DORCHESTER FOOTBALL CLUB.  We congratulate the members of the Dorchester Club on their splendid financial position, as shown by the last balance-sheet. The club has a balance in hand to begin the season of about £2B. This must be very satisfactory to all concerned. Special praise is due to Mr. G. Dudley Docker for the manner in which he has worked as hon. secretary and hon. treasurer of the club ; and deep regret is expressed at his relinquishing these offices, which he has held for four years. Mr. Docker has not left the ship in a sinking state ; Lut, on the contrary, in a very flourishing condition from a financial point of view. If the play has fallen back a little it has not been due to Mr. Docker. We hope that this sea son Dorchester will show up well, and tluit the cup will find a resting place in the county town. The selection of Mr. Sidney Miles to the captaincy was a very good one. He is a pretty little player, and well merits the post of honour which has been conferred on him. We have no doubt that Mr. G. Williams will also render a good account of himself as vice-captain. With such a large balance in hand the club would do well to extend its borders. Interest in the game throughout the county has not lessened but rather increased, and with Secretary Watkins at the head of affairs we can rely upon a rattling good season's play.

WHY KIPLING ALT ERED THE STORY. Most readers of KIPLING will remember that he wrote two entirely different endings to "The Light that Failed.' In the first he married the blind hero to his selfish little sweetheart, and in the other he made her jilt him and send the poor fellow to inferential suicide. Here is a story which is going the rounds as to the reasons which induced KIPLINO to originate those two widely divergent finales. Not long after the original appearance of the novel, it is stated, KIPLING was in a railway train, and happened to notice a couple on an adjoining seat. They were evidently husband and wife, and the man was stone blind. He looked frail and ill, and his affliction had so intensified the ordinary discomforts of travel that his temper was on a rasping edge. From one end of the journey to the other he grumbled and complained incessantly, but the woman bore his murmurings with all the patient tenderness that a mother might exhibit toward a petulant baby. She was continually doing little things to make him more comfortable, soothing him, cheering him up, and guarding him against annoyance. Time and again he repulsed her with downright Ibrutality, but her temper never ruffled for an instant, and that night the observant author declared to some friends that he had made a great mistake in his new romance. No such ferocious egotist as Maisie, he said, could possibly resign herself to the companionship of a blind man. A sacrifice of that sort called for qualities of self-effacement and aelf-abnegation which she did not possess, and without delay he sat down and re-wrote the last four chapters of hi. book. Many people think he vastly improved it, although the original ending was probably better suited to the popular palate.  ordinary railway passenger car, and would
