DICKENS ADVICE TO HIS SON
Man Of Deep Religious
Conviction.

When Charles Dickens son went to
Cambridge the great novelist wrote:
'As your brothers have gone away
enc by one / have written to each of
them what am now going to write
to you.
You know that you have never been
hampered with religious forms of re
straint and that with mere unmean.
ing forms l have no sympathy.
But l most strongly and affection
ately impress upon you the priceless
value of the New Testament, and the
study of that book as the one unfail-
ing guide in life.
Deeply respecting it. and bowing
before the character of our Savior, as
separated from the vain constructions
and inventions of men, you cannot go
very wrong, and will always preserve
at heart a true spirit of veneration
and humility.
Similarly / impress upon you the
habit Of saying a Christian prayer
every night and morning.
These things have stood by me
all through my life, and remember
that l tried to render the New Testa-
ment Ineligible to you and lovable by
you when you were mere baby"

Predicts q Simple ReIioion.

"When the war is over we are going
to have a simple religion, religion
without frills," the bishop of Stepney
said, addressing those who took part
in the second procession of prayer and
intercession service arranged by the
Church League for Women's Suffrage
in hyde Park. ''No frills," he added,
pointing, amid laughter, to the frills
on his own sleeves.
"We shall want a religion that will
hold us together. We have had a great
deal too much Of individualism in re-
igion. We have had too much of the
ology Of the jolly miller who lived on
the banks of the River Dee, who said,
I care for nobody, no, not I, and no.
body cares for me-"
The boys when they came back from
the front would not want mere sing
Ing, or billiards, diluted with religious
thought, but something stronger and
firmer, he asserted, and with all his
heart he believed we wanted more re-
ligion, but real, living, simple relig-
ion.-London Observer.

Speed of the Turtle.

The slowness of the turtle again is
proved, but he gets there just the
same. While hunting on Dantz run in
Delmar township, L. R. Van Horn
found large mud turtle. He noticed
a steel plate on it's back, which bore
the inscription 'V. D. G., 4-15-13." It
was supposed that these were the ini-
tials of V. D. Gross of Tyadaghton, and
Van Horn wrote him a letter.
He replied that he had found the
turtle in Pine creek at Tyadaghton and
put on the plate and turned him loose.
In two years and seven months his tur-
tie has travelled 18 miles. Van Horn
has had copper plate made with his
initials and address, and he will send
the turtle to some point in the North
Tier and have it liberated.-Wellsbor

MADE BIG MISTAKE.
TRAVELLING MAN "GOT GAY" WITH
THE WRONG MAN.
Meant His Remarks as a Joke, but
Sleepy Individual Whom He Had
Abused Could Not See It
That Way.

A Columbus travelling man tells of
an unusual and humorous experience
on the road down in south Georgia a
few days ago.
A salesman had been working that
section and found business fine. Cot
ton sales had been good and the folks
had money to buy his commodity and
did buy. So, his work over and an
envelope stuffed with orders mailed in
the post Office, he felt in extraordinary
fine spirits when he boarded the train
to go to the next town.
The train started off and the sales
man stood on the back platform, smok-
ing good cigar and surveying the
scenery with great satisfaction. A
rather shiftless looking individual was
leaning against post near the track,
hundred yards or so from the depot.
The train had gathered considerable
momentum and was going fast when
1t passed the post.
Ihe salesman was in extraordinary
high spirits and his good humor had to
vent itself some way; and it expressed
itself in this most unusual manner.
When the rapidly-moving train passed
the shiftless-looking man the traveller
leaned off the platform, shook his fin
gers in the others face and in the
course of two or three hilarious Sec
onds gave him his complete industrial
and personal history in terse, crisp
phrases. The travelling man was smil-
Ing, and if the citizen had but known
1T, his apparently derogatory remarks
were really an expression of overflow
ing good nature and satisfaction with
the world, but the sleepy-looking man
couldn't see anything in it but malice
of the most astonishing and unexpect-
ed kind.
To the travelling mans astonishment,
The sleepy-looking man, galvanized into
life, started down the track at full
speed after the train, now going quite
fast. 1t was apparently an unequal
race and the man on the platform was
lightly amused, although admiring the
others pluck and endurance. In two
Or three minutes, however, he was sur
prfsed to find the speed of the train
lessening, and as it did so the runner
made another squirt. In just a little
bit the train came to a dead stop
the engine always paused to get water
there, although this passenger was, of
course, unaware of that fact. The
Marathon runner in the rear arrived
in time to jerk the traveller off the plat
form. The classiest kind of fight fol-
lowed, but when the travelling man
managed to climb back on the platform
as the train started off again, he had
two well-blacked eyes and his new suit
was sadly torn, while the gentleman
whom he had decorated with several
titles a quarter mile back down the
track, had found and was utilizing an
other post and seemed in a state of
perfect content.-Macon Telegraph.

need OF SYMPATHY
NATTER THAT MAKES FOR HAP
PfNESS IN THE HOME.
Wife Who Is Able to Make Her Hus.
band Talk on Favorite Topic Can
Always Be Sure of Holding
His Interest.

One of the greatest causes Of un-
happiness in married life is the lack
of interest in each others doingS after
the irrevocable step has been taken
and the newness of being always to-
gether has worn off, remarks the De-
troit News Tribune.
Then it is that unless the wife
makes the efforts to please that she
did in the counting days the husband
will go elsewhere for amusement. Yet
he is only following the natural in
stinct of humanity in seeking for SYM
pathetic companionship; the fault is
partly hers.
A man to be won and kept must first
be attracted and then made to feel
that he has sympathy which draws
him out and makes him talk about
what interests him most. 1t is not
enough to make him listen while he is
being talked to. For time that will
hold him, but he will tire of always
being listener, of always giving his
sympathy and receiving none.
To hold a man, a woman must un-
derstand and study him, she must not
be exacting, for to expect too much
only makes him feel that he wants to
give less.
A man usually goes out into the
world young; he leads a separate ex-
istence at an age when his sister is
still surrounded by her home circle.
When his work is done he has only to
think, "What shall do today that will
give me the most pleasure?"
Can anyone wonder that many years
of indulgence in this, coupled with a
larger command of money than their
sisters, should make men more selfish
should end by fixing the habit of
thinking of their own pleasure so firm
ly in their minds that it is practically
ineradicable?
1t may be OverpOwered for a time
by strong affection and all the coun-
ter influences of courtship and early
matrimony; but later, when these
have ceased to be novelties and q
old habit reasserts itself.
A woman, on the contrary, is trained
in different school. When her broth
er is out in the world earning his liv-
ing, or, at any rate, living separate
existence, she is usually at home with
other members Of the household, when
she has always to consider when any
plans or engagements, however trivial,
have to be made.
Having thus to defer to the wishes
of her relations, she is duly trained
in habits of yielding to others and of
unselfishly giving up her will and
pleasure to them. So he in his bache-
lor days is duly trained to selfishness !;
she in her spinsterhood is equally
brought up to unselfishness.

MANY POINTS ABOUT CIGAR
Not Alone Must "Weed" Have Proper
Flavor, But Other Things Have to
Be Given Consideration.

A cigar should have four cardinal
virtues. The first and most important
is good burn-that is, the burn must
be even, the cigar must hold its fire,
the ash should be coherent and not
flaky, and there must be no charring
in advance Of the burn.
The second point relates to the
favor. This is important to the smok-
er-the cigar must tickle his palate
The third essential point has to do
with the aroma, which is the pleasure
giving quality of the smoke, not only
to the smoker, but to the bystander.
Even though cigar has a rich,
smooth, mellow flavor, it should be
classed as a poor one If it gives off
bouquet which is offensive to all
within range Of its fumes.
Finally, cigar should have a good
appearance. Really, it is surprising
how important this is. No matter how
fine the burn, or how pleasing the
flavor or aroma, cigar must look the
part in order to be good. Given two
cigars of equal quality, the one which
looks the best will actually taste the
best.-Cigarology of Henry Reist
Kraybill of the University of Chicago

Photography in Air Raids.

Photography, of course, is playing
an ever-increasing part in the aerial
reconnaissance. 1t is now one of the
prime means of ascertaining the acch-
racy with which bomb dropping is at
tended. Contrary to the general idea,
when a place is to be bombarded the
process does not consist merely of a
few plucky airmen plotting their ma
chimes to the neighborhood and tax
ing big risks to try to get in lucky
shot before returning. The fire that
follows the dropping of each bomb is
photographed by aircraft from above,
so that a permanent record is made
concerning the places actually dam
aged. Nothing is left to guesswork.-

Fate and Character Alike.

It took the world many generations
to recognize and to accept the simple
truth that fate and character were
the same. Even now, though it Is ad-
voeated virtually by all creeds and
by all persons who think about the
matter, it is rather an idealistic the
ory than a practical reality. To
take it into the mind and the heart,
to care for it sufficiently to put It IN
control of the feelings, to give it, in
other words, loving recognition, Is to
turn from wayward and contradictory
theories and to make right start in
living.
