Where the Fault Was.

When Mayor Low was at Great Barrington last autumn, resting from the fatigue of a strenuous political life, he enjoyed several drives about the Berkshire country, says the New York Times. On one of these he observed a milestone indicating the distance to Stockbridge as four miles, when he knew they were within a much shorter radius of that town. Said Mr. Low to the driven “What’s the matter with that milestone?” “Oh! ” was the keen response promptly given, “the milestone’s all right, only it’s in the wrong place!” Rudyard Kipling’s story In Everybody’s, “The Comprehension of Private Copper,” expresses the attitude of certain expatriated Britishers settled in the Cape country who became Boer sympathizers because of English neglect of their interest. The episode is highly dramatic, and told in Kipling's best vein.
