An unexpected "hit" of the Christmas
season is the recumbent "Scotty" dog toy.
This is going over big" with young and
older girls, especially those away at
school.
1t is a fad" of the hour to place one
of these figures on the bed. Social stand
ing in some Of the institutions seems to
rest on them.
Some stores have sold hundreds, in
all sizes; some in white, too. Many are
made of rabbit fur.
A girl clerk in one of the shops was
talking with customer.
Yes, they are cute" she said. "a big,
new shipment came in the other day.
There was one that had such a rougish
expression that I bought it myself.
Now, when the alarm clock rings on
a rainy morning and hate to get up I
look at his funny little face and feel real
cheered up right away"
These "fads" for stuffed toys come
and CO.
Such articles long have been popular
with children, but it is not always that
older ones and their elders, too, fall
for them.
There must be reaSon-in this case
no doubt built on the true charm of the
real animal in the flesh.
Even in the toy something of the wag-
giSh appearance and character of the
Scottish terrier stands out.
Who remembers the stuffed Brownies
OF an older era?
They were very popular about 1896, but
lost their grip after the turn of the CEN
tury. CTheir creator, however, died only
a few years ago.
AS we recall, Brownies we're as popular
with boys as girls-maybe more SO.
Stuffed imitation toy animals, however,
have always led the list of favoriteS, and
no doubt this liking comes down from
ancient times.
Doll figures and their almost equally
popular animal limitations have been
found in ruins of greatest antiquity.
1t is race liking.
There is one thing to be said for dogs
made of wool and thread and cotton,
ana that is that they require no care
Even persons fondeSt of pets at times
grow tired of the attention they demand.
Therefore, it is wise thing, when one
even tropical fishes, to think ahead and
TO determine if one honestly desires to
go through with it.
This is where duty comes in.
Duty is a good word and an equally
good thing. 1t is not always, in this world,
that word and what it stands for are
equally good.
Sometimes we are fooled by words and
occasionally by those qualities for which
a word stands.
Some persons even go 'hay wire" as
the slang had it-maybe it still does
when it comes TO words and their mean
ings. They build up their own private
picture of red" for instance, usually
of a wild-tal.iing fellow with great deal
of hair. A man who keeps his hair cut
and dresses neatly and talks quietly will
not fit into their mental picture at all,
but on analysis may turn out to be the
most dangerous radical of all.
The duty of caring for animals is q
rigid one which is often assumed LOO
lightly. Children cannot be blamed for
this, but their elders can; yet it is the
latter who in many instances assume the

think he is wise, but the wise man knows
himself to be FOOL" while Pope in his
Essay on Man." Voltaire in his memoirs
and Goethe in Faust" reached similar
conclusions.
Michelangelo, one of his biographers
reports, in his old age insisted: II am
yet learning" and Lord Macaulay year
before his death entered in his diary: I
feel as if had just begun to understand
how to write. and the probability is that
I have very nearly done writing"
Further evidence might be found with
out much search. Rubens died complain
ing that he was passing from the world
at the moment when at last he had
learned how to paint, and Mozart
mourned the fate which Snatched him
away at time when he was beginning
to compose music worth hearing The
final words of Laplace, the mathema-
tician and astronomer, were: THAT
which we know is but little; that which
we know not is immense"
What use, then, can there be in the
ceaseless struggle for wisdom? It may
be wondered if all the effort which hu-
manity devotes to the pursuit of truth is
justified. But the question answers it
self. AS John Buchan, recently made
Baron Tweedsmuir and appointed gov
ernor general of Canada, has explained:
I'VE want humility in every soul, and
humility can come only from understand
ing. A man will not talk folly if he has
sense of the wisdom of the past, and
he will not push his own claims too far
if he realizes that he is part of the great
commonwealth of mankind. knowledge
makes humility, and without humility
there can be no true humanity"

Boy and Man.

Boy and Man.
Gazing into the window
And wishing with all his heart,
The small boy stands on the busy street
That has turned to Christmas mart.
1t seems so fragile, that pane of glass
That shuts in the lights and toys!
He gazes into the window,
A stranger to all its joys.
Gazing into the future,
The man with the wistful eyes
Sees visions of pleasure or content,
Or many a splendid prize.
And the curtains of chance that screen
them
Are slight, yet so hard to part;
He gazeS into the future
And wishes with all his heart!

Season of SeIf-DeniaI.

Now comes the season when a man
Just gets along the best he can
With old suspenders, mended hose
And neckties which much wear disclose
His handkerchiefs are frayed and few.
But the supply he won't renew.
OF sleeve links he himself denies;
To tie his cuffs with strings he tries.
He will not buy ring or pin.
He leaves the stubble on his chin
Because he lacks a razor's care.
He won't buy brushes for his hair
Because he thinks each loving friend
Some little token will extend
And-how his heart the fancy lifts
He'll get them all as Christmas giftsI

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton

Forest Logs. =
Glowing logs behind the fender,
Hewed from hemlock, oak and pine,
Bring again the burning splendor
OF the woodland in decline.
Hues of spruce trees, silvered. hoary,
And of sumach flaming red,
BoughS ablaze with copper glory,
Clouds like charcoal overhead;
Cracking leaves of brown and yellow
Deep upon FURNISHED trail
Where the wood winds, strong and
mellow,
whirl them on the sunset gale.
Vivid flame and kindled splinter
OF the fire logs that knew
Autunn's glory, in Midwinter
Resurrect each forest hue.

Charles D. Hilles, Republican ma
tional committeeman from New York and
a vice chairman of the committee has
been a powerful figure in the committee
for years. It is not often that he has
had check when he seriously advanced
a proposition before the committee. But
at the recent meeting he ran into a
real fight and lost. He sought to have
the committee disregard the rules laid
down by the convention and give bonus
of three additional delegates at large
to the national convention to all the
States which had such bonus in the
1892 convention. The rules of the con-
vention were that such bonus should
90 only to those States which were car
ried by the Republicans in the last
presidential election-six in number.
Many Of his old friends and supporters
in the committee, most of them regarded
as old guardsmen, supported Hilles in
this fight.
The newer element in the committee,
led by John Hamilton of Kansas, how
ever, turned the Hilles proposal down
by a two-to-one vote The spirit OF in
dependence shown at the COMMITTEES
meeting-a new note in such meetings
did not stop there. Efforts to have the
committee deal with this and other
problems behind closed doors were made
by some of the older members. But
there again, Hamilton took the lead IN
opposition and the doors were kept open.
It looks as though there might be
chance for New Deal in the Republican
national organization. A new order of
things and of leadership in the party
is what has been demanded in many
quarters to put the @. o. P. on its feet
again.

Veterans placement authorities here are awaiting a comprehensive interpretation of the Harrison hos pitalization law under which hun dreds of local veterans hitherto barred from hospital care are be- lieved to be now eligible for treat ment.
 In the sketchily published re- ports of the provisions of the bill, peace time veterans suffering from permanent disabilities which are non-service connected are said to be now eligible. for hospital care.
 Liberally interpreted, the bill would mean that thousands of ex- servicemen who have contracted ailments since the war and in no way connected with their service would receive medical attention provided by the government.
 Await Report
 Neither Mrs. Edith Ladd, execu- tive secretary of the local Red Cross chapter, nor Robert F. Birt. who share jointly the work of plac- ing local veterans in need of hos pitalization would venture an opin- ion on the effect the bill would have here. Mrs. Ladd said that an interpretation of the new measure would be received within a few days.
 It was predicted, however, that the admission of peace time veter- ans to government hospitalization would mean a large increase in the local case load.
 Limitations
 According to published accounts of the new act which local author ities said were somewhat contra dictory, those suffering from s ervice connected disabilities,

PARALYSIS CASES
 DROP OFF SLOWLY

Waterbury enjoyed one hum dred per cent perfect record as far as the recording of infantile paral- ysis cases are concerned, it was learned at the office of the health department today. Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, health officer, expressed the opinion that the reporting of new cases will show gradual drop-off from now on, so that a definite date for the opening of the local school can be set soon. There are now 23 active paralysis cases in the city, all isolated in wards in the Waterbury hospital and St. Mary's hospital. During last week the city reported no new cases of diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough or typhoid fever, according to the weekly report of the state health department. The city led the other cities of the state in reporting infantile paralysis last week, however.

 CAR STOLEN HERE
Machine Found in Harv= ard, Mass.-Accused in
 Case Under Arrest

Stolen from this city early last month, a car owned by the Hotch- kiss Motor Co.,, was returned here last night from Harvard, Mass, where it was found last week in the custody of Eric Carlson, 26, of Worcester, Mass. Carlson, now un- der arrest here on car theft charg- es, claims he came by the machine innocently but police declare that he has been identified by motor company officials as the man who took a car from their establishment under pretense of "tryout" and failed to return with it.
 Unable to raise bonds of $1,OOO Carlson is being held for trial in city court Friday.
 Detective Joseph Bender, who brought the car back here last night, said the machine had been driven more than 1,50O miles since 1t was stolen in this city. Harvard police told the local sleuth that Carlson had been arrested when he was unable to show registration for the car. Posting a $350 bond Carlson told authorities that the car had been given him by friend in payment for a debt, and he de- clared he was coming to Waterbury to find the thief.
 Last Friday, Carlson was found injured on Meadow street and talk en to Waterbury hospital. He said he had been attacked but police allege he was hurt after a tavern brawl. He was placed under ar. rest and charged with theft of the car.
