\ number of shocks have been felt in the north of late Sept. 24, last a distinct shock was felt in SkaGway at o'clock in the morning. Many Daw- -uuitcS were there then. and have writ ton of their experience. No violent results occurred. but many slc"pors were awakened

.RUDYARD KIPLING'S
 FIRST POEM

LONDON. - Tcacup storms in liter ary circles are plentiful The latest over hcrc affects Rudyard Kipling II is because of q hint that the Nobel prize for literature for 19O1 is to be given to Mfr. Kiplng. Forty thousand dollars in one lump sum is not likely to he snccz"d at even by tbe most sue ,casful author and then there is also The honor of the award
 This is the tim" of year when all sorts of rumors crop out as to the lucky mon who will D" selected for these great annual prizes. The Stock. lolm newspapers are usually well in advance. This was certainly the case last year with President Roosevelt and he peace prizes,
 The Stockholm TldninGen k author ty for the statement about the liter Try prize and Kipling. IL also declares hat the result lay between tho Anglo Saxnns. Mark Twain and Kipling and hat the Englishman won SO to speak by an cyclash.
 There is no confirmation of tho re- port and kipling himself has denied 1t, yet the mere publication has started warm discussion among the literary giants and small fry of Europe as to the merits of the two men. There are some peopl" who cannot sec that Mark Twain has accomplished anything last Ing for literature. Yet the American humori~t k undoubtedly favored by the majority of England against the Englishman
 KiplinE appears to D" n" longer a prophet in his own country. At the public libraries there k nowadays a greater demand for Mark Twan's works than for Kiplngs The latter has been much out of tn" lmelight of late. He has been in South Africa great deal. His latest work, Puck of Pook's Hill published scrially in the Strand Magazine and issued as a novel this summer. and his poem on the Burdens of Martha, published here by the London Standard. are the only two things he has done in some time. liner" are occasional rumorS as to his bad health as an excuse for paucity of out put. I hear however that he has been hard at work for many months or a startling novel the scenes of which are laid in London and south Africa. This will rot likely be issued until the new year although its publication may be hastcn"d should the rumor regarding the Nobel prize prove to he truc.
 Apropos of Kiplmg's latest work it is interesting to note that an old school fellow has uncarthcd his very first work. little poem written when school boy in knickerbockers at West ward Hoi This school the United Ser vice college, by the way, has just nov ed to the royal borough of Windsor, and has been amalgamated with the ancient school of St. Marks, the neigh bor and diminutivc edition of Eton basking in the sunshine of Windsor castle.
 kipling as boy began his worship of Browning. whom he later declared was his literary hero The first poem he ever wrote he headed By R--t B--g." and called it the Jampot Here are the lines:
 The Jampot--tender thought,
 I grabbed it; so did you
 What wonder while we fought
 Together that 1t flew
 Tn shivers," you rctort.
 You should have loosed your hold
 One moment; checked your fist.
 But as it was--too bold,
 You grappled--and you missed,
 (More curtly, you were sold).

 Heroires Getting Up in Years.
 Evidently the woman of thirty-fve is going to take the same place in lit- erature as the man of forty. It is a noticeable fact that the heroines of the latest novels are older women than for merly The ideal heroine of romance nineteen. Yet here we have in nearly all the first rank novels of this yearS summer and fail season succession of herones who are at least twenty-fve and some near thirty years of age. Tho high water mark was reached last week when a favorite English novelist produced a heroine of thirty-five. An thony Hopes heroines are putting on years. Elinor Glyn's siren is anything from twenty-five to thirty-flve, accord ing to the light. Robert Kitchens makes his heroine in The Call of the Blood quite woman, and the guilty wife in w B. Maxwelrs Guarded Flame is approaching thirty. while the Bar oness Von Hutten's Pam owns to twen- ty nine. IL is the same with the very latest heroines of Percy White, Eliza beth Robins and John Galsworthy. They are all charming. delicious wo- men, not girls In their teens as of old What is the reason for this sudden change? Everybody is asking. but no one is answering.

CHAPMAN ON BIBLE READING
Delivers His Second Sermon of inc Day at the Church of the Redee,ncr

Dr. Chapman preached his second sermon of the day at the Central dis trict last evening which is to hold It's meetings in the Church of the Redeem CT. The church was crowded to the doors. The feature of the meeting was the singing. which was excellent. The chorus, which will sing during the meetings, did well for it's first evening together. It was under the direction of pr. Chapmans personal chorus lead CT. Charles F. Allen. The soloist was Paul j. Gilbert.
 Dr. Chapman took for the topic of his sermon, Lord, where shall we go?" We used to think" he said that the east is vastly different and that it is hard to move. but the more we have to do with it in this evangelistic work we think this is not so But the way to accomplish the desired results can be attained is only through prayer.
 'The utterance I have taken for my text Is one of the most pathetic re- corded in the New Testaments Jesus asked it at a time when Alf His fol- lowers but very few had left Him. i There is always sitting of the fol- | lowers of Jesus Christ. There are I many different reasons for this Some see intellectual difficulties in following | Him.
 Dr. Chapman said he himself had come near at one time giving up his | pastorate. Even his membership in the church had been in question and all because of one doubt he had about one doctrine. He did not say what one. He said that at present 1t is that same belief that he finds his greatest | aid. The followers of Jesus Christ are sifted through trial Then they are tried. Heart strings are tested, but if they are nearly broken it is only be- cause He is tuning them anew for sweeter music.
 "God will not use life that is not clean. Christian men have had much to be thankful for, but not more than you who have birth, home and culture. And if you are not true, there will be the reckoning at the judgment"
 One reason for the loss of power i: the prayerless life. another is the lack of proper Bible reading. In the latter connection pr. Chapman gave five goot rules for effectual Bible reading. They were these: Study thoroughly, pray make it your own. work it out. and pass on.
 At the conclusion of his sermon Dr Chapman led in prayer At the end O the prayer, while all heads were bowed "a wonderful effect was got by ths ' singing of "Old Jordan's waves I Shal Not Fear" by NIT. Gilbert.
 il J. A. Alexander, the noted evangel- ist, who has been associated with Mf Torrey. was present and spoke.
 At the district meeting this evening Mir and Mrs. Asher will explain whai

that four out of every five do so before they are 20 years of age.
 All should receive Christ. he said Tn conclusion. because that is the only way to get ready for the other world We are not living for time. but foI all eternity and we should remember that.
 The church was well filled with young people. At the end of his sermon Dr Granstaff called for all those who wish ed to be ranked with the church t come forward and there was large number to do so.
 The soloist was o. F. Pugh.

those who are dear to you. Only the tired feet may get into green pastures.
 You all believe in the fatherhood of God. That you learned at your moth- CTS knee. But what want to ask you tonight Is, Have you thought your truths out as to what will become of you long after the last star has blazed out and the light of the last day has sunk In the sky? For long after that you will live. God is invested in you. Is the truth vivid, burning, real? Is your idea of Christianity one of a beautiful worship in tabernacle on a mountain side? Or is it to be in the marketplace? I see a note of human brotherhood in the labor unions. in the socialists. in the scientific movements l see great sacrifices being made every day for political reasons. Where Is the human brotherhood of the church? Is It growing, too? What road have eithe, Of us trod with burning feet? For mos, of us religion is qualification, not q solace Some of you have never seer the little hells. the deep abysses wher, spirits die unredeemed, that are close to your doors."
 pr Dawson ended with stirring ap. peal to his hearers to go into the worl Of the meetings and to come with al zeal There were plenty of people within a stones throw of the buildin, who were hungry for religion. Fac person should take the work to him self personally and see to it that h does his best to further it.
 On the platform were Rev. William H, Kidd. Rev. Dr. W w. Leete, Rev W. " McLane, Rev Edward F. Goir and Rev. James W. Davis. A. B. Da vidson was the soloist and choru leader.

DIR. GRANsTOFF TO YOUNGSTERS.
Speaks at CalNary Church on "How to

Rev. Dr. Granstaff spoke to young people between the ages of 12 and 20 at Calvary Baptist church yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock He took for his subject, How to Gecome a Chris tian," taking for his text Acts xvl-3l: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
 To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, he said, meant to receive Him. to com nit oneself to Him, and to obey Him. One reason why everybody should be- come a Christian is because it is so easy. And the sooner it is done, the easier it is That is. the longer one waits and the older one gets, the more difficult it is to break with the old things and join the church.
 Dr. Granstaff said that three out of every four persons that join the church do so before they are 15 years old and
