Dickens Spoke to hin.

From the Youths Companion
Henry c. Robinson, a witty lawyer, who
used 10 1--we in Hartford, Conn, told the
following anecdote one evening when he
was introducing an English author TO a
Hartford audience:
THE most famous Englishman whom l
ever saw was Charles Dickens, who lee
tured here in Hartford when l was
young boy
Il had read some Of the stories OF this
great writer and | was most anxious 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 | knew he was
TO stay
THE hotel was built close TO the side
walk and the long windows of the parlor
We're so low that the passerby could easily
see into the room
II soon realized that a gentleman was
sitting within reading a paper ! stepped
close up under the window and pressed
my face against the glass eager to get a
good look at the stranger. Yes 1t was
he IT really was, / had seen his picture
often and couldn't be mistaken. l stared
and stared, anxious to impress every fea-
turc upon my memory. After a few mo-
ments he turned and saw me there, the
little eager Yankee boy, gazing up at his
face; and then the famous man, laying
aside mis- paper, actually spoke. so that /
really heard the voice Of the great Charles
Dickens himself and he was really talking
to mel"
Here Mr.. Robinson paused mpressively
and some one on the platform inquired.
What did he say. Mr. Robinson2"
He said replied Mr.. Robinson, in sub
dued tones, Go away little boy; go
away"

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the Jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in TO worry and
weary the fighter, but If scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region OF
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignOramuS. DR.. Pierce is bringing

USE 4 CREAM sFpARAros

Once IN a while we hear of farmer
who has trouble with his separated
cream. The trouble is right here: The
cream ~ not taken care OF right. Where
one has been delivering whole milk to
the creamery every morning he has not
paid any attention to the condition Of
the milk. In fact il was not kept long
enough to cause any trouble But when
the cream is separated soon after the
milking is done and ii is kept from two
10 three days it must be handled right,
The machine will set all the butter fat
out of the milk for you. but ii won't
keep your cream in condition. During
the summer il is best to deliver the
cream daily. II this is not done, Their
1t should be cooled down to about Sc
degrees at once after il is separated,
ana II must be kept that cold at least,
until II is delivered TO the factory. If
one batch OF cream becomes partly
ripeued don't mix II with the fresh
cream Use the separator. but take
care Of the cream.

DANGER IN TELEPHONES.

would only get out and take a walk
early in the morning they would re-
turn to the house with brighter spirits
and more animation for work I'm
doubtedly ii is an inspiration to get
out and see that one is not alone in the
days work. a woman here is clean
ing her windows, another is sweeping
her rooms; a bevy hurry by with
packages under their arms after a visit
to the stores and groceries. TO see
people BUSY ana full of life and ami
nation is an inspiration to any one
and this seems 10 be exactly what the
physician meant by his remark. The
most detected, despondent and head
achy women in the world are those
who live back of locked doors and
keep up the eternal grind Of kitchen
work without a change of labor from
one day To another.
