KIPLING IN VERMONT

The recent death in England of Mrs
Rudyard Kipling, widow of the famous
author and poet, recalls the fact that she
was native of Vermont, and that she and
her famous husband lived in that state
four years after their marriage in 1892
During those four years Kiping pro-
duced some Of his most notable works. in
Guiding the two Jungle Books, Captains
Courageous, most of the poems in The
Seven Seas, and others. Kipling is said to
have liked living in America, except for
one thing. He grew tired of the many at
tentions shown him as a literary celebrity,
and they removed to England in 1896.
Kipling was born in Bombay, India,
where his English father was principal of
a school of art, on December 80, 1865.
The following day, December 81, his
future wife, Caroline Starr Balestier, was
born in Brattleboro, Vermont. They met
in 1890, when Kipling and her brother
were collaborating in literary work, and
were married two years later in London.
The Kiplings had three children a
son and two daughters. The son, Lieu
tenant John Kipling, was killed while
fighting with the British Army in the
World War. One daughter died in child
hood, and the other is Mrs cambridge of
England. Kipling died in 1886.

OUR ANNUAL WARNING

In keeping with an old December Gus
tom, The Citizen wishes to warn it's read
ers to beware of the so-called snowbirds
that annually infest our community.
Snowbirds, according to The Citizens
definition, are men-and Women-whO
have no known means of support, but who
seem to live fairly we'll in the northern re-
sorts in summer and in the southern resorts
in winter. They look prosperous, talk in
boxcar figures and have some fine ideas
that would put Key West in the forefront
as an up-and-coming business center-if
they could find the money to promote their
schemes.
Others are just plain "clip" artists.
They've got to live after they get here and
are on the make from the minute they ar
rive Remember the snowbird who came
down to Key West last season and made
off with large bundle of merchandise
ard cash swindled from our local mer-
chants? He was slick. He rented house,
installed electric and gas meters and then
showed the receipts for these trifling ex-
penditures as evidence of his good faith
and financial standing. 1t was easy then
for him to cash some rubber checks and
make off with some expensive articles de-
livered to the home he rented.
Well, there are number of other
men of the same type going in and out of
Key West every day. They have things to
sell or want to buy or desire to establish
themselves in business. They want cash
for what they sell, such as pretty advertis-
ing copy in phony publications, but de-
mand credit when they buy or try to start
some business venture
Key Westers must be wary. They
must learn to do things on business basis.
They must learn to tell the difference be-
tween solid and substantial men and
women who come down here to live and
help build the community with their own
cash, and those who come down here to
promote something with our cash.
Beware the snowbird! Beware of
quick takers with fast ways of making
money! Check up on references and re-
ceipts! Our merchants have little enough
credit to spare our own less fortunate citi-
zens without wasting it on fly-by-night
promoters and gyp experts Give our de-
cent and well-vouched for guests every
break possible consistent with good bust
ness practices, but do not take chances on
glib strangers.

A news story from London tells of the
attempt of three German prisoners of war
to escape and gives their ages-two seven
teen years old and one fifeen-but, most
interesting detail of all is the fact that the
young men were wearing khaki clothing,
with circular patches sewed on the trouser
legs and on the backs of the jumpers to
serve as targets for guards with rifles.
The youth of the German prisoners is
explained, it seems, by the fact that they
were seamen on a German ship. The grim
horror of war is highlighted by the targets
that fleeing prisoners present to guards
with rifles. In the case reported, the men
