When Rudyard Kipling and his fami-
ly are at Nottingham, England, they
lead quiet life The village is one of
the quaintest in England and many
famous people have lived there. The
village is planted in what seems to be
a large crevice in the chalk cliffs.
There is a little stone church near
the Kipling house that is 500 years old.
All the dwellings are surrounded by
walls, relic of olden days, when every
mans house was his castle. Kipling's
house remains as when it was built,
hundreds of years ago. 1t has small
windows and a steep roof, and around
the place, inside and out, is the air of
carelessness always associated with
rooms are gloomy, because the numer-
GUS trees near the house have not been
thinned out.
There is some fine antique carved
furniture in the house, though Kipling
took over with him many pieces of
modern American furniture that look
queerly out of place, stuffed chairs
and sofas being among them. A big
library table is Uttered with pipes, pa
per, ink and ashes, and it is here Kip
ling writes.
When the weather is good, nearly
every morning finds Kipling down on
the gravelly beach talking with his
two children and all the neighbors'
youngsters. He does not shoot nor
ride nor fish. When he is not working,
he just loafs. He dislikes strangers
and hates to get up early in the morn

part. We takesthe following extract:
Gen. Tecson took up his position on
the summit Of very high and steep
semi-circular 'idge, the crest of which
was covered with elaborate rife pits,
and as our column advanced, they
poured in very heavy fire. 1t was
mp ossible to flank the position on ac-
count of the nature of the ground, and
Maj. Wheeler's position was such that
he had to charge up slope for 300
yards, at an angle of As degrees. A
desperate and bloody fight ensued.
"The hill was so steep that the men
had to assist themselves in their ascent
with their hands and those who were
hit rolled for some distance. The
enemy stood their ground until our
men were within 30 yards OF them and
then gave way. In spite of the desper-
ate nature of the undertaking not an
officer or man faltered, and all went up
the hill together.
Maj. Wheeler states that there
were many instances of individual gal
lantry."
