DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen James Rooney of Newark, who can not read, argued with a traffic cop who stopped him for having no license plate. He exhibited to the policeman a document which he said entitled him to drive his car. It was marked “back seat driver’s license,” and Rooney said he had paid a stranger $3 for it. An Arizona school advertised for a teacher who could “smoke, dance, sing, play the piano, look attractive and enter- tain nicely.” The requirements were filled by a young woman who had been fired from another school for doing those things. Persons in their respective localities needing the services of a mortician may be accommodated by Doom Brothers, Under- takers, New Carlisle, O.,the Laughter Un- dertaking Company, Abeline, Texas, and the Spry Funeral Home of Florence, Ale., with branches in nearby cities. With due solemnity a New Jersey judg¢ issued an injunction restraining a jilted lover from committing suicide on his fair lady’s doorstep. Now if he goes on and does it he wil) be liable for contempt of court. Again the irony of fate is seen in the death of an aviator through asphyxiation ina bathroom. The incident illustrates the fact that when things go right one is safe anywhere, but when they go wrong he is safe nowhere, Bandits in Detroit recently showed determination worthy of a better calling. Attempting to hold up one bank, they were routed by tear gas. released when the cashiér pressed a button. Proceeding to another bank six blocks away, they had better luck, securing $3,000 and making a safe get-away. = Peal Bee ee egy Mrs. Charlotte Shanley of Bridgeport, Conn,, seems to be no longer pleasing to her husband, according to a statement made by her when applying for a divorce, which was granted. She declared that Mr. Shanley begged her.for half an hour to commit suicide, obligingly offering to turn on the gas for her. Grave fenrs are felt for a patient in the National Children’s Hospital in Istan- bul, Turkey, who is suffering from Bright's disease. The patient is not a youngster, | however, but the venerable Zaro Agha, who claims to be 160 years old. The only person allowed to visit him is his 70-year- old grandson. Something new in the way of an alibi was sprung on a London judge by a carpet layer charged with drunkenness, who said: “I can’t help staggering a tittle after spend- ing 30 years on my knees laying carpets.” A ~esident of Cairo, Egypt, is charged with a serious shortage, having been called wpon to account for 60 wives who have disappeared during the last 30 years. Some were divorced, but others are said to have disappeared under mysterious cir- cumstances. -Ensued a veritable Diekens boom. MORE DICKENS DISCLOSURES (Ed Lambright in Tampa Tribune) Readers recently enjoyed a hitherto unpublished work of Charles Dickens which had been kept secret until the death of his last surviving child. Other Dickens documents have now been released, after concealment in the British Museum since 1879. These are letters which reveal the inside story of Dickens’ separation from ‘his wife. Dickens married in 1836, when he was | 2. Sernen: 24. At 46, he and his wife separated. The break was.permanent. He died in 1870, she in 1879. Just before her death, the estranged wife gave Mrs. Perugini, who was Kate Macready Dickens, their daugh- ter, letters written to her by Dickens as lover and husband, with the request that they be made public “at some future date.” Mrs. Perugini placed the letters in the na- tional archives, not to be released until the death.of the last direct descendant, who was Sir Henry Dickens. ‘ The letters show that the separation was not due to any fault of Mrs. Dickens. In fact, they fail to disclose any real reason for the estrangement. gave her. his,full, permission to leave him, THE KEY. WEST, CITIZEN eccvoccccoccoooococcoscocaoeCs Dail: ee any.

The letters probably will be pub- lished, because the great demand for “The Life of Our Lord” indicated the public’s eagerness for anything new by or about Dickens, The 300 newspapers which printed the posthumous Dickens story added a mil- lion to their 10 million circulation thereby. “David Copperfield” and “Oliver Twist” are be- ing made into movies. Leacock’s life of Dickens is having a remarkable revival sale. Sinclair Lewis is revising and cutting “Bleak House” to make it more adaptable to the present reading public, a live mys- tery story instead of a ponderous picture of Victorian life. GUITEAU’S PISTOL After lying forgotten in the files of the Attorney General’s office in Washing- ton for more than 50 years, the pistol with which Charles J. Guiteau assassinated President James A. Garfield in 1881 has been placed among other historical relics in the National Museum. Accompanying the pistel was the confession signed by Guiteau after his com- mission of the crime. This confession, written in a beautiful hand by the mur- derer himself, said in part: : “I think of General Garfield's condi- tion as a removal, and not as an assassi- nation. My idea, simply stated, was to re- move as easily as possible Mr. James A. Garfield, a quiet and good-natured citizen of Ohio, who temporarily occupied the position of President of the United States, and substitute in his place Mr. Chester A. Arthur of New York, a ‘distinguished and highly: estimable gentleman.” ae «. aBpesident Garfield ,was. shot.on Suly 2, 1881, and died on September 19. His assassin, a disappointed office seeker and fanatic, was hanged for his crime the fol- lowing year. CAN A ROOSTER COUNT? Experiments in psychology are being carried on enthusiastically with many kinds of animals as subjects. A, test re- ported from the University of Chicago is quite interesting. Kernels of corn were placed in a row on the floor, with every third kernel] tacked down, and a rooster was permitted to help himself. Failing te lift a fastened kernel, he would pass on and eat the next. The missing kernels were replaced and the next time he made no attempt to devour the stationary kernels. Then the third kernels were loosened, but he still passed them by until his foot struck one and meved it; then he went back and ate them all. Some who witnessed the experiment believe that it proved the reaster’s ability to count, while others were skeptical. Pos- sibly he was an semenst TAN, a0 had bees f influenced by his university environment. We don't vouch for this story, but if you doubt it try the experiment on your own rooster. to- + Jacksonville to Florida Straits: jGentle to moderate shifting winds jPecoming northerly and mostly overcast weather, probably occa- ‘sional showers, tonight and Wed- rnesday. {, East Gulf: Gentle shifting winds ‘becoming northerly.
