Philosophy from Kansas.

Nobody knows what produces earth
quakes, although it is often claimed
that they do. The earth quakes
somewhere every day. Nobody knows
when the earth came or when it will
go, where it came from, how it came
or how it happened to be here. The
fact is, when you get down to the
truth, nobody knows anything about
anything-past, present or to come
and about the only way to get along
in this know-nothing world is not to
try to know very much.-Eldorado

ORIGIN OF "TWENTY-THREE"
Hero of Dickens Story Who Died on
the Guillotine Wes 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
favCsite author. They have indeed
found that Dickens used many phrases
and expressions that have been taken
up to-day as universal oy-words. and
the latest acquisition of the enthrs-
lasts of this sort is told in the state
Inenl 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 the
last chapter of "The Tale of Two Cit
les" Dickens describes the procession
of human-leaden tumbrils TO the guIl-
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 fall
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:
''rhe murmuring of many voices,
the upturning of many faces, the
pressing on of many footsteps in the
outskirts of the crowd. so that 1t
Rwells forward in mass, like one
great heave of water. all flashes away,
Twenty-three!"
There you have II. You can take 1t
FOR what IL is worth.
