He wrote tales and poems of British soldiers in India and stories for children. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling's works of fiction include 'The Jungle Book' (1894), 'Kim' (1901), and many short stories, including 'The Man Who Would Be King' (1888). His poems include 'Mandalay' (1890), 'Gunga Din' (1890), 'The White Man's Burden' (1899), and 'If' (1910). He is regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature.ALEJANDRO LERROUX GARCIA (1864-1949).Portrait of Josef Anton Bruckner, 1824 - 1896, Austrian composer, digitally editedHugo JunkersPhotograph of (James) Ramsay MacDonald, the Scottish Labour Statesman.

A leader of the Republican Party, he was a leading force of the Progressive Era. He served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under William McKinley, resigning after one year to serve with the First US Voluntary Cavalry Regiment or 'Rough Riders', gaining national fame for courage during the War in Cuba. During World War I, he opposed President Wilson for keeping the US out of the war against Germany, and offered his military services, which were never summoned. Although he planned to run again for president in 1920, his health quickly deteriorated, and he died in early 1919. Roosevelt has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest US Presidents. His face adorns Mount Rushmore alongside Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln.12/31/1939.
