AN APPRECIATION

In appreciation. of their spirit, the New Britain Herald extends its con gratulations and best wishes of the season to the men who constitute the New Britain post office force. They hardly need praise because records speak for themselves, and their record this year reveals impress sively to what extent we depend on them to make our Christmas happy one. fs
 At season when a petulant public is apt to be more irritable than usual, the clerical force at the postofflce, the gray clad messengers who deliver so many cheering letters and cards. the parcel post carriers and the men who lug sacks to and fro between rail- roads and headquarters, have render
 ed good service-and have kept smii- ing.
 In charge of this extraordinary sit-
 uation is a man who also knows no" to smile, Postmaster William F. De- laney. He has not been above pitch ing in an helping to carry the load' Like a good commanding officer, his
 call has been Come on" instead of
 "Go on." He would be the last to
 take credit for himself for what has
 been accomplished, despite the fact
 that he holds an exalted position
 among the post office force.
 There is credit for all and when
 the last stamp is cancelled and the
 last parcel sent on its way, the Her
 aid wants Mr. Delaney and his work
 CTS to know that the public thanks
 them for a job well done.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MIR. BENNETT

Among the gifts which New Britain finds in it's stocking is the promise of Highway Commissioner c. J. Bennett that the state will build a concrete road from this city to Plainville. It will be twenty feet wide and will re- place the present highway that re- mindA us so much of the old oaken, or pine washboard that hung in the laundry before Landers. Frary and Clark and other forward looking man ufacturers gave us the automatic washing machine. t4
 The news will bring rejoicing to the hearts of motorists whose spirits and cars have been racked to pieces. Its completion will entitle MT. Bennett to membership in the Society to Lessen the Use of Profanity" if there is such a society.
 So we say. ''Merry Christmas, MT. Bennett, may your highway of life be free from bumps"

 When the steeple jack who was here last week gave his demonstra- ton on top of the Andrews building, the captain took up a collection on the street. The result was disappoint- ing, financially. Everybody was looking up and didn't see the collec- ton plate," he commented. VA
 Those who know the captain know that he is built physically on fairly generous proportions. He was com plaining one day about the cold. "A man as fat as you are shouldn't mind the cold" he was informed. "Yes, but, when all that fat gets cold, 1t hurts" was the immediate reply. ~,
 He was given letter of introduce ton to c. B. Cleveland. superintendent of the Boys club. MT. Cleveland was out when he called. The captain waited few moments, then wrote "Pleased to meet you" on the letter and departed. @s
 A very small boy was seen stand ing over a very, very small boy to- day the latter having slipped and fallen to the slippery pavement. The smallest lad was whimpering; he seemed to be hurt. The other, ser ious in his antiquity of possibly ten years, wore glasses and solemn face.
 "Wow-it hurted," walled the very, very small boy who. had fallen.
 Tt does not hurt" declared the very small boy, looking down at the other with an air of conviction. Its going; it's going; it's going-tt's gone; it's gone; it's gone. There now, Horace; it's gone and it doesn't hurt any more. Day by day in every way I'm getting better and bctter-say that, Horace-keep saying that"
 Indistinct murmurs came from the ground ass Horace tried to obey, at the same time rising painfully.
 At that instant there came into view from the house in front of which the boys were the stout form of an irate female parent.
 What cher doin' to Horace?" she cried to the advocate of auto-sugges- ton.
 "I'm just telling him that he isn't hurt" said the lad seriously. He isn't hurt, really you know, and he can drive away any pain if he just thinks so. That's what the French man Coue says, and know it is true"
 -"Biff," from the heavy hand of the irate parent. uH
 "Ouch!y from Horace's young in- structor. And then, as he wandered on down the street, his hand caressing the point of contact" there came the murmuring words: T guess MT. Coue didn't know how hard Horace's mother can hit"
