HOW kIpLING poEs IT.

Rudyard Tipling Is not nearly so
much of cosmopolitan as he seems.
In his poems and prose he appears to
have an almost universal nrst-hand
knowledge of men and matters. but
such is not the case His knowledge
in many instances Is secondhand in
the best sense.
Some one asked Kipling nor long
ago how he ever came to have such
exhaustive knowledge of Arctic life
as he showed in one of us shore
stories In reply. he took from
shelf a United States Government
report on Alaska and handed 1t to mis-
interrogation In that volume all that
Kipling knew of the subject was put
in the matter-of-fact language OF TO
naturalist and the ethnologist From
these pages, this greater writer nad
absorbed not only the facts, but also
the very spirit OF the life beyond the
Arctic circle, just as much 50 as If
he had lived in a hut all through the
terrible winter, dshed through ice
holes, or slain the seal ana walrus tor
food and raiment
Although countless numbers IF taesc
reports fill private and public libra
rics, Kiplng Is the only man who
has appreciated the literary vaiue of
the volumes, which are usually thought
to be not worth the printing.
Kipltngs latest book is written for
juvenile readers, but in 1t he again re-

CHOOSING THE LEGISLATIVE WILL

According to the New York Evening
Post, more than 10000 bil.i were intro
duced into the SiXtieth Congress in the
year 1oo7-'oa In the present Congress,
| exclusive of the session which has just
closed, nearly $1,000 bills were intro
duced. In 1909 Congress and the sew
eral States enacted 1900 laws. Dur
ing the years 19O7-'O9, $1,000 bills
were introduced in the Houses of the
various State Legislatures.
There is something radically wrong
in a situation like this The nation
does not peed one-third of the laws
proposed. The real trouble is that so
many of these measures are introduced
with no thought of their passage at any
time. They are put on the calendar
so that they may furnish buncombe ana
campaign material for the member who
introduces them Many of these are
introduced with the hope that they

so that the member may rant against

To the folks at the corner store, the

porations" at Washington that whipped
a bill that never was intended to be
passed.
The right to introduce bill can
hardly be curtailcd, but it does seem a
great pity that there could not be some
sort of method to limit the number of
to be introduced.

THE SEVEN GARNETTs.

Garnet of Ben Lomond. distinguish
ed iurist and statesman of ante bellum
Virginia. 1t is said that no father
gave more sons than he to either army
which fought in the War Between the
States, and, as much ado has been
made about Mrs. Bixby, who gave five
sons to the Union cause and was con-
graduated so touchingly therefor by
President Lincoln, the claim seems to
be most reasonable.
Draped fittingly in the flags of vir-
GINA and of the Confederacy, tablet
was unveiled in the court house
at Tappahannocl last Monday. 1t
commemorated the public service of
Judge Muscoe Garnett and the seven
gallant sons who were not disobedient
unto the call of their mother State.
Senator Daniel was to have been the
orator OF the occasion, but on account
of his ill-health the unveiling had been
postponed from time to time until the

patriotic Nirsinians as none others
could We're closed in death before an
opportunity came.
1t must have been a ceremony that
brought mist to the eyes and a
stirring Of love of country to the soul.
The addresses We're made by one of
the gallant seven, Muscoe Garnett, Jr.,
and by his grandson, W. c. Garnett.
The 'ridewater Democrat well says that
the names on the tablet were sacred
to those two speakers. The task was
delicate one. The addresses were
fun of tender pathos"

Mississippi Boat Crews.

Gambling among their employees is
usually frowned upon by employers,
but there Is a notable exception to
this rule" G. A. Trainer of New Or
leans was saying to a companion In
the lobby of the New Willard.
IF it were not for the gambling
habit some of the big boats of the
Mississippi river trade would be minus
their crews at the end of a trip.
The negro deckhand is an ~inveterate
gambler. He will shoot craps for
any amount of money he has. Some
Of the captains begin paying off when
the boat Is half a day away from the
last stop. AS soon as the hands get
their pay most of them begin to roll
the bones Little groups will be
formed, and pretty soon n man in
each group has all the money. Then
the big winners get together for a
game with higher stakes. AS a result
of this process by the time the boat
reaches the wharf a few men have
almost all the payroll. They don't
want to work, but the others, who
are cleaned out are obliged to. Con
s%equently the boat has a crew for the
return trip."-Washington Post.
