DOG NEARLY DRowNs
seottie, In Frigid Water, Yelps for
 Help, Which Soon Comes

If Scottie, the loyable dog owned by Mrs. Harvey Tourtellotte of South Woodstock had not yelped powerfully and in manner to in- dieate the need of immediate help, he would doubtless have been drowned in the brook near the home of his mistress. Seottie was on one of his usual scouting ex- petitions, and in some manner slid into the open water of the brook. He was unable to get his paws onto the ice, SO the best he could do was to swim about in the freezing wa ter and yelp. His canine cries were heard and recognized instantly as an IS. O. S." call. Scottie was soon pulled from the water. very cold and much scared dog. It has been noted in his scouting expedi- tions since this happening that Scottie hits trail that puts a wide berth between himself and the brook.

 The event has proved big attrae- ton not only for local, but out of town people, numbers of whom have come to the city on sleigh ride and en- joyed an hour or so of dancing before starting homeward.
 Orchestra Provides Music
 There is dancing every night with music furnished by an orchestra man aged by Dr. Harry Sharpe. While this is a heavy drawing card, this is not the chief feature One side of the hall is lined with gaiiy decorated and elec- trically lighted booths. at which there are lusty luneed 'harkers" calling their wares. Patronage at the booths has been liberal for the reason that excellent prizes are offered and car ried of by their beaming-faeed win ners.
