“LIFE = {" f aA elT | WW OUTSIDE THE PANTRY. “MARRY, YOU'RE A MEAN Bor! IT's MY SMELL Now. YOU'VE MAD FOUR SMELLS, AN’ I'VE ONLY HAD PREEI" Harry (holding his ground): weit, aot r've GOT 4 COLD. Current Notes. UDGING fromthe volume of matter that is being pub- lished from day to day about Mr. Kipling, the “copy” prepared in apprehension of his withdrawal from mun- dane activi- ties is all finding its way Into print. Itisan extraordinary evidence of Mr. Kipling’s hold upon our interest that all these obituaries should turn out to be what the composing rooms call “live matter” dur- ing his convalescence. Mr, John Sherman's death was prematurely reported the other day, and most of the evening papers had time to get part at least of his distinguished record into print, but when the nows was contradicted the obituaries all stopped short. Not so in Mr. Kipling’s case, We havo read just as much about him as though he had really gone, and the more we read the better pleased we are that wo still have him. . . . ONGRESS appropriated A{ty thousand dollars towards the cost of 4 monument to Lafayette to be erected in Paris, and directed that itehould be coined into silver dollars of a special design and turned over to the Monument Commission in that form. As part of the design for the coin, the Secretary of the Commission, Mr. Thompson, suggested the faces of Washington, Lafayetto, Lincoln, McKinley and Grant. It is reassuring that Mr. McKinley met this suggestion by positive orders that nothing pertaining to him sball appear on the coin, Good for the ANOTHER TRUNK MYSTERY.
