oriain of "olixer Twist"

The true story Of the origin Of GOLF
yer Twist" is not generally known. 1t
is this: After the amazing success Of
the "Pickwick Papers" Dickens was
thinking of following it up by q story
Of London life, with which he was
more familiar than with English coun-
try life. I..st about that time he hap
pened to visit the studio Of George
Cruikshank and was shown some
drawings the latter had made, illus
trating the career of London thief.
There was sketch Of Fagin's den,
with the Artful Dodger and Master
Charley Bates, pictures Of Bill Skies
and his dog and Nancy Skies and, last
ly, Fagin in the condemned cell. Dick.
ems was much struck by the power of
these character sketches, and the re-
suit was that he changed the whole
plot of "Oliver Twist" Instead Of
taking him through spiritless advsn-
lures In the country he introducedthina
into the thieves den in London, show
ed up their life Of sin. but brought his
hero through pure and indebted. Thus
1t will be seen that George Cruikshank.
not Charles Dickens, was the 0rfgina-
tor Of the eading characters that ap-
pear In "Oliver Twist."-London Hat

HOW HE SAVED THE CIRCUS
Wonderful Story Put UP by Owner
Called Forth High Compliment
from Editor.
Willis Cobb the circus man told this

Willis Cobb the circus man told this
story:
Years ago he was travelling through
the south with wagon tent show
and the press agent among other glow
ing accounts of what's coming" an
nounced herd of 20 camels from the
sandy desert Of Arabia"
When the show reached town, in.
stead of 20, there was but one sickly
PANEL. Some of the country newspa-
pers paid no attention to this slight
discrepancy. but when Cobb entered
the office of Georgia country editor
he was mad enough to fight.
Il saw your parade, sah,' said he.
"and you lied to our people. I've a
good mind to roast you. Where are
your 20 camels you made my paper
say you've got in your show?"
I'll tell you how it was." explained
Cobb. When we passed the swamp
on the way here it was full Of alliga-
tors, and without the slightest warn
ing they leaped upon the bank and
devoured all but one of the camels.
We put up brave fight, but it was
no use.''
The editor gazed at Willis couple
of minutes and then said: You're
a good one You oughtsto be Geor-
gia editor. Come out to my house to
dinner to-day. I want to introduce
my wife to the biggest liar on earth.
She'll be glad to meet you"

KEEP LANGUAGE AND CUSTOMS
Dutch Impress Clearly Visible Among
Inhabitants Of Old Villages
UP the Hudson,

Dutch language and customs still
prevail to a surprising extent in the
old villages up the Hudson, according
to Peter c. Barker of Buffalo, N. Y.
THE modern housekeeper from the
city," said Mr.. Barker, who takes a
picturesque dwelling, built about 1890,
for summer home, is confronted by
some bewildering conditions. First
among these are words of one pronun-
citation in Dutch and English, but of
totally different meaning. For in
stance, her help obtained from the
village will probably glance about the
kitchen after finishing her morning
work, and chant in sing-song that
might be pointed off thus: I amt
done no work-what meant to do
this mawnin'-yet An'-Pll JUS file
up the kitchen floor. To the mistress
surprise the file proves to be mop,
file being old Dutch for any bit OF
cloth used for cleaning, from a wash
cloth to floor CLOTH
Another evidence OF descent is the
use made Of water. The old houses
we're invariably located where advan.
tage might be taken of a running
stream, no matter how small. At a
point near the kitchen door this was
damned. water wheel inserted. and
power obtained for the churn or turn
spit. To-day this power equals a mo.
tor for running an ice-cream freezer,
sewing machine an egg heater or a
coffee mill"

A LOT OF FUSS ABOUT 81
LThompson Courier. ]


Is there any real reason why a. man
should be required to have a license De-
fore he is allowed to shoot game? 1t
has the effect Of limiting the hunting to
those who care most for it--those who
look upon it as their favorite recrea-
ton For them it only amounts to a
dollar graft which they put up without
a kick. There are 200 of these men in
Winnebago county.
The other 1900 people of this
county do not do much hunting and
thought it was not worth while to
take out a license. Heretofore
most of them have gone out hunt
ing maybe once or twice a year,
brought home maybe one forlorn
looking duck or couple of snipe
and had a. bully good holiday.
They went because some real
hunter drove up TO their door and
said come on, old man, let's go out
into the country and shoot something"
Then there was hustling for some old
clothes rhe cleaning up of a gun that
had laid undisturbed for months-and
you know the rest. Now our crimp-
headed legislature has passed a law
so that this man who needs this
day of recreation and needs it badly
can not go. He don't care for the dol
lar, but unless he lives in the county
seat, he can not get a license on short
notice. The same legislature fixed that
too. 1t would have been just as well to
have fixed it so a man could go to
any notary public or any bank and de-
post his dollar-bl1t there would have
| been some sense to that.

THE PASTOR.
[Traer Star-Clipper.

IIaer Star-G'llpper.j
All thru the west great changes
are made in the personnel of the pas
torates in the early autumn by sever
al of the leading denomina tions. In
other churches the changes occur con-
tinuously, transpiring whenever eth
er church or pastor deem it desirable.
These changes are matters of univer-
sal interest. The real interest of the
community at large in this matter is
even greater than that of the church
concerned. tho this fact is not al
ways realized. The church is, if. it
does its legitimate work the power
that works for righteousness in the
community The pastor stands as It's
leader in activities The people ac-
cept him on his coming. in this ca
pacity. The question first asked by
the public is What kind of a man is
he?' The demand is first of all for q
manly man in the pulpit No culture
or brilliancy can avail in getting the
lasting confidence, sympathy and CO.
operation of the public unless there is
genuine manliness behind it all. The
days in which one could demand con-
sideration because he was a clergy
man have passed. Now the pastor
must make his place and hold it by
proving his right to it thru indus
try in his work. manly force. broad
sympathies. liberality as TO opinions
and genuine active interest in all
things pertaining to public welfare,
as we'll as taking deep interest in the
welfare of all who may be in the cir
Gle of his acquaintance. Comparative
lN few have any adequate conceptiOn
of the demand on one who even in a
small comm unity undertakes to fully
do the legitimate work of the pastor
ate. Business men have much to say
about their perplexities. but the aver
age pastor could match lists with the
best of them. The man who puts
himself zealously into his work is
worth While. All lovers of social or
der should rally about him. His work
is of prime Importance to society. Es-
tablishing and helping TO maintain a
high moral standard, arousing and n
tensifying resolutions and noble am
billions do not take second place to
any other interest, public or private.
Every social and temporal obligation
10 such men should be promptly and
fully met. They should be made 10
feel that their efforts are fully appra-
ciated and that substantial recogni-
ton will not be lacking.

BY A SIMPLE TWIST.

OF all the odd twists given to the
discussion of the probable fate of the
Roosevelt policies in President Taft's
hands, by far the oldest is found in
the Des Moines Capital, that journal
of civilization, over which Late Young
presides.
To the Capitals way of thinking the
explanation of the near approach to
distrust of Taft SIS found in the active
brains of millions of men who do not
desire to have Taft accomplish these
things. They We're afraid of Roosevelt
and could not do to him the things
which they are now attempting to do
to Taft. They We're afraid of the big
stick and membership in the Ananias
club. The elements of evil are mas
querading pretendedly in the cause of
good, but really to prevent action dur
ing the ensuing four years. There are
those who believe that democratic
house can be chosen which would be
a guarantee that nothing would hap
pen in the line of President Taft
recomm endations."
Indeed, that is good. Only the fer
tile brain and still more fertile ex-
perience of Colonel Young could have
evolved so clever an idea. The pro-
gressives are afraid TO give Taft their
aid for fear of making it possible for
him TO carry out the Roosevelt poll
cies, and, conversely. the standpatters.
the Cannons, the Aldriches, etc, are
standing by the president. they are
tickled to death with him. not because
he says the Payne tariff bill is the
best ever, and repeats it, but because
they know he is going to carry out
the Roosevelt policies of hostility to
the special interests and they want to
do everything they can to help him
along that line.
We think that with that perform
ance the colonel may challenge any
and all logicians Of the time without
endangering his title 20 the palm.

Topics of the Times

The debate among the Eighth district
republicans as to who they shall nom
mate for congress has no other effect
in Congressman Janieson's office at
Shenandoah than to make the battery
of typewriters work a little more
smoothly, if that be possible.
There are corporations whose Off
GERS will smile at the thought of The
corporation tax. Doesn't the law pro-
vide that if the net earnings of the
concern are less than $1,000 a year, the
tax doesn't apply?.
Hazing has at last been defined in
polite language. The president OF
Bryn Mawr calls it 'the silly and I'M
