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

Mr.. Henry c. Robinson, a witty law

Englishman whom l ever saw was

had read some of the stories of this
great writer. and l was most anx-
lous to catch a glimpse Of the man
himself. So on the afternoon when
he was expected to arrive l 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
walk, and the long windows of the
parlor were so low that the passerby
could easily see into the room. soon
realized that a gentleman was sitting
within, reading paper. l stepped
close up under the. window and
pressed my face against the glass,
eager to get good look at the
stranger. Yes, 1t was he! 1t really
was! l had seen his picture often,
and couldn't be mistaken. l stared
and stared anxious to impress every
feature upon my memory. After
few moments he turned and saw me
there, the little, eager Yankee boy,
gazing up at his face; and then the
famous man. laying aside his paper,
actually spoke, so that | really heard
the voice of the great Charles Dick
ems himself, and he was really talking

lmpressively, and some one on the
platform inquired, What did he say.

Hsydn'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 Non omnis mortar" In
1920 Prince Esterhazy had the body
removed to Eisenstadt, where Haydn
had been music director from 1760 to
1880. and there an elaborate monu-
ment with ample inscription was
erected.

LAWYERS THEN AND NOW.
oId-flmers Had Little Difficulty in
Entering Profession.

The young man who wants to be a
lawyer nowadays has much harder
road to travel than he who wished to
adopt the honorable profession in
days gone by. AS a rule, he has to
take several years course in one of
the law schools of the state, then pass
the state bar examination, which ia
not planned to fill the profession with
blockheads. Formerly" said Mr..
John P. Poe, now the Oldest instructor
in point of service-at the Uni
versity of Maryland Law School, and
former attorney general "all young
man had to do was to read law in
some lawyers office. Then he went
before the examining committee.
which asked him few questions,
after he had been vouched for by the
lawyer under whose guidance his
studies had been pursued. These
questions, as a rule. were kept in the
pigeonhole of the judges desk, and II
the aspirant for professional honors
was very ambitious he could go and
see them beforehand and prepare him
self for them. When my father went
up for examination he was asked two
questions, How many volumes Is
Blackstone bound I'M? which he an
swered satisfactorily, and Can you

men who became great lawyers in
those days did so because they were
naturally lawyers, not because of the
