The plea of a child for more an imal stories Has induced Rudyard Kipling to add to his series of fun ny “Just So” tales which have appeared in The Ladies’ Home Journal. After the famous au thor had published the last of that series . there was a' flood of letters came to the Journal asking for more. One among these was addressed to Mr. Kipling person ally, and was forwarded toliim in England. It proved to be a letter from a child who pleaded with the author to “give us some more sto ries about animals; we enjoyed your others very much. There is not much written that we little folks can enjoy, so please, dear Mr.. Kipling, write something about my pussy.” The earnest ness and sincerity of .the child ap pealed very strongly to Mr. Kip ling, who is exceedingly fond of little folks, and he writes to the Journal saying that he is going to grant that child’s request even if he has to disappoint all his other friends. Mention this paper. Spread Like Wildfire. When things are “the best” they become “the best selling.” Abraham Hare, a leading druggist, of Belleville, 0., writes: “ Elec tric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have handled in 20 years.

New Tort World. An American citizen cannot do better than to pause for a moment at the new-made grave in Edgehill Cemetery, Charlestown, W. Va., and ask himself: Why am I proud that I am an American? Because America means so many million square miles of territory? Because it means forty-five States and a multitude of cities, towns, villages and dwelling-places? Be cause it means 75,000,000 human beings? Because it exports and imports are so many billions? Be cause of any other statistical fact of greatness? No. But because America means the production of such no ble members of the human race as this soldier, statesman, thinker, educator, model of citizenship whom we have just lost in the death of William L. Wilson.
