It's a fine thing to be a statesman and show
up in the national parade of greatness at the
capital, but there's a good deal more to it
than that. And one of the things that is
hardest to bear is what they say about us.
Why, a lady can't come up here and ask to
see a member that there aren't half a dozen
people to wink and shake the head and a
lot more of the same to make him wish all
the women were in hades. OF course, there

steamer labels and stamps of half the

an ostentatious person, by any means, the

Dickens a. Critic.

Charles Dickens had a great love for
music, and particularly enjoyed songs
and ballads, anything pathetic in the
strains of which quickly moved him.
He had his own ideas of the way in
which songs should be rendered. and
when occasion offered he made them
knowp. One day a member of mis-
household was singing a ballad, when
suddenly the novelist, who had appar-
emily been deep in a book at the farther
end of the rooih, got up, saying; you
don't make enough of that word" He
seated himself at the piano and illus
trated his idea Of the way in which the
word to which he referred should be
emphasized. and did not rise until the
phrase had been sung 10 his satisfac-
ton. After that whenever the song,
which became a favorite with MIN, was
sung, he listened with his head a little
to one side until he had made sure that
his instructions had not been forgotten
that time.-Youth's Companion.
