BRASS SHRINE
Weston-super-Mare, July 20. The little brass shrine was bought in Mandalay, the town in Burma which Kipling has written of, by Mr. Charles Phipps, a hair- dresser, of Palmer-street, Weston.
While he had it in his shop his takings went down, but recovered their buoyancy as
as the shrine was removed.
Mr. Phipps gave the shrine to an ex-Servicemen's club, but the mem bership became lower than it had ever been, so the ahrine was again passed on to в леw owner, who the very next day fell off a ladder and nearly broke his neck!

He left a good deal of literature for Mr. Phipps to study,
