student, receive no pay. There will still
be opportunity for needy students to earn
something towards defraying their ex-
penses. The new instructors are: DR..

successor to Professor PEBBLES; Miss
Whitney librarian, successor to Miss
Bowers; Mrs. Greenough, preceptress,
successor to Miss Lincoln, and Mr.. Mon
teith, instructor In English and mathe-

A story has leaked out of an episode
at the Connecticut Agricultural college,
which came pretty near costing some OF
the boys dismissal from the institution.
The story is that, on Saturday night, a
week ago, number Of the senior class
carried, led or drove young Guernsey
bull, up flight of stairs and locked him
into one of the rooms In the dormitory
building and then went to bed. About
daylight the animal decided that it was
about time for his class to recite, and be-
gan to make his presence known in a
manner which interfered with the Sunday
morning nap of the students and faculty.
An investigation soon placed the RESPONSE
bility where it belonged, and the young
men were required to get the animal down
and to his legitimate quarters. This
wasn't an easy task, but after good
half-day's labor the work of the previous
night was undone. The boys decided that
the fun in the episode was all in getting
the animal up the stairs, for they had the
! alternative of getting the animal back or
being dismissed from the college.-Hart-
fora CourGaat.

rived. Week after next Stafford Springs

A large number of the attractions have
already been booked, but, as usual, the

the two st. Belmos, In their wonderful
double trapeze head, neck and toe drops
from top to bottom bar, introducing their
wonderful leap for life of ten feet, through
heart of fifteen daggers and twenty-five
electric fires, through paper balloons into
loop suspended from the sky.
Another attraction which Is expected
to please the people this year is the three
Rossi brothers. This trio of acrobats do
grotesque pantomime act, In which they
introduce some really difficult contortion
work. They have numerous accessories
in the shape of stage material, which con-
tribute materially to the laughter and ap-
plause with which their act is always re-
ceived.
