THACKERAY AS A TALKER.
A Grand 0ratorieai Display That Did
Not Take Place.


Not Take Place.
Thackeray was terribly self con-
scious and usually presented a very
poor appearance when he attempted to
deliver speech. Why can't they get
Dickens to take the chair?" he grum-
bled when he had to preside at the
general theatrical fund. He can make
a speech. and a good one. I'm Of NO
use. They little think how nervous
am. and Dickens doesn't know the
meaning Of the word"
An amusing story Is recorded Of the
occasion when. with Mr.. Fields. the
we'll known American publisher.
Thackeray travelled to Manchester to
make a speech at the founding Of the
Free Library institution in that town
The would be orator declared that. al
and Sir James Stephen were to pre-
cede him. he intended to beat each Of
them on this occasion. He insisted
that Mr.. Fields should be seated di
rectly in front Of him 80 that he should
not miss a single word.
Later. az he rose, be looked at his
friend as much as to say. "l'll show
you what speaking Is." He began du
entity, was excellent for two minute.
and then in the midst of a most ear
nest sentence stopped suddenly. CAV

MY boy" he said when the meeting
was over-"my boy. you have acci

AIDS TAX DODGERS
Law of 1905 Is Thought to
Contain Joker.
(National News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 31,-Judge
Ross, of probate court, has found
what he believes may have been a
joker in the state law OF 1905. relat-
ing TO the fling Of petitions to bar
claims against estates, The point was
discovered when petition was filed
by w. F. Lewis, an attorney OF Sey-
1nour, asking that after one year from
October IS, when the petition was
heard, no claims be filed against the
estate of Sarah Paffenberger. This pc
tition is the first of its kind that has
been fled in Marion county since the
law was passed.
Judge Ross explains that this sec
ton of the statutes may be used tc
advantage by tax dodgers. 1t PROVIDES
that no administration may be had or
an estate unless it is requested within
a year after the petition is filed ant
order made. When there is no ADMIN
istration it is unnecessary to file an In
ventory and appraisement of the per
sonal property OF the estate.
