WHAT CHARLES DICKENS SAID.
Great Writer'S Remark to Small Boy

Mr.. Henry G. Robinson, a witty law

Conn.,. once told the following anec-
dote one evening when he was in

Englishman whom 1 ever saw was

great writer, and was most anx-

himself. So on the afternoon when
he was expected to arrive walked
up and down the street in front OF the
hotel where l knew he was to stay.
The hotel was built close to the side

Shortly after the railway companies
abolished the pass privilege a certain
United States senator who had held
his office many years and had carried
a pass all that time boarded a train
for Washington He had forgotten to
provide himself with the necessary
ticket Presently the conductor came
along. He was one of the oldest men
on the line, and the senator, who had
made many a trip with him before,
cordially extended his hand. How are
you, Gregory" he said. First rate,
senator" answered the conductor.
Glad to see you looking so well"
Thank you, Greg. But why are you

Havdn,s Grave.

The city council of Vienna has
made formal overtures to the authori-
ties of Eisenstadt looking toward the
removal of the bones of Josef Haydn
to Vienna, where" the city fathers
say. "a fitting resting place will be
provided by the city" This will be
near the graves of Beethoven and
Schubert. Haydn was II years old
when he died in Vienna in 1909 He
was buried in a little cemetery near
the Hundsturm line, and at the head
of the grave was placed a small stone,
at the expense of his pupil, Sigmund
Knight of NeukOmm. The stone bore
only the name Haydn" and the in
scription Mon omnis mortar" In
1920 Prince Esterhazy had the body
removed to Eisenstadt, where Haydn
had been music director from 1850 to
1890, and there an elaborate monu-
ment with ample inscription was
erected.

PAPA's IDEA OF ECONOMY.

Not long ago we heard a mans lit
tie daughter say to him: Papa, can't
l have a nickel to buy some gum"
He was a good, kind man, and he
didn't refuse her roughly He patted
her on the head and said ''Daugh-
ter, your old dad can't afford such
things. 1t takes all our money to buy
bread and meat and keep you and
mamma In shoes" She looked disap-
pointed and walked away. Presently
he started home He felt as II a
hot one would help his appetite and
put him in more cheerful frame Of
mind in which to greet his family, so
he walked in and put his right shoe
upon the foot-rail. "What'll you have,
boys?' he asked Some of them took

take a several years course in one OF

questions. as a rule, we're kept In the
pigeonhole OF the judges desk and II

Japanese physicians declare it is
impossible for internal poisoning to oc
cur If powdered charcoal be swallowed
as soon as the gastro-intestinal dis
turbance is felt. French physicians
have tested the power of charcoal, and
proved that 1t is the most active of all
known antidotes. The charcoal must
be taken as soon as the poison taken
begins to show its effect. and the
doses must be large. Charcoal is in
no way injurious, and as much as a

doses mixed In water.
