in the announcement. it was said yes-

Haven during the season now closing
was 1.390.000 bushels. The H. C.

100.000 bushels or these.

bute to Dickens than did Kate Field.

of her brilliant brothers. David Duds

certain was as geod it not a better
Judge of character.
She Once wrote an appreciation of
Dickens in which she declared the
world lost its greatest actor when Dos
became a writer. she gave a descrip-
tion or one of the Dickens readings in
New York that was masterly in its
vlvldness of detail. Such versatility
as she credited Dickens with display-
