The affair was held in the Krag-

members wives who did their part in
a manner which brought them many
compliments. The words of praise
which were heard on every side "a
an evidence of how well prepared
and served was the banquet.
AT the conclusion Of the meal a
wonderful surprise was rendered the
members of the association when the
ladies, who had worked so hard and
faithfully to make the banquet a
success, emigrated from the kitchen
with aprons of the proper dimen-
sions for each member and invited
them to prepare for the strenuous
task of washing dishes. With the vol
unteered assistance Of the four young
ladies who waited on tables at the
banquet, each and every member
proved himself an expert at washing
dishes.
Immediately after the dishes were

Thought He Was Singing

From the well-known big-game hunt
err, f. C. Cornell, comes the story Of
how one evening he was returning to
camp in South Africa from a prospect
ing expedition, unarmed and alone,
when, to his horror, he found himself
stalked by three leopards.
knowing from experience that
most wild beasts are frightened by
the human voice." say Mr.. Cornell,
I let out a yell that scared even my
self, and repeated the dose every few
yards of the way back, until I was as
hoarse as a crow, and my yells began
to lack vim.
"Bit pleased with yourself, amt
you? was my welcome on reaching
camp. We heard you singing for the
last hour or more. Thought you might
have struck someone with whisky. -

First Use Of EnueIopes

Envelopes were not in common use
until about 1920. In 1926 Lamb men
tions the envelope and in Harry Lor
requer," published by Charles Lever
in 1897, is this quotation 'The waiter
entered with a small note in an en-.
velope.' 1t is claimed that envelopes
were used in France before they were
introduced in England, and there
seems to be good ground for the claim
When they first came on the French
market they were very dainty novel
ties and were made from the most ex-
pensive and delicate papers. They
were used only by the wealthy and
were considered a fad. They were
used by the public in England in a
limited way between 1880 and 1880

Remembered by His Deeds

The little fishing town of Lossie-
mouth on the northeastern coast Of
Scotland has for its patron saint, St.
Gerardine. This little known saint,
according to legendary history, is said
to have sojourned on that coast in
924. His home was a cave, and it was
his custom to perambulate the sands
on stormy nights holding up a lantern
to warn mariners away from the Skier
ries. Geraldine's efigy, with the in
sigma of the legend, is engraved on
the burgh seal, together with a ship
and the legend, per Noctem Lux"

NEW BRITAIN HIGH BOYS ARE CONGRATULATED

The football heroes of the New Britain high school are to be con- graduated upon their noble victory over the enemy in Hartford on Sat urday. The victory was an over. whelming one and created almost as much enthusiasm in New Britain as the election of president.
 The boys went to Hartford not only 10 bring back the bacon, but also the scalps, crowns. prizes, belts, and gridiron paraphernalia of the Hartford warriors generally, They left the school house there and did not bring the atmosphere with them on Humanitarian grounds. Every thing else in town was theirs.
 The New Britain boys will be In supcrfne spirits the remainder of the winter; the Hartford braves and their camp followers are dtsconso- late and cannot be comtorted. Each and every one of them feels like Casey did after he had struck out.
 It is a pleasure 10 inscribe this congratulatory statement to the lads at the high school. It should have been done yesterday but excitement over the victory betuddled the memory until 1t was too late. May luck and laughter never leave 'em.

BATTLING CRIME IN THI, BIG CITIES

l. is q cNrious spectacle to see tho two foremost cities Of the United States. New York and Chicago, suddenly awakening 10 the necessity of driving the crooks to cover. The Chicago police have just witnessed the continuation Of q gangsters' war in which the funeral Of slain lead der was one of the largest turn-outs in the history of funerals in the city; while in New York the police have made another dead line around the shopping district beyond which the grangsters can only operate at their peril. It appears all known denizens of the underworld are searched or arrested on sight be- yond the deadlin, as is done within q dnadline around the financial district,
 Both the Chicago and the New York police have been negligent in the past. The war against cut throats, robbers and crooks in these cities has been only partially efec- i've. Major General Butler of the marines showed them how 10 com hat crime in Philadelphia and the same lining can be done in Chicago or New York.

There is no reason to doubt the story of the German scientist. his narrative be- ing given in the utmost det2l and reads entirely plausible. It IS prob able the Scientific American sc!"r- tists will be able to achieve the same results with the principle thus unearthed.
 It should not be concluded that synthetic gold necessarily will be produced in such vast quantities as to affect our financial fabric, which Is based on the gold standard. Dr. Miolhe recounts that his experi- ment lasted three months, and at the end the gold produced was barely 'computable." At this rate the cost Of producing gold from quicksilver might cost more than the small quantities are worth.

WHY LUMBER COMES HIGH
 NOWADAYS

One-siAth of the lumbcr being used in the United States now comes from the state Of Washing ton. Lumber from that Pacific commonwealth is finding its way into ihe construction of homes in New England; freight rates make the costs high, although much Of it reaches the Atlantic coast through the Panama canal. But in the latter class 1t is necessary to ship the lumber from the interior of Washington to the seaports, then reload on boats, then trans port to New England ports, and then transhIp by freight trains Transportation costs, either by rail direct or by ship, adds much to th" nrjce. as builders can testify.
 If New England could produce sufficient lumber for it's needs from its own forests the situation would be different. It would cost less 10 construct a house or apartment and the lcssened cost of construction would be a saving to the people Of these states.
 There arc 800 logging camps and S10 saw mills in the state Of Wash ington, employing more than 15o'- O00 Ssrkers. Naturally, the lumber

The Miracle

Two little girls were playing with their dolls and blocks. They built a NC. church with pulpit and peTs complete.
 One doll was placed in the pulpit as minister, while the other dolls were seated in the ptws.
 Mother heard the children's voices saying: "Sow they must all get up" Then there was pause while the dolls were all stood up on their feet. Then a little voice said: Now they must sing!" and immediately both children began to shout: we have no bananas today"
