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 a million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets of London in search of
material for his books without penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for a penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they were empty,
and SO he told the boy, who was shiv-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
OF the street to sec what the outcome
would be. The Lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with jolly
ring in his voice.
Now" he said, wen 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 q
better life.

Leaving Home to Seek the FL
Dorado In the New World.

Colon, Panama-It was lust for gold
that brought the Spaniards to America
in the fifteenth century 1t was. the
same lust that led them to make many
daring trips of exploration into the
interior. An expedition set out from
the island of Haiti one day in the
year 1913. When the vessel was well
out to the sea, and the wooded shores
of the island had grown dim in tbs
distance, the Adventures were amaz-
to hear mufied shouting from the
hold and noise OF knocking. The
sound was coming from one of num-
Der of great casks, supposed to con-
tain dried beef, and when the noisy
cask was discovered and the end
knocked of, well-built young man,
clad in the velvet garments gentlefolk
wore at that time, sprang out. Sew
eral of the Adventures recognized
him as Vasco Nunezele Balboa, a
young man known to many O. the col
onists of Haiti.
Balboa explained that he had chosen
this way of coming aboard because

closely that he knew they would
never have permitted him to leave the
island openly, but would have caused
him to be seized and cast into debt
ors' prison.
The destination of this party of adj
venture was Darien, near the site of
the Panama canal. No man knew
what lay across the isthmus, and in
deed most Spaniards believed at that
time that the West Indies were
islands off the coast of Asia.
When the vessel which Balboa had
boarded so unceremoniously reached
the mainland of Central America
members Of the little Spanish colony
already there refused to allow the
captain Of the vessel to come ashore,
for he had an evil reputation. The
other men, however, went ashore un-
der the leadership Of Balboa and at
once began trip of exploration. Bal
boa made an alliance with powerful
Indian chief who ruled that portion
of the land, and married the chiefs
daughter. At the wedding feast the
Indians brought rich gifts of slaves
and gold, and were amazed to see

Singing and the Lungs.

1t is we'll known that singing, like
whistling, is a t1ne exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit Of
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
joy derived from it will never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.

At once Balboa fitted up'an expedi-

land of gold. With him he took 200
men and a pack of savage dogs, which
should attack unfriendly Indians.
Balboa called the new ocean the
South sea, because he was looking
toward the south when first he saw
1t. But he and his followers, though
they had discovered new ocean,
failed to find the land of gold for
which they had set out. He then re-
turned to Darien and sent word to
the Spanish king Of the great discov-
cry which he had made. Then he
caused for small ships to be taken
apart and carried across the noun

other side of the new ocean lay the
Ell Dorado. These vessels were set up
