GREAT WRITER IN JEOPARDY
Charles Dickens Once Threatened
With Arrest for Attempting to
Pass Counterfeit Money.

One night when Dickens had retired
at Gad's Hill he found he could not
sleep. So he got UP, dressed and de-
termined to walk to London about
thirty miles away. He reached the
suburbs early in the morning and APP
piled at an early coffee house for some
refreshments. When he had finished
he gave the proprietor a sovereign, the
smallest coin he had with him.
tits a bad un," said the man, bit
ing at 1t and trying to twist it in all
directions. land l shall give you in
charge"
The coin did have suspicious look.
Dickens had carried some substance in
his pocket which had oxidized 1t. See
ing that matters looked awkward, he
said,
"But / am Charles Dickens!"
"Come. that won't do; any man
could say he was Charles Dickens.
How 60 | know?"
The man had been victimized a
week previous and would take no
more chances. At length Dickens sug-
gested that they go to a chemists
and have the coin tested. A chemist
was finally found when the shops had
opened. The chemist Immediately rec
ognized the novelist, in spite Of his
dusty appearance, and the coffee house
keeper was satisfactorily convinced
that he had not been entertaining q
confidence man.

COLONEL READY WITH BLUFF
Writer of Detective Stories Found
Himself at Home in Somewhat
Trying Situation.

The late Col. II. X. Shakelford, who
was a prolific writer OF detective
stories, had as much presence of mind
on one occasion as was ever shown
by any OF his heroes. He was visiting
In western city, and, having spent
the evening with some friends, did
not start back to his hotel until after
midnight. AS he was passing through
a dark and desolate street, footpad
stepped out from behind tree, level
ed revolver at the colonel, and told
him to hand over his money. But the
authority on detective law was equal
to the demand of the moment. He
said afterward he thought he had stol-
EN- some Of his own stuff in extricating
himself from the trouble.
What are you doing on Elm ave-
nue?" he asked the robber, in a
threatening tone. "Confound you, I
am working this street, and | want
you to understand I'll have no other
crooks butting in!"-The Popular
Magazine.

Hats and the Man.

Why must women bear most Of the
burden for slavery to dress when man
certainly has no more freedom than
she? This could be illustrated in a
number of different ways, including
collars that choke and are too easily
soiled, but what Is really in our mind
is the Observation-Disclosures
stroying derby. 1t makes the head
look like peanut. It is worn in the
spring long after the owner longs for
the straw hat, and in the autumn
when he wishes to continue with the
straw, and in the winter when he de-
sires comfortable, pleasant, soft,
warm covering. Perhaps the cap Is
gaining little In popularity, and also
the soft felt, but the progress is not
enough to be noticeable. For what
progress there is we can probably
thank the automobile We certainly
cannot thank the intelligence Of men.

THAT MOST WONDERFUL BABY
Surely Young Mother Had Good Rea-

1t takes a baby to appreciate baby
or mother. A writer recounts the
conversation between the mother Of
a very new baby and a caller who had
protested a somewhat academic inter-

"You silly man! OF course not; he's

What else can he do?"
Now, you watch him as take him

Language of the Professions.

Scientific terms are ordinarily
crammed without mercy into the medi-
cal certificates that are brought into
courts of justice. These have always
the effect Of thoroughly frightening
the magistrates, who hardly under
stand them more than do the good pub
lie.
At a recent court session M. Masse,
the presiding Judge, interrupted the
reading of q medical certificate:
when will these doctors resolve to
abandon their glbberish and speak
F'rench?"
Monsieur the president, the doctors
remain as they were in the time of
Moliere."
The presiding Judge said with a
sigh: "They are worse than in the time
of Moliere. In that epoch at least the
doctors made use Of a kind of Latin
that one could understand. Today no
one can understand them at all"
Does Monster the President believe
that the gibberish of the lawyers is
any more understandable than that of
the doctors PIE Cri de Paris.

eczema THAT SPREADS
HOW A PoUoHKEEPsIE, N. Y,
MAN FOUND RELIEF IN SAxO
SALVE.

81 had been troubled with weeping
eczema for months and used many
preparations for skin troubles without
relief. The first application of Saxo
Salve allayed the dreadful itching i'm
mediately and after further use my
skin trouble entirely disappeared.
Saxo Salve was just what / needed. -
w. II. Glynn, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
In eczema the little vesicles or pim-
pies are filed with fluid that burns
and tortures the skin the moment
they are torn open by scratching.
This causes it to spread.
In such cases we can conscientious
ly recommend our new skin remedy,
Saxo Salve, for its action on the skin
in all forms of eczema and other dis
tressing skin troubles is indeed mar

ROASTING A POOR EXERCISE
IL Loosens the Fiber of the Brain and
Makes Men Soft and
FIabby.

Boosting is a poor intellectual exer-

the brain and make them soft and

ing is injurious to the mind. we re-
member what DIR. Edward Everett Hale
said about it: "The Dragging of peo-
pie used to playing cards." and then
coupling the two observations, we get
a standpoint from which to view the
discrepancies of society.
The Medical Journal treats the mat
ter scientifically and learns from psy-
chology that the keeping the mind on
exciting uncertainties renders 1t in
efficient in the consideration of seri-
Gus things afterward. Go, for In
stance, from an exciting game Of base
ball and pick up your Emerson, Rus
kin, Sartor Resartus or Progress and
Poverty, and see where you are. Stuck
in the mud, that's certain. You can
not bulge a barley corn. Now, keep
that up. day after day, with any sort
of sport and then take account of your
mental condition.
We suspect the Medical Journal Is
right, and DR.. Hales illustration is pat.

thinker Of yourself, 1t would be we'll

PASSING of the "Writinq Masters"

One sometimes regrets the passing
of the writing master" of the schools
of the last century, for even in these
days of typewriting the signature
must be handwritten. There seems
to be sort of slap-dash, conceited
belief among the users of type ma
chimes that everybody can recognize
his personal signature. This is an
unfounded belief, and in drawer by
his side there are letters signed-by
unknown persons who have never
learned to write their name. Their
bankers may possibly recognize the
hieroglyphic. But it would ease mat
tiers II the user OF the type machine
would learn to write his own name
distinctly. We are not all everybody's
bankers.

able time. Each has his own cell
with hammock bed washing utensils
and table for books. The cells are
lighted by electricity and heated by
radiators. The authorities have not
forgotten the spiritual needs of thei,

ministry Of justice for the welfare Of
the prisoners is seen by an electric
bell at the head of each hammock, so
that the detained, If he be taken sud-
denly Ill, can communicate with the

Death is everywhere, as 1t always
den. No more, as it was once, Is
death the commonplace sight, the
thing to meet the eye on every side.
1t Is pleasanter for life that this is so,
yet, because of the fact, there are
fewer philosophers in the world, fewer
persons conscious of the inevitable,
fewer still who, when their summons
comes, can be easy and cheerful and
die little mindful of troubles and
wounds endured, and with a fair word
for the pleasures experienced.
