TRICKS OF WRITER'S
A Ruse by Which kipIins Piaued His
Readers Curiosity.

heS0STS SdfiOstky.
"When l first began to read Kip
ling" said an admirer, my curiosity
was immensely piqued by the scraps
of verse with which he usually headed
his early stories. They were all cred
tied to poems l had never heard of in
striking fragments as would naturally
whet ones appetite for the remainder.
For over a year l tried hard to locate
those mysterious poems and enlisted
half q dozen book dealers in tie
search. At last one of them wrote Inc
that l was wasting time and that the
alleged quotations were merely Mr..
Kipling's little joke.
'In other words, he manufactured
'em to order and stuck them at the top
of his tales for the sake of the odor of
erudition they lent TO the production.
1 was mad for while, but when |
cooled off had good big laugh. OF
course you know Scott used to do the
same thing. and so, for that matter,
did Edgar Allan Poe. Poe was really
the worst quotation fakir of the lot.
He would write wise sounding de-
tached sentences and credit them to
Imaginary German philosophers with
long, outlandish. and impressive names.
However, / don't know why the thing
should be punishable. The business OF
a writer Of fiction is TO create an illu-
sion, and as long as he does it fol
one am not particular what means he
employs to contribute TO the end

OUR GAS TO LIGHT EUROPE
Scheme to Pipe 1t From Oklahoma and
Across the Atlantic.

Scheme to Pipe It From Oklahoma and
Across the Atlantic.
1t is within the realm of possibility
that within ten years continental Eu.
rope will be supplied by gas for both
illuminating and power purposes sent
directly through pipe line from Okla
homa. Alexander A. Eberson of st.
Louis, who recently secured a conces.
sion to establish at Hayre, France, the
first American packing house in Eu-
rope, is now figuring on the feasibility
of supplying Europe with the natural
gas of the United States.
"Oklahoma already supplies the
states of Oklahoma, Kansas, Indiana
and the northwestern part of Texas
with natural gas" said Mr.. Eberson
Oklahoma to ST. Louis and from In
diana to Pittsburg.
MY clients, who have immense
leases in the Indian Territory and who
supply the Standard Oil company with
oil. have made up their minds to pipe
their gas, if it is at all possible, to
Europe. The gas does not cost any
thing. and we see no reason why II
should not pay to lay pipe line from
Oklahoma across Kansas, Missouri
Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia to New York and then across the
Atlantic to Europe. The supply OF
natural gas is illimitable When we
start a .gusher we often get 5000 bar.

proposed excursion 10 the site of the
Ot.ro ditch reservoir in Chaffee coun-
,y. The committee has secured a
rate from General Passenger Agent
Hall. of the Santa Fee. OF 1876 for
the round trip. II will require two
days to make the trip. and If the
necessary one hundred can be Sc
cured the excursion will probably
take place on Monday. October 18th.
The Santa Fe will provide a special
train OF sleeping cars. with din
ing car attached. II desired. but this
will of course be an added expense.
The trip will be made over the Santa
Fe TO Colorado Springs and from
there over the Midland. through the
most picturesque mountain scenery
in the state. to Granite. The trip
of itself will be worth the money
without the added opportunity Of see
ing a reservoir site whose success
full operation means so much to La
