to a buggy of ancient vintage. The
rear of the buggy was stuffed with
hay with which to feed the beast
when the parade was over, and just
as the vehicle passed the Windsor

pulled from the buggy before much
damage was done.

Booze IL Not a Good Cure

(From the Ames Iowa Intelligencer)
When man comes to you doubled
up with pain and declares he will
die IN your presence unless you
procure him a drink of whiskey,
send him to a doctor or else give
him a dose of ChamberIain's Collie

of people that booze is the best
remedy for collie and stomach ache.

SAYS STATE LAW
WILL PERMIT CITY
TO BUILD HOMES
Change of Constitution Is Not
Necessary, in Opinion of
La Guardia.

President la Guardia OF the Board
Of Aldermen issued statement yes
terday in which he said he was
wholly in accord with the aims Of
Borough President Curran in his eff
forts to Increase housing facilities in
the greater city. but he does not be-
lieve, as does. Mr.. Curran. n consti-
tutional amendment Is necessary to
authorize the city to put up apart
ment houses for rent.
II am aware" he said, "that there
Is 1 difference Of opinion as TO the
constitutionality of a law permitting
the erection of such houses, but in the
light OF recent rulings as TO the
powers Of municipalities, 1 feel conf
dent that a State law empowering
the City Of New York TO engage in the
building OF houses for dwelling pur-
poses would be valid and upheld by
the courts.
at is highly gratifying that tho
housing situation is again attracting
the attention Of the public. We
needed help when the matter was be-
fore the Legislature, but at that time
a great many were timid or too con-
sentative to indorse the drastic action

the city can go ahead and build n

dren In the apartment overhead were
borne to his ears.
The recognition Of the fact that he
was getting old. that he was missing
something in life that might make
him better and happier, appealed to
him powerfully this Christmas eve.
He had mechanically distributed the
usual Christmas largesse at the Office.
Homeward bound he had neglected no
appeal from the street mendicant.
This was not soul-satisfying, however.
1t had dawned upon him that he had
brought, his isolation upon himself
that there were at least two persons
In the great city who were Of kith and
kin and he set to summing up the
duty he owed them.

Of the true character Of her flance.
She believed him, and pale and In
tears returned home, Offering him
money for his service, which Ivan re-
fused, and imploring him to keep the
entire matter secret.
Ivan had forgotten all about this in
cident as time passed on. It was near
ing holiday time when he came home
from one Of his trips with bag full
Of farm plumber for the little ones
and a great fat white goose. 1t was
to signalize their Christmas dinner
and was an object Of immense inter-
est to the expectant children. Little
Levi had set some hay under the fowl,
ito lay an egg on" he put 1t, and the
spirit Of the season infected all hands.
Then a queer thing happened. John
Helmsby dropped In several times
during the week He evinced a new
and mysterious interest in his poor
tenant. Then, just day before
Christmas he brought his daughter
with him. Mr.. Helmsby had been told
all about the goose and the expectant
egg, and his daughter had to be shown
the priced fowl by little Levi.
She gave Ivan an intense look as
she departed, and the honest peddler
was mystif1ed just then. Not later,
however, on Christmas morning, when
Levi burst into the room excitedly
with the incredible announcement: -.
"Oh, father. father, the goose has
laid a golden egg!"
And there In his hand was the .evi-
dence- gtlded papier-mache egg, and
inside Of it was found two 81, 900 bills,
Ivan Vidal's reward for saving a
young girl from a lifetime Of misery,
and keeping his knowledge secret.

Joy as he realized how much the great
9ift meant to himself and those he
loved upon that blessed, happy Christ
mas. morn.
