THIs great novelist, whose sudden
death 10 announced herewith, was born It
Portsmouth, England, February Z, 1912,
making him fifty eight years old at the
time Of his death. He was the SON Of
John Dickens, . retired naval psymaster
and Journalist. Charles was put TO study
for an attorney, but at about twenty .one
years old he tired of the drudgery of hls
calling and took to journalism, being a.
tached at different times to the True Sun
and the Aorning CtrOnich. II was the
latter journal In which appeared those
sketches Of low life in London which
made the nom do plums of their author
" Boz $50 popular. His 6rst published
book was 4 collection of these "Boz
sketches, IN 1885 This WAS followed BY
the other famous works Of Mr.. Dickens,
in the following order: The Pickwick
Papers, 1897; Oliver Twist, 1888; Nicho-
las Nickleby, 1889; Memoirs of Joseph
Grimaldi, 1910; Old Curiosity Shop, and
Barnaby Ridge. l64l; American Notes,

CroQaet-A New Game, and How to
Play It. ~

know that, besides the most familiar
way Of arranging the bridges In croquet,
there are several others, but ! have not
seen In any Of the books that which am
now about TO describe, and which my
friends agree with me In pronouncing the
best arrangement Tor thoroughly socia-
BILE and enjoyable game.
For this game few poles are needed and
but eight bridges. Pole No. l, or the
home pole, placed in the centre Of the
lawn. Equidistant from this centre, say
twenty or thirty feet, or further If you
have space, place poles, north, south, east
and west, and between each of these and
your centre pole place two bridges equi-
distant from each other and from the pole
nearest Your arrangement Of poles and
bridges win now resemble . cross, the
arms and stand are Of equal length, ~ per
diagram:
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1870-06-30
so--I-|- o-I--I-os
g.

It win be well now to number each
bridge, beginning with that going north
from the centre, 1, 2. Centre to south
pole, 8, 4. Centre to east pole, 8, 6. Gen.
ire to west pole, 4, 8. A ready way of
doing this is to take piece of tin ian old
fruit can will do), and, with strong pair
of scissors, cut out the figures from one to
eight, leaving little tag to the upper por-
ton Of each, so as TO hook 1t on to the
arch of the bridge. This done, confusion
as to place is impossible, except to the
most stupid sort Of people, or to young
folks very much in love. And now we
shall go over the course, placing our ball
three feet from the centre pole, and play
at bridge No. 1, going north through
bridge No. 2, then to the pole, which we
turn, not strike; and, having done this,
return as we went out, until we strike the
centre pole; thence from where we lie
after striking the centre, we start for the
east pole in like fashion, passing through
bridges and A, and SO on, until returning
through each bridge twice, going and
coming; having turned the north, east,
south and west poles, and having struck
the centre pole three times, we strike 1t
now, for the fourth and last time, for
game.
Croquet players will readily see the ad-
vantages Of this arrangement, the most
important perhaps being the frequency OF
collision between opponents and the
chances which an unfortunate player has
of recovering himself by lucky meet in
the centre. This is no runaway game,
but most enjoyable tussle from the start.
Furthermore, by having the bridges num-
bered-and the thing can be done in ten
minutes-a record can be kept If 1t be de-
sired to play q rubber. A game consists
of twenty-four bridges The number Of
the bridge last taken by the loser, doubled,
will show the number he has passed. This
placed to his credit against the twenty
four of his adversary shows the relative
merit of the players which may change
character when the average 10 taken OF .
rubber of five games.
The game just described will be found
the game for too players, and such game
was wanted-Nsw York Eosnsng Mail.
