"Old Curiosity Shop" Saved From Destruction. Anxiety as to the fate of the little two-story antique shop in Lincoln's Inn Fields which Is better known .is the "Old Curiosity Shop," died down when the place was bought recently by J. A. Phillips, the London real es- tate agent, who has announced the in- tention of keeping it Just as it Ig and not pulling It down In order to erect a modern building, wnhlch It has been feared would happen. As a matter of fact, there IB con- siderable doubt as to whether this is really the place that was ImmortallEed by Dickens in his- novel, the only thing being known to a degree of certainty being that the building Dickens wrote about was an old one, and that It was somewhere In London within walking distance of Covent Garden. "Old Curiosity Shop" certainly is old, but skeptics maintain that in the days of Dickens it was not an antique ghop. but the house of a sign painter. Fifty years ago It was occupied by a person called Tesseyman, who sold old pictures and old china, and he it was who had a passing painter put the ants of" or "followers of," the com- "Frlthestan."

Calling him aside, she told him she had onily one dozen oyters, and that when his friend had eaten his quota of four he must not be asked to take any more. In spite of his promise to remember, when the guest had eaten his four oysters, the host pressed him to take more. The wife looked distressed, and the friend declined. The husband insisted, the wife looked on In agony, and the guest refused flrmly to have the rest of the oysters brought from the kitchen. Later, the wife said to her husband, "How could you urge -him to have more oysters when I had explained to you that there weren't any?" "I'm sorry," said the penitent hus- band, "but I forgot about it." "Forgot! What do you suppose I ! was kicking you under the table for?" ' retorted his wife. ! "But you didn't kick me," said the husband. MONEY ORDERS. When ordering goods by mall send Dominion Express Money Order. Classified Advertisements CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

There's a happy boy a-sledding on the hills I lined to climb When the wizard hand of winter made a path of snow and rime; I can hear his shout of joyanco, I can see him flashing by To a dim goal in the distance, and that happy boy Is I. There's a happy boy a-dreaming, though that boy has grown up now, And though Time has touched his tem- ples and there's gray about his brow. Of the treasures and the pleasures of the days that cannot die Till the lights of Memory darken, and that happy boy Is I. Clinton Scollard. OLD CHUN TneTobaccocf Quality An Easier Name. Two little boys met on the street. "What's that you got in your button- hole?" asked one. "Why, that's a chrysanthemum." the olher replied. "It looks like a rose to me," said the other.

"K-R-I-3. . . . that is a rose!" ejaculated the first boy, as he took another look at the flower on his coat.
