Dickens Humann0ss.

The best part Of Charles Dickens, the
great novelist, was the humanness OF
him. coming out in the tender pathos
with which he streaked the funny side
OF life. Primarily humorist, he was,
alike many another humorist, a human
list too. Dickens came out of that low
,er London life. one-third grotesque, one
third pitiful, one-third heroic. which he
pictured In his writings. He had lived
the struggles of Oliver Twist, of David
Copperfield and of Philip in Great Ex-
pectations" That was the reason why
he was able to lay hold of peoples
hearts when he described those death
less persons-New York Mail.

base hit, and Magee wasn't even going
at top speed / think he was slowing
up and swinging out of the line a bit
so as to make the turn at third with
out losing ground. Tinker was going
with the ball as hard as he could
when he reached out, grabbed it and
hung on, although he was staggering.
There wasn't a chance for him to
straighten up and throw Titus out at
first as his back was toward the plate,
and besides, he was staggering.
heard Evers yell, and like a flash Tin
ker tossed the ball to Evers and then
plunged on with his face in the grass.
l didn't look for play at all, but the
moment Evers got his hands on the
ball he shot it at me like a bullet. I
was SO astonished at the play l just
had time to throw out my hands, grab
ribs just as he turned his head to see
whether he would have to run hard to
score or could loaf home.
Evers, in half a second, had seen
Magee slow up, and knowing Titus
was across first. he yelled to Tinker
for the ball and threw to me. He
had figured Magee would loaf on the
turn and stop to see where the ball
was-and he figured it to the tenth of
a second and got his man, saving the
game for us and giving us another
chance at the pennant.
The crowd. instead of approaching
Evers' wonderful work. thought Magee
had Numbered, and roasted him,
scarcely noticing the brilliant feat of
Tinker and Evers.

Wreath of Uocusta,

James o. Kichline Of North Bethele-
hem, Pa. has a unique relic of the in
vasion in 1885 Of the 17-year locusts
in this vicinity. When locusts by the
million overran the country there he
spent his spare time gathering the in
sects.
Then at his leisure he constructed
out Of them a wreath and a star. He
took a year to do this. and In the con-
strrction of the wreath used many
thousands of 1ocusts.
The wreath itself is composed en-
tirely of locusts' wings. arranged in
flower and leaf fashion. The stars
center is also composed of locusts
wings, while the six points are made
OF whole locusts.
The background Of the star is made
OF leaves Of locusts: wings. The
wreath and star stand two feet high
by three feet wide. and this piece is
but one of the many novelties made
during his lifetime by MIR. Kichline,
who is seventy-four years old

Haskins, the president, who testified before special examiner in the governments suit to dissolve the corporation.
 Questions were asked by govern ment attorney to show that the Inter national Harvester Company of Amerl- ca was merely the selling agency of the International Harvester Company of New Jersey, and that the latter company was to make all the money

 The witness said the company sold to agents with 5 per cent discount for cash. and the agent. by adding bis profit. determined the price the farm CT was to pay. One reason, MT.

CRUST COVERED BABY'S HEAD

o32 Brunswick St.. Baltimore, Md.-s "My baby's face broke out In pinaples, which after bathing would weep and form scabs until his head and face were completely covered with crust and his hair all fell out. It was cross and would not sleep. Each day it spread until his entire face and head were covered with weeping sores. I tried several prescriptions, but did not find any relief. Then I decided to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment
 After using them two or three times the sores dried up and after . half dozen applications all disfgure. ment disappeared. Tn less than three weeks tue sores and scales were con- pletely gona. and baby's skin as smooth and clear as when he was first born. Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured him." (Signed) Mrs. Lottie V.

ONLY SMALL SUM OBTAINED

Chattanooga, Tecn.-The two white men who held up and robbed the Mem phis special on the Southern Rail- way near Stevenson, Ala, are still at large and there is apparently no effort being made to effect their cap ture.
 It is said that the robbers obtained less than S100 from the registered mail and overlooked the fact that the four mail clerks, whom they left tied on the floor had in their pockets more than $400.
 The bandits boarded the mail car while the train was standing at the water tank near Stevenson, through 8 half-open door, and with the order, "all hands up and everybody lie down." compelled Charles Flint, one of the mail clerks to tie the hands of the other clerks and then lie down himself.
 The train left the water tank with out any of the crew being aware of the robbers aboard. The holp-up men remained ill the car for 40 miles and left the train at Stevens Gap. escap- ing through the woods, which are very heavy in that vicinity.
