Easy Street.?There was once upon
a time a church which labored under
th? burden of exceeding: poverty such
that its very mice were in a class by
themselves.
It means hard times for everybody.
The minister starved, and even at that
the congregation had to pinch and
plan and rake and scrape to keep
things going. But one day a philan-,
throplst came to the rescue.
"My friends. I like your spunk!"
quoth he, and with that he bestowed
upon the church an endowment such
that it was lifted perpetually beyond
mundane want. Of course, the people
rose up and called him blessed. They
rendered thanks to the Giver of gifts,
and sang hymns of praise, and thought
themselves very fortunate.
"Henceforth!" they exclaimed joyfully,
"we may devote ourselves wholly
to the religious side of our church!"
But before long they found them
selves affected with a curious manner
of drowsiness. They still performed
the stated rites of worship, but perfunctorily.
Though they held faithfully
to the form of service, they were
given somehow to feel that it did not
greatly matter any more. They pondered.
"Can it be that the soul of religion
is the sacrifice it induces in its followers?"
they asked one of another
wonderingly.
Whether or no they fell away, leaving
the endowed church to become a
mere social convenience, where grand
dames resorted to show off their millinery,
their gauds and their limousines,and
wherein there were no poor folk
that you could notice.?Ramsey Benson

. ? . I
Too Much for Him.?A well-known
humorist tells the following story, evidently
meaning it to convey a warning:
^ "When I was a boy in Geneva," he
said, "I was once taken through an
asylum that was not far from the
town. Many strange, terrible things
I saw in this place, but what affected
me most deeply was the sight of a
young man of intelligent and refined
appearance, who sat with his head in
his hands, mumbling over* and over
again, without a pause:
" 'I can't strap it around my waist,
and it won't go Into my pocket. It
isn't a motor horn, because it won't
blow. It isn't a lamp, for it won't
light. I can't put it on my feet and it
will not go over my head. It is neither
a fountain pen, a pipe, nor a balloonist's
barometer. It looks like a golf
glove, but it is not a tennis racquet.
I can't?'
"Turning away, I asked the keeper
the young man's history.
" 'Ah, sir, a sad case,' the keeper
said. 'One year ago that there young
man was prosperous and renowned?
the finest puzzle inventor and decipherer
for miles around. But last Christmas
his best girl gave him a present
made with her own hands, and in
try in' to determine Its name and its
use the poor fellow became what you
see.'"
Ths Station Agsnt's Job.?Do you
suppose No. 17 will be on time day
after tomorrow? Why not?"
"Can you tell me if a young lady in
a blue dress and straw hat got off the
train which got in from the north at

"What time does the 5 o'clock train
leave, and is It going to leave on
time?
"Is the train going to get into Fort
Wayne on time, do you think?"
"What made No. 7 so late a week
ago laat Tuesday?"
"Do you think it is safer to ride in
a parlor car, or is there apt to be a
rear-end collision?"
"Why is No. 13 marked up for fifteen
minutes late?"
"Have you noticed an old gentleman
with white whiskers and a telescope
go through the gate at any time today?"
"How do I get to Blink's Corner,
Tex., without changing cars?"
"I lost a backcomb on the southbound
train three weeks ago last Wednesday.
Can you tell me where I can
find It?"
"Will you watch for my sister and
tell her how to get up to my house?
I haven't time to wait for her train!"?

A Matter of Brains.?Mr. and Mrs.
Jinklets had stopped on the street
corner after leaving the car and were
having some words.
"Don't you think I've got brains
enough to drop off of a car?" he inquired
with cutting carcasm.
"No. I don't," she replied, without
circumlocution of any kind.
"You don't?" Mr. J. had not expected
such a positive negative.
"No. I don't."
"Well. I got off all right, didn't I?"
"Yes. but you brought your brains
with you. You haven't got any to

come with them, though."
Mr. Jinklets. perceiving the futility
of further argument, shut up.

Rock Hill Record, February 9: This
afternoon about 2.30 an alarm of fire
was turned In from Brooklyn, a negro
suburb of the city. The Are company
responded promptly and found
a house occupied by a negro woman
named Susie Benton, on fire. This was
totally destroyed and the roof burned
on another one adjoining. The houses
belonged to Mr. J. Barron Steele and
the loss was partly covered by Insurance
A 2-year-old child of Mr.
and Mrs. John Long of the Highland
Park mill village, died this morning
and its remains were buried in Laurelwood
cemetery this afternoon.
Gastonia Gazette, February 9: Mr.

company and one of the best known
cotton goods manufacturers of the
state, died at 10.20 o'clock yesterday

town knew of his desperate illness,
and, hence, the announcement of his
death came as a distinct shock. Up
till Wednesday- his physicians had some
hope for his recovery, but Wednesday
night he suffered a serious setback and
grew rapidly worse. It vyas known
early in the morning that the end was
but a few hours off. In the early hours
of the morning Mr. Gray became unconscious.
Four weeks ago he was
operated on for appendicitis and was
recovering satisfactorily from the effects
of the operation when, 10 days
ago, he developed a slight case of
pneumonia. He battled bravely against
the disease with his strong physique,
but was unable to overcome it.
Chester Lantern, February *9: Some
little interest was aroused by the visit
of Deputy Collector Fouche, of the
U. S. internal revenue forces, this
week. The collector levied the
amount of the United States license,
with penalty for delay in payment, upon
seven 1 local dealers In soft drinks,
who have been convicted in the city
court for violation of the Sunday law.
Mr. W. W. Bendlman is now

at the Magdalene hospital Saturday
morning and whose condition has been
extremely critical ever since, with the
chances not very much In his favor,
manifests decidedly encouraging symptoms
today, and the physicians now
have some hope of his recovery
The burning out of a chimney in the
residence of Mr. Carl Latimer, about
7 o'clock yesterday evening, was the
cause of rather a disastrous run by the
hose wagon. In attempting to make
the turn at Wylle street at highspeed
the wagon ran on to the postofflce sidewalk
and missed capsizing by a very
narrow margin, both horses being
thrown down by the shock, and one of
them, the gray, being pretty badly cut
up about the knees. Several of Chester's
volunteer firemen, who were riding
on the wagon, alighted with more
speed than grace, and it is extremely
fortunate that no serious injury was
suffered.
Chester Reporter, February 9: The
store of Mr. T. B. Gibson at Leeds,
was broken into and robbed Monday
evening, a considerable quantity of
merchandise being stolen, most of it
Hoi r> rr oHrvoa onrl u'Mapinc n nna rpl
From the information sent in it seems
that the stolen goods comprise six
pairs of shoes, three pairs of slippers,
one 22-calibre rifle and two hats. A
white man, a stranger, who was seen
loitering around the village Monday
evening, is suspected of the crime. He
told the townspeople that he was going
off on No. 41. which he probably
did after robbing the Gibson store. He
is described as tall, slender and
smoothly shaven; had on a light suit
of clothes and a light cap Last
night the stores of J. C. Farls and W.
B. Simpson, at Catawba Junction, were
destroyed by fire, the contents and
structures being a total loss. It is
thought that the Are was of incendiary
origin as the rear door of Mr. Simpson's
store was open when the fire was
discovered. The loss will amount to
nearly (5,000, partially covered by
insurance Deputies Bendiman and
Hardin, after a spirited and extended
chase, arrested Bob Wilks, colored,
yeste' day afternoon In the Armenia
neighborhood and committed him to
jail on the charge of stealing a horse
from Mr. J. O. Darby of R. F. D. 4,
Sunday evening. It Is claimed that
Wilks wanted to go to Yorkville in
quest of a marriage license, and in his
anxiety appropriated the services of
Mr. Darby's horse without the owner's
consent. He must have stolen a buggy
from some one else, for when seen
later by some parties who recognized
Mr. Darby's horse he was driving
j along in a buggy. When hailed he
tied, leaving norse anu ouim. i ne
buggy is at Mr. Darby's and may be
secured by the rightful owner, after

man under arrest proved not to be W.
E. Perry, who is wanted here for the
murder of Langdon L. Boozer, in 1905.
In answer to Sheriff Colvin's wire on
Monday Sheriff Jesse A. Beard of Columbus,
Ga., replied: "Perry not under
arrest here." A letter received yesterday
by Sheriff Colvln from Henry
Truesdale, the man who is trying to
capture Perry, said the man he had
under surveillance at Columbus tallied
perfectly with the description of Perry
except as to scars. He had no scars
while Perry, it will be remembered, at
the time of the killing bore several
scars which should make him easily
recognized and which will stay with
him as long as he lives. Truesdale
went on to say that he knows people
who have seen Perry recently, and Is
in hopes of capturing him.
A Standpatter.?Secretary Urey
Woodson of the Democratic national
committee, in returning to his hotel,
the Shoreham, at Washington, D. C.,
from The Raleigh on the night of the
recent Democratic banquet, hired a
a cab from an old darky. The night
was stormy, and the antiquated cab
horse was about all in when the top
of the Pennsylvania avenue hill was
reached. The old horse stopped on
reaching the top of the hill in sight
of the White House and refused to go
along another step.
"What sort of a horse have you
there?" Woodson inquired, sticking his
head out of the cab window.
Wielding the gad for all he was
worth and endeavoring to get old Dobbin
moving in the direction of the
Shoreham, the old darky replied:
"Dat horse, sir, am what I would
call an uncompromising standpatter."

CHARLES DICKFNS.
Centenary Sketch of the Greatest English
Author.
Today, February 7th, is the one
hundreth anniversary of Charles
Dickens, "the last, and perhaps
the greatest of mythologlsts." The
day is being celebrated in every
nation that speaks the language
in which he wrought, and in
scores of others-who see their Dickens
but darkly through the glass of translations.
The culmination of this centennial
celebration will be the presentation to
the heirs of the great author of a fund
collected by means of selling Dickens'
centennial stamps. This movement had
its genesis in England and was taken
up in the United States and other
countries. Its sponsors were such
men as Lord Alverstone, lord chief
justice of England; Lord Roseberry,
ex-prime minister; Andrew Lang,
Hall Caine and H. Rider Raggara. "
was presented to the world by such
publicity agents as Gilbert K. Chesterton
and William De Morgan.
Every lover of Dickens was asked
to buy a penny stamp, meaning the
English penny, or 2 cents, to be affixed
to the fly leaf of each volume of Dickens
in his possession. The fund thus
raised was to be presented to the Dickens
heirs to serve as some compensation
for the 'act that millions of volumes
of his novels were printed in
countries other than England itself,
from which the author received no return
on account of the absence of international
copyright laws and the lax
enforcement of the law in England.
The movement probably arose from
the fact that some of the heirs of
Dickens had been granted old age
pensions because of their poverty. How
many stamps were sold and how much
money was realized does not yet appear.
While It is undoubtedly true that
the absence of an international copyright
law deprived Dickens during his
lifetime, and his heirs after his death,
of a great amount of money, for no
author's books have had a wider sale,
It is also true that few writers have
realized as much money as did Dickens
from his writings and public readings.
When he died he left a fortune of
more than half a million dollars, and
in his last American tour, in 1867 and
1868, he made a net profit of more
than 8100,000. Book piracy was not
an exclusive American crime. Washington
Irving, Bret Harte and Mark
Twain were pirated in England, Just
as Dickens was pirated in the United
States, and there have been some genuine
admirers of Dickens who have not
warmed up to the stamp collection.
The lecture tour of Alfred Tennyson
Dickens, son of the novelist, in
this country, unhappily ended by his
sudden death in New York, showed
conclusively that Americans were not
insensible to their great obligation to
the novelist. One cannot help wondering
how a similar movement originating
in this country, based on the
centennial of Bret Harte In 1939, would
be received in England. English people
assume a superior virtue in declaring
that they have been more appreciative
of Bret Harte's high literary
ability than have his compatriots, but
it is none the less true that British
publishers pirated hiR books, and it is
also true that Bret Harte did not lampoon
and bitterly caricature the English
as Dickens did the Americans.
English biographers, with their instinct
for refined social stratification,
say that Dickens sprang from the lower
middle classes, and some of the
greatest English critics have bitterly
complained that the author never was
able to shake off his middle class atmosphere.
Even to this day scholarly
Englishmen refer with amazement to
the fact that Dickens had the monumental
effrontery to demand that his
sons be educated at Elton along with
the sons of gentlemen. It was many,
many years before it was "good form"
for an Englishman to read Dickens,
and it is barely possible that an impartial
historian would agree that,
considering all circumstances, Dickens
was better treated by Americans than
he was by his own people.
He has been called "the last of the
mythologists" because he created characters
that stepped out of the printed
page and became living and breathing
persons in the minds of all the English-speaking
people, even those who
have not read the books. Wilkins Micawber,
a caricature of Dickens' own
father, is a person as much as is
Shakespeare's Hamlet or Homer's
Helen, and as Hamlet and Helen are
known to those who have never read
Shakespeare or Homer, so Micawber
and TTrish Heen and Sairev fiamn and
Jerry Cruncher and Pecksniff and
others of the modern Olympian host,
are known to those who have never
read Dickens.
Lord Roseberry added to Lord Beaeonsfield's
statement that "England is
an island washed by a melancholy
ocean," the assertion that it is canopied
by a sunless sky. Laughter is not
indigenous to British soil. Therefore,
the greater the public debt to Charles
Dlokens, the man who broke through
the veils of the caste system in his
native country, Introduced all circles
of society to each other, and invented
laughter in England.
When Dickens was 24 years old he
created Mr. Pickwick, and from that
day to this. Pickwick and the Wellers
and Alfred Jingle and the Fat Boy and
the others of that crew have been making
people laugh?hearty laughs for
Weller, satirical laughs for Jingle,
kindly laughs for Pickwick and a
world-wide smile at human frailty
that is represented in the dictionaries
by the word "Pickwickian."
Dickens' first American tour was
made in 1842. when he was only 30
years old. He made speeches in favor
of the international copyright, as
his books were already being pirated
here. Apparently Dickens was more
outraged by the absence of caste in
America than by Its presence in England.
which he so keenlv ridiculed. He
was offended when he was entertained
too lavishly by the wealthy, and was
offended when he was praised too
heartily by the poor. He did not like
America nor any of its institutions,
and when he went home he printed
"American Notes," and followed it
closely with "Martin Chuzzlewlt."
He changed his mind somewhat
during his second tour of the states
and stipulated that thereafter all editions
of "American Notes" and "Martin
Chuzzlewit" should contain a sort
of half apology for his anti-American
utterances. It is significant that "Martin
Chuzzlewit," considered by many
critics the best of all his books, has
been more appreciated in the United
States than in England.
Dickens was a political radical, and
many of his books were written for a
purpose?the purpose of muckraking
some existing evil in England?but
they were too great to be ephemeral,
and. in their direct purpose accomplished
thev lived on to enrich the
literature and delight the souls of
scores of nations and millions of human
beings who never knew a debtor's
prison, who never were involved
in the red tape of the Circumlocution
Office, who never were schooled at
Dotheboy's Hall and who never saw a
Beadle.
Perhaps one may be forgiven for
mentioning for the benefit of the curious
that Dickens was indirectly responsible
for the current slang use of
the number "23." The hero of "The
Tale of Two Cities," vicariously sacrifices
his life at the guillotine of the
French Terror, and as his head falls
into the basket, the ghoulish knitting
women count: "Twenty-three!" When
the play, "The Only Way," was adapted
from this novel a few years ago, this
word "twenty-three" signified the end
of the play and the drop of the curtain.
To the stage hands it meant
that all was over for the time being,
and from the region back of the proscenium
arch, the slang spread over
all the United States.
Whatever the critics have said or
may say, whatever may be the result
iof the controversy over the copyrights,
I whatever may be the result of the sale
of Dickens stamps, whatever literary
men may say tonight at dinners in his
honor, the fact remains that Charles
John Huffam Dickens, horn on the
7th of February, 1812, at 387 Mile End
Terrace, Commercial road, Landport,
Portsea, England, will live forever.
His Immortality will be that of a
great reporter, one who wrote the
things he saw in a world that too seldom
fooks at itself. His faults were
many, perhaps, and obvious. He exaggerates,
his pathos verges on the
ridiculous, he is Insular, he outrages
the probable and cultivates a puzzling
vein of the mystic. But his virtues are
so many and so wide that they cannot
be brought into the compass of any
catalogue. They find their exemplification
in an ever-increasing host of
readers who forgive him his faults and
love him in spite of them, or perhaps,
because of them.?Frederick J. Haskin.

A DANGER0U8 CARGO.
Sailing 8hip Loaded With Indian Wild
Animals.
That wild animals shipped across
the sea sometimes get loose on the
voyage appears from the case of an
English dealer who came over from
India to England with $10,000 worth
of animals aboard a sailing ship.
An Indian badger was loose for two
weeks and a specimen of the sacred
monkey of northern India for nearly
the whole voyage. Where the badger
concealed himself during the day nobody
knew, but the meat and boiled
rice that were put out for it at night
always disappeared before morning.
The monkey lived up in the rigging
comfortably enough, notwithstanding
five feet of chain hanging to its neck.
Food was put out for it every night,
and by day it satisfied its hunger by
catching and eating the potatoes that
the sailors amused themselves by
throwing to it.
A more dangerous experience was
one in which a hyena broke loose on
board a ship going to London from
the Persian gulf. The captain ordered
the shooting of the animal, but when
it came to executing the order the
hyena could not be found.
Naturally everybody on board was
more or less nervous, especially at
night. It was decided to keep the hyena
well fed, and to this end food in
plenty was left in dark corners of the
vessel.
When the ship arrived in dock the
stevedores hearing that a wild animal
was at large upon her, hesitated about
beginning to unload. In this emergency
a telegram was sent to another
dealer in wild beasts, asking him to
send additional men to capture the hyena,
As fate would have it, this dealer
was away, and the telegram lay unopened
until the next day. In the
meantime the stevedores summoned
sufficient courage to begin work, and
soon found and captured the hyena
It was in the hold, and was in
splendid condition. How it came into
its hiding place could never be explained.
Another .unexplained mystery was
the loss of a python. The dealer had
occasion to send nine pythons across
the continent. They are usually sent
by threes in a sack, the sacks being
put in a large box and the lid nailed
down. This time, however, they were
sent loose in a box.
The dealer himself saw nine put in,
but only eight were there at the ehd
of the Journey. The box was perfectly
tight, and the python could not have
gotten out. It was never known what
happened, whether one swallowed another?and
pythons are not known to
do this?or whether the box had been
tampered with. Anyhow, the snake
was gone.

There was a sigh of relief among
the employes of the Half-Dime Savings

Frederick Rgncr, assistant cashier, wa*
surprised when the man walked Intt
the institution today and asked for hit
deposit. The man, who is employed
by a New Jersey newspaper, was a lad
of 12 in 1872 when he deposited a dime
which he hoped would be the nuclew
for a substantial account. Son aftei
he left it with the bank he moved with
his family from the city.
The deposit was recalled to him
and today, while on a business trip
to Orange, the man stODDed at th?
bank. He showed his original recet
and Mr. Egner passed him out a new
piece of silver.
In the forty years the dime has beer

has figured in many balance sheets
and its worth has been consumed many
times over in the ink. paper and tlmr
given it by clerks who had to keej
track of it. In all trial balances thai
stubborn dime had to be reckoned with
and its withdrawal has ended an ode
existence rare in banking annals. Af
