爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Kipling, just released from his long confinement, like a boy out of school, was the life of the party--and when, one day, he found a woman aboard reading a copy of The Ladies' Home Journal his joy knew no bounds; he turned in the most inimitable "copy" to the Tonic, describing the woman's feelings as she read the different departments in the magazine. Of course, Bok, as editor of the Tonic, promptly pigeon-holed the reporter's "copy"; then relented, and, in a fine spirit of large-mindedness, "printed" Kipling's peans of rapture over Bok's subscriber. The preparation of the paper was a daily joy: it kept the different members busy, and each evening the copy was handed to "the large circle of readers"--the two women of the party--to read aloud. At the end of the sixth day, it was voted to "suspend publication," and the daily of six issues was unanimously bequeathed to the little daughter of Mr. Lockwood de Forest, a close friend of the Kipling family--a choice bit of Kiplingania.

白话
吉卜林刚结束长期 confinement，像出笼的小鸟一样成为聚会焦点。他发现船上一位女士在读《女士家庭杂志》，便兴奋地写稿描述她读各栏目的感受。作为《补药》报编辑，博克起初把稿子搁置，后来大度地刊登了吉卜林的赞美。这份报纸每天由大家分工编写，晚上交给两位女士朗读。六天后大家决定停刊，把六期合订本送给吉卜林好友的小女儿，成为一件吉卜林纪念品。
