Rudyard Kipling's new story is the
principal feature OF Evsrybody's maga-
line for October. "A Burgher Of the Free
statep portrays the scenes immediately !,
before and after the capture of Bloem- I.
iontein by the British, and the old Scotch :
man who has been n burgher OF the Free !,
State for over forty years, throws much ,
light on the true situation in South
Africa. The story Is full Of the WITT and
word play so charmingly characteristic Of
all Kiphng's short stories. That the
Dowager Empress OF China was a slave is
generally known, bat the methods by
which she mounted the, throne and the
subtle cunning by which she attained her
position, are facts most sntertainingiy
told In this number. "How Does 1t Feel |
To BE Baked Alivef'' is the title OF another
article which answers that question.
Stuart Robson continues his delightful
memoirs OF ATTY years Of his busy life and |
relates many amusing anccdotes Of well
known people. Beside the Kipllng story.
the magazine contains several very in
terestiug short stories. The Illustrations
are particularly good aad plentiful.
