Early Home Of Dickens.

Johnston street, Somers Town, where
the London county council have de-
cided to erect a memorial tablet to
Charles Dickens, was associated with
what was practically the first ray OF
sunshine that broke through the cloud
cd sky Of the novelist's childhood. It
was in 1926, when Dickens was thir-
teen, that a sudden improvement in
his fathers finances enabled the fam.
lily to leave the Marshalsea prison and
take house in Johnston street
For Charles, who had boarded out
during his fathers detention in the
debtors prison, this meant the re-
sumption of home life. It meant also
relief from the slavery In the black
ing factory for his father was now
able to send him to a fairly good
school in the nelghborhood of their
new abode. The Dickenses remained
in Johnston street for four years and

The story is told by Nicholas Trist His
chief Senator John Calhoun, offered the
portfolio of secretary of state In Tyler
cabinet, is told by DR.. Ward that his time
is short. Calhoun declares that he is not
ready to die, and II he accepts Tyler's Of
fer ii means that Texas and Oregon must
be added to the Union Ee plans to learn
the intentions of England with regard to
Mexico through Baroness Won Ritz, Sc
cret spy and reputed mistress of the Eng
lish ambassador Pakenham. Nicholas is
sent to bring the baroness to Calhoun's
apartments, and while searching for the
baroness house a carriage dashes up and
Nicholas is invited TO enter. The occu-
pant is the baroness, who says she is be-
ing pursued. The pursuers are shaken
off. Nicholas is invited into the house
and delivers Calhoun's message. He notes
that the baroness has lost a slipper.
Nicholas is given the remaining slipper
as a pledge that she will tell Calhoun
everything He gives her as security an
Indian trinket he intended for his sweet
heart Elizabeth Churchill. Elizabeth's IA
ther consents to Nicholass proposal for
her hand Nicholas is ordered to leave at
once for Montreal on state business, and
decides TO be married that night. Cal
houn becomes secretary of state. Tyler
warns Pakenham that interference by
England in the affairs OF this continent

mands that the Joint occupancy Of Ore

will do her best to prevent his marriage.
She returns the trinket and he promises
to return her slipper. Nicholas enlists
the services Of Congressman cambridge,

PASSING OF THE BIG GAME
The United States Has Been Wsntonly
Extravseant in Its Waste
full Destruction.

The story of the game hog" is too
familiar to dwell upon. We all remem.
ber with disgust photographs publish
ed in sporting journals and newspa-
pers of long rows of deer hung up
after days slaughter. These were
not generally sportsmen, and they
took no steps to interfere with or pre-
vent the wanton destruction until
sportsmen's clubs organized and
forced the issue, but this was very
late in our history-almost too late to
save the animals
Almighty God gave us country
abounding In vast natural resources,
and we have not only given ourselves
over to extravaganza, but wasteful-
ness. We have not confined our ex-
penditures to our income, but have
been lavishly drawing upon the prin-
dpal of our inheritance, never halt
ing in our wild career 10 think that
the end of it must at some time be
reached.
For example, one Of the noblest OF
our big game animals, the wapiti, or
American elk, which formerly ranged
throughout our northern states and
Canada, is now practically extinct east
Of the Mississippi, saving perhaps a
few stragglers which still inhabit
northern Michigan. Our eastern
mountain regions such, for instance,
as the Adirondacks, the Green noun
tains, and the ranges of Pennsylvania,
should form ample cover for them and
would support them today had proper
means been taken in time for their
protection. Some sixty years ago the
last of the wapiti in the east was
killed in Pennsylvania.-Dil Wal

FEED YOU MONEY
Feed Your Brain, and II Will Feed
You Money and Fame.

Ever since boyhood | have been,
especially fond Of meats, and am con-.
vinced | ate too rapidly, and failed to,
mastcate my food properly.
The result was that found myself,
few years ago. afflicted with all
ments of the stomach, and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my
business
AT last took the advice of friends
and began TO eat Grape-Nuts instead,
OF the heavy meats, etc, that had con-
stituted my former diet.
81 found that was at once bene-
fited by the change, that was soon
relieved from the heartburn and indi-.
gestion that used to follow my meals,
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased.
My nerves, which used to be un.
steady, and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from a heavy diet o.,
meats and greasy foods, had, not in q
moment, but gradually, and none the
less surely, been restored to normal
efficiency.
Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are quick
er and more acute than for years past.
After my old style breakfasts used
to suffer during the forenoon from a.
feeling Of weakness which hindered
me seriously in my work, but since |
began to use Grape.Nuts food can
work till dinner time with all ease
and comfort" Name given by Pos

that the Georgia woman had to leave

Before departing she had just time to
explain to nanny the modern con-
yeniences with which her apartment
was furnished. The gas stove was the
contrivance which interested the col

OF the household had lighted the oven,
the broiler and the other burners and
felt certain her old servant understood
its operations the mistress hurried for
her train.
