OREGON CITY COURIER-HERALD. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 6. i8qo. STORIES OF KIPLING. Interesting Characteristics of the Noted Author. EXPEEIEKOE IN A YANKEE OOTJET. Curiosity of HI Fellow Cltlaena In the Balestier Cae A Critic's View of Kipling's Work In India De scription of His Home Near Brat tleboro. Apropos of the visit of Rndyard Kip ling to the United States the following story about the author will be of inter est: ; "You Temember," said a friend, "the difficulty that Kipling had with his wife's brother, Beatty S. Balestier, in the spring -of 180Q? Well, you re member that he had Balestier arrested for using improper and indecent lan guage toward him aud threatening his life? When Balestier came up for ex amination? Kipling had to go on the stand. The courtroom was crowded with as many of the citizens of Brattle boro and the surrounding country as could be packed, jammed and wedged into it. "From the time Kipling first came to that section of Vermont none of the people had ever been able to find out much about him. He held himself aloof from the natives, minded his own busi ness and discouraged any advances that most of them made toward establishing friendly relations. They wanted to know what his house was like on the inside. They never found out,, because they never got farther than the door. They wanted to know how he lived and worked, what he ate and when and how much he slept. They never had a chance to gratify their curiosity until the Balestier case came up. Then they concluded that they might have a chance to feast their eyes and ears. "The lawyers on both sides, local practitioners, understood the motive that attracted so many people to the trial, and, wishing to do all they could for their fellow citizens, thus increas- 'he style of some Englishmen, was ac customed to go about in the shabbiest f clothes. He was always home an liour before dinner, however, and in that hour he' made a complete change of toilet. When he appeared in the dining room, he was arrayed in immaculate linen and full evening dress. It was his unvarying custom, when engaging a servant, to pledge him to absolute secrecy regarding the daily life of his master or any of the customs of his house. It is not generally known, by the way, that by his marriage Kipling became related to William McKinley. Mrs. William Glidden, Mrs. McKinley's aunt, is Major McKinley's first cousin. Kipling was born in India in 1865. His father is John Lockwood Kipling, C. I. R, for many years principal of the Mayo School of Industrial Art and cu rator of the museum at Lahore. Rudyard Kipling was educated in England and then returned to India in 1880, where his best known works were written. New York Sun. . BOMBARDMENT AVERTED. KIPLING'S VERMONT HOME. ing their own popularity, they asked Kipling all sorts of questions. Neither Kipling's nor Balestier's lawyers inter posed many objections to questions that clearly had no bearing on the case were irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. "It happened, therefore, that Kipling was obliged to give, in the course of his examination, a great deal of person al and family history. While he was on the stand Brattleboro learned more about Kipling than it ever hoped to know and was greatly pleased in con sequence. Kipling had taken much pleasure, up to this time, in knowing that his neighbors were just devouring themselves with a curiosity that they had no means of gratifying. When he found that he had to tell so much about himpelf he was the most disgusted man in the state of Vermont. The one thing he wanted was to get away from the place and forget, if he could, all about his first and only experience in an American law court. Almost immedi ately after the case was concluded and Balestier was bound over to keep the peace the Kiplings began to make prep arations for their foreign trip. "But there is another reason one How Hobson and Ills Men Regained . TUelr Freedom. In the February Century, General Shatter, writing of "The Capture of Santiago, " tells how he procured the release of Lieutenant Hobson and his men. At the request of the foreign consuls and in the interest of the women and children, I gave notice that the threat ened bombardment would not take place ontil noon of July 5. On that clay I telegraphed to Washington that I should not open fire until I got Lieutenant Hobson and his men out of the city and should not then, if the taking of the place required an assault, as I consider ed that starving the enemy out was bet tor. Having a number of Spanish prison ers, I determined to effect the exchange of Hobson, if possible. On the 6th Gen eral Toral assented to my proposition. and Lieutenant Miley was sent to effect it. The commissioner appointed by the Spanish commander was Major Yrles. The meeting took place under the broad ceiba tree where the surrender after ward was made. After an hour was con sumed in arranging the details, three Spanish officers were taken out blind folded. To Lieutenant Miley'a surprise. the Spanish commissioner selected an officer who had been wounded in the arm at the battle of San Juan, an ao quaintance of his. We had intended to parole him if he had not been taken. and Lieutenant Miley had a pnper in his pocket for that purpose. Seven Span ish soldiers were exchanged for the sev en American Bailors. Lieutenant Hobson was then brought within our lines, where he was enthusiastically cheered by the army. I had learned from the English Consul that Hobson was confined in one of the large buildings nearest us. It was in plain sight, and from it floated the red cross. It was under fire, and as it was a building full of windows I was afraid he might be in danger. Gun fire would not have been directed toward it, but shots will go astray, especially rifle shots. The fleet, which was bombarding eight miles away, would be likely to hit it. I was very glad to get Hobson ana his men out of the way. The fact that they were released by the army has never been acknowledged by officers of the navv. who simply speak of the re turn of Mr. Hobson to his duty. STORY OF THE PRESIDENT mm The little Dutch boy who stopped the leak in the dike with his finger saved his country from over whelming destruc tion. You have read about him in your hool readers, how he was walking along the dike when he heard a faint sound of trickling water, and knew at once that a leak had sprung in that great embank ment which saves Holland from the devas tations of the hungry sea. It was early in the night, ana no one was near at hand. The leak was small when he found it, but he knew that the action of the water would enlarge it long before morning, and wash away the entire embankment, inundate the country and destroy his own and thou sand ot Homes, so he bravely put his finger in the crevasse, and kept it there all trie long mgnt through, until hslp came ana the opening was properly stopped. He had saved his country. Equally insignificant is the entrance of disease into the human system. The be ndunings of the most terrible ailments are so small they can be easily stopped at the start. Your health is a dike whh keeps out and stops the inroads of dangerous and devastating disease. Whenever it breaks down, no matter how shehtlv. there is an opening for disease to enter.

J"vf( IIow the Chief Executive Gave Sena tor Culloni an Elevator Ride, White House attaches have many stories of the unfailing democratic courtesy of the president which has made hiiu so popular with public men. Their latest story is of an incident which concerned Senator Cullom. A week or two after his fall on the ice, from which he is still suffering, Sen- connected with his literary career that Bor Cullom called at the White House, prompted the trip. A few years ago a ge wag iame from his accident, and critic, writing of Kipling's work done I warked with difficulty with the assist- in India, said: 'Besides the silly worm ance 0f a cane. that disports itself throughout most of his poetry and some of his prose, there is another Anglo-Indian world, which for high aims and a certain steadfast ness in effort, after the personal interest in effort is well nigh dead, has never had an equal in-history. Some day a writer will arise perhaps this young man who will make that nobler Anglo Indian world known as it really is.' Kipling paid more attention to that criticism than sny that was ever made of his writings. He made up his mind to follow its suggestion." Rudyard Kipling was married on Jan. 18, 1892, to Miss Carolyn Balestier, a daughter of the late Walcott Balestier, Sr.. a wealthy resident and retired law yer of Brattleboro, Vt The wedding took place in All Souls' church,' Port land place, London. It was said to be the fulfilment of a wiBh expressed by Mrs. Kipling's brother, the late Wal cott Balestier, Jr., in collaboration with whom Kipling wrote the novel, "The Naulahka," Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Kipling came to America for a brief visit They visited Mrs. Kipling's family at Brattleboro, and so charmed was Kipling with the country that he bought a piece of property in the little hamlet of Dummerston, a short distance from Brattleboro, and there built a house, which, with furnishings, is said to have cost $50,000. The house is a long, low building, 90 by 26, with pro jecting roof that has just the suggestion of a thatch. A wide veranda extends along one entire end of the house. A long hall divides the house in the mid tile, there being 11 rooms on either side of the halL The house looks not unlike an Indian bungalow. It is built on a hill side overlooking the Connecticut river, and th nnlv entrance is in the rear. At every approach to the house is to be found the sign, "No trespassing on these grounds." Kipling's room is in the southeast corner, from the windows of which a view of the river may be bad for miles up or down. Ia the daytime Kipling, following ASTRO LOG I ST MRS.

After a satisfactory interview, dunnz which the situation was canvassed, the Illinois senator with ; infinite difficulty prepared to go down stairs. "Not that way. senator," said the president "Let's take the elevator. " On reaching the elevator the president found to his dismay there was no con ductor. "Step in,senator. Iguesslcan manage this thing all right" and be fore he knew what had happened the Illinois senator was being carried to the main floor with the president of the United States as his elevator boy. The situation was so curious Senator Cullom forgot all his pains and, with a smile, said: "You're a pretty good machine man. after all, Mr. President Of course I am, said the president as he deposited the invalid senator safe ly on the ground floor and started back to the upper floor to the consternation of the attendant whose humble duties were freely assumed by the chief execu tive.
