Hero is Maurice Barrymoro's latest: Speaking of an actor now playing very prominent part in New York city, and who, at all times fond of hearing himself talk, is highly obstreperous when tippling Barrymore remarked: "He is what call the cuttleflsh of conversation. When he can't talk himself, he obscures the talk of other people,"
 "Cuttlefish of conversation is 6 de- lightfully concise characterization and one which tickles the nicely adjusted aural nerves.
 It is already on the lips of the numerous Barrymore imitators, who, after hearing 8 good thing from their model, rush away and tell 1t, usually claiming 1t as their own.
 The funniest part of 1t is that the hu- man cuttleflsh referred to is himself one of the most persistent of Barrymora pl4- s.s-~;sts

THE number of names in the Waterbury directory for 1895 is 1S.993. Under the old plan it was estimated that the popula- tion was two and one half times as large as the number of names in the year book. If this rule still beld good Waterbury's popu- lation would be over 47,000. But nowa- days the work of directory making is more thorough than it used to be and a larger proportion ofnames are published than was formerly the rule. so that the number of names, multiplied by two, will probably very nearly represent the total population. Figuring on that basis Waterbury's popula- is about 3S. .0O0. while Naugatuck must be satisfied with 1920.

 BICYCLE riders who have been responsi- ble for the criticism against fast wheeling have claimed that it would be impossible to prove that any one had violated the ordi- nance. In fact the police have had the impression that while they might be usually sure a rider was going too fast they could not prove it in court. But a rider who believes in protecting the law abiding wheelme takes a different view. he writes: Bicycle riders who think that no one can tell how fast they ride as they scorch along the streets are very much mis. taken. It is the easiest thing in the world to measure their speed accurately enough to swear to it without reading the cyclone. ter they carry or knowing the distance they ride. All that is necessary Is for the observer to note carefully the number oi revolutions the pedals make in given pe- riod of time. say five seconds, or a single second, and then if the gear is known the speed IS known also. Whenever rider revolves his pedals once in a second 1t is practically certain that he is riding faster than eight miles an hour"

tails Of the killing OF Captain Smith and
two comrades by Indians in the lower
part of Jacksons Hole on Thursday

believed, who killed one one Of their
tribe, and was the cause, indirectly, of
the death Of papo0se last July. Smith
was wounded in this fight, but he re-
covered. Wilson states that Captain
Smith and his two companions were
