Considering the little experience this
summer has had in producing real hot

10S and making this the fourth day in
rank according to heat of the season.
1t is but four dagrees below the sea-

on an upward trend it may go still
higher. Meanwhile we are having de-

Witness replied Il met him there

Ford asked: did you on the fol
lowing day request Harrington to re-
frain from testifying before the grand
jury.?"
Darrow stated Harrington asked
him whether he would be compelled
to testify and that he replied to refuse
and see if they would force his testi-
mony.
Ford then wanted to know if he
met Harrington at his room February
16, Harrington saving. "Oh. Darrow,

Flushing scarlet, Darrow turned
fiercely on Ford to reply 81 don't
know or don't care whether the con-

Juror Williams asked the defendant
if he believed then that Harrington
had anything to do with the bribery.
He replied: Il didn't know what to be-
lieve. The question was running in
my head, however.
Ford asked: when you were talk
ing with Harrington then did you be-
lieve he would be a witness against

Darrow defiantly replied: He told

and that he had nothing to testify to.

approached Boston, the curiosity con-
corning him, expressed not always in
too delicate way; the tobacco chew
ing, even the hearty good fellowship
all these may have grated. On the
other hand, his turn toward eXagGera
ton and caricature showed these
faults at their worst. Yet it was not
through lack Of love that he chastised
us. He had written even worse of the
English. Emphasizing faults and hold
ing them up to ridicule was his method
of reforming them.
Whatever our political attitude to
ward England may be, we have never
got over the habit of regarding her lit
erature as a part Of our heritage.
Shakespeare belongs as much to Us as
he does to the beefeaters and "h' man
gers who live on his island. Milton
and Byron, Shelley and Wordsworth,
Browning and Tennyson, are ours as
much as theirs. That man possesses
most of an author who gets most out
of him. Literary kinship is Il matter
of appreciation rather than of geog
raphy. The only boundaries of the re-
public of letters are those of language.
Therefore the Dickens centenary will

Dickens. know some Of the highbrow
critics now say that he is too wordy,
that his pathetic passages are over
done, that he did not use good gram
mar, that he was Snug and that he
had major and minor faults.
Practically all the defects pointed
out in Dickens are likewise found in
Shakespeare. Byron was not always
grammatical. Shelley sometimes used
false rimes and had too many syl-
tables in his feet. though always mu-

sublime commonplace, along with his
Incompatible poems, than any laure-

He Was Easily the Greatest
Novelist In the English
Speaking World.
BY JAMES A. EDCERTON.

1HARLES DICKENS ranks easily
as the greatest novelist of the
~ English speaking world. Some
Of his admirers regard him as
the foremost Of any time or cline
This is undue praise, and he does not
need it. The masters are secure in the
worlds regard without our superla
tives and puny attempts to bolster up
their fame. Dickens is in the same
class with Cervantes, Hugo and Bal
FAC, Tolstoy and Turgenev. Zone star
differeth from another in glory" 1t is
enough that they are stars and that
being stars, they shine and are eternal.
Eulogy is no more needed by Dick
ems than by mountain peak or a
great river. He has become perma
nent part of our language and civilian
ton. His characters are as indeibe
us old Charlemagne and Cromwell The
way to Judge mans Importance is by
the impress he leaves on his own and
later times. SO judged, Dickens ap-
pears a truly prodigious figure, for his
expressions have become common
places, he reformed many abuses in
the England of his day. he practically
