cate that Judge William Hughes of

over James Smith Jr. of Newark, in
the New Jersey statewide preferen-
tial primaries by majority estimated
at 10000 to $4,000.
Returns came in slowly Thousands
of Democrats remained away from the

Indications are that Smith has carried

The Progressive party candidates in
Hudson county won, over the machine

ly in the southern end of the state, to

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act of Street. Wait That
Gained Him 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 penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for 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, we'll 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 jolly
ring in his voice.
Now" he said, "we'n have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such 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.

Breach Widens to Final Break.
Mr.. Laid pretended that it did not
matter, but evidently he felt little
hurt. The girl imagined that he was
suspicious, and when day after day
passed with no trace of the ring she
grew proudly silent and refused fur
Their explanations. They parted in an
ger and she wrote note breaking the
engagement-and both of them were
miserable.
Two days after that the ring reap
peared inside the wrapping paper
around piece of meat from the mar
ket, which Miss Carberry unwrapped
when she took 1t out of the icebox
The girl, at the insistence of her moth
er, wrote to Mr.. Laid, returning the
ring and stating that she had found
it in a peculiar place and expressing
regret that it's loss had caused them
to quarrel. ,Ladd hurried to her as
soon as he got the note and begged
her to forgive him and to wear the
ring again.
Again Wore Engagement Ring.
AS no one outside the immediate
family knew of the broken engage
ment, they kissed, made up, vowed
never again to allow such trivialities to
mar their perfect happiness. Miss Car
berry wore her ring again, proudly ex-
hibiting it to her friends.
Four days later Miss Carberry ac-
cepted Mr.. Ladd's suggestion to meet
her at luncheon. They had a jolly
little luncheon, and Miss Carberry and
Laid both remember that she had the
ring on her engagement finger when
they were eating the salad. A man
friend of Mr.. Ladd's entered and
stopped at the table to speak to bim,
and was presented to Miss Carperry
proudly as his fiancee. Miss Carberry
extended her hand, and the ring was
missing. She observed its loss al

friend had passed on she whispered:

SOLVING the Old Problem,

When Sir Thomas Upton was a
small boy in Scotland, he dropped into
church one Sunday morning and
was put by himself in a pew directly
in front of the minister, who preach
ed a. sermon on the text, Am I my
brothers keeper"
The parson, who was unusually elo-
quent, talked on this theme for about
forty minutes, and finally worked up
to the climax of his remarks. He kept
his gaze fixed directly on the little
Upton. who began to fidget and look
very self-conscious. At last, after an
overwhelming outpouring OF long
words. the minister, his eyes blaz-
ing. made quick gesture and shouted
at the boy:
Am | my brothers keeper"
Upton could stand the strain no
longer, and replied, in meek voice:
SNo. sir."-The Popular Magazine.
