world, as the hills whose plain tales he
tells. And then a turn brings one back
to the main thOrOughfare, where are up
to date little shops and-the electric light
Yes, the electric light in shop and street
in this pocket Of a place. Your driver
prisks up his steed and wlir!s you rap
idly past The Elms, up the hillside by
the house, pulls UP at corner some dis
lance along the white steep road, and,
mute and expectant, invites by gesture
your admiration and appreciation of the
most advanced outpost of civilization 1t
is an electric lamp set in the corner of
the lane, with a background of hayricks
and barns, and looking as strangely
placed as steam plough In the Garden
of Eden.
But homogeneous or not, the illuminant
is there, and the Kiplings are not the
least considerable consumers of It. Com
fort and convenience form the key to the
domestic policy of The Elms Mr. Kip
ling used to possess a motor car and make
his Journeys to and from Brighton in it.
But the machine proved fractions, so the
Brighton cabmen reasserted their title to
serve him. They all know the master
of The Films. and count him the finest of
patriots in discarding his road engine"
All the boys in the village are the per-
sonal chums of the owner Of The Fins.
He Knows them all by name, and Is
familiar with the history and character

There is a little wood and iron erection
standing close by the house and the pond
1t is the gymnasium which Mr.. Kipling
has built for the rising hopes of ROtting-
dean When work pals in the evenings
he takes himself and his pipe across to
the gymnasium and mas a gossip with his
young friends, in whose exercises he takes
a great delight. When the boys have
finished they cluster around their patron
and beg him to tell them something about
India or the army. Many a fascinating
word picture of the jungle and it's deni-
zens he will draw for them The world
admires KiplinS as a genius; the boys
who know him at home worship him as
a sort Of glorified elder brother.
He Is keenlY interested In military ex-
ercises for youths, and will take the
most promising of his youthful friends
down to the beach shooting He has or
ganized a rifle club for the encourage
ment and practice of craftsmanship
among the older men in the village 1t
is not surprising that Nottingham men
have been fighting at the front.
Mr.. Kipling stands aloof from the pub
lie work of the village, and will have
none of the local board. He is not pub
lie man at home. His work is probably
less known from reading by the Rot
tingdeaners than by the residents in
many an isolated town in North Amer
lea. Yet he is clearly the most popui ar
man in the village. not as Rudyard Kip
ling, the poet and author, but as Rudyard
Kipling the man, the playmate of the
boys. the idol Of the young men.

Il see," he continued, that the chief
grain Inspector recently said that SO far
as our crops are concerned, Lde wheat is
liable to lodge too thick, owing to the
great amount Of rain. Now, so far as
my observation is concerned, I cannot
agree with the inspector, and that we
nave not had too much rain is shown
by the sp.endid appearance of the wheat.

DEMAND ron COLLEGE, MEN.

New York Tribune
Graduated, but not present" was the
suggestive announcement made concern
ing the class of 1901 at a well known in
stitution of higher learning A majority
of the class did not appear at commence
ment, though their names were called
and their degrees We're conferred. The
case was extraordinary, but the explana-
ton was simple and satisfactory. The
services of the young men had been
sought and engaged by business men so
urgently that the president of the in
,stitution had given the students permis-
sion to leave school and go to work in
advance Of actual graduation. Their
courses of study were satisfactorily
completed and their examinations pass
ed and it was thought to be not worth
while to keep them away from the in
dustries which needed them for so long
as even the few days yet remaining be-
fore the formal close Of the academic
year
There is in this fine rebuke, Of the
most practical and convincing kind. to
the pretence that college education is
a handicap to a young man in business
1t is not a handicap, put it Is an meal
culable advanta ge-provided, of course,
that it be proper education, in which
the first aim has been to train the mind,
to stock it the second. The hardest
headed business men send their own sons
to college, and give their wealth to en-
dow colleges and seek college men for
their lieutenants. The trained and dis
e1plined mind is recognized to be the eff
fcient mind, Just as much as the trained
body is the efficient body. That is the
fact, and it Is a fact which Is now gain
ing universal recognition

RUDYARD KlDL1N0 AT NOME

Mr.. Rudyard Kipling Is very English
In his love of home. His castle is the
Films, one of the least pretentious houses
IN a village remarkable for neither glory
Of architecture nor the ambitious proper
lions of it's dwelling places. One feels
that truly, with Kipling an EngIlshman's
house Is his castle to himself. whatever
1t may be to others. To the residence of
so noted man a certain halo OF distinc-
ton attaches In spite of this, however,
the visitor who makes a pilgrimage to
rockingham to see where lives his hero
is irresistfbly bound to laugh at the sight
OF the Ems. The whole place is Charm
ingly Kiplingesque-m modest, una assuming
to absurdity, and one instantly feels that
he likes his Rudyard Kioling more than
ever because of it, says Black and W Il,
Solidly, automatically comfortable
without a pretense to beauty or pictur-
esqueness modest in size the Fins
stands tight defiantly unlovely, incIosed
by high. stout wall of typically rural
fashioning. The Elms would not win a
second glance from mildly successful
talfow chandler, and a city clerk would
consider the place impossibIy unattrac-
tive; the aesthetic would shudder to think
that the ''RecessionaF' was created with
in this little commonplace in stone plas-
ter and red tiles.

modest little establishment, a hermit Of
greater privacy A double barreled gate

the way to the front entrance. and the
little electric bell looks quantity fncon-
gruous inset in so much of ancient solid
ity A tiny trapdoor in the gateway, just
large enough for one to squeeze his card
through, is governed from the inside, and
the inmates of the ElIns are secure from
Intrusion once they sport their oak"
So far as living interest is concerned
the Kiplings are Nottingham for the out
side world. It has associations, pleasant
and sad associations. however, apart from
this family. The ancient vicarage, just
across the way, is a far more important
seeming establishment than The Elms
and has history to back its claim to
notice. The rockingham vicarage was
arciently famous as school. Cardinal
Manning. the great Duke of Wellington
and Bulwer Lytton were among the
scholars of the old-time Wears.
Nottingham is a strange admixture OF
the medieval and the modern. Some Of
its tortuous, struggling highways of cor

world cottages and gardens, carry one

particular good No member Of labor
organization will assert for minute
that the organization is for the general
good. It is first for the good of the
workmon and il there be a secondary
effect for good it will be felt by the gen
eral community through the fact that
the labcrer is better off 1t all depends
upon the point of view. An organization
may be wisely administered from the
viewpoint of the organizers and very
unwisely administered from the view
point of the outsiders. We have no
doubt that all Industrial combinations
will be wisely administered for the bene-
fit of those receiving a part Of the swag
but they are also to be administered for
the public good. This last clause is too
absurd to need attention Coordinate
which create monopolies to control prices
and limit production are an evil" etc.
What do the labor organizations of Ohio
think of this? WHAT do the men who
voted for Mark Hanna's full dinner pail
think of this sweeping denunciation Of
the attempt of labor to organize for the
purpose of raising wages by creating
a monopoly and limiting production?
Every labor organization according to
this definition is an evil combination and
should be met by effective legislation
and vigorously enforced"
Labor is the greatest commodity in
which the human animal deals. The
organizations of labor were intended to
and do monopolize this commodity and
thereby advance the price of the COM
modify. Do they limit production? Ger
tainly they do. That is one of their
cardinal principles. The strike now on
among the nlachinists is to shorten the
hours of labor and limit production. !.
This plank in the Ohio Republican
platform was intended to place the great
labor organizations Of that state between
the devil and the deep blue sea- They
must either vote to support all manner
and conditions OF trusts or they must
admit that their eWn organize tions are
an evil. 1t was a shrewd move on the
Fart of the foxy Mark, but it will fool
no one. The labor organiza tons will
not be scared into supporting the Re
publican ticket and with it the trust
to save their own necks They
will rely on their own strength to turn
the balance to one side or the other
to keep them safe from antitrust
laws.

GALVESTON IS RECOVERING.

New York Tribune.
1.-THE reconstruction of Galveston Is go
ing on slowly" said Thomas Taylor, a
cotton broker of that city, who is now
staying in this city at the Hotel Virginia
1T Will be many years before the city
attains to what it was prior to the flood, -
he continued, land there are many who
fear that it will never be what it was
before. The greatest delay ia experienced
in rebuilding the residential part of the
city. 1t is a fact that most women will
not live in Galveston, and the fear of
another catastrophe keeps them from
making it their home. The rebuilding of
the business part is going on slowly
Many citizens retain their places Of bust
ness in the city, but live inland with their
families. Those parts of the city which
are fast returning to their original condi-
ton are the wharf districts and the rail-
road terminals. AT present, however
there Is only one bridge connecting the
island on which Galveston Is situated
with the mainland. There were three be-
fore the food 1t is planned to build the
other bridges of steel, and yet 1 think
it safe to say that even steel bridges
could not have resisted the force Of the
flood
I was on the last train that went into
Galveston, Mr.. Taylor continued. "I
had just returned from Europe, by the
way of New York and New Orleans L
arrived at the inland end of the bridge
on the Saturday that the flood swept
down on the city. The water had already
risen, and the train swung back and
forth as it crossed the trestlework as if
In another moment it would be tumbled
into the river below. The engine was
within twenty feet of the island, when
sudden lurch brought us to a standstill.
Railroad employees threw bags of sand
underneath the bridge to steady it, and
then the engine hauled us in with q Jerk.

What followed is known too we'll to the
public" Mr., Taylor is a member of the
