'Kipling is a year old. A half dozen
stories or sketches brought him into a
sudden prominence, which went far tc
illustrate the worlds ravenous craving
for something sensational. There was
something sensational In Kipllng's
sketches. They were not startling
works. aud they were not works or
which a reputation could be safely
built Nevertheless the world hurrah
ed, the photographers Photographed, the
newspapers took their cue and gave
an absurdly large portion Of their
space to chroniclings of the rising
genius and the Britisher with the
curious name, with heathenish Indian
vocabulary to draw from and with a
head full of wild barrack yarns shone
out wildly as a man of mark.

The Word "sinister."

OF sinister a writer says: How
charged, since the time Of the Romans,
Is this simple word with dubious
things, with suggestions that are ever
terrible! II seems to convey the vague
threat Of dreams-the threat that is
something worse than the clear menace
Of trouble In waking hours. Man want
ed q word for such terrors and took
the mere name Of the left hand. This
would serve as well as another, seeing
that all words which we have filed
with mental emotions had a grossly
material beginning, as bitter and
sweet Emerson says that all Ian

into poetry and has come to life with

OLD PEOPLES HOME BURNED
Great Loss to the 35 Inmates and
Also to the City of South
Haven.

The two large buildings OF the Old
Peoples Charitable home at South Ha-
ven were entirely destroyed by fire late
Friday night. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance. The fire
originated from defective fue in a fur
mace chimney and started in an attic at
the south end of the main building and
spread rapidly . the flames being famed
by hard north wind, which blew en-
bers on adjoining buildings and endan-
gered them so much that wet blankets
were spread on the roofs, while bucket
brigades assisted the regular firemen,
insufficient water force was also re-
sponsible for part of the loss, the
stream from the hose not reaching the
roof A tear in the hose also caused
trouble. The 30 old people who were
inmates Of the place were carried out in
chairs and taken to neighboring houses
while spectators assisted in removing
the large amount of furniture and cloth
ing The larger portion OF this was
saved but carload of coal and several
hundred bushels of vegetables in the Gel
lar was burned. The place is run by S,
Michels and means a great loss to the
city as we'll as the old people who made
the place their home for the remaining
days of their life.

his wife, and held clandestine meetings
with her; that he visited her at home,
and gave her money, presents, etc., and
that he finally induced her to leave her
home. The parties to the suit all reside
in Bangor, and large number of Ban
gor people were called as witnesses.
There were 16 witnesses sworn for plain
tiff and l9 for defendant. The trial of
the case lasted four days, and the Jury,
after being out nearly all the afternoon
and until o'clock at night, brought in
verdict for plaintiff in the sum Of
81, $50 and costs of suit, This was the
