NEW PORTRAIT OF DICKENS
Engraving of Noted Author, Fever
enced by Lovers of Literature, Re-
Gently Sold at Auction.

A new portrait of Dickens, hitherto
unknown, not only to his friends, but
even to his family, is surely a rare
discovery, says Christian Science
Monitor, commenting on the fact that
Dickensians had the pleasure of seeing
its reproduction in recent issue OF
their paper. The portrait, which is a
crayon drawing, is signed w. J. L., ini-
tials which are believed to stand for
w. J. Linton, the famous wood en-
graver, the author Of several pictures
for "A Christmas Carol and 'The
Chimes"
1t was from Mrs. e. Lynn Linton, w.
J. Unions wife, that Dickens bought
Gadshill place, but there is apparently
no record that Linton ever visited
Dickens there. 1T cannot, in fact, be
determined whether this new portrait
was done from life or not. 1t evident
ly has been to America at some time
or other, for on the back of 1t appears:
"New York Transfer Co., Dodd's Elk
press, 944 Broadway, New York" The
portrait was recently sold by auction
In London, and is now the property OF
Messrs. Leggatt Bros. of Cheapside.

IN MATTERS OF EDUCATION
Question Where Authority for the
Proper Conduct Of Operations
Should Be Rightly Placed.

Fundamentally the determining fac
tor in educational administration be-
comes today one of finance. The
school superintendent declare them
selves unable to raise more money To-
cally than is already furnished. The
whole question of educational finance
In relation to local taxation has not yet
been adequately considered to deter
mine the validity of such statements.
Without going further into this prob
lem an agitation has been begun for
securing aid from the federal govern
ment. 1t is argued that the federal au-
thority today is in better position for
levying taxes than is the local author
ity, that the nation as whole is like
ly to suffer unless national measures
are adopted for combating illiteracy,
Americanizing the immigrant, and Inn
proving the physique of the citizens,
and finally that teachers may now be
regarded as performing service of ma
ticnal importance-New Republic.

for America. He was deeply touched,

dents cap. which he said he would
be greatly hOnOred in wearing.

Chamberlain's Tablets

When you are troubled with indiges-
ton or constipation take Chamberlain s
Tablets. They strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform it's functions
naturally. Indigestion is usually &C
companied by constipation and is ag-
gravated by it. Chamberlain's Tablets
cause gentle movement of the bow
els, relieving the constipated condition.

scious Of a wish to be like them.
After all, the lads arrived at this we'll

good deal; but the food and exercise were

There is nothing here that anyone cam

ones common sense can be boosted by read

which deal clearly with such subjects.
As to the exercise, there is no better way
known to keep the body fit than by the reg

and founded kingdom in Sicily.
Thus the eastern Roman Empire found
itself cut off. both by Christians and by
Mahomedans. but the danger from the
Mahpmedans was the greater. Fur

the Mediterranean into Spain and had
conquered practically all OF tho penin-

their own laws and language and civill-

The advance of the Saracens In this d.
