The pen used by Charles Dickens
Just before his death, which has been
sold at Messrs. Sothebys rooms for
G19 los, must yield the palm of 'ost-
illness to the well worn gold pen used
by Boz" for many years, which
found purchaser some time aso Tor
over Gao. At the same OF the Dal-
housie collection quill pen used by
Wellington when writing to Queen
Victoria in 1914 brought only . 1-2
guineas; while one of Sir Walter
SCOTS pens, selected by Lord Dal-
housie in 1929 from Scott's writing ta-
BILE at Abbotsford, only realized three
guineas more. Among the most valu-
able pens in the world are one owned
by Isaac Reed, of New York, carved
from a portion of George Washing
tons lens box, and used by Lincoln
when President, and the quill of a
golden eagles wing, the property of
the Empress Eugene, with which the
Treaty of Paris was signed in 1856.

The Australian Bush Girl.

Many Australian girls live right up
in the bush, or stations" which are
miles away from any town or village,
and their time is largely occupied with
riding and driving; they are as much
at home on horse as duck is in
the water, and think nothing of riding
twenty miles or so to pay visit, says
a writer in Woman. Household du-
ties claim a share of their time, how
ever, and any day they are liable to
be left without servants and with a
house full of visitors, but are in nc
wise daunted by such an occurrence.
Then the bush girl comes down to the
capital for the season, and, far from
appearing a couLtry pumpkin or a
tomboy after her free and open-ail
life, she is as .auch at home in ball
room as any town-bred girl, as neal
and we'll dressed as if she had never
ridden barebacked over wild tracts
of country, with little thought of ap
pearances.

I press the button and he shuts up.
This is how we trained him he should

When the barking commenced my
brother rang the bell and l went out
and gave the dog a scolding and a
couple OF cuts with the dog-whip,

sc out three times the first evening

the bell has served it's purpose; in
fact, it has practically cured this dog

HEN PREFERS PIGS TO CHICKS.

Orphaned Shouts Answer to 1Iddy's
cluck, cluek and Follow Her.
Spokane, Wash.-If the s. P. c., A.
is mindful Of its duties, it will send
an officer after "Biddy," an ordinary
brown hen owned by Joseph Thorn, a
rancher in Columbia County, Wash,
living ten miles east of Dayton, south
of Spokane, which abandoned her
brood of chicks to care for litter of
Poland China pigs, whose mother died
soon after their birth.
The hen calls the pigs around her
with the same "cluck, cluck" with
which she formerly summoned her
chicks, and they are fed from bottle
by Thorn's daughter. The little ami
mails follow the fowl about the barn
yard in the most contented way imagi-
nable.
While unable to cover them at
night, the hen squats among them and
croons her goodnight lullaby as if the
four-legged creatures were her own.
Thorn believes that "Biddy" will
continue to be a foster mother to the
litter, but just now he is experiencing
some difficulty in finding hen to care
for the chicks cast aside by the hen.

out of the non-producing stage a few
days ago and began her life work The
first egg was a wonder. Not only
was it larger than any Mr.. Sands had
ever seen, but the ems were about
equally rounded. Mr.. Sands decided
the egg was too large to market at the
usual price, and that he would keep it
for table use.
The next morning he had the young
Plymouth Rocks egg for breakfast
Breaking the shell carefully, Mr.
Sands found another perfectly formed
egg. This second egg was broken and
a third egg of the usual size was re
vealed.

Men as Husbands.

To do men justice, they are reader
with their stories of happiness ana
the Incredible accomplishments OF
their wives than with hard-luck tales;
although they do tell them. A man
doesn't complain of his wife unless
forced to 1t. And then he does not
complain, he merely does not tell lies
to shield her. One is not talking now
of the cads OF the brutes or the heroes
Of the divorce courts, but of decent
husbands who welded their wives in
the determination to be true and kind
to them.-Octave Thanet, II Harper's

cussion of the Payne tariff bill for
amendment In the House Of Represent
atives today.
With practically full attendance, the
members were wrought up to a high
tension and were prepared to fight to
the last ditch for those things which
their constituents were demanding.
The entire day practically was con-
surried In the discussion OF lumber and
hide schedules. Led by Mr.. Tawney
(Minn.) the advocates OF free lumber
In the rough went down to defeat by
the narrow margin OF six votes. fol-
lowing the striking out OF the coun-
tervaiiing duty on lumber.
An overwhelming majority was mus
tered against an amendment by Mr..
Scott (Ark.) taking hides from the
free list and fixing duty of 10 per
centunc-ad valorem.
The barley schedule came in for a
lively discussion and when the bill was
laid aside for the day there were pend
ing two amendments. one raising the
rate In the Payne bill from Is to 20
cents a bushel. and the other fixing the
rate at i0per centun ad valorem.
The sum total of the days work
with the exception Of the elimination
of the countervailipg duty on lumber
which was a committee amendment

same condition as the committee re-
ported IL. This grants free raw hides
and duty of 81 per 1000 on sawed
lumber.
