The old Yankee stock of Connect
cut is melting away like snow touch
ed by a south wind. There were 49,
900 babies born in this state last year,
and $4,000 or about two-thirds of the
total, were children of foreign born
parents. So it goes, but the early
settlers of Connecticut we're irnni-
grants themselves and it is reasonable
to expect that the state will continue
to remain on the map and its people
be as good Americans as their prede-
cessors in the years that will roll
along-Norwich Record.

DECAY OF SURGERY

CHICAGO, Now 23.-Internal medicine
is destined to surpass surgery in value
to the human race during the next
twenty-five years.
DIR. John B. Murphy. world famous
surgeon. made this prediction today at

In the twenty-five years to come 1t
will not be the internal medicine OF

patients tongue and patting the head.
1t will be the internal medicine that
goes into details. makes analyses and
endeavors to arrive at a diagnosis. 1t

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Had it not
been for 4 buii pup and a Dun terrier

something like that but probably
society in the suburbs" with para
graph. written in the society reporter $
best style, telling how Mrs. II. L. Terry
entertained several friends with pam
cake party at her home in Sayville,
Long Island, and pleasant time was
had by all"
All Of which only goes to prove that
every dog has his day" even when it
comes to writing headlines in newspa-
pers. Give heed,
For several weeks Mrs Terry and her
daughter Edith have been planning a
unique party, something that would
make social circles sit up and breathe
harder than is the custom in quiet old
Sayville-by- -the-Sea. They succeeded.
but not by the pancake route.
Mrs. Terry and her daughter sent out
carefully printed cards. with the an
nouncement that a lady's pancake
party would be held at the home of
Mrs Mrs. II. l. Terry, p m, to 6 p. m..
Shortly before the hour set these citi-
zenesses of Say'ville and its environs
began to arrive at the Terry home: Mrs.
t'arl melcuest, of East Islip: Miss Ruth
Mellquest, Mrs. Elizabeth Williams. Mrs
Mrs William Sawyer and others.
The pancake flour was just perfect
the tea was delicious and the maple
syrup still tasted of the bark fporten-
tous wordD. Everybody was happy, and
one woman after another pressed for
ward TO where Mrs. Tery ana her daugh-
ter sat receiving and dispensing to Of
fer congratulations on this delightful
and perfectly scrumptious occasion
Unfortunately, the man who can in
vent a typewriter that will write the dog
language is still to be born. Therefore
much must be guessed at in this ac-
count of what followed. but it should be
taken for granted that there was ac-
ton every minute.
Mrs. Terry has bull pup known as
Jack" and Mrs. Mellquest boasted
Of bull TERROR bearing the proud
name of Nero" The latter member
of the Mellquest family accompanied his
mistress 20 the pancake party. The two
dogs met face to face in the Terry par
1or. and this is what happened then:
"Woof! }. 'zR O. Y -; XZ&?) ="
accompanied by a potpourri of pam
cakes. tea cups and business of ladies'
jumping on chairs and tables.
In the smoke of forgotten pancakes
burning on the griddle Mrs. Mellquest
closed her right hand about "Nero's"
right hand leg, and was rewarded with
bite Then a mere man rushed in and
separated the dogs of war;" but not
before everything movable i'm the parlor
had been knocked topsy-turvy.
1t Is believed that hereafter pancake
parties will be strictly taboo in Sayville
social circles.

didn't want to let go. He proposed that

When England Needed Bread.

q England was once on the verge of a
bread famine. That was In 1900. when
the wars with France combined with
a succession Of bad harvests to plunge
the country into state OF general des-
titution. "A law was enacted" writes
Mr.. F. w. lakewood, prohibiting the
sale Of bread till 1t had been out of the
oven at least twenty-four hours. Food
was 80 scarce and dear that a portion
Of the population refused to starve In
and rioting broke out In many
parts of England. The acts against
'forestalling and regrating'-that is. an
dcipating the markets so as to raise
the price of foodstuffs-were rigorous
ly enforced. A royal grant of $500
was made to one Thomas Toden. to
enable him to prosecute a discovery
