(Charles Dickens, 1812-1870. s ‘f:kn;fn_l: | Mr. Pickwick's body with the thick British _novelist. author of Pi Papers.” “David Copperfield,” “A Tale of Two Cities,” ete.) Mr. Pickwick was particularly desirous to go along on the hunt and view the sport, the more especially as he was rather anxious in respect of Mr. Winkle's life and limbs, doubting that worthy's ty to handle a gun with safety. Mr. Pickwick, however, did not shoot, and besides, this particular morning he was too lame to walk far. “There's a barrow t'other side the hedge,” said the boy. “If the gentle- man’s servant would wheel along the paths, he could keep nigh us, and could lift it over the stiles, and tha “The wery thing,” said Mr. Weller, ‘who was a party interested, inasmuch as he ardently longed to see the sport along with his master. he wery thing. Well said, Smalicheek; I'll have it out in a minute.” But here a difficulty arose. The game- keeper resolutely protested against the introduction into a shooting party of a gentleman in a barrow, as a gross viols of all established rules and precedents, It was a great objection, but not an insurmontable one. The mekeeper having been coaxed and tipped, and having, moreover, eased his mind by punching the head of the inventive youth who had first suggested the use of the machine, Mr. Pickwick was placed in it. and off the party set; Wardle and the gamekeeper leading the way, and Mr. Pickwick in the barrow, pro- pelled by Sam. bringing up the rear. Came lunchtime, and they picked a green knoll where it would be cool and shady. There were many good things to eat, including a jar of beer and a jar of cold punch. It needed no sec- ond invitation to induce the party to yleld full justice to the meal; and as little to the beverages “Come,” said Mr. Warwe to Mr. Pick- wick.,” have a glass of punch!” ‘With great pleasure,” said Mr. Pick- wick; the satisfaction of whose face, after drinking it, bore testimony to the sincerity of his reply. “Good,” said Mr. Pickwick, smacking his lips. “Very good. I'll take another. Cool; very cool. Come, gentlemen,” con- nued Mr. Pickwick, still retaining his hold upon the jar, “a toast. Our Iriends at Dingley Dell.” The toast was drunk with loud ac- clamations. “Well, that certainly is most capital cold punch,” said Mr. Pickwick, look- ing earnestly at the stone bottl the day is extremely 3 ‘Tupman, my dear friend, a gl punch?” “With the greatest delight,” replied Mr. Tupman, and having drunk that lass, Mr. Pickwick took another just to see whether there was any orange peel in the punch, because orange peel always disagreed with him; and find- ing that there was not, Mr. Pickwick took another glass to the health of their absent friend, and then felt him- self imperatively called upon to propose another in honor of the punch com- pounder, unknown. This constant succession of glasses produced considerable effect upon Mr. Pickwick; his countenance beamed with the most sunny smiles, laughter played ( around his lips and good-humored mer- riment twinkled in his eye. Yielding to the influence of the exciting liquid, rendered more so by the heat, Mr. Pickwick expressed a strong desire to recollect a song which he had heard in his infancy, and the attempt prov- ing abortive, sought to stimulate his emory with more glasses of punch, vhich appeared to have quite a con- rary effect; for, from forgetting the vords of the song, he began to forget ow to articulate any words at all; and finally, after rising to his legs to ad- dress the company in an eloguent peech, he fell into the wheelbarrow, pnd fast asleep, simultaneous!y. It being found perfectly impossible o awaken Mr. Pickwick from his tupor, some discussion took place whether it would be better for Mr. Weller to wheel his master back again, r to leave him where he was, until they hould all be ready to return. The lat- er course was at length decided on. away they went, leaving Mr. Pick- vick snoring most comfortably in the hade. 5 Now this wheelbarrow with Mr. Pick- vick in it was on property belonging to ne Capt. Boldwig. Capt. Boldwig was little fierce man in a stiff bk eckerchief, who, when he did n- fescend to walk about his preperty, did in company with a thick rattan and gardener and subgardener with meek aces, to whom Capi with all due grandeur and half an hour when little Capt.

Boldyig. No reply. “What did he say his name was?” asked the captain. “Punch, I think, sir,” was the reply. “That's his impudence,” said the captain. “He's only feigning to be asleep now. He's drunk. Wheel him aw Wilkins, wheel him away directly.” ‘Where shall I wheel him to, sir?’ “Wheel him to the devil,” said Capt. Boldwig. “Very well, sir,” said Wilkins. “Stay,” said the captain. “Wheel him to the pound and let us see whether he calls himself Punch when he comes to himself among the police.” Inexpressible was the astonishment of the little party when they returned to find that Mr. Pickwick had disap- peared and taken the wheelbarrow with him. They searched every nook and corner; they shouted, whistled, laughed, called—and all with the same result. Mr. Pickwick was not to be found. Meanwhile Mr. Pickwick had been wheeled to the pound and safely de- posited therein, fast asleep in the wheel- barrow, to the immeasurable delight and satisfaction, not only of all the boys in the village, but three-fourths of the whole population, who had gathered round in expectation of his waking. If their most intense gratification had been excited by seeing him wheeled in, how many hundredfold was their joy increased when, after a few indistinct cries of “Sam!” he sat up in the barrow and gazed with indescribable astonish- ment about him. A general shout was the signal of his i and his involuntary inquiry of “What's the matter?” occasioned an- other, louder than the first, if possible. “Where am I? How.came I ? What was I doing? Where was I brought from?” Mr. Pickwick learned the details gradually. He was teased with a turnip, then a potato, then an egg—tossed at him. But a carriage suddenly pulled up and out got the friends of Mr. Pick- wick. They had found him at last, and they proceeded to rescue him from his ignominy. Mr. Pickwick was for bring- ing action against that Capt. Boldwig, but his friends argued against it. “They might turn round on some of us and say we had taken too much cold punch.” Do what he would, a smile would extended into a laugh, the laugh into a roar, the roar became general. So, ped at the first roadside inn they came |to and ordered a glass of brandy and water all round. MENU FOR A D BREAKFAST. Stewed Prunes Dry Cereal with Cream French Toast. Bacon Curls LUNCHEON.

FEATURES.” —BY JOHN CASSEL NANCY PAGE Millers Celebrate Their First “at Home.” BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘This was the first New Year day that Lois and Roger were celebrating in their own home. They asked Nancy whether she would mind if they followed the English Page custom of having open house for their friends. “No, indeed, you send all your guests over to us aft- erward and we will send all of our callers over to see you. If we do that, though, we had better serve light re- freshments at both places.” This was agreed upon. Lois felt very much the hostess as she poured tea from her new silver teapot. She had tea with thin slices of lemon and half a slice of orange, homemade grape juice, small slices of fruit cake and tiny, iced cup cakes. To make the cup cakes she had used 4 cupful butter, 1 cupful sugar, 2 eggs, 15 cupful milk, 11> cupfuls pastry flour, 14 teaspoonful salt, 2 teaspoonfuls bak- ing powder. She creamed butter, added sugar, then egg yolks, and the milk and dry ingredients alternately. Then she foided in beaten egg whites. She took part of mixture and added pink color- ing to it. To another part she added 1 tabltspoonful melted chocolate, and to the third part she added grated orange rind and a bit of yellow coloring. The frosting was a fluffy white one which made a pleasing contrast with the pink, brown and yellow cakes. They were tiny little things, not more than two mouthfuls. When she baked them she used the muffin tins which are about an inch in diameter.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. ‘When Angry. Text: “Be ye angry, and sin mnot: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.”—Eph. 1v:26. ‘The Weymouth translation of the text is, “If angry, beware of sinning.” An- other translation is, “When angry, do not sin.” Not all anger is sinful. such a thing as righteous anger. In Exodus xi:18, we read of Moses: “And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.” And this was justifiable anger on the part of Moses. He had cause to be angry over Pharaoh’s stubbornness in refusing to grant the just plea he was making in behalf of his brethren, the children of Isracl. There are many occasions when anger is justifiable. Anger becomes evil when we allow it to run away with us, when we become resentful and revengeful. It is this that the text warns us against. We may often have just cause to be angry, but when angry, we must keep ourselves under control, lest our anger drive us to do some foolish thing. And then we must not allow our anger to be long lived. “Let not the sun_go down upon your wrath,” says Paul. In the go-along of a day we may get into many conflicts that irritate and anger us. If these experiences ¢an- not be avoided, we should at least not carry the effects of them over into the next day. Let all these upsetting and enraging conflicts that we get into from day to day be forgotten with the setting of each day's sun. At best, anger is always a dangerous passion. If allowed to linger, if not curbed and held in check, it is liable to get us into serious difficulties from which we cannot easily recover and which may cause us bitter regrets. (Copyright, 1928.)

Some time ago I raised the question whether, anc how far, people were hon- est and what part honesty played in mental fitness. I reached the conclu- sion that you really can't be complete- ly fit (perhaps not very fit at all) un- less you are by nature or training, or both, fundamentally honest—honest in your dealings with others, honest in deal- ing with yourself. The conclusion I found well approved in those whd have written to me about it; but my depres- sing admission that a large majority or large minority of people is not honest enough to make it safe to run the world on the supposition that all are honest was put down by some corre- spondents as too pessimistic. I should be glad to withdraw the statement if I could find sufficient reason for doing so. We recall the slogan of the war: “To Make the World Safe for Democracy.” Well, the world has similarly to be made safe for honesty. As I leave my residence in New York City I pass at the first corner a man in armor; it's true that his gun is concealed under his overcoat, where it plainly bulges. He stands day and night at the entrance to one of the re- ceiving stations of the express com- pany. That revolver is Exhibit A of the war of steel against steal. As I pass along the avenues or the side streets the windows of the basements and ground floor are heavily barred; more steel against steal. They are heaviest in the casements of banks and trust companies showing how little we trust our neighbors. A moment later I meet an armored car, a vehicle of steel closely barred and guarded, conveying money to the bank, the very picture of the story of steel against steal. I am on my way to the bank and there I descend to the massive vaults of steel, with that mar- velous machinery of time clocks and quadruple protection to make the word “safe” really secure. This is the majestic climax, the triumph of in- vention of steel against steal. In an honest world I should be able to keep the small amounts of goods I own in a stocking back of the chimney or in a bureau drawer; but I can’t. In fact, T have a little portable steel box of my own. I wish it all could be junked and doors and windows left open and unbarred, and have honesty MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS.

Give house plants a little liquid plant food during the Winter, Soil grows poor in the house and needs to be enriched. so democratic that steel would go out of business so far as locks and bars and bolts and chests and vaults and ar- mored cars and firearms were con- cerned. The war of steel against steal, though the most conspicuous evidence of the lack of honesty, is not the most signifi- cant part of the story so far as psy- chology goes. I could easily become reconciled to the constant warfare of steel against steal and lock my doors and extra padlock my gecurities against the small number of housebreakers and lawbreak- ers, but what prevents honesty from being a taken-for-granted democratic virtue is the constant small dishonesty against which no steel will protect you or me. It's a psychological fault or a disease, and there is only a psychologi- cal remedy. You must make people honest by nature, not by bolts and bars, it they are to be really honest and n;tke honesty a safe policy for the rest of us. In its way a great invention in fur- therance of honesty is the taximeter. It removes at a stroke the temptation of thousands of men to overcharge you. In the old days of cabs, especially abroad, an honest cab driver was as rare as a pious horse trader. Over- charging is the greatest temptation to dishonesty, and it has more varieties than could be enumerated in several ar- ticles. As cheating it isn't as bad as bribing, but it's all one family. Overcharging for time, for labor, for services rendered but badly rendered, for goods, is the prevailing form of dis- honesty, despite the fact that the Amer- ican people have done more to redeem trade than any other industrial nation. The one-price, plainly marked tag is an American idea; no bargaining, no favors. No device, however, will have any permanent effect that leaves the desire to overcharge and make exor- bitant profits. When a man charges yot or me $2 for what should be a $1 service or article, the first dollar is an honest one, but as td' the second there is room for doubt. The policy of charging what the traf- fic will bear as against the policy of a fair profit and a square deal is a contrast in standards of honesty. The world won't be honest when everything valuable is inclosed behind steel, but it will be honest when everybody has put the temptation to steal behind him. (Coryright, 1929.) vour hair dry.

Each hand or deal is divided into two rts, namely, the auction and the play. ‘he auction, so-called because each side tries to buy the contract by outbidding the other, each player trying to tell his artner by his bid what cards or suits ge holds in his hand and so help him in his succeeding bid. One must realize that auction bridge is a partnership ame. I cannot stress this too strongly. Y(, is you and your partner working to- ether that counts, there is no place in Bridge for solo work. Every bid or pass should tell your partner something. It is the only way you have to show him your hand, or in bridge terms to “mirror” your ‘hand. This is done by a highly conventionalized system of bidding and doubling. The skilled declarer has the two fol- lowing objects in view during the auc- tion: First, to secure the contract if they have the necessary cards, and, if there are two or more contracts pos- sible, to choose the one which will be the most profitable. Second, if they have not strength enough to secure the contract to make their opponents bid 80 high that they will not be able to make their contract. To play bridge well enough to be a desirable partner it is not only neces- sary to know the laws, but it is equally necessary to know the etiquette of the game as well. The ideai game is one in which no one speaks or plays out of turn. You will do well to remember that you may discuss the affairs of the Nation while the cards are being dealt, but as soon as the car re picked up this kind of conversation must cease, and only conversation about bridge and in bridge terms is necessary from then until the last card is played and the score written. Of course, if every game was an ideal game we would not need penalty laws, but as such is not the case it seems per- tinent to give here the laws on bidding. An insufficient bid (in other words, a bid not as high as the lact previous bid) may be corrected by the bidder if he do s0 before another player calls his at- tention to it or before another player bids. In the case of a suit bid it must be made sufficient in that suit and in no trump must be made sufficlent in that declaration. If another player call attention to the insufficient bid it must be made sufficient, and the penalty for this is that the partner of the insuffi- clent bidder is barred from further par- ticipation in the auction. ‘To bid out of turn is void unless the opponent on the left of the offender bids before the in-turn bidder declares or before any player calls attention to the void bid. The penalty for bidding or doubling out of turn is that the part- ner of the out-of-turn bidder is barred from taking part in the auction. In both of these cases you will note that it is the partner of the offender who has to suffer, but in passing out of turn the offender himself is not allowed to bid or double until the first bid has \been overbid or doubled. If a bid, double or redouble, be made by an adversary after the auction has ended, declarer may call a lead from the partner of the offender the first :l.mde it is the turn of said partner to lead. A double or redouble is void and either opponent of the person making such a double or redouble may do one of two things, namely, demand a new deal or add 100 to their honor score. The penalty for doubling your part- ner's bid or redoubling partner's double is that 50 points may be added to the honor score of the opposing side. ‘To double or redouble when it is your Fnrtner‘s turn to bid carries the follow- ing penalties: First, you may call the bid made before the offense the final bid; second, you may call the doubled or redoubled bid the final bid; third, you may demand a new deal. Never let any one tell you that these penalties are not enforced, for I can as- sure you that all people playing real bride, as well as the most prominent bridge clubs in this country, are most c-fitul in seeing that every penalty is paid. In the majority of deals that are not passed out the first bid is made either by dealer or by second hand after dealer has passed. In a small percentage of deals after dealer and second hand pass the third hand bids and in a still smaller percentage after three passes the fourth hand opens the bidding. WHO REMEMBERS?

P A few years ago a small city. eight hours from Washington, anticipated trouble. The authorities looked about for men of stout souls and strong arms to quell the expected disturbance, They therefore deputized a half dozen of the most likely looking material, pinned badges on them and turned them loose in the city streets. One of the “pinch-hitting” deputies was a young fellow not particularly | famed for his courage. Many doubted the wisdom of engaging him. As a child he was usually the target for the other kids in the neighborhood, and was a common sight scampering home to escape the rough attentions of the others. Shortly after he became 21 he taok to himseif a wife. Then he lost his job in & local factory. As a temporary officer he would receive enough to pro- vide ham and eggs for the family even though he had no singular yen to ar- rest anybody. Somehow he con- trived to finda cas*- oft uniform with elegant white stripes down the trousers. There were also some fancy gewgaws around the sleeves and collar. The 7 outfit would have been excellent for masquerade pur- poses. However, he felt he resembled the chief of staff of the Army, and, smug in this con- ceit, set out on a tour of duty. In front of a store at the most important intersection in town he came upon a gang of worthies who made divers and sundry remarks about the uniform and the person it sheltered. A few seconds later passers-by were treated to a free- for-all combat such as had not been HE HAD THEM BY THE. the young officer was seen to have two of his foes by the nape of the neck and booting them along toward the cooler. His uniform was ripped and torn and several hideous abrasions marked him, but he held on to his quarry with relentless fingers. This was the boy who used to dash away from danger. It is strange what an effect a uniform sometimes has. * kK X A local attorney says that the follow- ing story is supposed to be true. Dur- ing a case in court a Western lawyer burst out with these words, “Sir, we're enough for you, the hull of you. Me and my client can never be intimidated or tyrannized over; mark that. And just as sure as this court decides against us we'll file a writ of progander and we—-" At this point he was interrupted by opposing counsel, who inquired what he meant by a writ of progander. “Mean?" shouted the other. “"{h sir. a writ of progander is a-a-a-it's a well, I don't just remember the exact word, but its what'll knock thunder out of this one-horse court, anyways. .z e Another member of the legal frater- nity tells the following yarn about an eminent lawyer who received a fast wcome-back” from a witness he was interrogating. The issue was impor- tant and in order to save his case it was necessary that he should impeach the witness. This he tried to ac- complish on the ground of age. Lawyer—How old are you?
