A Very Merry Christmas in

Merry Christmas every one.
Happiness for all!
For l love you every one.

So sang Farmer Browns Boy on
Christmas morning as he started forth
for the Old Orchard, the Green Meadows
and the Green Forest. The air was
clear and frosty and all the world
seemed like a lovely white fairyland.
1t was almost too lovely to be real.
But it was real. In fact. Farmer
Browns Boy suspected that to some
Of his little friends it was almost too
real to be lovely. That is why he
was starting out that Christmas
morning. He was so merry and
happy himself that he wanted to be
sure that every one around him was
just as merry and happy. So he
had given the horses and the cows
and the hens and Bowser the Hound
and Black Pussy a little extra Tor
breakfast. Then he had had an extra
good breakfast himself. and now he
was starting out with his pockets and
4 bag full of good things-for, we'll,

Browns Boy laughed Then he stood
still and held out a hand on which
were some cracked hickory nuts.
Tommy flew down and looked them
all over. Dee, dee. dee!" he cried and
picked out the biggest, fattest one.
The rest Farmer Browns Boy placed
in crotch of the tree where Tommy
could help himself at will. Then he
carefully tied a piece of fresh suet
to branch where Tommy Tit and
Drummer the Woodpecker and Yank-
Yank the Nuthatch would find it. In
fact, all three of them were watching
him as he did it. So was Sammy Jay.
Beneath the tree he scraped away the
snow until he had little cleared

wheat and sunfiower seeds and grass

floor of the haymow. These were for

Fads That Pass in the
Kitchen.

do you remember few years ago
when we all went wild about paper-bag
cookery? Everything from soup to pud-
ding we baked in paper bags, and we
vowed that every dish that had been
cooked by that new method possessed a
strange deliciousness that could never
have been gained but through the paper
roasting pan. We bought recipe books
and no end of bags. We liked the fad
for a while and then we forgot. We had
few failures and we became disgusted
So passed the fad for paper bags.
And then came new vogue for cas-
serole cooking. To be sure, similar dishes
had been used for cooking with similar
results in France, Spain, Germany and
Scotland, and other lands. for cons of
years. But somehow our culinary in
terest was focused on the casserole, and
We swore our eternal and undyng de-
votion to it. 1t was chicken en- casserole,
beef en- casserole and everything else en-
casserole until we forgot all about the
casserole and relegated it to the top shelf
with the paper bags.
At one time in the history of our culi-
nary experiments we became addicted to
the use Of the fireless cooker. We spent
our good money on a large and complete
outfit and spent long hours experimenting
with the various appliances. But before
we had saved in fuel enough to cover half
the cost of the firelesS cooker we grew
weary ana up TO the attic went the fire
less cooker.
Now the really sensible thing to do
would be to accept these fads for what
they are worth and to keep them all.
There are things that can in no other
way be SO well SO conveniently cooked
as in paper bags. Baked fish in a paper
bag Is delicious and leaves no dishes to
be washed. Casserole chicken is more
delicious than any other sort of chicken
and an occasional casserole stew is well
worth while. For cereals and many sorts
OF meat dishes the fireless cooker is a
convenience to every housewife. and
surely vegetables and puddngs cooked in
glass have many decided advantages
Therefore. keep all these devices for
what they are worth. and take care nos
to exhaust your interest at first by too
great enthusiasm.

wall and clicked two fat nuts to-
gether. Happy Jack scrambled down
and started toward him. Chatterer
jumped from the stone wall and
started toward him. Half way to
him those two foolish cousins stopped
and began scolding each other. calling
each other names. and all the while
jerking their tails angrily.
Shame on you BOTH" cried Farmer
Browns Boy. Don't you know
that this is Christmas morning? :?
Here's peace and good will" He
tossed a fat nut to each. Then he
left two little piles of nuts and went
on to the far corner of the Old
Orchard. There he scraped away the
snow and made a little shelter Of
brush. Under it he scattered wheat.
This was for Bob White and Mrs. Bob.
From there he went to the dear Old

rots and some pieces of turnip for

The New Wedding Ring.

The plain gold band has had it's day
Or at least among the most up-to-
date of the brides-to-be there is a lean
ing toward a wedding ring that is
} more ornate and less severe And this
inew fad for the welding ring ornate
gives the jewellers a chance to show
more skill and incidentally to make
more of profit from their own handi-
craft.
The finest of these new wedding rings
are made of platinum, and to quote a
! jeweler. they are made with finely
carved scrolls on the sides and set
with full cut diamonds of superior
quality small half circle with about
a dozen small diamonds set in plati-
mum would cost a little more than
half a hundred dollars. A full circle
of the same size diamonds would be
somewhat less than a hundred dollars
A circle of larger diamonds in a fex-
ible ring would cost almost 5000
But there are less expensive exam
Piles of this new ornateness in wedding
rings. These are made of gold wrought
in an attractive design. An orange
blossom pattern is especially popular
among these all-gold rings They can
be bought for a price not very much
higher than the old-fashioned plain
gold band.
For several seasons plain platinum
bands as wedding rings have had a
vogue among women of taste, but
owing to the extremely high price of
platinum only persons of large bank
account should think of paying the
price for such a ring. Especially when
the wedding ring is to be worn with a
diamond engagement ring set in plati-
mum are these plain platinum wedding
rings very attractive.
Especially acceptable are the new
diamond wedding rings when there has
been no engagement ring. When there
is to be no formal announcement of an
engagement before the marriage a
woman often chooses not to wear an
engagement ring. In such an event
the very best selection for the wedding
ring would be one of these heavier dia-
mond rings-that unites in the one ring
the symbolism OF both the betrothal ring
and the wedding band

NEW YORK, December 26.-Certain

When such costumes were included
in the quite remarkable December
sales, in which every house in New
York threw it's stock on the counters
and came pretty near taking what any
one would offer for it. the impression
gained ground that jersey suits would
not be included in the new spring
things. But this is not true. They will
be at the height of fashion. The mod
els that I.<ere skeletonized in price

been brought over in September and
had not been bought.

RUMAN|AN WAR
 DECREE CAUSES
 DROP IN WHEAT

Chicago, Aug. 2S-Rumania' de- claration of war smashed the wheat market Opening prices showed a fall in some cases amounting to 5A cents a bushel. September delivery, which closed Saturday at S1.51 4 {, started today at $1.46 to $1.4S F :. Other options also broke wildly.
 General rushes o sell took place which were increased by the increas- ed chances of general railway strike in the United States.
 Before the decline could be check ed, an extreme drop of S1a cents a bushel had been recorded.
 Notwithstanding that the tremend- ous pressure to unload holdings car ried away for a while all other con- alterations, the extraordinary break proved too tempting for buyers to re- sist and the market showed the con- sequence in rallies of three cents to 3H cents from the lowest level.
 Fear traders generally took the view that the action of Rumania was likely to prove a big factor in forcing a more speedy end of hostilities or would at least tend to hurry the opening of the Dardanelles and so release huge Rus sian shipments of wheat.

HUSBAND DENIES FUNDS FOR FOOD,
 SHE SHOOTS HIM
Willimantic Woman Fires Three Shots, One of Which
 Wounds Herself.

Willimantic, Aug. zS.-D. P. Zara was shot through the left lung today by his wife. He is at the hospital and may die. The wife claims that Zara had not given her food for their five five children or money to get the ne- cessities of life. Zara says his wife was angry because he demonstrated with her as to her alleged actions with a border and after an argument she went into a room and came out with the weapon. Three shots from the .32 calibre gun were fired. Only one went into Zara's lung, the second into the kitchen floor and the third wound ed the woman in the arm.
 After her wound was dressed Mrs. Zara was locked up. A neighbours little girl notified the police of the trouble in the Zara tenement in School House lane. A patrolman found Zara sitting in a chair outside the house weak from loss of blood. He had rushed out after being shot. Mrs. Zara could not tell how she happened to wound herself. No formal charge is made against her as the medical examiner with Zara's ante-mortem statement is awaiting the outcome of the mans wound.

DOCTORS CRIES SUMMON AID AS DEATH INTENDS Neighbor Forces Entrance and Finds Dr. E. H. Wood
 Critically Ill. MADE SELF RECLUSE AFTER WEES DEATH Prominent Physicians Con- ferring in Effort to Save
 Life of Friend.

Dr. Eugene H. Wood, a widely known physician of this city, often referred to as the dean of the Bridge port medical profession, is said to be in a critical condition at his home, 541 Fairfield avenue, following a sudden and protracted illness during the night of Thursday, Aug. IT, when he was alone in the house and unable to summon assistance by his cries.
 Rumors circulated today that the aged physician had been beaten by thugs who had first chloroformed him and then attempted robbery are set at rest today by the many reputable phy- sicians attending him.
 Dr. Wood, who has lived the life al- most as a recluse since the death of his wife last spring, was alone in the home when he was stricken with in ternal pain resulting from an old and unusual operation upon the gall duct He was afflicted with extreme weak ness and nausea.
 Attempts upon his part to summon aid during the night were fruitless and during part of the morning his continued efforts were so indistinct as to be little needed from the street.
 Mrs. George H. Carter, living in the adjoining house, at 554 Fairfield ave- nue, heard the faint moans and cries. At first she paid IIIrIe attention to them, but when he crawled downstairs and managed to push open a window she heard his means distinctly. She summoned assistance and forced an entrance to the house.
 Dr. Wood was found in a very weakened state. He was able to say that he had been very sick and unable to get assistance. lie asked that a physician be called im- mediately. Dr. Cha~es c. Godfrey his associate, being absent from the city, Dr. Samuel M. Garlick and Dr. George Garlick responded to the tele- phone request of Mrs. Carter. Restor- atives were prescribed and as the case Lynch, Edwards NJ. Smith and Willia n c. Watson were summoned in con- ference.
 Dr. Wood was removed immediately to the LeVey hospital in Norman street. He was brought home last night after relations upstate had been notified of his condition and were prepared to care for him.
 Though the reported purchase Of large quantity of chloroform by a young man who was known to have visited the Wood home on Thursday morning gave rise to a rumor that an attempt had been made to chlor- oform the physician, it is now estab- llsheG by physicians attending the case that this anaesthetic is among others being used to deaden the ex- treme pain the patient is suffering. It is not unlikely that the patient used this remedy himself in small doses

FUSED METAL BURNS LIMBS OF W0RkMEN
Three in Hospital With In- juries Received When Molten Mass Spatters Jets of Fiery Material About Foundry Room.

Burned by molten aluminium which spattered in a boiling pot at the plant of the George S. Young Metal Co. about 4 o'clock this morning, three employees of the company are now at St. Vincent's hospital but their injuries are not expected to result seriously. One of the men narrowly escaped having his eyes burned out by the spattering metal.
 Patrick Piclani of 6S3 Housatonic avenue, Thomas Sporani of 197 Hurd avenue and Eugene Legg of 26O State street, were working about a cauldron in the foundry. The aluminium was being heated preparatory to pouring and the three men were getting ready to do that operation.
 Legg was standing beside the melt ing pot and Piclani had just ladled the metal. He had backed, away from the pot and Sporani was stand ing with another ladle in his place. Of sudden, something sputtered and the shouts of the three workmen. Other employees of the foundry hurried to their assistance and found that the metal had spattered about them.
 First aid was rendered the three men while a call was sent in for th5 ambulance. Legg was severely burn- ed about the face and head and the metal narrowly escaped going in his eyes. Piclani suffered second degree burns of the left arm. All were treated by pr. c. c. Taylor and then taken to St. Vincent's hospital.
