1t is narrated that OH one occasion
in his early manhood Washington
came very near the settlement Of q
dispute. so common in those days. by
lighting a duel. But as he was the
one who should have issued the chal-
lenge he had the still greater courage
to apofDgize and admit that he was in
the wrong.
1t was In the town of Alexandria.
where the young Virginia colonel was
quartered with his troops. that an cleo
ton dispute occurred. and in the heat
of the party excitement Washington
told Mr.. Payne that he lied That
gentleman at once replied with a blow
that knocked the young colonel down.
Word having reached the barracks
that their beloved commander had
been killed. his soldiers rushed to the
city to avenge him. He met them.
however. quieted them. and they re-
turned to their quarters.
Mr.. Payne. on receiving note from
Washington the next morning asking
him to call at his lodgings, supposed 1t
was. of course. to give the colonel
opportunity to demand satisfaction"
for the blow lie had received the day
before. Imagine his surprise when.
instead OF finding pistols or swords
ready for a duel. Washington greeted
him with outstretched hand. saying:

Put together. these Japanese dane

times more than two will join in q

Catching the Speakers Eye

The practice of catching the speak
er's eye" dates back to the session OF
164O, when a heated dispute arose be
tween members Of the house. several
Of whom claimed precedence Of speech
1t was then decided that whoever frs,
caught the speakers eye should have
the right to address the house. This
rule worked smoothly until 1866. when
Sir John Trevor was elected to the
chair. The new speaker was afflicted
with an abominable squint: consequent
" two members would often catch his
eye simultaneously and decline to give
way to one another. To obviate this q
further rule was framed to the effect
that the speaker should call by name
upon the member privileged to address
the house. So every holder Of the Of
fee has to possess a good memory fol
names n well n keen eyesight-Lon'

Dickens was born in 1872
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the celebration of his cen
tenary next year. His son, Alfred
Tennyson Dickens, has recently arriv-

tour.
In order that the celebration of this
great novelist's centenary might be fit

was formed, on whose roll are the
names of many celebrities in all class
with the event of next year the
Dickens Centenary Testimonial

of book-plate, although not, strictly to
be classified as such, has been issued.
While. as just stated, It is not a
bock-p,ate, it was the intention of the
committee to have the stamps used in

If the latter had been able to reap
the rewards of his genius, or, in other
words. if there had been a copyright
law protecting a writer's output in
stead of putting it at the mercy of pir-
atical publishers, Dickens family
might have been in affluent circum-
stances.
This is a fragrant example of the in

ticed,--and indeed is still current-in
