Kipling on Buffalo.

After Rudyard Kipling had spent a day
or two in Buffalo in the sos, says the
New York Tribune, he thus described it:
Buffalo is large village of quarter of
million inhabitants, situated on the
seashore, which is falsely called Lake
Erie. Once clear of the main
business streets, you launch upon miles
and miles of asphalted roads running be-
tween cottages and cut-stone residences
of those who have money and peace,
. When you have seen the outside
of few hundred thousand of these
homes and the inside of few score, Won
begin to understand why the American
does not take deep interest in what
they call politics, and why he is so
vaguely and generally proud of the
country that enables him to be so com.

THE ADMINISTRATION SUSTAINED
Hnsular Cases Decided

In the United States supreme court on
Monday opinions were handed down in
all but two of the cases before that court
involving the relation of the United
States to its insular possessions. The
opinions are thus summarized by the
Boston Journal;
1-Territory acquired in war remains
foreign during military occupation, and
up to the date ofthe exchange of ratifi-
cations OF the treaty Of peace. Tariff du-
ties may be levied on importations from
snch territory into the United States.
2-After the exchange Qualifications of
the treaty OF peace it becomes domestic
territory, and its products must have
free entrance into the United States until
such time as Congress may determine it's
status by legislation.
3-Ihe United States consists only of
the thirteen original states and such 9TH
er states as have since been added. The
United states Congress has the right to
leglslate Tor any newly acquired terri
tory as 1t may please. The Foraker law
imposing duties upon importations from
Porto Rlco to the United States and
INTO Porto Rico from the United States
is constitutional.
linus the administration is sustained
and the island is held not to be United
States soil

Ernest Seton ThompsOn's Early Life.

The author known as Mr. Ernest
Seton Thompson whose stories of wild
animals have gained him such wide
spread popularity, is really Mr.. Seton by
name, the Thompson" having been as
sumed under romantic circumstances by
a progeptor. The authors earlier sto-
ries were signed Ernest Seton, though
his present reputation is completely iden-
tilted with the hyphenated surname.
Mr.. Seton-Thompson, as he will proba-
bly, still be known, was born in the North
of England. When he was Is he started
for London to study art and natural
history. He was the youngest student
who ever got life ticket to the British
Museum. This was at first refused him
by the officials of the museum because of
his youth, but he finally wheedled it out
of them. In London he was hungry but
happy, as he declares, living in a dark
hall bedroom, and spending only $50 in
two years and a half. By the end of
that time his friends thought he was
dying with consumption, the fact being
that he was only hungry. They sent
him to Manitoba, where he began to
realize his dream of being naturalist.
In 1888 he came to New York with
$2.63 in his pocket. He lived on rolls
and water from the Madison Square
fountain. At last he found work at SIS
a week, drawing Autographs. His first
raise came through the opportunity to
draw raven for a cigar advertisement.
Mr.. Seton-Thompson does not draw adj
vertisements now. The popular author
naturalist is now about 40 years old, and
lives in New York. He resembles Pader-
ewski in appearance as much as it is pos
sible for an Englishman to look like a
Pole-except that his hair is dark.
