(New York Herald Tribune.) For years it was the fashion to disparage vard Kipling's work, and for more he went virtually without mention except when it was remarked how swiftly his fame had declined. Then even this banal comment ceased to be made about him and some one cherished him the forgotten man of English letters. It was rumored that his name would appear on the King's honor Iist for the Jubilee, but Kip- ling's back luck with jubilees held for this one also. No amends werc made for the royal neglect popu- larly supposed to have been inspired long ago by his lines “Have you heard of the Widow of Windsor, With the golden crown on her head?” Nothing could atone for this indiscretion, it was | commonly believed. Not even the magnificent “Re- cessional” written for Victoria’s Jubilee, which was by no means the first occasional poem written by Kipling to celebrate an event of the great Queen's long reign. Kipling's first production, in fact, was an Ave Imperatrix, an ode to Victoria on the occasion of an attempted as seventeen This precocity was the first of a long list of them that made Kipling famous by the time he was twenty-five, His “Plain.Tales from the Hills" !was written before he had reached his majority. All his novels of life in India had been published in book form before he was twenty-three. By the time he entered the thirties he had become the unofficial herald, if not the laureate, of the British |Empire. It was in 1896 that Lord Cromer, in com- |pany with Cecil Rhodes and Dr. Jameson at Cairo, gave him the imperialist’s accolade with his equivocal |compliment, “Cheeky beggar!” Reaction has been equal this to action, and brilliant early fame has long been unduly obscurodv: that the dilettanti began to Kipling with the cruel It is long ago now raise their noses and dismis: faint praise “A very clever nalist!” There were many to dismiss Mark Twain in his lifetime for similar reasons. He wrote so easily and so popu- larly that none of his work could be meant for the ages. What Kipling says of Mark Twain, in ac- cepting the honorary chairmanship of the Mark Twain centennial in England, some would say, omit- ting superlatives, of his own influence: “To my mind, he was the largest man of his time, both in a confirmation in the r[‘p()-[ of |the direct outcome of his work and, more important | force in an age of iron Phil- debt, still, istinism of course, they did.” as an indirect Later generations don't know their and they Flight of the Wild Goose. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) “The wild goose,” said Thoreau, “breakfasts in Canada, takes luncheon in the Ohio. and plumes himself for the night in a Southern bayou.” This however, is not his daily practice, for he does this particular thing only in the late fall. At present the wild goose is in the Far attending strictly to his domestic duties, r. family of goslings. He will teach his c fly, and in some strange way will tell th presently must follow him on the long journey which Thoreau so dramatically describes. In October we may see the wild geese flying far overhead, or may sometimes hear their hoarse honking. But we see in the skies what Thoreau could magine. We see men fying. They, too, can t in Canada, stop in Cincinnati for luncheon o on to find a lodging for the night in New When Thoreau,wrote, he had in mind the The wild goose could do what North not brea. and Orleans limitations of man man could not do The settlers of Cincinnati, who took two months neying to reach here from the East, never dreamed that some day we could cover by railroad that same ground in seventeen hours, and now that we have the airplane we do it in three or four hours Nature remains unchanged.
