KIPLlNG,s LATEST POEM.

The full text of Rudyard Kipling' $
poem, in which he denOunces the English
government for its proposed actions in
South Africa, is as follows:
The shame of Majuba hill
Lies heavy on our line.
But there is shame compIeter still
And England makes no sign.
Unchallenged in the market place
OF Freedoms chosen land
Our rulers pass our rule and race
Into the strangers hand.
At a great price you loosed the yoke
Meath which our brethren lay;
(Your dead that persisted ere twas broke
Are scarcely dust today.
Think you we freed them at that price?
Wake, or your toll is vain;
Our rulers jugglingly devise
To sell them back again.
Back TO the ancient bitterness
We ended once for al
Back to oppression none may guess
Who have not borne its thrall-
Back to the slough of despond;
HelOts anew held fast
BY England's seal upon the bond"
AS helots TO the last.
What is their sin that they are made
Rebellion's lawful prey?
This is their sin-that oft betrayed,
They did not oft betray:
That to their hurt they kept their vows;
That for their faith they died:
God help thee, children of our house
Whom England hath denied
But we-what God shall turn our doom
What blessings dare we claim
Who Stay a nation in the womb
To crown a trickster's game?
Who come before amazed mankind
Forsworn in party feud.
And search the forms of law to bind
Our blood 10 servitude?
Now. even now, ere we return
Dominion to the dust
Now, ere the gates of Mercy close
Forever gainst the line
That sells it's sons to serve its foes
VIII England make no sign?
Now. even now, before men learn
How near we broke our trust

smothered and despised, among the
lumber in granary near Courtrai. The
farmer-a woman-took ii into her
head one day to clear the granary OF
it's rubbish" and for few coppers
she was glad to get the son OF the local
coach painter to remove IL all, includ-
ing the dirty piece of painted wood"
The painting was cleansed and submit
ted to an expert, who recognized II as
Durer which had been stolen from
the National Museum of Munich many
years earlier.
, Among some old canVases which were
knocked down for the equivalent OF a
few shillings at an auction sale at
Rome to Herr Hunterspergh, a Tyro-
lese restorer of old pictures, was very
inferior picture of flowers which was
practically worthless. The canvas,
however, attracted the attention of an
art connoisseur, who suspected that
there might be another painting be-
meath the surface preseQtment of flow
ers, and by skilfully removing the lay
ers of paint he revealed an exquisite
work of Correggio, which he later sold
to Lord Bristol for G1,5e0.
Lord Crewe has among his art treas
uTes a valuable canvas, of which the
| following romantic story is told: Many
| years ago one of his ancestors had a
! picture painted of his son and daugh-
| ter, the former. who was very young,
| being presented as a Cupid. In later
| years, when the son had grown to man
hood, he quarreled with his father, and,
by way of revenge, cut the Cupid out
of the canvas. For a century nothing
was seen of the portion of the picture
thus removed, when 1t fell into the
hands of a dealer. who restored it to
the then head Of the house.
A similar mutilation was practiced
on a valuable painting, 1.-The Field Of
| the Cloth of Gold" the property of
! Charles I When Cromwell negotiated
with a Continental dealer for the sale
OF the royal pictures 1t was found that
the head of Henry VIII was missing
from this canvas. which thus escaped
the fate of it's fellows. When the sec
| ond Charles came TO the throne tho
missing part was restored by great
ncbleman who had adopted this in
geniOus method of preventing the pic
ture from going out OF the country.
