BEATRICE’'S RAG DOLL BraTRICH had never before been to a big citg. It was a great event when her father and mother told her they were going to take her for a visit with them to a very, very big place, Beatrice packed her bag, a little straw bag which Santa Claus had given to her the Christmas before. It was such a nice straw bag, very fight and easy to carry and yet it held quite a good deal, too—particularly so If you pushed everything In hard snough. The bag was of green and tan straw, and this was the first time it had been taken away on a trip. Jeatrice began packing a week be- fore, but she kept putting more and The Rag Doll and Monkey Had to Go Along. more things in each day, until the bag was very queer looking, with its sides bulging out in all directions. And then she didn't have all the things in she really needed at all. So the day before they started she took everything out and packed all over again. Of course her rag along and so did the toy decided to leave the rest of her home.

There was her best dress but ber mother had sald she take those. So Beatrice put handkerchiefs and stockings and little things in her bag At last they reached the big city. It was the strangest place In the world, There were just crowds and crowds of streets and cars and motors and people all the time. At night there was a constant noise -—a queer humming scund quite unlike the sounds of the crickets and the owls and the leaves of the trees swish. ing and laughing as they thought of things to say to each other. The next day they went shopping, The shops, too, were crowded. And leatrice began to feel homesick for the country and her own friends and the places she knew. ut now her mother sald they were going to visit a top shop. It was a dream shop. Beatrice had, actually, to pinch herself to make sure that she wasn't asleep. There was everything in this shop. There was all the toys one could ever think of and so many more be- sides, ut of and hat would all the wonderful toys a little doll, a tiny china doll with a dress made of china lace filled her heart with longing. Oh, if she could own would perfectly, perfectly always. She stood looking at it, not noticing that she had forgotten to follow her mother who had gone to look at some bigger doll And then, something more wond tertul than any dream hap- pened to her, A kindly man looked down at and said: “Little girl, do you like that “Oh, 1 think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen In all my life. 1 adore it.” “Maybe kindly man said. “Oh, I'm sure it's so beautiful must cost dollars and dollars™ “No, it's not so very expensive it is rather unusual-but it needn't be expensive at all.

Col. Sam Hill (for that is wns) was born in Guilford, Conn. Feb- ruary 21, 1678, and died in May, 1752 He was elected to the general assem- bly, and re.elected term after term. He was for a time justice of New Haven, County court. In 1717 he was town clerk and clerk of the proprie- tors of the common and undivided lands. From 1720 to 17250 he was clerk of the Probate court and later Judge of probate, which he remained until his death. In fact, so often and so continuously was Sam Hill elected to public office, we learn, that the moderator at town meetings might have been sald to have the habit of remarking: “We are again assembled to nominate Col. Sam Hill!" And ia and cbout the town of Guilford to this day, people say with reference to an unusually success ful and surviving candidate for publie office, “he runs like Sam HL" Throughout the country the phrase gained popularity and an expression for unusual activity, which is the sense in which we use it today, (Copyright) nll Y csi county, our what he Great Shakespearean Drama “King Richard [11” was written In 1504 and first printed In 1507.
