EiOlino'S New Stories.

Ru,lvard kipling's first piece OF sustain
cJ work since his illness last year turns
on, to bc a series OF humorous animal
stories which are said to show all the
freshness and Zc$t of a man who has had
4 long rest. kipling loves to write an an,
mal story better than anything else, ana
when his physicians allowed HIM to re-
turn to work he instinctively turned TO
this series which ne had had in mind for
wears. There are nine stories. and each
one is supposed to tell the origin OF the
most conspicuous part OF the animal
portraved Thus, in The Elephant
Child' he tells most droll story of how
the elephant happened to get a trunk, and
in "Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo h'
| riycs the history of how the kangaroo-go
his long legs. for, Mr.. Kiplins says, there
was Il time when elephants had no trunks
and kangaroos' lcgs were not as long a
they are now. The stories, it Is sad
show Mr. Kiplinga at his very best. The,
arc cxpressivcly funny and have that rar
quality of appealing to old as well Il
Young. The author has sent the entlr
series to The Ladies' Home Journal, an
that magazine will begin their publication
in its next issue.

we were to insert the ad. and send

paper. We wrote the gentlemen
that We would print their advertise;

covering charge or if they would
send satisfactory business references
Of course they haven't done either
We didn't expect them to. But we
notice that several good newspapers
in the State are running the stuff
and if they get any pay for it we
will be very much surprised. Las

a South Carolina agency for the rea
