DICKENS DUMMY BOOKS.

The Most Delicious Satire Was In

leads Hill was merry house,"
writes Stephen Flslxe in fondly recall
ing Incidents of his visits to Charles
Dickens, In an article telling of the
personal side of the novelist In the La
dies Home Journal. Dickens was a
wellspring Of mirth, and his humor in
fccted the whole party. Often, when
came down from London, he would
walk out and lean against the doorpost,
while was at the gate, and we would
shout with laughter over the fun that
we had had and were going to have.
When everything else failed the IL
brary was an unending amusement.
The room was lined with books from
floor to ceiling, even the backs OF the
doors being bookcases; but the books
on the doors and along the floor were
bogus. Dummy backs had been letter
ed with titles and pasted on the glass,
and the titles had been selected b5 such
wits as Dickens, Yates, the Collins
brothers, Albert Smith, and Mark
Lemon, Of Punch. We used to sit on

able, for any ones day, but there are
often scenes Of thrilling interest to be
witnessed. During even a calm sum-
mer there are storms, and any storm
may furnish sensation of mighty pro-
portions. A shipwreck, the launching
of the lifeboat at the station, the boom
ing Of the minute gun, the firing of
rockets, the throwing Of the life line,
the coming ashore of the survivors,
the taking up Of collection in their
behalf, are all thrilling items that, with
more or less exaggeration, furnish the
material for many a story to be told
and retold when the seashore summer
birds have fitted to their city homes.
"A man who has gone through any ex-
perience Of an unusual character will
always have attentive listeners while
he rehearses it. The most thrilling
ocean experience to pass through Is a
shipwreck, but, of course, If man has
never been fortunate enough to be ac-
tually in a wreck, the next best thing
Is to see one, and If his Imagination Is
sufficiently lively, he can polish up the
quite as thrilling as though he himself
had been dashed to the mast and made
the sport of the waves for hours while
the lifeboat vainly endeavored to reach
the disabled ship. Tales of the sea arc
easily manufactured, and even IL no
wrecks occur at or near the summer re-
sort to give an excuse for wreck yarns,
sharks and sea serpents are always
available as material, and even II all
these sources Of sea narrative fall moth
ing is easier than to rig up in new
toggery those that will be spun on the
smallest provocation by the mariners
who give instructions in rowing and
sailing.
The natives along the seashore seem
to understand the secret Of long life.
Every one who has spent a summer at
a seaside resort has noted the remark
able number Of old men and women to
be seen on every hand, and this in spite
contributes to longevity. These things,
however, are merely comparative. HUI
man nature can accommodate itself to
almost any surroundings, and, becom-
ing accustomed to them, regard them,
however exciting they may be to others,
as everyday matters. Thus 1t is that
fishermen and mountainecrs live to old
age, even In the midst of excitements
and alarms, for those who spend their
lives on the ocean have as many dan
gers to confront as those who pass their
days in conflict with the unspeakable
Turk.

almost unexplored.

pioy 1t as steady avocation day after

ter his hands and strain his intercostal
muscles and the right and left hypo-
chondria and his hypogastrium in a
boat Of almost any size and quality,
from paper racing shell to a craft
which, in size, is first cousin to whale
boat, and, in immobility, is brother to
a washtub. If he likes association with
those who go down to the sea in ships,
he can get it, for about such places
there are always tars Of the vintage
of 1S49, who can tell him tales Of ship
wreck and cannibalism, of service
ashore and ahoat, of adventures I'M
dergone in any part Of the world he
is interested in, and with equal readi-
ness and volubility will describe to
him their shipwrecks on the Barbary
coast, and how they were made slaves
and escaped by running away with
the Sultan's favorite wife, or how
they fought pirates of the coast of
Tonquin, and had to blow up the ship
and get away on a. plank. He can
visit the forecastles Of ships, the old
fashioned sailing variety, and hear
nautical wonders until his hair will
stand on end like quilts Of the fretful
porcupine, and his eyes stand out like
those Of a crawfish, as sailors. for ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain,
are as peculiar as All Sin himself.

1.-THE Western Idea"

1t seems just bit strange and awk-
ward that as we grow older as people
we cannot get away from this WEST
ern idea," this stigmatizing portion
Of our country because 1t Is accom-
plishing with certain enterprising meth
DDS what could not possibly be accom-
plished by any other. 1t cannot be that
we are jealous in the East, because we
attach so much importance to the
West. It cannot be that we are ashamed
of the West, because we like to speak
with pride of 1t. Its people cannot
differ SO very much from us since half
of the American West is really made up
of Eastern folks. But yet we go on and
on, and everything In the West that is
not to our taste Is 'the Western idea Of
things" Surfeited with section
alism, we are full of the notion that
one part Of our country Is superior to
bibe the idea that America is America,
whether 1t be New York, Boston, Chi
cago, Denver or San Francisco.
We have to learn In this country to ac-
cept a man as an American whether he
lives in Chicago or in Portland, in New
York or In Tacoma! He lives in Amer
lea, and that makes him not an Eastern
man, nor a Western man, nor a South
ern man, but an American, living not
after an Eastern idea, Western FASH
Ion, nor a Southern fancy, but under
one central American idea: equality

thenceforward known as Estelle Dor
hey. In 1895 she fell in love with
carpenter named George A. Stappers,
and they stole away and were married.
Estelle went home again and kept her
secret for two weeks. Then young
Stappers made it known. Mr.. Stappers
furnished a fiat for his son. who took
his bride to live in 1t. Her stepfathers
wrath grew continually, until one day
she went to dine with him. She never
went back to her husband, who was not
allowed to see her. BY this time Mrs.
Dorney had died. Estelle made an
affldavit that she had left her husband
willingly, but she afterward denied 1t.
She grew i'll, and her mind began to
fail. Then she was removed to st.

A WHITE MAN AUCTIONED.

A Kentucky Vagrant Sold to the
Highest Bidder Under State Laws.
Human slavery is not wholly abol.
ished in the United States. Under the
laws Of Kentucky n man who does not
support himself-that is, a vagrant--
can be sold at auction to the highest
bidder, whereby he becomes a mere
chattel. For n certain time, dependent
on the length of the sentence imposed
by the court, his time and labor belong
to the man who buys him, and he is n
slave, virtually and in fact.
Recently a white man, Lawrence
Peak, was so disposed Of at Elizabeth
town. Peak was duly convicted of va
grancy and found guilty, and the court
ordered him to be sold at auction for n
period Of three months. On the day Of
the sale a crowd gathered at the court
house and the district attorney acted
as auctioneer. He detailed the age and
qualities Of the man and stated the Pc
Rod during which he would be the
slave of the highest bidder. One dol
