This Complex
Existence

Kendall tiptoed to the bottom of the
stairs and called ''Mother!" in a voice
which to the uninitiated might have
indicated that he was one of those
gentle, retiring children known gem
orally as not daring, to speak above
a whisper.
Inere was no answer So, mutter-
Ing to himself, We'll, ! guess she
atn't at home, or l guess she said she
was going downtown today" he made
very subdued, genteel exit
But Kendall had reckoned without
his host. Before he had reached the
street he was stopped by voice from
the front upstairs window Mrs. Boyd
had not been kendalrs another twelve
years without having become more or
less acquainted with his ways.
Kendall DEAR she said, where
are you gotng?'
Kendall halted on the lower step
and kicked the newell post viciously.
Then he regarded the toe Of his shoe
with great disfavor.
"Play ball." he said. Over in the
lot with the fellers.''
But, you know, dancing school be-
gins today" and his mother, sweetly.
You must come ineand get ready
She withdrew her head discreetly
III time to avoid being convicted Of
hearing her son respond. "Aw, rats
On dancing school! | amt going."
Then Kendall sat down on the step
and bumped the railing with his bat
for several minutes. There was no
further sound from the house and he
repeated his former remarks, in a loud
er tone: 'Aw, rats on old dancing.
school! l amt going this year."
Say, mother!' he shouted, bellig-
erenuy. Il amt going to change my
clothes. anyway. These is good
enough for old dancing school,"
There was no response.

cav, rats!" Kendall said once
more. Il wish there hadn't never
been an old dancing school. Then
maybe | wouldn't have to GO
After relieving his mind by giving
the steps several much louder knocks
than before, he rose and went into the
house, kicking each step as he went
He draped himself about the banisters
and swung there nosily until the sound
Of the maternal voice came to him
from the upper regions
Come up, Kendall, and begin dress
ing"
"Aw, don't want to go to old dane
Ing school," Kendall reiterated. Ken
dalfs vocabulary was somewhat limit
ed. "Say, mother. don't make me go
this year, Nobody but sissy boys 20
to dancing school"
There was no reply. Mrs. Boyd vas
past mistress of the art of coercion
By silence.
"Well, anyway, I'm just going to
wear my school clothes III take my
pumps, but these clothes is good
enough"
Clump! Clump, Clump.
Say, mother" said a voice from the
depths Of Kendall's closet. Il don't
have to wash my neck. do I? Say,
gee! gave it good wash this morn
ing. I amt going to wash 1t again
this afternoon"
Silence.
We'll, anyway, l amt going to wash

see what difference it makes. I'm
clean enough to go and dance with a
lot OF girls and a lot of sissy boys"
Splash, splash, splash, from the
bathroom
Say, mother, amt going to dance

Ill dance with the teacher, but | bet
l won't dance with no girls. Girls,

Silence
Say. mother, don't have to put on

many clean things. Gee, bet dad'll
be mad when he sees how big the

Silence.
"Say, mother this stockings got

CANAL FAVORED.
Why Waterway From New Lenden te
 Webster Would Be Practical.

Many persons In towns in this sec ton have asked the question of what profitable use would be the ca nal from New London to Webster? :? along the course of the Quinebaug, ad- vocated by Congressman B. F. Ma han7''
 A prominent resident of a nearby town makes clear the profitable use by quoting what was said by a United States army engineer who discussed the same project, only for a canal through to Worcester, at a meeting of 8 business men's organization of that city about five years ago. Lower transportation rates for the big man ufacturers along the territory that would be served by the canal for coal and lumber dealers and lower prices for those who buy the goods of the latter, cheaper transportation rates for all shippers. These were advant- ages pointed out by the army engineer as results of canal service.
 All manufacturers and wholesale and retail dealers could get tide-w water coal rates, almost, it is claimed This would apply to many other classes of shipments also, and would as well ap- ply to outgoing shipments. As far back as the time of the address of the army engineer to which reference is made sketches of the proposed canal had been prepared, and were put to use in demonstrating points in the lecture Those who have made 8 study of the New London to Worcester canal project regard it as a practical prop osition and far removed from the plan n1ngS of a visionary.

FIFTY-FIvE HOUR LAW
To Go Into Force In Quinnebaug, Dan ielson, and Wauregan Mills Today How the Change Will Affect Operat- ives.


 This (Monday) morning the Quinne- baug, Danielson Cotton company and Wauregan mills will enter on a 55- hours week working schedule, in compliance with the law applying to women and minor operatives, which becomes effective January 1. Various other mills will also inaugurate the new policy in towns in this section to- day, but other mills will not do so un- til Friday when the plants will re- open after the New Years holiday.
 In some of the mills announcements will be made that the operatives will suffer no loss in wages as the result of the cutting of the weekly working time by three hours. This will be true of the Quinnebaug mills here and of the WauFegan mills. In these big plants operatives who work by the day will receive the same pay as at pres ent and operatives who are paid for piece work will receive an advance in wages sufficient to offset what they would otherwise lose by working three hours less.
 J. Arthur Atwood, agent of these mills and of the Penemah mill at TaftEilIe said Saturday that the cot ton market is not at all faVera ble to cotton manufacturers at this time and cited reasons why, but indicated the attitude of the interests controlling the plants with which he is identified to be favorable to taking the most op- timistic view of the situation and granting the increase noted.
 At Balloupille and at AttawaugaR the operatives who work by the day are to Eeceipe the same pay and the piece workers are to receive an in ! crease sufficient to offset. the loss they would otherwise suffer by reducing their working hours to 55 a week. While the 55-hour law applies only to ] women and minor operatives in me chanical and manufacturing plants, the male workers in the mills, in most cas- es will benefit by it. as they will be Ee- quired to work only 5 hours. This is not true in all of the mills hereahouts, , however as in some cases the men will continue to work 50 hours week Atthe AssaMauga Wooden company's s plant tn 9aIEllle aRA ak 4As ha6zE sasaks=

pr. Jules Jordan Makes a Hit as Santa
 Claus

The Providence Tribune says:
 One of the unique celebrations of the Christmas day festivals in the state was that held at Pontiac in the Paw tuxet valley under the auspices of All Saints Protestant Episcopal church at Pontiac. Dr. Jules Jordan, the emi- nent musician and composer, played the role of Santa Claus and read an original poem and although the dis tributien of the good things which had so miraeuleusly grown on the Christi mas tree over night was the chief fea- ture of the affair from the viewpoint of the juvenile benefciaries, to their elders the poem and the personality of Santa were by far the more interesting. The members of the church and Sum day school were present in large nun bers and the entire programme di- rected by the pastor. Rev. A. H. lar riRgten, was a most enjoyable one.
 Dr. Jordan as Santa Claus came running in. took his place near the tree and in very high pitched voice reeited his poem.
