HELPED OUT GREAT NOVELIST
Schoolgirl Friend Of His Daughter Sup
piled Names for Thackeray's
Great Story.

A delightful Thackeray anecdote
(Which, SO far as one remembers, is
aew) has turned up at the dinner OF
the Colquhoun club. The guests In
cluded Philip Newman, who recount
ed that his wife when girl happened
to go to the same school as the nov
elist's daughters and afterwards kept
up an intimacy with the family.
One day, when she was out for
walk with Miss Thackeray, the latter
mentioned that her father had started
a new story but was at loss to de-
eide upon the hero's name. The fu-
ture Mrs. Newman, with her fiance
in her thoughts. suggested that his
name, Philip" might serve the pur-
pose.
At that moment who should come
up unobserved behind the two girls
but Thackeray himself. Making his
presence known by laying a hand on
a shoulder of each OF the young peo-
pie, he asked why they were so deep
In conversation. Thereupon Miss
Thackeray, turning around. revealed
the subject under discussion and told
him her friends suggestion as to the
hero's name.
Admirable" was Thackeray's yer
dict And now, my dear" he wen
on, what is your own name?" Char
lotte" well, that's a very nice nam'
too" was the response, and Thack
cray wore look of satisfaction.

principal woman character figures a

Advertisement of john Ware Gave
Valuable Idea to the Travelling
Salesman.

while working through Pennsyl-
vania recently saw an advertisement
that ought TO brlng relief TO a few dis
Iressed souls" said the travelling
salesman. 1T headed the personal col
umn and said:
"'Be it hereby known to all my cor
respondents that l have this day de-
stroyed all letters they would wish to
be destroyed. JOHN WARE
That notice was so extraordinary
that / stopped over for late train and
called on John Ware. He WAS a genial
old man and willing to talk. he said
he was a person to whom people vol
UNFAIRLY confded secrets; that many
persons in bursts Of confidence had
written letters to him which they no
doubt afterward regretted having
written.
Sometimes they said. Destroy
this;' sometimes they didn't. Anyhow
John Ware had kept most OF those in
eliminating letters. But now that he
was getting old he had seen wha'
harm might result from those letter:

BREED CHICKENS FOR PROFIT
In Making Selection One Must Be
Governed to Great Extent by Mar
ket-Cockerel Is Important.

In making the selection OF breed,
one must be governed somewhat ~
the market. Birds that sell best on
the block should be medium in size,
plump condition, with yellow skin and
legs. Most all our American breeds
have these requirements. and by care
full selection at breeding time one
can build up profitable laying strain
from this class of birds. such as the
Plymouth Rocks or Wyandottes.
The common practice OF breeding
from the flock as a whole has done
more harm than anything else in max
ing the flock improbable as egg pro-
ducers. Breeding from birds that
produce but one or two clutches OF
/ eggs during the year will produce
/ birds of like nature, and breeding a
/ sire that has not the laying quality
and characteristics bred in him can
not but help to make the situation
worse.
The success with egg production
must begin with breeding. When you
, have a hen that will lay a large num-
Der of eggs each month during the
winter. breed from her. The trait or
superior egg production is habit
that may be acquired and transmitted.
A hen whose ancestors were poor lay
ers cannot be expected to be good
layers. 10 amount of coaXing or cod
ding with mash or feed will induce
her to produce an unusual number or
eggs. because the trait of superior
egg production was not acquired by
her ancestry and could not therefore
be transmitted to her.
The selection OF the male TO head
the flock should not be neglected He
should have been bred from pro
ductive ancestry. The male is hal

JUDGE TOOMbS IS
WARRIOR BOLD
they SAY
EMINENT STATESMAN FROM UNION PULLS
TRUSTY SIX-SHOOTER ON FELLOW
BARRISTER AND HAS IT TAKEN AWAY
FROM HIM PRDNTO

Clayton, n. NJ, June 1S.-There was
a touch of the old times in Clayton,
yesterday that reminded the old tim
ers Of the wild and woolly, in a sort
OF farcical way as there was a gun
pulled in the playlet.
Judge Toombs, Union member of
the house at the last legislative ses-
sion started in as chief actor, but At
torney Pace quickly took the stage.
Toombs went to the office OF Mr.
Pace with a six shooter in his pocket,
and finding a client in the Office re-
Cuested the said client to fade from
the landscape, which he did. Then
came the funny part. ToOmbs drew
his gun and Pace proceeded to relieve
him of it after a scuffle during which
the judge used his molars with such
effect, that Pace came out of the scrap
with lacerated thumb, while the
Judge was considerably worked over,
as to his head, suffering some contus-
ions thereon.
What excited the judge to the ex.
tent of drawing a pistol has not been
learned, but it is asserted that he
filed the sight of the gun before he
entered the Office, so the thing would
not have been SO dangerous, anyway
1t is declared that it may be neces.
sary to send Mr.. Pace to the PasteuT
Institute, as result of the injury.

August Belmont was a large contribu-
tor, Senator oliver asked if Thomas
n. Ryan also was a contributor in
the same campaign.
The witness responded that he was.
The witness declared the commit
tee made a rule at the beginning of
the campaign not to accept money
from any trust. He believed no such
contributions were made directly or
indirectly.
Mr. Sheehan said the late Daniel S.
Lamont, assisted him in collecting
money Colonel Lamont had been
connected with corporations he said,
but he could not remember what ones.
Asked if he could tell the commit
tee where it could find Charles Hall.
assistant treasurer of the national
committee in 1904 and in charge of
the finance books, Mr.. Sheehan said
he thought Hall might be in Albany.
Other witnesses to be called later
include Representative Lloyd and
Mckinley, chairman respectively of
the Democratic and Republican con-
gressiOnal campaign committees. The
date of further hearings and the ex-
tent to which the inquiry will go have
not been determined

Connors girl, to which the father re-
sponded that there was nothing left
but for the son to commit suicide.
