PAGE TWO [SHOULD BE LITERARY SHRINE imom in London Where Rudyard Kipling, Thirty Years Ago, Wrote “The Light That Failed.” Thirty years make few changes in a |London stréet, and Villiers street run- ning down to the Thames past the smoke-smudged walls of Charing 'Cross rallway station Is much the same as when Rudyard Kipling-lived 'in’ Number. 19, the Embankment cham- bers, and - struggled for recognition ifrom the London editors, says Arthur Bartlett Maurice in “Literary Plligrim- ages” in the New York Herald. The third-floor rooms in the Em- bankment chambers where Kipling worked in his early twenties are the scene of nearly all the storles with a London background that he has writ- ten. “For example, ‘The Light That Failed! The rooms shared by Tor- penhow and Dick Heldar were Kip- ling’s own rooms. From the doorway ;of No. 19 poor. Dick. stricken with blindness, groped down to the water's ,edge for the sense of the Thames’ 'damp and the feel of the ships that wafted to his nostrils the pungent !smells of the East. ‘Lying across that doorway, ‘Torpenhow first found Hessle Broke, the little street girl ifrom ‘south ’o the river, who fell in ‘love with him, and revenged herseif .on Dick for his interference by scrap- ing away the face of the Melancholia. On' a table of the Kipling rooms in the Embankment chambers, Charlie 'Mears, of ‘The Finest Story in the World,’ scrawled the words, meaning- {less to him, that told of the agony of the galley slave. The very table once had being. Kipling had been burning ithe midnight oll and generally over- worldng himself. On the table he had graved the words: ‘Oft was I weary when I tolled at thee’—the motto which the galley slave carved upon his oar.” silis - Phone 26-J Frigate Bird’s Endurance. For pure and unadulterated impu- dence, lack of principle and of all virtue, the frigate bird is pre-eminent. These birds must be endowed with prodigious powers of flight. They are often seen hundreds. of miles from land, appearing us mere specks in the sky. After hovering almost motionless for a considerable time they take flight in ever-increasing circles in the direction of their island homes, which have of pecessity to be reached ere the set- ting of the sun, unless the faculty of sleeping on the wing is possessed by them. I have never met or heard of a man who has seen the frigate bird rest on the waters of the ocean over \vmv.h it delights to wander. Next to the albatross, I enter the frigate bird for the aeronautic endur- ance stakes.—Buffalo Express, Sugar Fungus. Tt 1s reported that an expert of the Department of Agriculture has dis- covered that the spoiling of granu- jated Sugar, stored in damp places, re- sults from the development of a mi- croscopic fungus, seen in the form of threads and round bodies, and cap- able of being artificially cuitivated, so that experiments can be made in inoculating sugar previously free from the growth. Three specles of this fungus were found in some bar- rels of sugar which had become unfit for use. It grows readily on all kinds of cooked vegetables, but chiefly on raw vegetables. Key Chain That Stretches. There are times when the user of a key ring and chain wishes the chain were longer. With one such as this, those wishes will come true, for the chain is made of coiled piano wive and will stretch a considerable distance.—~ M. M. Hunting in Scientific Americarn. P. E.

TAKE DELIGHT IN MANIKINS Venetian Children Prefer Anticsy of Marionettes to Any Moving Picture Show. Fashions in entertainments mever change among patrons of the resource- ful Tony Sarg in New York, nor yet on the shores of the Adriatic, home- land of the marionettes. The Vene- tian child wouldn't give u pin for mo- vies while he has the beloved: jaint- ed manikins of his ancestos to ex- ecute their wonderful maneuvers and spout the wpeenheu of Romeo and Ju- liet or ong.of Hans Christian Ander- sen's fairy tales or—yes, or—same ex- citing episode in the detective: career of Sherlock Holmes. Thursday afternoon is the triumphal time of the marionette all over Italy, for Thursddy, not Saturday, is the school holiday, and childhoodls deur- est delight is to witness the drama of the dolls, a New York writer states. Venice has the best public perform- ance. The dolls are about four feet high. Any necessary number of char- acters are placed on the stage and their entrances, exits and antics: are managed by the man above, who does the wire pulling and who puts the speeches into thelr mouths. All sorts of plays are given, and the ordinary type of Punch aad Judy show is less common than fairy tales and Shake- speare on children’s afternoons. Traver Lore. The Woman Who Sees had spring longings for a sea trip as she passed a department gay with travel litera- ture. A bright-looking hoy was tempnr’lr- ily in charge. “Have you a booklet that outlines a trip including Jama- icn?” the Woman asked. . He looked helplessly about and said, “Jamaica? Where's Jamaica, lady? The only one I know is Jamaica ginger.”—~Ex- change. .

ONARCH Malleable Range 00 Down If you expect to get the long satisfactory service your neighbor is getting from her Monarch Range, you have got to buy a MONARCH. Don’t think you can get ‘that jcind jof service from a cheap range, built of ordinary materials. That is impossible, because the Monarch stand- ard of service can only be had from a range built of malleable iron—the Monarch way. - S Ordinary ranges have always been offered for sale in this city. But our people have come to demand a malleable range. The first Monarch Ranges sold here twenty years ago established a new standard of serv- ice. The Monarch’s reputation grew rapidly. More Monarchs have been sold here than any other make of range. And those first Monarchs are still doing their work, proving that money invested in a Monarch pays returns for long years to come, If you do not already understand why malleable iron makes a better range, come in and let us explain it to you. You can see why a Monarch does quicker, better work, with lower fuel cost. .Everyone can afford a Monarch at the terms we offer. In fact, only well-to-do people can af- ford to ignore the economy in cooking expense’ that immediately follows the installation of a Monarch in your kitchen. emidji Hardware Co. BEMIDJI, MINN. / C.
