WIT SAVES
 PUPPY ON ICE FLOE
Sends Her Pet Dog Across Impro- vised Plank Bridge to Rescue
 MarOoned Terrier.

Hartford. Jan 25-while a crowd of several hundred men and women lin ed the banks of the Park River of- fering futile suggestions for three hours yesterday afternoon as to how to rescue a poor little ki-yi-ing puppy that had become marooned on an ice floe, the water had frozen on his hair and he yelped piteously as he ran shifting at the open water on all sides of his ice island.
 Humane Society agents were at tracted by the crowd and got a long plank with which to bridge the water to the shore. The puppy started over it. only to fall into the water, from which he scrambled back onto the ice floe.
 Then a women solved the problem. She ordered the men to strap two blanks together and sent her own pet dog across the blanks to fetch a stick which she threw onto the foe. After she had repeated this twice the lonely terrior understood and cautiously fol- lowed the other dog to shore and safe ty.

TENDERNESS TO THE OLD.

Nothing is more beautiful or Christ like in the character of the young than a kind and gem Ie regard for the old. They whose falling steps are slow.y descending the sunless slope of age, have Int one consolation as the years speed by them, and that is the ten derness and considerati ton of those whose lives the beauties of the morn ing are breaking.
 Age is a season of physical infirmi+y, of mental retrospection, of shattered dreams and earthly disappointments. No more for the old is there a glamo or in the rolling stars, no more fresh ness in the spring, no more a triumph in the years. The thousand melod es of tbe present sound far off to their aged ears and it's charms are b urred in the ears and the eyes whose tears fall on the graves of old affections.
 Treat them gently, for by the'r tra- vat and their sacrifice are ye the pos sessors not only of existence in the world in whose splendors ye exul+, but also for the prosperity and happiness ye thoughtlessly enjoy. Never m nd if she and he be old and, feeble and of bumb'e Farb-they look to you in their helrIess years to aid with gen tie courtesy their tottering s'eps, God s blessing will reward you if you do.

AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION Expulsion of Patriarch of Lisbon from
 His Diocese for Two Years

Rome, Jan. 25-It was today learned on high Vatican authority that Pope Plus is feeling greatly embarrassed by placed by the expulsion from his dio- cese for two years by the Portuguese authorities of the Patriarch of Lis the recent consiStory the Pope creat- ed the Patriarch of Lisbon a cardinal .'in pectore'' which signifies that the name of the new cardinal is being withheld until an opportune moment for announcing it.
 In the case of the Patriarch of Lis bon, the elevation to the Sacred Col lege was made because in the concor- dat between Portugal and the Holy See, which Portugal has failed to keep the arcshbishop of Lisbon was always to be a cardinal. To show his own desire therefore to live up to the con- cordat, the Pope created the Patri- arch a cardinal .'in pectore'' hoping his part would improve conditions to such an extent in Portugal that it would soon be possible to announce the elevation
 ing the Patriarch of Lisbon from his diocese for two years followed, and this makes it most uncertain as to when the Pope will be able to an nounce the Patriarch's elevation to the Sacred College. The situa tion is also further implicated by the fact that it is positively known in Rome, that the Patriarch has already been apprised that it was his name which the Pope was holding in his breast
 It is generally believed. however. that Pope Plus will select one of his hest diplomats as Nuncio to Portugal ar@ eA07 h'ro +o T.ishon in the hope

Oh, he could fix himself guess, and would, too, as a rule, But don't want my Pa exposed to public ridicu!e By buttoning his collars wrong, with necktie upside down:- The news of Pas absurdity would reach all over town! And so. on every Monday morn, when other work is through, And Ma and I are tired out, we know there's yet to do A complicated series of trotting up the stair

If putting on his coat and vest were all there was to do, Then Pa would be a lucky man, cause then he'd soon be through: The hardest part of the whole show is finally to come, For when Pa brings his collar out, then things begin to hum. Of course, his collar aIW avs is about a size too small, And if he'd do it all himself, 'twould not go on at all; But I Fave long seemed to possess some fine hypnotic power, For can get his collar on in less than half an houri With collar on, and necktie, too, tell you Pa looks swell: Oh, pshaw-the razor made a sash that shows off none too welli But then a few allow ances we a-ways must concede, And notwithstanding that rude gash, Pa surely takes the lead His hat and cane we've vet to add, Ma finds them in the hall: little brushing of his coat, and then -I guess that's all We watch him till he c ears the steps and opens the front gate, And then Ma turrs to me and says, ''I'n bet you Pa II be late!''

SHE FINDS HERSELF.

Sometimes it does a girl good to get away from home just to find out where she really belongs. With father and mother who love her. faults and all, and an admiring big brother who wou consider if a form of disloyalty to admit that she could be improved upon, she very often gets an idea of herself that Is long way from truth. To be thrown among strang- CTS and to have to earn her liking Try being likable, is very good discipline for the girl who ge+s the idea that anything she does is the right thing, no matter what it would appear in someone else

Opposition to and Advocacy Thereof
 By Physicians

London, Jan. 25-Dr. Thomas J. Nc Namara, who is as well known as a physician as he is as parliamentary secretary to the Admiralty and a member of Parliament, has taken 8 fall out of the profession he adorns by declaring for the national indus trial, insurance law which more than berS of the British Medical associa- ton, have formally condemned, naive Iy explaining that sick benefits under the insurance scheme will hurt their business.
 The doctors opposing the scheme have pledged themselves to refuse service under the insurance bill and they have been so loud in their de- nunciation of the measure that physi- part been afraid to lift their voices. Dr. McNamara, in a statement to. the profession says: ''The tax upon indus try will, I believe, be more than com pensated for by the increased eff ciency of the workmen, as has been the general experience in Germany, and the scheme will not mean more unemployment, for one of the main causes of unemployment is inefficien- trea tment. The scheme will lift a load of worry from many an anxious brow. It is my firm conviction that Is or 20 years hence thanks to na- tionaI insurance. consumption will be as rare as smallpox is today

ENCOURAGEMENT.
Many Have Failed for Want of a
 Cheering Word.

Here Is a little tale with a moral. Read it and ponder:
 Tom was an ath etc and won most of the races and other contests of strength. Through various V Winsome traits he found his way to the heart of his teacher and she was always in terested in his success.
 One day arrangements we mace for a foot race. Several boys were to run, although everybody was sure that Tom would Win.
 The preliminaries were settled, the race started, and the boys were off over the course Tom led clear and free for about half the distance, then to the surprise of everyone, Johnny Ee- gan to gain on him. Tom was just behind Johnny and running vigorously. Toms feet seemed to grow heavy, and Johnny steadily decreased the distance past Tom and, with a sudden spurt, gained the goa fully five yards in ad- vance. Jim vas close beh nd, and he too, sped over the line a little ahead of Tom, but enough to give him sec ond place and to leave Tom out of the race.
 why, Tom, what was the matter? ?'' asked the teacher as the defeated boy came toward her with tears streaming down his face.
 HIS only answer was a sob.
 ''TeIl me what happened, Tom.'
 Tom dug his knuckles into his eyes to dry his tears and tried to tell his story
 'I started all right, you know"
 "Yes, you led them all."
 But when I got half way there the boys began to bawl: Go it, Johnny, you re second. Hustle, Jim, you're gaining Run, Johnny, run; you're most up to him!' But nobody said: GO it, Tom and somehow it got into my legs and they wouldn't go,'' and Tom dropping to the ground in a heap, cried as though bis heart would break
 Many have failed in life because there was no one to say, ''Go it, Tom!"
