MCPDUKO ANl Nl'DDT-Kn. Tn a, recent piem not complimentary to the land of his birth. Kipling wrote either of muddling oafs or of middled oaf. Contention has arisen as to ex actly whiU he meant. Humanity ynarns to know whether the Eng-llsh oaf is muddle.! or nuddled. That an oaf la muddled Is plain, reasons the Taeoma Iedcer. The very fai-t that he is muddled causes him to be an oaf. The onf mleht as well have been called an Idiot, except that th measure of the poem required few er feet Just at the :a. where th cat appeared. Kipling does not say oommonp'ace things. Nothing' could be more com- monplaee than the assertion that the oaf Is nridVed. ar.d. there- for, the chances are that he d scribed this unfortunate being as nuddled. lor nuddled Is a rare word. It is Just the sort of word that would cause the Kipling soul to thrill of delight A few have had the pleasure of seeinc it in print, and still fewer knowing the meaning of it the won! becomes an object of Interest so absorbing that the mind is. diverted from the theme of the roast There are two significances to nud dle." As a noun, it Is the nap of the neck. A a verb, it Implies the a-t of stooping and keeping the eyes on the gnJund. To be nuddled is to have assumed this position. ' Therefore the player of golf and kindred games is nuddled. and on this point there Is not the slightest need of narreling. The real issue Is as to whether a person so nuddled is of n-eeasity an oaf. Doubtless to Kipling in his present mental state, he appears so.

Kveryboily will wish 4: the climax being capped by the extending of freedom to 128 convicted of burglary-, robbery or larceny. A peculiarity of these pardons was that they were made In secret and the records kept from the press. The re lease in the rases of more than W per cent are said to have been a com plete surprise and in many instan'-eg to have excited string protest. There can be no question but the pardoning power Is often abused, and there will be Uttle question but this mistake was made by Governor Shaw. If the work of the courts Is to be undone by the executive power, considerable effort Is wasted In the effort to maintain the judicial machinery. Courts as a rule are not unduly severe. The hope of checking crime lies In the oo.wlbillty of punishing the criminal. The chance of easy and unostentatious pardon re moves from society one of its neccs sary protections. When criminals are turned loose by wholesale the affair becomes a concern of other communi ties than those from which the prison ers had come. Surprise at the record of Governor .Shaw's clemency was due to the fact that the men releai-d did not go back to their accustomed haunts. Where did they go?

Of what woman of genius could It be said that In thousands of cities multitudes as-v-mbled to mourn her death Th vorld may have admired her wonder ful gifts as author, orator, patriot, or ganlzer find reformer, but the love she inspired followed her personality alone.
