ORIGIN OF "TWENTY-THREE"
Hero of Dickens Story Who Died on
the Guillotine Was in Line on
That Number.

Dickens lovers have no trouble these
days in proving that all Of our sup
posed up-to-date Americanisms are
merely stolen expressions from their
favcrite author. They have indeed
found that Dickens used many phrases
and expressions tbat have been taken
UP to-day as universal oy-words, and
the latest acquisition of the enthus-
lasts of this sort is told in the state
ment that Dickens originated the ex-
preston ''twenty-three," which in the
yernacular of the present is used to
express "all in" chase yourself"
''skiddoo," ''the end" and many other
things.
Il will be remarked by anybody, says
the Kansas City Star, that in tile
last chapter of THE Tale of Two Cit
les" Dickens describes the procession
of human-leaden tumbrils to the quiz
lotine In one OF them is Sidney Car
ton, the hero. In a garden overlook
ing the hideous machine is a group of
old women knitting. As the heads fell
in the basket one after another the
women knit stealthily and count them
out loud. The paragraph describing
the last moments of Sidney Carton
reads thus
The murmuring of many voices,
the upturning of many faces, the
pressing on of many footsteps In the
outskirts of the crowd, so that it
swells forward in a mass, like one
great heave of water, all flashes away.
Twenty
There you have It. You can take 1t
