CHARLES DICKENS PRESENT.

Charles Dickens was always very fond of children. One day he was walk ing in the neighborhood of Gad's hill. not long after he had acquird his prop erty there when he suddenly ran into a little girl wheeling a dolls p=rambu- lator. In an instant the tiny vehicle upset, the dolls being thrown out.
 It was a bad accident as far as they were concerned, for wax heads and limbs are not calculated to stand much hard usage. The little maid burst into tears. and. much to the novelist's sor- row, refused to be comforted.
 Then come home with me" Dickens whispered, soothingly, and we'll see if We can't find some grand waxen lady in silks and satins for you.'
 So back to the big house the two went, and, sure enough, up In his chil- dren's nursery he managed to discover a few prettily dressed dolls. With these safely tucked in her perambulator the little girl trotted off.
 But it is in the sequel that the best part of the story lies. The childs heart was set on making some return for this kindness, so her parents, who had not the faintest suspicion of her friend g personality. took her to town to choose something. Her choice fell eventually upon a gorgeously bound book.
 When Dickens the next day und.d the parcel his small visitor brought him he was surprised and delighted to see a copy of David Copperfield."
 Not until many years later. wher they met again in society, did the little girl learn who the kind gentleman WaS-Spare Moments.

SAME OLD STORY.

A little old man sat opposite the couple, and looked at them so often that final iy the young husband explained:

 And We can't help it, you know.

THOUGHT HER A LINGUIST.

A young woman at watering place this summer made a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd man. ner. She called one day at a Chinese laundry, where she had left shirt waist, but it could not be found, as there was no entry in the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hours search the Chinaman found the entry. mis, ake had been made, the entry crossed out and a new set of hieroglyphics in tiny characters placed below. She was told that the waist would be laundered inn mediately and she could get it the next day. The next day the young woman called for it, accompanied by three other young women. At the seashOre the excitement of a visit to the Chinese laundry is not to be despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink slip was presented was not the laundryman of the day before and he experienced the same difficulty in finding the identify
 ing characters, finally saying: Not in book" The girl answered calmly: T can find it, and the Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves until she came to one that had an entry crossed out with another in tiny characters under it, she handed it to the Chinaman. There it is,' she said, and, to his great surprise, he found it. You only lady I know spik Chinese" he said. And the other girls looked upon her with awe and admira- tion.-Kansas City World.

TRUE TO DEMOCRACY.

There Is good reason for the be-
lief COW steadily gaining ground
that the National Democratic or
ganization will enter the campaign
of 1900 with much greater strength
than the party possessed in 1896
and with the brightest promise of
success in the presidential elec-
tions.
1t is becoming apparent that the
new American doctrine of imperial
ism is not favored by the masses of
the American people, despite the
loud claims advanced by admins
tratiOn organs to the contrary.
The imperialiSt party so far is not
a popular party. 1t is composed
principally of the syndicates, of "a
national administration subject TO
syndicates, of office holders under
that administration who fear to
lose their jobs if they oppose the
administration policy, and of car
pet baggers who yearn for office in
the colonial dependencies estab-
lished by imperialism.
Against this party of office seek
ers is arrayed the great body OF
American people, determined still
upon maintaining steadfast
faithfulness to the Democratic
principles upon which this govern
ment was founded. The time is
past for the imperiaiists to foo
this element by a degraded waving
of the American flag and Il Syndl

lean spirit of justice and liberty
Is dSStIlIHS ICSelA against llllo az
