Have you, perhaps, WE'LL
tbumbed copy of an American edi-
ton of David Copperfield"? Or
of "a Tale of Two Cities? Or of
"Pickwick Papers? Or "The Old
Curiosity Shop?" Or BLEAK
House"
Are they worth 2 cents apiece
to YOU? Have you CLEANED 2 cents
worth of joy out of the predica-
ments of Mr.. Pickwick or from the
love affairs of David Copperfield
or from the sweetly sad story of
Little Nell? If Charles Dickens
were alive today and needed the
money, would you be willing that
he should have 2 cents for each
book of his you own?
If so, here's your chance. It's
too late to do anything that will
affect BOX" himself for better or
worse, but you will soon have OBJ
portunity to do something for his
children and grand children, who
by the vicissitudes of fortune have
been reduced almost to penury.
Three of them have been forced
to accept little "civil-list" Eng
lish pensions of 500 a year.
Charles Dickens never received
q cent for the millions of his
books that were sold in this coun-
try. In his day authors didn t
have the protection of an interna-
tional copyright law, as they do
now. Even in England his re-
turns were very meager. He
worked like slave adj his life in
his endeavor to earn a comfortable
competence for his family.
Now it is proposed to give the
Dickens lovers of the world a
chance to accord belated justice to
the Dickens family by contribut-

THREE TRAMPS
HOLD Up BAR

Three men. very much on the
tramp order, held UP and robbed
the Brunswick hotel bar last night
at 8 o'clock, securing about $50
In cash.
The three men stepped into the
room when there was but one
patron present and shouted Put
'em up!"
Two pair of hands went up.
One man covered the bartender,
one covered the patron while the
other searched the room. They
took all the money in the cash
register and then searched the
pockets of the two men.
The search took about two min
utes, after which the men beat a
hasty retreat.
The police arrived soon after
and were given a good description
of teh holdups, but no arrests
have yet been amde.

"The Battle" a new play, was

The play deals with tenement con-

to the son, gives up a life of
wealth accommodating to win thf
respect of his son. The play wip

Dickens lovers throughout the
world are to be urged to buy as
many of these stamps as they own

affix a stamp to each book as a
token that that book at least has

The money accruing from the

that there are in circulation now

Little rlurray Dead.

Sad Indeed is the death Of little
Murray Champagne, the only child
of Mr.. aud Mrs Henry Cham
psgDe, who died in a hospital in

aud 10 months, WAS accidentally
shot by bis little cousin with toy
pistol, while shooting blank car
tidges, the pistol went off when
near the head of Murray, and the
force of the explosion was strong
enough To break the skull and the
paper wad penetrated his brains
Oh the top of his brow. He wac
taken to New Orleans for an oper-
alton, but the wound proved more
serious than was supposed and the
unfortunate boy grew worse until
death came to relieve him Of his
sufferings.
His remains wore brought here

Care of Farm Implements.

One source of loss to the Lou.
isiana farmer arises from the too
general practice Of leaving oil
sorts of implements exposed to the
weather unu ecessarily. Tho life
of the pillow or cultivator that is
loft Oh the turn-row between sea-
sons of use can be doubled by be-
ing stored under shelter whom not
in use. The same, of course, Is
true of the wagon, hay press, rake,
etc.
Another point that needs en-
phasis in this connection is the
care of the wood parts of imple-
ments. A GOAT or two applied to
implements during the idle days
of winter will protect wood and
iron, prolong the life of the imple-
ment, and pay a good dividend on
investment. Broken parts should
be repaired at this time, bolts
frightened. and the implements
stored away from damp places.
Plow shares should be- cleaned BE-
fore being stored, even for only a
few days. The implements of the
average farm represent a consider
able outlay. and if the annual wear
and tear eau be kept down to 10
per cent instead of being allowed
to run up to 20 or 25 per cent, il
means a considerable saving to the
farmer. - Dept. Agricultural Elk.

moro. 10 bsIieve-thst it makes
little difference il Mr.. Mr.. Dupre
forsakss the law at the City Hall
and goes up to the State House to
mako laws for tho State. The pa
tisnt public Of New Orleans has
soon him draw lbe double pay for
two months of the year without
protest, but now that Gov. San
ders has gone wild Oh extra ses-
sions, it becomes a serious ques-
ton whether We can spare ND AS
sistant City Attorney three times
a year, for one regular aud two tx
ira sessions. If he is spared So
easily, what is the sense of the
city paying $500 year to make
laws for the State, when the State
is already paying for this work.
On Nov. 8 his grateful coustitu-
ent sent Mr.. Dupre to Congress,
although some uDkindly persons
say that this was political deal
to get the gub.rnatorlal idea out
of Mr.. Dupre's head BY retiring
him TO Congress, this left the field
to Mr.. Michel for the orgauiza-
tion's support for Governor, side
tracking that gentleman also, and
preventing q clash between him
aud Mr.. Bshrmsn for the mayoral-
ty. However that may be, Mr..
Duprs was elected to Congress on
Nov. 8, to fill a vacancv. aud as
his salary begins running the mo-
mont hs 10 elected, be now has two
good salaries running side by side,
which will yield him more per

on to all three Offices until he
takes bis seat in Congress, when
he will resign the position as As
sistant City Attorney, asst is clear
ly impossible for him to be in
Washington, New Orleans and Ba-

possibly be has been given to un-
derstsnd that this triplicate Office
holding would prejudice him in
Congress, where such things are
not allowed. Hero it is quite diff

A Prohibition Crusader

Mrs. l.. A. Parsells, the wife Of a Meth
odist minister in Philadelphia, preached
a sermon in Emmanuel Church last Sun
day morning in the interest of prohibition
under the auspices of the Penn's Grove
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
Among other things, she said that the
w. G. I. U. is Christianity OF the firing
line OH the temperance question. The
world is better now than ever before.
Salem county has as little lawlessness as
any county she was ever visited. Better
people sit in thel church pews. There
have been advancements in all lines and
such great progress has been made on
temperance Lines that there is some
kind OF prohibitory law in every state,
excepting Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Nevada.
She said, the most important question
is, what are we doing for others? We
need living, loving, fighting grace.
In the afternoon she spoke in Bethel
M. P. Church, to the Sunday School, on
the great need Of not only educating chill
dren OIL the bad effects of i~ntemperance,
but the need of keeping them from the
first taste of alcoholic beverages, so that
they will never cultivate a taste nor appe-
tite for it.
In the evening she spoke in st. Paul's
M. E. Church on the great need of legal
prohibition of the liquor traffic, which
can be brought about only by agitation,
like the abolition of slavery was brought
about. The liquor traffic is established
by law, and all the prayers for a century
will not abolish it. 1t takes votes.
We are spending more money in the
corrections of SIN by supporting prisons,
reformatories and asylums than we are
Oh education to prohibit sin.
All license laws are unconstitutloha
and judges are needed who know this and
who will refuse to grant licences. Forty
one millions i'll this nation are o living
in prohibition territory, and if New Jer-
sey does not get in line she will have to
take prohibition as a gift from the nation
before many years.
She said John Brown had paid the price
for his heroic act in believing slavery was
wrong. Carrie Nation has been paying
by smashing saloon furniture and being
sent to Jail because Of her belief that the
traffic in Intoxicating liquors is wrong.
Iii future years monuments will be erected
to her memory.
The many avs which nov restrict our
actions make the plea for personal liberty
| ridiculous. Some one has said that W.
| C. L. Y. stands for Women Constantly
Tormeliting Us.
Large audiences heard her both morn
ing and evening.
Mrs. Parsells is a wonderful speaker,
with strong voice and a wonderful flow
| of language.

The Automobile Run

from Camden to Wildwood thru Penn's
Grove last Saturday created a lively but

was disappointing because the automo-
biles came so far apart and kept the ex-

dwellings were decorated with flags and
bunting which showed their was appreci-
alton of the event in advertising the
town.
There were 81 machines which par
ticipated in the run and a few mare went
over the route, all loaded with enthusi-
astic automobiles. The large Franklin
car, the Path Finder, driven by James
Sweeten Jr., arrived in Penn's Grove at

| which was thrown out at all turns and
cross roads to guide the cars in the run
ming test.
The weather was fine and the roads
good, except for the dust raised by the
machines. Most all the machines made
| the run from Camden to Penn's Grove in
an hour and a half, and to Wildwood, in
6 hours and S3 minutes, the time allotted
at the rate of 20 miles an hour.
The first car in the run arrived at 11.55
and the last passed through at 8 O'Clock.
About sixty passed through town.
