to sit with tho council of the Dickens
Fellowship and partake of the famed
dish of sauerkraut nt the honorable
judge's house tomorrow night.
And how the thought of the nnclent
cabbage has thrilled their hungry souls.
From out of (heir covers tlicy have come
to rehearse their parts at the feast.
"Don't be afraid of It," Bnrnaby
Rtidge will say as he offers u bit of
the delectable dish to Grip, his sole
companion. "You don't taste anything
like thnt often, eh?"
"Often I" will be the cry of the
raven as it sniffs Its pleusure. "Never!"
And Mr. Squeers will rub his thrifty
hands and ejaculate: "Here's rich
ness! Think of the many beggars nnd
orphans in the streets thnt would be
glad of this. A shocking thing hunger
is, isn't it, Master Nlckleby?"
"Very shocking, sir," Nicholas will
reply with duo deference.
And members of the council will look
on as their guests control their ioy and
ladleful after ladleful of the fragrant
dish will be dispensed by the august
judge.
It'll be a great day for Oliver Twist.

Soldier's Widow Says French
Cemeteries Are Proper
Places for Heroes
Although her husband was killed in
France within a jear after their wed
ding day, Mrs. Dorothy Krlebel, of
,1-118 Boycr street, Mount Airy, widow
of Lieutenant Thomns Kdwln Krlebel,
Is opposed to tho bringing back of the
bodies of American soldiers who fell
In tho fighting abroad,
Mrs. Krlebel thinks Hint the dead
soldiers should be left undisturbed in
their present resting places.
"If relatives of those who fell knew
how beautiful are the cemeteries In
France," said Mvr. Krlebel toda,
"they would not wish to have the bodies
removed."
Mrs. Krlebel Was strengthened in her
belief that the tlcud soldiers should re
main In France by n letter she received
from her cousin, Mrs. Edna Peters, of
New York, who Is doing Bed Cross wovk
in France.
After telling of going to the cemetery
nt Bomagnc, where American soldiers
