 Think of 1t, Syd, that dear little hand, the hand she had just given me trustingly in token of her devotion as a wife is perhaps maimed and crip- pied because of my cursed temper. Call me brute if you want to. You cannot call me anything worse than I have called myself.

Tn fiendish rage I watched that letter burn and then I rushed out and did not return until late in the after noon. found when I arrived that tho doctor had been called to dress Ieslie's hand which was badly burned and that she was sleeping under an opiate.
 Nice way for a man to end his honeymoon. isn't it? .

 We are beasts. all of us. Syd, we me. We attribute the motives and lack of principle that are ours 10 the women we marry.

ODD FELLOWS FAIR

All roads lead to the big electrically illuminated, blue and white sign that adorns the front of Odd Fellows Hall IA Arch street, where the New Brit ain Odd Fellows Association, Inc, is holding its fair for the benefit of the building fund. Last night was Oriental night and the bright red fezes and gorgeous costumes of the Oriental Patrol which gave an exhibition drill made the patrons of the fair imagine they were in good, old, mystic city of Constantinople. It was a lively evening for the aluminium, silver, candy and doll booths; the crazy-cats having an off night. The Rebekah booth con- tinues to be the center of attraction for those ladies who are interested in fancy and useful articles.
 Tonight the folks will have an op- portunity to see Grace Harper, a dainty. and graceful dancer and the Dancing Marleys. who are clever and amusing. Monday will be All New Britain Night, the program being made up entirely of home talent and having on it such local artists as Le- roy and Appleton, Dave Young and others.

MIR. BEAR CLIMBS A TREE.

It was plain to everyone that MT. Bear wanted to wait while. Before he climbed the old hollow bee tree and broke into the store of honey, he intended to get rid of Mrs. Bear and their two cubs by sending them home.
 But Mrs. Bear knew MT. Bear al- most better than he knew himself.
 Are you going to climb this bee tree now, Ephraim?" she demanded at last. Tor shall I climb it myself?"
 When she said that. Mir. Bear jumped for the bee tree. He couldn't bear the thought of anybody else reaching that sweet hoard ahead of him.
 "I'll climb the tree" he growled. And then he began to hitch himself up the trunk.
 In about minute and a half he reached small hole through which bees kept crawling, in or out. as they

BOILED FOWL WITH
 VEGETABLES
BY BERTHA F. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University


 Select a young fowl, weighing about four or five pounds. having plump breast. Singe. clean. and draw the intestines, being careful to remove the kidneys which lie close to the back bone. Sometimes these arc not re- moved, and the second joints of the bird are strongly favored. Sprinkle the inside with salt and place in 1t an onion peeled and washed. Truss the chicken, tying the legs securely to the body.
 In the bottom of Q kettle place a perforated pan or cover, on it place the chicken, surround with two quarts of boiling water, and add one slice each of carrot and onion, one sprig of parsley and, when half cooked, two teaspoons salt. Cook slowly until tender; place on platter and pour around the following sauce:
 tablespoons butter
 tablespoons flour
 1-2 teaspoon salt
 Is teaspoon pepper
 2 cups stock (water in which
 chicken was cooked)
 egg yolks
 2 tablespoons finely chopped pars-
 ley.
 Melt butter, add flour, salt and pepper. and pour on the stock slowly. Cook until smooth and thickened, add egg yolks and beat until smooth, but do not allow it to boil after the egg is added. Add to this sauce one-third cup each, cooked peas, carrot, and celery. Sprinkle chicken and sauce with the chopped parsley.

 He struck one of his big claws into the hole and ripped the crumb- ling wood away, until he was able to thrust his whole paw inside the tree. Then, with mighty pull he tore a great opening in the side of the tree and laid bare the honeycomb which the bees had built there and filled with the dripping sweet which Mr. Bear so dearly loved.
 The bees rushed out and attacked lim. But he didn't trouble himself just then to brush them away. First he daubed his paw with honey; then licked it off with loud smacking of his lips.
 "Is it good. Ephraim?" Mrs. Bear called to her husband.
 "Um!" he answered. And then he began to beat at the bees, which were trying to settle on his nose. His coat was so thick that there were very few spots on him where bee could sting him. His nose was one of chem.

THE GOOD
OLD TINES

Many of the old timers are con.
vinced that these are extremely de.
generate days, and things were much
better in their youth. People have the
idea that in the older days Of this
country, when life was relatively sim.
pie and many modern avenues for dis
sipation and fraud did not exist, peo-
pie lived purer and healthier lives.
But records Of conditions prevailing
a hundred years or 80 ago in this
country suggest that there was an
enormous amount Of fraud. An un-
sound banking system was one thing
that made . lot Of opportunities for
sharp practice. A vast tribe Of the
swindlers were operating all over the
country getting the money Of honest
people away from them. Judging
from the accounts Of those times con-
ditions were far worse than they have
been Of late.
In these times there are plenty Of
frauds, and . lot of sharpers are also
preying on the public. But the great
majority of business men understand
perfectly that it pays to be honest.
They are doing their best to serve the
public faithfully.
The public finds that the honest
business man is the rule and the dis
honest one the exception. II people
get taken in, it is usually because they
have not exercised common prudence,
and have not taken the good advice
that was so easily open to them in
their home city if they would only
look for it.
The past is seen by many people
in kind Of haze of idealism and ro-
nance. It was not so easy to steal
and cheat on big scale in those times
as there was relatively 80 little wealth
to prey upon. But II the old timers
Of those days were to come to life
