PHILO JACOBY'S MEDALS.

Christmas Surprise.
Philo Jacoby. the wel-krown sharp
shooter and proprietor of The Hebrew, is
the possessor of several score medals Of
more or less Intrinsic value, won by him
over rifle ranges here and in Europe.
Collectively these tributes to his unerring
ann are probably worth 5000. but that figure
Is entirely too modest as compared to the es-
timatIon placed Oh them by their owner.
Jacoby keeps himself we'll posted on all
local matters, and when, week ago. he

decided that his jewels were too tempting a
balt, and he would remove them frum his
lodgings to the strong box of the Sale De-
post, away from the festive burglar.
lie rolled them UP carefully into a snug
bundle, lodged them temporarily in the out
side pocket Of his TOD jacket and sailed
forth.
His daily business routine demanded that
lie drop In here and there to visit adyer-
tlSeTs, and he entirely forgot about the
precious gems in his pocket until late in the
evening, when he discovered that they were
gone.
The last place he could remember seeing
them was in the lavatory Of friends busi-
ness place, which he promptly had searched
Dy an expert plumber, but without sucC ess.
subsequent researches were also fruit
less, and Jaeoby had given up his medals
as lost forever.
Yesterday, however, the genial Philo re-
ceiyed something in the nature of pleasant
christmas surprise from some unknown
friend, whose identity he is anxious to
know.
The stranger left package addressed to
Jacoby at a Bush-street resort freQuen ted
by Germans, and in it Philo found his
loDg-lost medals.
He IS still in ignorance as to where and
when he lost them.

inspired Scriptures certain so-called apoc-
ryphal books.
This whole discussion between Catholic
and Protestant theological partisans seems
utterly barren of any good, for it leads
back to the fatal fact that councils CON-
posed of failible men compiled the Profess
tant and the Catholic Bibles and described
them as the infalIible and of God. But
when men claim infallibility for the Bible
and nevertheless do not agree as to what
the Bible is. how can the world be expected
to treat as infaliible that upon which the
councils of rival churches have not agreed,
are not today agreed and are never likely
to be agreed?
1t looks very much as if the world would
finally conclude that the less said about
the infallibility Of book compiled by
fallible men who could not agree about
what was inspired the better.

DICKENS AND THACKERAY.

Dickens may be said to have made
Christmas popular in New England. At
least We believe the genial, gladstone
celebration of Christmas was not generally
observed in New England until about fifty
years ago when Dickens, in "Pickwick
Papers," introduced US to the rollicking
English Christmas, and knowledge Of the
more spiritual German Christmas, with
its Santa Claus, became generally diff
fused. The best of Dickens work. where
the pure poetic side of his humane genius
cleaned brightest, Is included in his
Christmas stories. Thackeray, too, loved
Christmas, for two of his best poems are
devote to the Christmastide.
1t is noteworthy fact that while Dick
ems barely keeps his former wonderful
hold on the reading public. the number of
Thackeray's readers is steadily increasing
Both belong to the first rank of fiction,
but head different schools. A young man
loves Dickens for his broad humor and elo-
quent melodramatic sentiment, because he
is the genius of entertainment, and the old
man when he is tired loves Dickens for the
man drives away dull care and makes the
old man laugh himself back to sunshine
and that mental and moral cheerfuIness
that is necessary to daily working mental
power.
But the same man who read Dickens
with delight and discarded Thackeray in
his youth will in the leisure of his mature
manhood be charmed with Thackeray
when he wants something more than
amusement, wants instruction and
stern moral rebuke, which resides in
Thackeray's half-sarcastic. half-pathetic
speech, that is instinct with truth and at
once informs. reforms and inspires the
reader. The choice between Dickens and
Thackeray is governed by the taste and
temperament, by the mood Of the reader
that is often affected by time and place.
These great novelists were surrounded
by very different circumstances when
young. Dickens was the son of poor re-
porter; was himself poor reporter in his
youth, and his genius was generally re-
portorial in its felicitous description of
ertcrnais, whether of persons or things.
In one of his ablest works, Hard Times"
he shows as profound capacityfor sketching
'mental interiors" as Thackeray or George
Eliot, but that was not his usual quality.
Dickens had been ten years famous man
before Thackeray published Vanity
Fair" and won his first fame. Thack-
cray was born in 1911, and was SO when he
rose to fame. while "Pickwick Papers"
made Dickens permanently famous when
he was but %. Thackeray was of aristo-
cratic lineage and habits, was sent to
Cambridge, and at II inherited 500. 600,
and it was not until he lost his money that
he went seriously to work at literature 20
earn his bread.
