HIS SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE

Those squirrel coats, my dear, are perfectly gorgeous. You are very much to be envied," said the woman who hadn't one.
 Its an anniversary gift" explained the lady who was wearing it. I'm glad you like it 1 don't care so very much for squirrel myself. I think I'm too pale to wear it. l prefer seal
 Then who didn't you have seal? ?'' said the woman who hadn't any squir- rel coat.
 Why, Tom-that's my husband thought the squirrel coat handsomer. He had it made to order for me as surprise, 1 had often hinted to him that wanted a seal coat, so when this squirrel one came it was a sur prise, although not ill the regular sense. I might have expected it..
 "Oh, yes,' said the woman who you mean you should have expected it?"
 The woman in the squirrel coat sigh- ed and explained: Well, you see, my dear old Tom has a way of using his superior intelligence in fulfilling my desires. Last night, for instance, he brought me bright red roses to wear to the Merryweathers' dance. They were hideous on my blue frock but had to wear them or hurt his feelings, so I wore them. When he went into the florists to buy the violets 1 had asked for he couldn't resist the won derful big roses. They were so much handsomer than mere violets.
 "A week ago, when 1 was working on my essay for the club 1 asked him to get the British Review, as 1 had heard there was an article in it that might help me. He came in gayly that evening with the London Gossip. He said he thought I'd enjoy an illustrat- ed magazine great deal more than the dull old review"
 How perfectly delightful" said the woman who hadn't a squirrel coat You never know what you're going to get. do you. It must be exciting at times!"
 ''Oh, quite so, once in a while!" sait the woman in the coat. "One day las week, when l was making grapefruit marmalade I ran out of sugar, ana when Tom came home asked him tt run over to the grocery and get some He brought in twenty pounds of browI sugar.

READ YOUR CHARACTER
Selfish Handwriting
By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1891

Selfish handwriting is writing that slants backward. But ia all jus tice to the many estimable people who write in this manner, 6 certain ex- p:anation in modification of tine word selfish is c Ie.
 Men and women who write in this fashion are not necessarily selfish in the sense that they are greedy, avari- cious or eovetous though they may possibly be so.
 But a tendency to look out for number one" and the ability to do it, too, is a most decided fundament of their characters. They may have strong emotions. They may be kind, sympathetic and affectinnate, but the practical expression Of th ese character ist:cs is always completely subordinate tG rather cool, calcrlaing reason.
 Backward writers are r atura, born'' strategists in the affairs ci life. But the nature of this strategy, it's cffici- ency or ineftIcieucy, it: ciss sificat:cn as a virtue or v:Ge depends eLtire-

BASEBALL LAW.

As an aftermath to the worlds se-

 commissioner Of baseball that players

 they can snap their fingers at them pre-
 sents an Interesting situation which is
 bound to attract much attention. The indications at the present time are that
 it will mean a test of the authority of the commissioner of baseball and by it there will be determined whether the
 commissioner is just figure head Or an authority that can command respect and enforce the rules.
 The ru e which prevails forbidding transforming by world champions was Tot made by the commissioner. It is l there and as long as it is a rule 1t ls l supposed to be enforced. Bidding def1- | fance to II is like going contrary to q decision of the court of last resort. The | Osition taken by the commissioner is that is that he is supposed to do his ! duty and the stand he has taken in this matter is to be regarded as just that. What he may personally think of the { ruie is another matter.

During ar the time that there have oaea strained relations with Mexico it has been the desire Of this country that he neigl-bors should be on friendly terms and cooperating for the welfare sf each other. Mexico under Obregoh ass indicated that it would like to o5- ,ain the recognition Of the United States. In that he takes no different sand than did Csrranza. However, conditions In his own country are much better today than they were when Car rauza was in the saddle. There are in fact better reasons today for the rec sErIcn os the Obregon government lhan there were al the time for the rec ignition o. CarranZa.

it looks now as if goodly part of the New York so called 400 would come across to the capital this winter, if reservations of hotel suites and great houses fitted for eIabor ated entertain ments is any sign of the times. Some of the private houses here are as big as ordinar.r hote.s and if for rent, are being gobbled up by visiting delegations and representatives of foreign courts. For instance the Chinese embassy has this week negotiated for a lease for one year, of a private house here. which contains 50 rooms. a big ball room, F baths and other features. furnishings and equipment that corresponds with the splendid building itself.
 The state of New York has invited senators and members of congress to

 of forming their own opinions as to the

 ing into the proposed plan of Canada to construct q deep waterway that will
 run to the St. Lawrence river and thence to the sea. New York men are opposing the project whieh has been discussed before the inteFnattenal joint commission. on the ground that it will take commerce. from AnlerisetEl ports and through trade, and responsibility for the price Of grain and other com naodities. into the hands of Canada Moreover they calm it would cost the 1 United States not less than s3O0,000,- O0O

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Benefits of the Quarantine


 Mir. Editor: There has never been in my recollection a time when one could feel the blissful peacefuiness of not hav- ing dog under foot or digging great holes in your nice kept lawn. o, that the quarantine might go on forever My idea is if you love a dog you ought to be compelled by law to keep him or her at home and not running all over and destroying your neighbor's premises. turning over the ash barrels, looking for something to eat, which goes to show that great many of the so-called cham pions of the so-caled poor dog, don't seem to love them enough to see that ! they are given enough to eat at home. Let the good work go on MT. Dog Warden. Keep them under cover jus, as long as the law will allow. i ONE WHO HAS GOT SOMETHING TO LOVE BESIDES A DOG. 1 Norwich, Oct. r, 1921.

Monday will, however, see a big hustle for the committee vacancies created by the death of Mir. Knox, but only vague runor gives an inkling as to who will get the places. Senator Bran degee is chairman of that important lcommittee on committees and Senator
