On Saturday, Frank North 'was found guilty of selling “moonshine” and was sentenced to $100 fine or 90 days in jail. He will appeal.

When. the Conpecticut river was ! more navigable than it-is today Dick- ens rode by steamer' from Springfield to Hartford. We are to suppose he got little pleasure from the trip, for in describing the steamer in his Amerl- can Notes, he wrote: “I am’ afraid.fo-tell how many feet short this vessel was, or how many feet marrow. To apply the words length-and width to such measurement would be a contradiction in terms. But I may state that we all kept to the middle of the deck lest the boat should unexpectedly tip over.” But if Dickens was critical of the Republican, the pllot - was no less crit-{ fcal of Dickens. In venting his opinion | ‘of the movelist he characterized him as a ‘“fussy dude who was afraid to step up.on the gangplank for fear it would break, who kept his head out of the window for fear the boat would run against something, and who wor- rled for fear his haggage would: be lost.” ' In fact the pllot declared that he was so disgusted with the novelist that ‘he never would read any of his storles. e Dean;: “My son will sunable“to “attend school to-day, as he has just shaved Wmself for the ' first time-—North- western-Cauldron.- 2 2 The Mark of Affluence In Sweden, we are told, you can judge a man’s wehlth by the hat he wears.
