Then she said, Ma, you have a birthday card this morning." I took them and after counting, I had 94. Ii was such a surprise and it made me SC happy reading the nice sentiments from so many friends. There were cards from Lonesome Pine, Joan, Scottie, Red Rose Student and Narragansett, and many other dear friends.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I want to thank you, everyone, Tor the kind thoughts and expressions of sym Dathy which were contained in the sun- shine box Scottie sent from you by Vira 10 me- November 1st. Now want to tell you the use to which I put the bill I found in the center of the box.
 called up the wife of one of our good people who has a greenhouse, told her about your gift to me and said I'd ike something that I could watch grow IS expect I'll be shut in ali winter, What have you got? Of course I knew was nidseasop. She mentioned sev- ral that were nice-nicotina, ferns, cherry trees, begonias. I had one of each of these, primroses of both kinds but my rooms are most too warm for those. Then she said cyclamen. and ] think those are beautiful so decided on pne telling her to send as nice one as she could for the amount. When I, came it was a large plant and the col.

A VISIT TO PUTNAM PARK.

A VISIT TO PUTNAM PARK.
 Dear Friends of the Social Corner: It has been a long time since last wrote to the Social Corner, but I have read many of the letters with both in terest and pleasure.
 I want to tell you about recent trip to Putnam park. Doubtless many of the readers of The Bulletin in eastern Connecticut, although familiar with Putnam's exploits as a wolf hunter and soldier; do not know that the area oc- cupied by his troops in winter quarters during 177879 has been set apart as a state park, in the town of Bedding.
 Here may, be seen row after row of little piles of stones, the ruins of the freplaces, around which were built the nuts which sheltered the troops. The accumulation of ashes in some of the ireplaces made them appear fine places to plant apple trees, to neighborins farmers after the troops had left. Four of these Revolutionary trees remain alive and capable of bearing fruit A rough hewn boulder inscribed '"To the l Unknown Dead" stands in the midst of | little native stone markers, and tells a silent and pathetic story. A replica o1 the log guard house stands on the orig | inal site, and on the hillside above the l barracks area stands outpost spring. where the drinking water was secured | Log block houses mark the entrance 1 to the park from the main highway 1 Suitable tablets tell the story of the de- velopment of the area, and every his l torical spot is appropriately marked. fine granite shaft cOmmemorating Ma | jor General Putnam, his officers ant men, occupies conspicuous place neal the main entrance, and fine gravel road: | make it easy for the automobile touris l to find his way around. Barlow Circl, | is named in honor of Chaplain Barlow l who cheered the men with song ant | sermon during the long winter. He los his life in Poland while negotiating tn, peace treaty between Napoleon and tn United States.
 A native stone house in coIonialS styl is used as a museum. Aside from this and the caretaker's house, there are pa vilions and cabins for the use of picni and camping parties. None of the orig inal buildings remain.
 Phillips cave was the refuge of post Revolutionary hermit and marau der, who brought himself into suen dis favor by robbing nearby chicken coop . and corn cribs that posse of ind1gnan farmers laid in wait and shot him. Thi cave was probably the home or lnos~m
 originally, as not far off there is l mortar Tn a convenient rock.
 The woods remain in all their natl ral beauty, save for the roadways an clearings around historical spots Th picnic and playground occupies a re
 mote corner of the area, and is patron
 ized by many parties from the sur
 rounding cities. A pretty little lake a
 the foot of the slope adds greatly to tn
 beauty of the spot as one approache 2 from either direction.
 : Yours sincerely,
 I WINONA.

many vacant Hlaces around the table again, and to some the holidays are a. dread instead of days of joyfulness. But if each tries to make someone else happy she will forget her own troubles in a way. We make our own lives. and each one should try to do all the good she can and, like. casting bread on the water, it win all come back tenfold. So read good books, think good thoughts of health and let gossip and scandal go floating b H and you will be doing a good thing in the bat tie of life. Try it!

on Keller last night that he told
them the men who waited on him said
the party was not any Ku Klux Khan
