Gossip Of Books and Writers

The following item by Harry Thurs
ton Peck in the Bookman is not nice.
but if there were no truth in it at all
it would not offend so:
Looking ispassionately upon things
as they stand today the American re-
public is perfectly tranquil. for it is
the master of things. All the ma
tions look to it with Difference. 1t is
not very much of a 'jellyfsh.' For
that matter the English are all right.
too. Some thousands of them have an
attack of nerves, but the nation itself
we believe to be as mighty, as wise
and as invincible as ever. It's pre-
Dreadnoughts alone could demolish the
combined fleets of Germany and France.
A German corps, If 1t should be landed
on English soil, would simply be eaten
up, in spite of I<ipling's prophecies and
the fearsome drama of Major Guy du
Maurier. Yes, the English people are
what they always have been.
But with poor Kipling the case is
different. He is like Michele de Cruze
when the last white drop oozed out of
his veins as he quivered and shivered
before the young English assistant col
lector In Kipling's own story, His
Chance of Life Kipling affords an
interesting illustration of the psy-
chology of names. He was originally
christened Joseph Rudyard Kipling, but
he suppressed the Joseph quite sue
cessfully during the early and brilliant
period of his career. Yet such things
are bound to work themselves out In
the long run. Therefore we have wit
messed the disappearance of Rudyard
Kipling laureate of an empire, master
OF imagination, reckless but splendid
imperialist. In his place we now have
the very commonplace figure of Joseph
r. Kipling, middle class. prosperous
and provincial Englishman--who is
afraid
The similarity of their names has
caused some confusion among readers
as to the Identity respectively of Mrs.
Florence Kelley and Mrs. Florence
Finch Kelly. The latter, who is the
author of "Rhoda of the Underground"
and of two previous novels which dealt
with life in the southwest. is g. daugh-
ter of Kansas, who after some years
in newspaper and magazine work
turned her attention to writing fiction.
Mrs. Florence Kelley is a. daughter
of William d. Kelley, who for 80 years
was a member of congress from Penn
sylvania and has been sometimes called
"the father of protection She mar
ried Polish count, but in the course of
events was allowed by the court to re-
sumo her maiden name. She has since
devoted herself mainly TO the child
labor movement and has done notable
work in that line in several states.
Both women live in New York city.
The San Francisco call., 1909-11-14
"Abaft the Funnel"
By Rudyard Kipling.

BY Rudyard Kipling. Published by B. K.
Dodge Co., New York. Price sl.5o.
An anonymous hand, "A. F." has
delved into the obscure Indian period
icals OF 1883 and 1889 and, with the
best intentions in the world. rescued
some 30 short stories by Kipling. They
should have excited their readers in the
eighties, for even today they are far
above the average magazine short story
but the author himself did not consider
them Of sufficient merit to be included
in his collected works, and for that rea-
son. if for no other. they should hav.
been allowed to rest in obscurity.
These stories are really Kipling's FIRST
attempts In literature, and in several of
them one can see the germ of a later
creation. An example is "The Like of
U.s." which is Mulvaney story but the
big sergeant is called Gunner Barnabas
and he disciplines little cockney named
Shalklock, who appears to be a sort of
first sketch OF Private Ortheris. While
interesting to Kipling lovers and TO
Kipling students, they do not add TO
the Kipling fame.
Some Of the stories are amusing and
some are weird and horrible. All bear
the mark of youth plainly and a certain
