Titles Depend on Script.
Many of the titles of today in
the Rockaways and adjacent prop

The case on trial is that of the

the city of New York, in which
efforts are being made to estab

The city claims ownership, not

Plea for Statues of
Creations of Authors
The citizens of Aucfc, the ancient
capital of Gascony, have decided
to erect a statue to D’Artagnan,
hero of Alexandre Dumas’ “The
Three Musketeers” and “Twenty
Years After.”
In reality, of course, it is much
more than a statue to D’Artagnan.

until Dutnas called him ^nto being.
It is more than n statue to Charles
de Baatz Castlemore. who®was the original
of Dumas’ hero, born far
from Auch. It is really a statue
to Dumas and the human imagina
tion.
Everything that has made D’Ar
lagnnn memorable and interna
tional came from a great maker of
romances—D’Artagnan is one of
the many creations of poets and
writers that have become more real
than real men.
It Is always a fine thing to see
recognition of such, the New York
Sun comments. There might even
be more statues to great charac
ters of literature and fewer statues
to little characters of “real” life.
While there is no harm In remem

Refused to “Fall” for
Bishop’8 Second Scheme
A western minister tells a story,
according to the Kansas City Star,
showing how a bishop, accosted in
n Chicago street by a neat hut
hungry stranger, derived profit
from the encounter.
Now the bishop took a fancy to
the needy one, took him to a hotel
and shared a good dinner with him.
Yet having left his episcopal wal
let In the pocket of a different
episcopal Jacket, he suddenly fuced
the embarrassment of not having
the wherewithal to pay for the
dinner.
“Never mind, M exclaimed the
guest. “I have enjoyed dining with
you, and I shall be charmed to pay
the price. Allow me.”
And the stranger paid for the
two. This worried the prelate, who
Insisted:
“Just let me call a taxi and
we’ll run up to my place, where I
shall have the pleasure of reimburs

suggestion with:
