TAVO POETS.
, When Air Rudyard Kipling, poet of - the Empire, met “Skeeter Dili” Robt bins, poet of the cowboys at the Wemh- * ley Stadium, they chummed up im- , mediately. Kipling paraphrased his own lines: "And each in his separate star j Shall paint the thing as he sees it I For the God of things as they are.” He said to Robbins: “You are a real poet, because yon write of things just as you see them.” | They talked about buokjumpers, out- | laws, maveriks 'unbranded cattle, espeeially motherless calves) and events of range and ranch. "Skeeter Rdl” recited his “Ode to Rodeo,” to which he adds an hourly verse. Kipling departed, leaving "Skeeter Rill” flattered hv a request to post Kipling his versos in an envelope which Kipling addressed and handed over to him. •■That man knows cattle and knows horses;” said "Skeeter Bill.” “Most people looking at horses look at tha wrong end first; Kipling looked my horses' in the mouth."’ | i
