THE ITEM OF HOUSE RENT.
And the Handsome Residue It Left a
New Senator.

From Harper's Weekly.
Shortly after the opening of the last
Congress one of the new senators, a man of
very moderate means, began to look about
for a furnished residence which he desired
to lease for six years. Among the many
importunate owners there was a woman of
considerable wealth who logged the sena-
tors footsteps night and day to the end that
she might let him her elegantly furnished
mansion in the fashionable quarter Of the
capital.
Finally the senator consented to inspect
the place under the guidance of the lady
herself. When the two began discussion
as to the terms of the lease the owner said !:
Now my dear senator, l propose to lease
this house to you for mere song, as l am
anxious to secure a tenant who will see that
my handsome appointments are not dam
aged"
And how much, madam" queried the
senator, ARE you going to ask?"
"Forty-fve hundred dollars" calmly re-
sponded the lady, land at that figure it's
bargain"
Whereupon the senator of moderate means
iapsed into deep reverie After an embar-
RAISING silence the owner of the house said /:
why, what are you thinking of, sena-
tor?"
MY dear lady" replied the senator 81
was just wondering what in the event of
my taking your house, l should do with the
remaining $500 of my salary"

pleasure, and no doubt time will regis

SCHOOL SUPERVISION.

Bill Amending the Law in Regard to
& the Limit of Teachers.
A bill was introduced in the house
Wednesday. by Representative Bldwell
of East Hartford in regard to the
supervision of schools. 1t amends sec
ton of chapter 1875 of the public acts
Of 1903. That section permitted two or
more towns employing between twenty
five and fifty teachers to unite by vote
of the town school committee, board
of school visitors or board of education
to employ a superintendent of schools,
the towns to be a supervision district.
The school officers of each town appoint
one of their number a member of a
supervision committee, and this COM
mittee is joint committee on behalf
of the towns. Every district organized
is to continue three years, and then
any town may dissolve a district by
withdrawal.
The bill amends by making the
maximum limit 100 teachers instead of
fifty. It was referred to the committee
on education. 4 ...l-..-n.

ATTACKED BY A WOLF.
Fierce Battle in Snow Drifts Near
Sharon.

Sharon.
Sharon, Feb 10,-John Carley, a
carpenter, who was driving over from
West Cornwall with load Of lumber
Wednesday night, reports that he was
attacked by a half famished wolf and
for some minutes was. engaged in
fierce battle.
Mr.. Carley says that as he was go
ing through the woods between the
two towns he noticed a large animal
running ahead of the horses. He
thought it was fox, which was fol-
lowing the beaten path in the snow
AS he drove over the brow of the hill,
the wolf turned and attacked one Of
the horses.
Carley says he sprang from the
wagon and, without whip, or stick
of any kind, attacked the animal with
his feet. 1t was not until the wolf re-
peatedly sprang at him that he 'realiz-
ed the species of the animal. He says
he repeatedly kicked it in the head
and shoulders and SUCCESSFULLY kept
clear of it's fangs. The wolf sneaked
around the wagon several times, but
he always met it's on-rushes with a
blow. The horses exhibited great
fright The wolf finally ran away.
It had been reported in this section
a number of times this winter, espe-
cially in the valley between the two
mountains. The farmers have thought
that it had escaped from menagerie.
Mr.. Carley says that the wolf was very
thin and apparently not over strong,
which might have been due to its lack
of food
