GREAT WRITER IN JEOPARDY
Charles Dickens Once Threatened
With arrest for Attempting to
Pass Counterfeit Money!

One night when Dickens 1ad retiyed
at Gad's Hill he found he could not
sleep. So he got suppressed and de-
termined to walk to Eondon. 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
pc gave the proprietor sovereign, the
smaIless coin he had with him.
Its bad un." said the man, bit
ing at It and trying to twist it in all
directions. "and ] shall give you in
charge" ~
The coin did have suspicious look,
Dickens had carrsed some substance IN
his ipocket which had oxidized it. Seq
ing that matters looked awkward, he
said, "~
y "But am Charles Dickens!",
Come. that won't do; any man
could say he was Charles Dickens.
How do known"
iNThe man had been victfmized a
week previous and would take no
more chances. At length Dickens sug-
gested that they go to 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 a
confidence man.

Pssslna Of the "Writing 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 q 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, apd ~ drawer by
his side there are iettsss signed-by
unknown persons who have never
learned to write their nanse. Their
bankers may possibly recognize the
hieroglyphic. But 1t 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

Oldest Almanac.

The Oldest almanac in existence Is
the "Almanach National" which has
been issued by the French govern
ment since 1856. It's name has been
changed good many times during
its career OF 225 years. Originally the
"Almanach Royal" 1t became ma
tional" in 1893, "Imperial' In 1905.
and reverted to it's original name nine
years later. Since then the title has
been altered feur times. Like most
publications of this Sort, the .hAl.
uanach National has grown bulky
with advancing years. The first issue
contained rs pages, as compared with
1850 pages in the current issue. 80

RETAIN THEIR RACIAL TYPE
oIpsles In Spain Are Of That Country
Only Because II Is Their 10
Birthplace. n

One of the things to attract the
notice OF every traveller that visits
Spain ~ that strange race wAfoh he
finds scattered here and there in small
groups in the remote rural districts or
near the great centers of population.
It presents a type that can be mista-
ken for no other In the Spanish do
minions.
The lips thick, the eyes large. black
and piercing. the hair long, black and
straight. the complexion olive tinted.
the Spanish gypsy. whether encamped
in a sheltering ravine or under the
arches of an aqueduct or in the shad-
ow of an overharging cliff. is indeed
Spanish because born in Spain. Eat In
all else he is a gipsy.
Time was when Spaniards of tne
true blue blood called gipsies New
Castilians." or Egyptians" or "Moor-
ish footpads;"' but while their traits
have undergone no change their name
is now definitely gftanos, or gipsies.
Between fifty and sixty thousand is
the number of them now in Spain, says
America. Most of them have no fixed
abode; but in some parts, and notably
in Andalusia. there are several small
settlements. for towns they can hardly
be called. where these wanderers hare
taken possession Of caves in the
mountain side. Whence they sally forth
to tell fortunes and to filch. Wher-
ever they are, they are inclined to be
quarrelsome among themselves and to
enforce their arguments by means of
wicked looking knives. which they
WELD with great dexterity.

AGED IS: SEES FIRST
SHOW; DAUGHTER STARS

When Mrs. Thompson is not in the
stage box she is sitting attentively in
the wings. 1t is proving a wonderful
week to her. Her only worry Sunday
was that it was the first Sunday she
had missed church in the 26 years
she had lived in Moscow, but she was
sure she would be forgiven. 1t has
now become the custom for every one
on the Orpheum bill to acknowledge
each encore by bowing affectionately
to the little gray-hearied women when
she sits in the audience.
Mrs. Thompson won't look so far
ahead as the end of the week, when She
must say goodby to the gala week,
and she announced last night that, al
though the stage was great entertain
ment, she didn't think she would
want to go to Moscow theatre 1t
might spoil her memory of this week
Mrs. Thompson is the mother of w.
G. Barge.
Mr.. and Mrs w. G. Barge leave to-
morrow for Spokane where they will
visit Mr.. Barge's sister, Mrs Jack Will
son, who with her husband has been
playing the Orpheum circuit and has
spent the last week in that city. Mr..
Barge's mother who has been spend
ing the week with her daughter in
Spokane, will return with her son to
her home in Moscow

There is one woman in Washington
who is sure the present bill at the Or
pheum theatre is the greatest ever.
And there are reasons why it should be
to her, says the Spokesman-Review.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Margaret
Thompson, 70 years old, of Moscow
sat in the stage box and saw the first
performance she had ever seen in any
theatre. And what is more, she saw
her son, daughter and son-in-law on
the stage for the first time.
Mrs. Thompson was enthusiastic, and
when Jack Wilson, Ada Lane and
Franklin Bate made their appearance
in the encore and put a question to
her she exctedly waved her hand and
shouted her reply across the footlights.
And it may also be added that of the
IA performances this week she does not
expect to mss more than her nerves
will command her
Her daughter has been on the stage
for many years, as has her son, who
was Wilson's partner for years. But
Mrs. Thompson's thoughts had not run
to things theatrical and she didn't
know just what her children did TO get
their names in the paper. Sunday was
her first peep at her sonin-law, Jack
and she was sure he was the
colored man she would ever
see

FRENCH THANKS BULL
MOOSE FOR ENDORSEMENT

Congressman French has written a
letter to State Chairman Gipson and
Secretary Davis of the progressive
state central committee expressing his
appreciation of the endorsement of his
candidacy given by the executive COM
mittee of that party acting in accord
with the desires of the full state CEN
trail committee. Congressman French
in his letter takes occasion to an
nounce renewed allegiance to progress
sive principles and to declare his in
tention to work harder than ever be-
fore to carry them through.
His letter is as follows:
Moscow, Ida, Sept. IL, 1912.
Hon. j. H. Gipson,
Chairman Progressive State Com
mittee.
Hon. Paul Davis,
Secretary,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sirs: Yesterday l received
your telegram advising me that the
progressive party of Idaho had endors-
ed Senator Borah and myself for re-
election, and l am grateful for this
signal appreciation of our work.

evenly matched. from financial point
of view.
Hustling, and not money, will win
these cars and the other prizes, and
that's what the Star-Mirror desires.
There isn't single contestant in
this race that hasn't just as much
chance to win the big prizes as any
other contestant, for ability to hus-
tie for subscriptions, will surely de-
eide the winner.
And there isn't any reason why
everybody should not work with all
possible energy, for if you do not win
prize, you will be paid 10 per cent
of all the money you turn in.
5000 Vote Coupon.
In the paper each day this week
there is a coupon good for 5000 extra
votes, when accompanied by a daily
subscription to the Daily Star-Mirror
for one year, and coutnersigned by the
contest manager.
This coupon is for this week only,
