PROTECTING THE FARMERS.

Tn a general sort of way people of this community believe in protecting the farmers. At the proper time they win agree to the fairness of the propo- sition of protecting them as they themselves hope to be protected.
 The present moment. however. is not the proper time" The farmers are doing very we'll. thank you" but the manufacturers, and consequently the men employed by the manufacturers. arc not doing very weII. Many of them arc uncertain as to their jobs" and many arc on short time or have been laid off entEeIy.
 The Fordney emergency tariff bill to protect the farmers. which has just been voted out by the ways and means committee and action upon which is expected before Christmas. will bring no Christmas cheer to the residents of this community. Later on. perhaps, when manufactured articles have received the protection which has so aided New Britain and New Britain people. the latter will see a certain amount Of fairness in such a bill.
 At present, however. the first thought is that the passage of the bill will merely be another factor in the high cost of food. without giving equal advanage to the manufacturer and those dependent upon the manu- facturer for their daily bread
 Representative Tilson is to be com mended on the stand he has taken on the bill. Iu will be remembered that many years ago the Democratic Repre- sentative from this city held the in terests of his constituents above party theories. He demanded the rewriting of the platform on which he was to stand in the matter of protection. AL though n Democrat. advocating what was then the great issue of the Repub lican party. he was honored for his stand which has never been forgotten. He stood for true representative gov ernment. unsweyed by party generaIi- ties.
 It is to be hoped the Fordney bill | will be defeated until amended to in- clude manufactured articles.

men" who are able to convince them that they are too beautiful. too at tractive to do so.
 So tha old ideals of home and the people at home fall away from the yourss women. New things are sought; old things scorned.- .And in this sort Of "newness" there turks the most awful of failures. The gaiety is but temporary. The wrinkles come too soon and there are as a rule no un- derstanding hands to smooth them away. The long stretch of life after first youth has passed lies blank be- fore them. Perhaps there will come the river. where the shadows lie deep and the end.
 There is much that is homely about the old things. But one should be able to see through that old, tiresome aspect, to the long. long happiness the old ideals bring.

santa Claus Land, North Pole. Dec. 21-Today I have been all through the biggest doll house in the world. here in santa Claus Land. and l be- lieve the kids of New Britain would like to know about it.
 It was fun, even for me. and I'm getting to be a pretty old fellow, to sit right down on the floor and play and talk to these big and little dolls in santa Claus Land.
 One great big. blue-eyed, black haired doll was especially nice to me She took me all around and intro duced me to all her little friends. She could walk. you see. and also talk I asked her who that gray-haired doll over in the corner was, and when I squeezed her she said. Mamma"
 Key Makes Her Walk. Then when I put her down she toppled right over. I thought she was sick at first, but I soon found a key right in the middle of her back. and when I wound it up, she was ready to walk around again.

"JEsT RUMIN .,TIN'."
(Robert Russell.)

Jest once in every little while the humblest soul cries out in anguished consternation, in despair. in helpless doubt. World troubles multiply so fast an peace seems far away the peace on earth, good will toward men we speak of Christ mas day. The nations O. the world cannot form one great family in common under standin' round that sacred Christmas tree. But what strikes deeper to our hearts we know some folks. alas, who'll sec the glowin' O The Star through bits O gloom-dimmed glass. For them the candles on the Tree will bring no hope nor cheer; for them therell only sorrow be that Christmas time is here: for them there'll be but memories O days from out the past when eyes were bright. when cheeks were red-when joy came unsurpassed. An those whose cup O joy OCT flows need waste no precious bit. among the broken heart for it. Let those who knows but happiness recall by word or deed the ones that every
 little while cry out in hopeless need.

STAGE-STRUCK GIRLS

 It Is barely possible that the father who stood by the girls may be n little severe. Possibly he will not be It is difficult to conceive of two ex- citement-loving girls being committed to housework for life. They will not be.
