And Dickens Went and Stood Not
Upon the Order Of His Going.
Colonel B. was the proprietor of
widely known old house in the south
which three-quarters of a century ago
had earned Its reputation as a well
conducted tavern.
When Charles Dickens came to Amer.
lea he stopped at this southern house
He was hardly settled In his room be-
fore Colonel B. was at the door. He
assured him that his horses, his wines,
all the lavish hospitality of state
famed for its generosity, stood at the
convenience of the distinguished Wis
itor.
Dickens received the proffer coldly.
In London one did not accept tavern
keeper as a social equal So 1t was
that he returned the courteous offer by
saying that when he wished the serv.
Ices Of the innkeeper he would send for
him.
For sixty seconds Colonel B. stood ST.

the while. Finally he stretched out a
long arm toward Dickens.
"You go, sir!' he stammered. land

Held Bible and Rudder,

Some years ago Japan was neither so
free nor SO friendly with other nations
as she is today. In those old days
when foreign ship entered the Japa
nese ports the captain was obliged to
place his Bible and rudder in charge
OF the chief officer of the port and
leave them there until he was ready
to SAIL OF course he wouldn't sail
without either, and the Japs could
easily keep tabs ON the movements Of
all ships in their harbors.

Game of "Noses."

The game of noses Is lots OF fun. In
order to play there must be six or
more children, the more the merrier.
Then divide into sides. You hang up
paper curtain with a hole in It about
the size of a child's nose. With one
side on each side OF the curtain, the
first side begins taking turns to put
their noses In the hole. The other side
then tries to guess to whom the nose
belongs. When one side is finished the
second side has its turn to put their
noses In the hole. The side that makes
the fewer mistakes wins the game.

Cowpox is a contagious disease due
to an organism which cannot be seen
by the microscope and which is so
small that 1t passes through fine

man. The disease always is traceable
to a previous outbreak, to an affected
animal or to man who has had
smallpox or who has been recently
vaccinated against It. One attack gen.
orally gives immunity to subsequent
attacks. 1t may be contracted at any
season of the year and is spread from
