above result on second trial. We

dience was highly edited and Well

Dickens, Poor Taste In Dress.

When Charles Dickens was to make
his first appearance in America as a
reader an immense crowd awaited him
at a public hall in Boston. The en-
thusiasm Of the people had risen to
fever heat. One of his most ardent
admirers afterward told this little In
cident of the evening:
with a few gentlemen, who wished
TO welcome him and to show him at
tention, was in the little room back
of the platform when Dickens entered
II. He was a rather stout man. with
somewhat red face, and saw, to my
surprise, that he was dressed in an
exaggerated servility to the extreme
of fashion More than this, he wore a
boutonniere IN each buttonhole, and
two watches, the chains of which we're
strung aggressively across his chest.
There was a gaudy bad taste in his
appearance which his friends regret
ted. knowing how distasteful it would
be TO his admirers, who appreciated
his genius and enjoyed his writings"

amazed to hear his hostess pleasantly

PeekinGs.

Mrs John Pozor Of Main street.
Newton, N. j., feared that a fine shade
tree on her lawn would be killed by a
woodpocker that appeared there every
day and pecked away at a hole which
he was making larger and larger,
Therefore she had her husband tack
sheet Of tin over the hole when the
bird was absent.
Refusing TO be discouraged and pre-
tending he does not know the differ
ence, the woodpecker now goes to
the tree every day and pecks away
like trip hammer on the tin sheet.
The neighbors are nearly crazy with
the noise, and there is law against
killing woodpeckers.
