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

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.

knew must be taken along.
There was her best dress
but ber mother had sald she

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

owls and the leaves of the trees swish.

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-

dress made of china lace filled her

She stood looking at it, not noticing
that she had forgotten to follow her

Col. Sam Hill (for that is

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,
