First, those that are easy to read and hard to remember: the well-told tales of no consequence, tho cream-puffs of perishable fiction. Second, those that are hard to read and hard to remember: the purpose-novels which are tedious sermons In disguise, and the love-tales In which there Is no one with whom It Is possible to fall In love.

Third, those that aro hard to read and easy to remember: the books with a crust of perverse stylo or faulty, construction through which the reader must break In order to get at tho rich and vital meaning. Fourth, those that are easy to read and. easy to remember: the novels In which stories worth telling are well told, and characters worth observing are vividly painted, and life Is Interpreted to the Imagination In enduring forms of literary art. These are tho best sellers which do not go out of print everybody's books. In this fourth class healthy-minded peoplo and unprejudiced critics put the novels of Charles Dickens.

For millions of readers thoy have fulfilled what Dr. Johnson called, tho purpose of good books, to teach us to enjoy life or help us endure It. They have awakened multitudinous laughter and drawn forth Innumerable sympathetic tears. They have enlarged and enriched existence by revealing the bidden veins of humor and pathos beneath the surface of the everyday world, and by giving "tho freedom of the city" to those poor prisoners who had thought of It only as the dwelling place of so many hundred thousand Inhabitants and no real persons. What a city It was that Dickens opened to us! London, of course.

In outward form and semblance, tho London of the early Victorian epoch. From "The Good Enchantment of Charles Dickens," by Henry Van Dyke, In tho Juno Scrlb-ner. Delaware Is the lowest state In the Union, Us elevation above sea level averaging only CO feet. Colorado Is tho highest, averaging 6800 feet In elevation, while Wyoming Is a close second, with an average elevation of 6700 feet.
