RUDYARD KIPLING'S LATEST
VERSE ABOUT THE BOER WAR

Copyright, 1903, by Rudyard Kipling)

E does not lose is rifle and e does not

sight worse than Pet.
NEW YORK, Sept 30-From the be-
ginning of the Boer war the people of
the earth who read English have wait
ed for the poems of Kipling, which will
be published tomorrow by Doubleday,
Page & Co. There are twenty-five of
these poems. For Piet, the Boer foe of
England, Kipling has done what he did
for Fuzzy Wuzzy," who broke an En-
glish square.
In many of the poems Kipling dwells
upon the expanded intelligence of the
irregular, who has returned from the
broad life of the sweeping plains of
South Africa to his former occupations
and the yearning and the longing for
the bigger, wider life.
This spirit, grown within the fighting
man who has swung wide from his own
narrow little England, the same spirit
that sent the restless, disconnected war
riors, tired of tame peace after war,
scattering through the ocean lanes to
the west in settlement of England's
colonies three centuries ago, is dwelt
upon in others of these poems, as is
also it's effect in broadening the sol
dier's grasp of the things he hardly I'M
derstood before. This latter feeling is
shown in another of his lays:

Beer and Cider.

An inquiry by DR.. Alfred Wolff into
the mysterious cause of cancer has
yielded an unexpected conclusion which
promises temperance advocates a new
and powerful argument. Taking the
widest possible survey of cancer areas
throughout Europe and the United
States, Dr. Wolff discovers that all the
districts of high cancer mortality are
districts in which beer or cider is large
" drunk. Bavaria, for instance, heads
the list in Germany, and Salzburg in
Austria - both great beer-drinking
provinces. In France the statistics are
still more striking. There is the most
marked contrast between the high cam
Ger mortality in beer-drinking depart
ments and the low death rate from can
Ger elsewhere. The increase in cancer
in England during recent years, DR..
Wolff thinks, has probably direct re-
lation to the increased consumption OF
beer. What it is in beer that conveys
cancer infection is not clear: that is
matter for further Investigation. An
other conclusion to which all the figures
point is that cancer IS most common in
thickIy wooded districts Astounding in
water. DR.. VOLTS researches show the
strongest evidence that cancer is con-
tagious, and that habits and environ
ment have much more to do with the
disease than race or heredity.-Leslie'

NEW STYLE OF HORSESHOE.

too, the shoes are apt to get loose on
the feet and may strain the tendons of
the leg before the driver discovers that
anything is wrong.
IF the inventor of the nailless horse
shoe illustrated has succeeded in de-
signing a shoe that will take the place
of that which has been in use for so
many years he viii be assured of find
ing plenty of drivers ready to give it a
fair trial. The wearing surface of this
shoe differs from the ordinary kind only
in being minus the nail holes, but at the
front and ends of the new shoe will be
seen metallic straps rising to common
point near the top of the hoof. These
straps are hinged to the shoe and are
bolt, which can be turned with q small
wrench to clamp the straps over the
hoof. It is necessary that the bottom
of the hoof be pared down evenly be-
fore the shoe is put in place in order
that smooth fit may be insured. hut
aside from this there is little work re-
quired to put on set of these shoes,
and this suggests the idea that the
horse may yet have its shoes put on in
the morning and removed at night to
rest the feet.

Not Flattering to the Churches.

It is a severe indictment of the
churches which is implied in the dec1s-
ion of the Volunteers of America to
cease turning converts over to the re-
Iligious organizations because those or
CARNATIONS are unable to hold them.
If the churches cannot maintain the al
legiance of newcomers filled with the
zeal of fresh converts it is hard to see
how they are to keep hold upon the
older members who lack that enthu-
sasm.
According to the rules of the Volun-
teers hitherto in force, the convert has
been allowed to select church with
which he wished to become affiliated.
The officers of the Volunteers intro
duced him to the organization he Sc
lected and left him in it's care. 1t
has been discovered that, in most cases,
either because the surroundings were
not pleasant or because no one took any
interest in him, the convert has drifted
back to his old associates and his ref
ormation has been undone.
The Volunteers purpose to remedy
this by maintaining "a church organiza-
ton of their own, and the wisdom OF
the step seems clear. Besides giving
the converts attention and sympathy
and surrounding them with fellow
ship which they will appreciate, the
Volunteers will strengthen their Or
ganiZation by retaining within it all
their converts.
But, as was said in the beginning,
the episode is distinctly unfiattering
to the churches and forebodes small
gains for those organizations. If the
churches cannot retain converts pre-
scented to them ready made, so to speak,
there is small hope that they will make
converts on their own account.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

viii keep Hands OF In Senatorial
Fight In This
District.
CARROLL HOPES TO Win The Prize.

According to reports, Senator Han
ma will not interfere with any of the
legislative fights In Ohio this year.
1t has been stated that he would have
something to say as to who should be
senator from the twenty-first district,
composed of Stark and Carroll coun-
ties. The Republican, Standard, pub
lished at Carrollton, seems to have
some inside information, and comes
out with the following statement:
1T may be well to state that Sena-
tor Hanna is back Of no candidate for
legislative honors, and will endorse no
candidate who is standing for a nomi-
nation. Waving the question Of his
right to champion candidate in a dis.
trict Of which he is not resident,
such an act would be poor politics
and no one can accuse Senator Hanna
of being a poor politician. 1t is a
matter of fact that the senator was
requested by one of his Stark county
political friends to endorse a candi-
date for legislative honoIs. He fiat
f1y refused to do so or even make
known his preferences, if he had any,
saying it is a question which must be
decided by the voters of the district.
He emphatically stated that under no
circumstances would he interest him
self in nominations outside of Cuya-
hoga county"
The fight for senator in this dis
trict is an uncertain one. S,ark has
two candidates, both of whom have
been representatives, J. B. Snyder and
r. A. Pollock.
Carroll has two in the field, and II
is urged that if she goes into the con-
vention with divided delegation her
chances will be nil The claim for
preferment is the fact that during the
last 80 years she has had but three
senators, Edwin Ferrall, Democrat, A..
r. Haines, Democrat, and II. j. Eek
