lilly.

TILLY was an old rag doll and be-
fore Christmas she was the dar-
II ling of her little mothers heart
but new French doll had been
gwen to her little mother at Christmas
and poor lilly was forgotten in the cor
ner of the playroom, and, 1 am sorry
10 say, she was standing on her head
Illly did not complain at first, for she
n9ad been cast aside before. but her
nttte mother had come for her after
a while and loved her more than ever
But this morning I1lly was in despair
Tor she had suddenly remembered that
~ was over a month since her little
mother odit had held her in her arms, :
on, DEAR she sighed. IF only
could beiput upright SOL could see what
Is soing on 1 could bear this 'deseruon
better"
y, ~ /, am an nets not so sure about that" re,
would be more unhappy if you could
see what / do"
"oh! tell me-" walled poor lilly,
whatever is happening. Is my little
mother through with dolls?" -.
NO" replied Teddy Bear but she
is devoted to the new French doll, who
has complete set of clothes, and she
undresses her every night and dresses
her in the morning and takes her out in
for the new doll, too" said Teddy
Bear. land she has tea for her.
r1 m0h' dear. Oh dear" sighed poor or
this time. How unhappy I am"
1--WE can console each other" said
Teddy Bear; "she never takes me out
now, and l used to go in the auto with
the family. but that was long ago"
yes, 7 remember said Tilly, II was
put aside for you, but my little mother
took me to her heart again; but this
time / am afraid she will not come for
me-" The next day the maid cleaned the
playrOOm and Tilly was pulled out of
the corner by her feet and sat on the
floor.
"Helo. lilly doll" said the maid,
you are forgotten these days, aren't
out" "''' H." N' '' ''0 '
Poor TiIIy's heart sank Mt these
wprds, but she din not reply that is. In
language the maid could understand;
but Teddy Bear heard her say oh!
sad is my lot; I am only rag doll.
One day not long after Tilly's little
mother gave a party to three of her
little friends who had new dolls at
Christmas. lilly and Teddy Bear
stretched their neClts to sec what was
op the table, and their mouths water
ed when they beheld the feast that
was prepared.
AT one end of the table sat the new
DOLL dressed in blue silk: on the table
in front of her was a teapot and cups
and sauCers, and on dishes they could
see tiny pink ard white candies and
lhtIc sandwiches and the dearest little
cakes that lilly knew the cook had
made. There WAS vase of little pink
flowers also, and then Tiily knew what
was happening.
''They are having a pink tea" whis-
pered Tilly.
81 wish they would give us some of
the nuts said Teddy Bear but l do
not suppose they will think Of us over
here in the corner"

 WHICH KILLED MAN.
Both Local Bremen Are Getting Daily Experience at Hartford - Auto Chemical Next Week.

David Fitzgerald and Henry Taft, the two members of the Norwich fire department who are in Hartford now to become familiar with the opera ton of auto chemical fire apparatus, had the unpleasant experience on Thurs day evening of being on the auto chemical in Hartford when it struck and killed a man. The chemical was in charge of the regular driver and was answering fire call when the ac- cident occurred. According to the ac- counts it was travelling at a moderate rate of speed, but the man became confused and lodged around in front of it until he was hit
 MT. Taft came here Friday on a test car from the Pope Hartford factory, and MT. Fitzgerald made the same sort of a trip to New Haven and re- turn. They are both spending the day time now at the factory. where they are instructed on the mechanism and running of the cars. while at night they are assigned to the auto chemical fire station and have been out on sev- eral runs.
 Chief Stanton has learned that the auto chemical for the Norwich depart ment is likely to arrive here Monday or Tuesday. Some alterations neces- sary to be made at the last moment have delayed its coming beyond the time first expected.
