by an American. The artist happened
to be in the gallery and in broken
English one of the Frenchmen asked:
How did monsieur ever catch such
a wonderful picture?"
90" replied the artist. with a far
away look. that painting was an on

The other Frenchman was greatly
interested and asked his friend what
that American had said.

the first Frenchman excitedly; he
said ze picture was one spring OF

that there was a good deal Of Mr.. Ca

of him after this evening. We've got
the probate business about settled and
all I've got to do is to settle him."
Aunt Jane laid down her knitting
and adjusted her glasses for a steady
inspection of her niece. do you mean
to say you expect him to propose?" she
asked.
II wouldn't swoon with surprise If
he did," replied Mrs. Merriwid. II

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Walt That
Gained Him a Friend In Great
Novelist.

Charles Dickens. the creator of
many delightful. child characters.
earned million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen. but often walk
ed the streets OF London in search OF
material for his books without PEN
ny In his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens
searched his pockets. but they were
empty, and SO he told tpe boy, who
was shiverlng in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow. well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg.
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with a jolly
ring In his voice.
Now" he said, well have two hot
buns apiece
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the lad home
with him. and there he was fed and
clothed. and started on the road to a
better life.

X X are blocks securely fastened to

If she wishes to raise her head while
eating she can do so, as the bar will

braces of the same material. These
partitions are hung by ordinary T

Where He Drew the Line.

who had no family. was notorious
for his hatred Of children. and on one
occasion he engaged as lodge keeper

Some few months later McMicken's
wife presented him with a son and
heir. On learning Of the occurrence
his lordship rode down to the lodge
in a terrible rage.

May I ask why, my dear7" said
Aunt Jane. elaborately.
Because he can't note any excep-
tion to the courts ruling on the
ground that the court erred when she
employed the word not In her deci-
sion." Mrs. Merriwid replied. "He
won't get any thirty days or thirty
seconds to file an appeal. He won't
have the closing argument either, or
get the costs taxed to anybody but
Mr.. Capias. I've one or two other
reasons"
Il don't call what you've said any
reason" remarked Aunt Jane. severely.
Have a marron glace. dearie," said
Mrs. Merriwid, selecting one with the
candy tongs and forcibly inserting 1t
in her aunt's protesting mouth. ITO

man has a deep bass voice and
rumbles with 1t and then puffs out
his cheeks and swells his chest to
show how much wind he's got left IL
he cared to use 1t. always want to
give him jar. Poor dear Henry nev-

Aunt Jane.
'Self-rising." agreed Mrs. Merriwid.
81 don't doubt 1t. auntie. He's a par
ticularly yeasty person. You take a

you've got something that will go up

Bless your cunning little curls-
which you haven't got on quite
straight, dearie. There! Now they're
all right. Bless your cunning little
curls! a woman might always do
worse. That's the one consolation
she has. There are more varieties Of
cussedness in men than some people

them all, or even the worst of them,
