Kipling's New Stories.

Rudyard Kipling's first piece of
sustained work since his illness
last year turns out to be a series
of humorous animal stories which
are said to show all the freshness
and Zest of a man who has had a
long rest. kipling loves to write
an animal story better than any
thing else, and when his physi-
clans allowed him to return to
work he instinctively turned to
this series which he had had in
mind for years. There are nine
stories, and each one is supposed
to tell the origin of the most con
spicuous part of the animal por-
trayed. Thus, in The Elephants
Child" he tells a most droll story
of how the elephant happened to
get a trunk, and in 1.-The Sing
Song of Old Man kangaroo" he
gives the history of how the kan
CARGO got his long legs, for, Mr..
Kipling says, there was a time
when elephants had no trunks, and
~kangaroo's legs we're not so long
as they are now. The stories, it is
said, show Mr.. Kipling at his very
best. They are expressively funny
and have that are quality of APP
pealing to the old as well as the
young. The author has sent the
entire series 10 the Ladies' Home
journal, and that magazine will
begin their publication in it's next
issue.

A REET1NG TO MARCH

Here you are ag'in Of March,
Month of penitential sorrow.
Smilin' ill you take the starch
From out sadness, but tomorrow
You may change your gentle mood
Shift your goody-good position
An begin a actin rude,
BLOWN like a politician
Hide your sunny skies an frown
Til the universe feels brown.
Came in like a sportve lamb
With your very sweetest smile on
But you're such an annual sham,
Often put that same OF style on,
An before a week has passed
Make us think that you're tryin'
Just to e how tarnal fast
Youcan changefrom lamb tolion!
Hide your smile beneath a frown
While your snowy tears drap down.
Here ag'in old month that drives
Prayerful saints into seclusion
Lookin' back'ards at their lives
Some In sort of 'shamed confus-
ion.
S'pose to fast an pray, but faint
Literally they're a dom
That, because their Wristbands
amt
Very slack from lack of chewin'.
An their prayin' isn't such
AS III bother heaven much.
Season when the women hide
From society an folly,
But their piety is snide-
Just a p%enitential jolly.
Peep in or EN- and you'd see
Worldliness beyond all reason,
Gettin' gowns an finery
Ready for the Easter
Hats and gowns so loud an spry-
Make a hossless carriage shy!
Here ag'in, OF March. You come
With n smile that's truly winnin',
But we know your face is bum
Never bank ON your beginnin'.
Got surprises up your sleeve,
Got n different face n hidin'
Meath that sunny make-believe
Smile you seem to take sich
pride in.
Think you'll fool us with your blue
Skies, but we're dead onto you!

Snow.
COMMUNICATED

Snow is one of the greatest Won
ders of nature. When the mois-
ture of the air is condensed at any
temperature below 80 degrees
Fair, the vapor chrystalizes and
snowfiakes are formed.
Snow chrystals a variety
of shapes. DR.. Scoresby, in study
ing this phenomenon, figured nine
ty-six different forms. For its ex-
IRENE wilderness it is often used as
an emblem of purity. Poets have
made it the subject of song but we
will apply it to daily life. Let us
look for n moment nj a snow storm
Ii comes i'll the stiffness of the
night and covers the ground, the
fences ard the trees with a mantle
of pure white, but soon the SCOT
aud mud mingles with it and it is
no longer clean.
How like the snow is life! We
enter upon life as pure as the driv,
EN- snow, but as Time adds yeal
after year to our existance sin
comes in, and our life once 80 spot.
less is blackened, our conscience
once so clean is laden with cares
that help to darken the way.
No matter how careful we are
something will occur to soil the
whiteness of our lives. Let us la.
Dor daily to keep in the right path
and when we err, to exclaim as did
the psalmist of old, Cleanse me
and l shall be clean, wash me anc
| shall be whittier than snow"

Chased BY Grey Wolves.

Helper engine SIG, in charge of
Engineer Findo, took a line repair
Ell to Athol today and when COM
ing back and within ten miles of
town, the fireman spied n man on
top of a telegraph pole waving his
hands frantically as if he were in
great terror. Inc engine was
stopped and the man threw his
arms around the pole and slid to
the ground, landing all in a heap.
He was breathless and pale and
very much excited. He proved to
be the track walker and when he
had recovered sufficient he told
the engineer that he had been
chased by five huge grey wolves.
He said that the animals were
right on his heels as he reached
the pole. "Oh, / don't know how
| got up that pole. 1t was wet
and smooth but | got there and
would have been there yet if the
engine hadn't come along" The
track walker is a level headed man
and his story is not doubted. His
climb of the telegraph pole will go
on record as one of the most clever
feats in western pole climbing.
The man resigned his position to-
day. He says he has all the walk
ing he wants in a country where
wolves thrive Sun-Leader.

Left in a Dugout.

One of the men who came in
from the grade on Sunday last re-
ported that there were three
children in a dugout near the old
coal mine, and that they did not
seem to have anyone to look after
them. The matter was reported
to Chairman Hansen of the coun-
ty board, and he authorized the
man to bring them to the city.
Deputy Sheriff Horton went out
to the dugout on Monday and
brought the little ones to the city,
when it was learned that they are
the children of a man named
Sand, formerly of Hanna, who is
now at work on the grade. The
oldest one is n girl of IA, and she
objected to being in camp at the
grade, so the father brought them
to the old dugout, which has mel
ther doors or windows, and left
them there without sufficient
clothes or bedding to ward off the
cold.
