DlCKENs' HAIR NO ANTIQUITY.
Owners Return Lock 10 England RAJ
ther than Pay $40 Duty.
Washington Post.)


The recent decision Of the Treas
ury Department that lock of hair
clipped from the head of Charles
Dickens did not constitute in itself
an antiquity resulted in the shipment
back to England Of the famous relic.
The treasury held that although
Dickens if living would be more than
100 years old, it was clearly evident
that the lock of hair could not lay
claim to any such age. An antiquity
as viewed by the treasury officials
must be at least a century old.
Had it not been for the decision
by the owners that the lock was
worth while only. as a curiosity and
that they did not feel justified in
paying $40 into the New York GUS
tom house, a record would have been
established for tariff charges upon
articels Of no intrinsic value. The
Dickens relic had been sold publicly
in London for 5000.

plOyed men early his morning
marched through Chicago's business

The men marched in State street
four abreast, carrying a banner which
read: I'VE demand work, not char
ity." The army halted cars and
cried to passengers that they wanted
work. At Van Buren street the po-
lice halted the marchers, but they
soon reformed their line farther
down the street.

shouted a pedestrian from the curb.

Brother farmers, the Good Book
tells us that all run in the race, but
one receivcth the prize. We had IS
contestants in this corn race and only
five reported officially, and we un-
derstand that some of these contest
ants made as much as 20 bushels
per acre. When you enter the race
stay in it. and if you make only a
few bushels report it, Some say that
it is no use to enter the contest, for
you cannot compete with the acres
that make a large yield, but you can
not tell, for an acre may make over
100 bushels one year and about one
third as much the next. We know
this to be the case since this contest
has been going on.
We have already ID contestants
for corn next year and hear of a good
many more who intend to enter. We
ought to have anyhow as many as
100. So drop the chairman a card
and he will enter you, and do not
wait for some one to come and see
you.
