trayaI of Life at Westward Ho,
Asserts Captain st. John.

Schooiboy memories of a queer little
lad who afterward was Rudyard Kip
ling were told by Captain Arthur St
John, retired officer of the English
army, world traveller and leader in
the movement to reform English pris-
, ons and a delegate from England to
the international prison congress
"It was in 1878 or 1870 that first
remember Kipling." said Captain St
John. 81 was then in the upper form
Of the United Service school, West
ward Ho, which is on the north Devon
coast. A queer little understood lad
he was then, perhaps thirteen years
old
User of Loro Words.
81 remember him distinctly, and
knew him as well as an older boy in a
large school usually knows his juniors.
Kipling's fondness for long words
made him noticeable The older boys
knew him as the little fellow who
knew the meanings of long words
HE would give little information if
you asked him what the words meant.
He was afraid Of being jollied. For
all that, he was not a chap who would
care for his own rights very well.
81 remember particularly, that the
older boys would order the lad to eat
worms or dirt or something as delicate.
He would pretend to obey and would
go through the form of eating the
worms assigned to him. don't know
whether he did or not.
I'VE older boys knew him also as
the little fellow who would eat worms.
For all his apparent yielding 1 never
| felt that the subserviency went very
deep. He would apparently yield be
cause he was unable to do otherwise
We felt, however, that below the sur.
face his spirit was his own.
Criticised For "StaIky."
'FOf course he was never good at any
form Of athletics. Although Westward
Ho is situated on the ocean, 1 do not
remember that Kipling was even q
good swimmer. He was understood
and too nearsighted for sports. His
story, 'Stalky & Co.. was written
about Westward Ho. OF course the
story is not correct portrayal of the
school life There used to be a story
that Kipling dared not meet his school
mates after writing the story. / car

Anglo-Indian stories. l was born in
Jolander. in the Punjab region, and
later served with my regiment in In
dia, among other places. The officers
attached to the Indian service resented
the life which Indian officers lead III
the stories-the whisky and women
features 1 refer to. Still. all who know
Indian life know that he interpreted
the Indian character well, and most
English officers are fond of the straight
Indian stories"

TALKING Business.

Talking Business.
What are the wild waves saying7
do not understand
As coldly they are spraying
The somber autumn sand.
But. being good AZ guessing.
1 think I reed this note:
'OId man. it's quite distressing.
You need an overcoat."
In summer when the breezes
The heeting foam fecks chase
And every prospect pleases
And pleasure sets the pace
The waves may whisper lightly
OF love and brides OF June
To those who wander nightly
Beneath the silver moon.
To youth and maiden strolling
Along the whitened beach
They murmur In their rolling
OF lovey dove and peach.
They help along romances
With language OF their own
And give 10 stealthy glances
A pleasant undertone.
But when the autumn season
Has chased away the crowd
Rhyme gives a place TO reason,
And then they talk out loud
The waves that once were humunfnw
The song the lover sings
Now talk OF coal and plumbing
And such distressing things.

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

WHEN a woman refuses a man she
hopes that he may not go TO the
dogs and he hopes that she may not
regret her mistake.
1t makes n man mad to sue the &C.
count when he reflects that the world
owes him living.
Refinement and style are feminine
fetishes. Strength and shrewdness are
masculine fetishes.
Mans inhumanity to man makes
countless millions of dividends.
Have faith in human nature, but re-
member that it is natural for some
men to lie.
Faith may move mountains, but Il
won't dig bitches.
When a man gets the idea into his
head that he is abused the only rem
edy is to really abuse him.
Don't say that there is no truth nor
honesty left. People may wonder how
you know.
Be glad that you are alive and II
will help some to try to make the
neighbors glad.

State,

Perhaps the bitterest arraignment
of defendant ever heard in the

torney II. II. Brown in his closing
argument for the state in the Newt
Starks murder trial last night, and
today Mr.. Brown is receiving the
congratulations of the entire local
bar on his mastery effort. Many
local lawyers contend but for that
speech verdict of not guilty would
have been returned by the jnry,
instead verdict of manslaughter
in the first degree was found and
the punishment assessed at four
years in the states prison at Nc
Alester
This morning was taken up with
the Jake Lewis murder trial The
attorneys for the defendant intro
duced a mass Of affidavits to the ef-
feet that the defendant could not
obtain a fair and impartial trial
in Carter county, and prayed for
change of venue. The county attor-
ney introduced counter affidavits
showing that a fair trial could be
had and insisted that the trial pro-
ceed. The attorneys for the defense
objected to all OF the counter affi-
davits, contending that they did not
set out the facts which was over
ruled by Judge Russell, the attor-
neys for the defense then desired
to introduce authorities sustaining
their contention, but were unable
TO convince the judge that their mo-
ton was well taken. The attorneys
for the defense asked the privi-
lege Of cross questioning some of
those who filed counter affidavits
which was granted and subpoenas
were issued for ten witnesses who
appeared and were examined by the
<ilNtl VIC Atpllllo-
ny of the witnesses the judge over
ruled the motion for a change of
venue and ordered the attorneys to
appear in court at three o'clock,
file a motion for continuance or
be prepared to go into trial.
This promises to be hard fought
case and the outcome will be watch
ed with a great deal of interest by
the citizens of the city and coun-
ty. Attorney J. B. Champion for
the defense said Immediately after
adjournment that il the witnesses
were in town he would not file a
motion for continuance, otherwise
he would be compelled to do so.
