The true story Of the origin OF "Oli-
yer Twist" IL not generally known. It
IL this: After the amazing success OF
the "Pickwick Papers" Dickens was
thinking Of following II up by a story
OF London life, with which he was
more familiar than with English coun-
try life
Just about that time he happened to
visit the studio of George Crulkshnnk
and was shown some drawings the lat
ter had made illustrating the career Of
a London thief.
There was n sketch Of Faglns den,
with the Artful Dodger and Master
Charley Bates, pictures of Blll Skies
and his dog and Nancy Skies and last.
ly Fagin In the condemned cell. Dick
ems was much struck by the power Of
these character sketches, and the re-
suit was that he changed the whole
plot Of "Oliver Twist" Instead Of
taking him through splrltless adven-
lures in the country he introduced him
into the thieves den In London showed
up their life OF sin, but brought his
hero through pure and indebted
Thus It will be seen that George
Cruikshank. not Charles Dickens. was
the originator Of the leading characters
that appear In "OliVer Twist"

THE CEMETERY MATTER.

4 PPARENTLY THE PUBLIC has
i only been given a look at the out
side edge Of the city cemetery trouble
The report of the council committee
that investigated the affair is far from
satisfactory. 1t is made to appear that
jealousies existed between the men en-
ployed in the cemetery: that one of
them has been using his position to the
disadvantage Of the others and that
the friction for some time has been
marked.
AS to the propriety of allowing the
men. even though ir has been the GUS
tom for many years. 10 take care of
burial plots for stated sums paid di-
rectly to them by the owners, there
can hardly be a difference Of opinion.
The practice is wrong It should be
done away with Immediately for it
seems to- nave caused the greater part
OF the friction that is making the Gene
terry department inefficient.
True the work has not been done by
the men during the hours for which-the
city pays them, but it is entirely prob
able that city work has been sighted
for private work. City employees cannoe
serve two or more masters. They
should be required 90 work exclusively
for Che city, as long as they are on
ground controlled by the city. 1t may
Doc said that the city does not pay
enough money to justify single-hearted
devotion. That may be true, but if the
pay is small The hours are not long
ana the men might be able to supple
mcnt their earnings by working s6me-
where away from the cemetery.
Another point is that the city sex
ton should be allowed to hire such men
as me needs and discharge others with
a free hand. The sexton is responsible
e. the council and through the council
To the people for the administration of
the cemetery department. Authority
should always accompany responsible
ity. If the council cannot trust the
sexton Co hire and discharge men ia
should bring about his removal; it is
not fair TO ask him 90 be accountable
for the work unless the privilege of alb
solute control is given him.
The controversy over the matter has
brought out az least one point clearly;
that is, subordinate places in the GENE
tory department have been used by
councilmen for the purpose Of reward
ing their political friends. II is petty.
picayunish. peanut politics TO force men
upon the head OF a department because
they have been good political work
