He, the publisher, was of the "unca guid" typo; a teetotaller to the verge of fanaticism, and looking through the stary, he was shocked to come upon a passage where the hero had a glass of sherry. Greatly parturbed, ho wrote to Mr. Kipling, pointing out the meral harm that might result from reading of much a depraved person and notion and requesting Mr. Kipling to substitute some non-intoxicating beverage for the larinful and. unnecessary.akarry, Chwall right," replied Mr. Kipling make it a glans of Blanka Baby Food.
