Pat Wasn't Used to High Society.

Thomas O'Brien, OF St. Louis, re-
Gently fell heir to a large fortune. He
purchased a mansion and furnished
it with the best money could buy. He
added an art gallery. in which were
placed many of the worlds master
pieces. He gave reception, to which
he invited, among others, his old
friends, the Dunnavents. The day af-
ter the party Mrs. Dunnavent said to her
husband:
"Pat, you'll never get into society.
You made mistakes every way you
turned last night"
"Why, what's the matter? What did
do that was wrong ?" said Pat.
"Well," said Mrs. Dunnavent, "when
Mrs. Kavanaugh asked whether you
had heard her daughter sing, you said
or course We have; we couldn't get
our windows down. When we were
in the art gallery and were looking at
the statue of Venus de Milo, you said
Don't get so close to that mummy
they'll have you arrested for knocking
its arm off, Mr.. O'Brien was calling
the company's attention to the beau
tiful dimple in the cheek of Mona
Lisa, when you suggested that it was
caused by a missing tooth.
"Then the way you acted at the din
ing table! You sat right down at the
table and when it was announced that
all would remain standing until Mrs.
O'Brien said the blessing, you said
she couldn't spoil your dinner. You
complained about the toughness of the
steak and asked the butler how it was
cooked. When he told you it was cook
ed by electricity, you told him to
take it back and give it another shock.
One Of the women guests asked you to
pass the nut cracker and you handed
her an empty catsup bottle. Mrs.
O'Riley asked her neighbor how she
liked her Irish stew, and YOU piped I'D,
She don't know yet, she just married
him."

The Unknown Soldier.

II the present plans are carried out,
this nation on Armistice Day Will FL
low the example of England and France.
and bury with appropriate ceremonies
the body of an unidentified soldier.
Thus through him it will do honor to
the millions Of young American citi-
zens who cheerfully and courageously
took their places in the ranks to which
their country called them, and especial
~ 10 the hundred thousand who gave
UP their lives for the cause for which
we fought. The occasion will be i'm
pressiye; it cannot but touch the heart
and uplift the spirit OF everyone who
has affection for America and for the
things for which America stands in
the world. II will be particularly in
teresting If, as seems probable, Mar
shall Foch shall be the nations guest.
He more than any other man typifes
the tenacity, the high courage and the
moral strength thar in the end brought
victory to the Allied arms. We shall
be proud to have him stand with us
at the grave Of our unknown soldier.
We are less fortunate than England,
in that we have no great historic M
tional shrine like Westminster Abbey
in which to lay our honored dead Nor
have we, like France, such monument
to past military glorv as the Arc de
Triomphe, beneath which the French
poilu was buried. Perhaps there is
no other place in the United States
so appropriate as the great NATIONAL
Cemetery at Arlington, Virginia Tha,
at least is the opinion of those who
are planning for the ceremony. There
the soldier slain on the fields of France
will lie in the presence Of nearly twen-
~ thousand men who fell in the service
of their country in the great Civil WAY
or in the war with Spain. More than
four thousand of them are, like him
self, unknown. Among the others arc
men from every rank. Generals who
commanded armies lie side by sido
with subalterns and privates. The I'M
known soldier will be at home among
them. Like them he gave everything
at the nations call. Like them he
helped everything to cement with his
blood the foundations Of the indie
pendence, the unity, the moral power
OF America. His tomb will have ex-
ceptional significance because it will
symbolic the gratitude and affection
or his countrymen not for himself
alone but for the thousands of others
who taught the world the dignity and
the unity and the strength of our ma
ton, composed. as it is, of so many
diverse elements. In the years to come
that tomb will be one of the most fire.
quently visited and one of the most
sacred spots in the country.

CoIA.U SICABLE DISEASES ARE
 SPREADING TO SMALL TOWNS

Diphtheria, scarlet fever whooping cough and measles arc now spreading in- to the sim. Her towns of the state from the lar.' cities, From Norwich last week there were reported four eases of diphtheria. one case of scarlet fever and six cases of ,whoopinG. cough. Dis cases reported from eastern Connecticut towns were as follows:
 Dirdltheria-Jewett City, : Lyme l Montville l, Norwich {, StoninEton , Mansfield 1.
 Scarlet feevr-Groton l, Lyme 2, New London 4; Norwich l, Stonington 1, Wa tcrford l, Mansfield l, Thompson 3, Will limantic 1.
 Measles-Colcnester 4, Lebanon :, Pomfret 1, Thompson '.
 Whooping cough-New London 4i, Norwich 6.
 Diphtheria and, Scarlet Fever.
 The prevalence of diphtheria and scar let fever in Connecticut during the month of December was greater than that of any previous December for either of these diseases, during the past few years.
 It is felt that the high point in the diphtheria prevalence is past, but the total number of cases of scarlet fever for January will exceed the December to-
 
 teh remaining days of the month. The diphtheria situation is very en- l oouraging and speaks well for the pre- ventive measures carried out by physi- clans and local health officers in Con- necticut. Prior to the use of Aiphtheria l antitoUin it was the usual thing to have at least 20 per cent. of all diphtheria cases die. whereas in 1919 only "A per cent. died in Connecticut and the fatal l ity rate for 1920 will be still lower. The reason for the cont i7ued decrease ] in the fatality of diphth n is in par- due to the calling in of physicians by parents earlier in the course of the i'll. ness. and the prompt administration oi diphtheria antitoxin in sufficient doses | to cure.
