Kipling's New Story.

1t is an old trick of Kipling to pre-
face a story with a scrap of verse. He
has chosen for Introduction to IAN
Habitation Enforced" which appears
entire in the August Century, these
lines of Thomas 1useer:
My friend if cause doth rest thee
Ere folly hath much oppressed thee
Far from acquaintance keSt thee,
Where country may digest thee,
Thank God that so hath bieeSeH - ee
And sit down, Robin, and rest thee.

Imagination a. Factor in the Stock
Market.

Edwin Lefevre, author of "The
Golden Flood" based his book on the
supposition. that the big magnates of
Wall Street are gifted with a great
imagination, on which power their
success is largely founded. Now ina
gination has become a feature of the
stock market. A New York paper un-
der the head of "Stock Market Ruled
by Imagination, "Lefevre's book is
being read more carefully than the
railroad reports and it really is more
important just now. 1t is a photo
graph of the Wall Street mind, and
shows how Imagination can shake the
mightiest The fact that there are
dozen men in Wall Street able to do
Just what Lefevre's hero did makes
the story a living issue worthy to be
ranked with the tariff, crop scares and
rate revision"

History of Italian Literature

Miss Florence Trail, who was edu-
Gated in Tarboro, North Carolina has
published "A History of Italian Lit

which has been favorabIy received. In
long and appreciative review, the
Washington Times says: "She is un-

of America today, as there are but few
indeed, who would have undertaken,
or could have carried to a successful
conclusion, a work of such magnitude
as the review of the literature extend
ing back through ten centuries-the
richest and most voluminous in the
world And this task has been per-
formed in way not only to fascinate
the English reader, but to satisfy the
critical taste of the most cultured
Italians"

not have the power to discriminate

primitive SO far as public carriers are
concerned. And no private citizen
