He had taken off his glasses and was polishing the lenses. Both guests looked up, unspeaking.
 "It's the hospital" began Dr. John slowly. Were -- we're going to get it." His voice sounded strained and unreal. T can hardly believe it's true-after all these years the hospital-we're going to get 1t. Dreaming all these years and now it's come true!"
 Eventful days followed. The quin- tuplets bloomed into five lovely little girls, who passed their first birthday in excellent and glowing health. Gaining in weight almost daily, they cut their first teeth, learned to crawl, creep, drink, eat, bang each other over the head with toys, and laugh gaily over all these things. Tn all Canada, in all the world you could find no set of five brighter, healthier, happier little girls.
 Dr. Luke was in his element. Within the limits of the rigid re- gime he prescribed at the Wyatt home, he romped and played with "his little angels" during daily wis., its. A permanent nurse was secured to stay with them. They were happy days.
 The only rival for the doctors affections was the hospital. Archi- tects, contractors, big-city doctors came to Moosetown, and all con- ferred earnestly and respectfully with Dr. Luke. Eagerly the coun- try doctor followed every blueprint, every tier of brick, every rising timber that treasured him daily that his dream was actually coming true before his eyes. A hospital that would provide for the community needs, with 8 special wing for the five bright little girls The doctor was buster than ever he had been in his life, and happier, tool
 Mary Mackenzie called often at the little house. There were those special letters from Montreal which came often, addressed to Dr. Luke, but with curious marking in the corner. Somehow Dr. Luke never

MEN OF ERIN. CARRY ON

On next Sunday if the weathers fair, You will see men from Cork and County Glare, Marching proudly with heads erect, And with that feeling of respect, For their dear old native land And that Saint. noble and grand, To whom they never forget to pay. Their sincere homage on St. Patricks Day They will come from all walks Of life. Forgetting the daily storm and strife, Men with spirit brave and true. From old Ireand's counties. thirty-tWo; Men who at old Castle Garden landed. And the country born God commanded, On that day to bravey consecrate And obey his will to celebrate. So as they pass along the street. Accepting the praise of those who greet, ATrayed so elegantly in sash Of green, Their fay0rite color plainly to be seen. Now let lls in our humble way, Raise to the heavens loud and gay, shout of praise nov and then. FM such c nne body of men.

Polite applause did not drown out the steady hum of an a;rpiane mo- tor over head. To two people in the crowd, at least, 1t was signifi- cant.
 Mary Mackenzie, with an almost prayerful glance at the sky, began to edge her way out of the crowd. She knew who it was that was planning to fly into Moosetown that day. Tony! So happy! You've come for me at last
 But another heard the planes motor also. It was Constable Jim ogden. Automatically removing a frayed and dirty warrant from his breast pocket, he too edged his way through the crowd. Before he could start for the nearby open field, however, he felt heavy hand on his shoulder. It was Mackenzie.
 Don't be a fool, man" the man. ager hissed. Give me that war rant!" Automatically Ogden ex- tended the frayed paper. Mackenzie seized it from him, tore 1t in four pieces, which fiuttered to the ground. ogden, with a sigh of re- lief, edged back into the crowd.
 Sir Basils speech concluded, the proceedings came to an embarrassed halt. "Where's Dr. Luke?" asked Sir Basil nervously, behind his hand An aide promptly tiptoed into the hospital.
 Tn the nursery he found what Inc sought. On the floor. surrounded by circle of crisp. pretty little girls was Dr. Luke. He was winding mechanical toy whose gyrations has been bringing gleeful shrieks iron the babies.
 They're waiting for you outside Dr. Luke" suggested the nurse, re- spectfully.

The governor general laughed. T don't mind admitting that I'd Ike Q souint at them myself" he ad-' mitted. But I have also come aS 6 representative of our Sovereign"
 The doctor was startled. "Yes-F he began.
 The governortgeneral cleared ha5 throat, and turned half toward the crowd half to Dr. Luke.
 "You have achieved Q spectaculeS medical record, Doctor. But what 1 even greater, is your record Of lie" time service to the people or tnM province. Tn recognition of this loyal, unselfish, untiring service, . have the honor to bestow upon you on behalf of His Royal HighnesS. our Gracious King, the Order Of the British Empire"
 The governor general stepped forward then, and deftly pinned the decoration on the lapel of the doc- tors coat.
 Dr. Luke looked down at the decoration on his coat. Then the lenses of his glasses misted just little. He swallowed visibly. Slowly he raised his head, and words came.
 q don't know what to say" he fumbled. T can--only accept this great honor in the name of all country doctors. have done noth- ing more than what they have all done, what they are doing every day.
 "All my life I have worked and hoped for hospital for the north country. Just when 1t seemed most hopeless, these blessed babies were born. Ever since their birth, l have felt as if some great Goodness stood behind my shoulder.
 Sometimes 1t has been hard to believe that the birth of these quintuplets was anything but a medical fairy story "
 The doctor turned to the nur- sery window. Five bright, rosy, smiling faces smiled out at him. Tiny fingers waggled a greeting.
 But have only to look about me, to look into those sweet lit- tie faces, to see that it has all come true"
 The country doctor turned slow ly and walked through the door in- to the nursery.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics: I haven't bothered you lately but there's been something my mind the last few days especially since that hint of spring has been in the air. wonder if you could tell me just what is going to become of that "white elephant" which graced the Fulton Park tennis courts this past winter? Iwoud also like to have somebody inform just what purpose this enclosure the courts served? So far as can see 1t was utilized for anything except to catch the snow that fell the courts. If intended for an en- closed hockey rink, then why wasn't it put to this pur- CT? The only good purpose that can coming from it is the fact that the park department will have to reconstruct the courts that torn up to permit its construction last fall They've needed that for tme let's hope they'll be put back in the shape that is demanded of rstclass tennis court none of which the city of Waterbury boasts, municipaly speaking.

A Vice President "Frat"

The latest bit of lOwdown propaganda the confident Landon leaders have to com bat Is based on the fact that the Kansas governor is Q member of the college fratern- ity Phi Gamma Delta.
 And so, whispering cam paigners assert, were Vice President Calvin Coolidge, Vice President Charles K. Fairbanks, and Vice Presi- dent Thomas R. Marshall.
 The inference being that Phi Gam just hasn't the knack of producing presi- dents.

 Louisiana Women Fight On
 They laid Huey Long in his grave months ago, but the famous Women's Committee of Louisiana organized to drive Huey from public life is still after his colleague Senator John Overton.

 WPA Hits Back
 WPA finally is getting out some counter-propaganda which may prove somewhat effective. News. papers everywhere are being tole of the percentage of WPA money going into their states which is be- ing used for permanent improve ments, such as highways, parks playgrounds, public buildings, wa terworks, and sewers.
 Harry Hopkins Is authority for the assertion that 86 per cent of all WPA projects consist of "addi- tiOns and improvements to public property" The other IA per cent of WPA funds goes to white collar projects, sewing, and other production projects for use by the unemployed.
 The answer to charges of vicioui politics in WPA administration 1T several states hasn't been found. I there's an effective one, 1t will have to consist of vigorous action. Copyright, 1886, NEA Service, Inc.I

Washington, March il - Twelve years ago that doughty old warrior, William Jennings Bryan, took the platform in the Smith-McAdoo fight at the Madison Square Gar den convention and received a ter- rible booing from the anti-McAdoo delegates and galleries packed by Tammany.
 Today Democrats are discuss ing the likelihood that Al Smith will receive similar but perhaps worse dose of the same If he rises to attack the New Deal at his party's convention in Philadelphia perhaps worse, because Roose- welt forces will control nearly all the delegates, as well as the gal- leries.
 It would be the first time, poli- ticians point out, that Al ever had to take itl"
 The Farley -Hurja strategy will be designed to make Smith, who un- doubtedly will be @ member of the New York delegation, look as lone- some as possible. But it isn't clear yet just what Al intends to do.
 No one will try to stop him if he wants to address the convention.

Ice and fog,

 Gathering fleets. Honeycombed banks of Evaporating snow, Strikes and fights Make spirits low. Leaking roofs, Icicles going, Hole filled pavements, Rivers swift flowing. Birds at dawn Make a chatter, Columnists busy Composing Spring batter. Checks and plaids, Flowers and laceS, Everybody busy Going places.
