pocket and the 0rld awoke % the knowl-
edge that a en- and entirely unique poet
had been born.
In the same way facts about Kipling's
tchool days may be gathered from his
9'stalky & Co." his thoroughly natural
narrative OF life in a boys school.

showing mercy. prayer, repentance, all OF
which play an important part TN the
verses OF so many poets seem TO be quite
foreign TO Kiplings attitude towards
spirituality. His vein of religious feeling
is modern and ia full accord with the SO
called ethical feeling Of the day. 1t i'm
plies the possibility Of salvation by work
and a healthful scorn OF cant and un-
reality, and &c takes for granted.

Kiplings religion. however, is evidently
OF "the heart and OF the vlsccra," his
faith is in humanity IN courage and
great undertakings. AS has been said
By one critic. lit Is a religion for Tommy
Atkins and the crew Of the Victoria TO
live and die by" although "his men from
very robustness shirk the sacraments and
crbcds and churches His God is like
himself. strong and self assertive rather
than tender and his religion a manly rug

uality.

The mere fact that the attempt Is made

You remember the story told or Charles
Lamb. when he saw lot OF boys badger

called out 20 them. Boys, don't put that

laugh over the fact that one of his
stories laid Tor many years I'm pigeon

ago Mary Mapes Dodge accepted the story
but IL was never published. Recently the
author recalled the fact TO her mind and

Like Robert Louis Stevenson Kipling
was not cut out for q newspaper man.
When he first went TO san Francisco
he obtained a position as repor-

ASSIGNMENT was 10 write M mer-
camille failure which he did In his own
peculiar style. He made no mention OF
either assets or liabilities but simply con
tented himself with giving a striking pen
portrait Of the bankrupt whom he pic,

II IS not generally known that Kip

the Queen. About three years ago he
was offered knghthood and he refused
20 accept the honor on the ground that
he did not see of what benefit such n
position would be TO him. Another fact
that IS not known by everyone is that
the author IS a great admirer Of that
thoroughly American institution cock

The last time ne was in New York he
was the guest Of the Lockwood De For

arrival he announced that he was going

WHEN DEATH HoLDs SWAY.

WHEN DEATH HOLDS SWAY
Verv early in the morning is gen.
orally supposed to be the most CON-
mon time for death to take away
the sick. Old nurses will tell you
that from two to four o'clock, a.
m, life is at its lowest ebb and the
dying patient usually passes into
the great beyond between these
hours. A famous French physi-
clan, however, has examined over
25, 900 cases of death and finds that
more deaths occur at two o'clock in
the afternoon than at any other
time.
