the Connecticut senate from the eighth
legislative district, which embraces part of
the city of New Haven. and his friends say
he is destined to make his mark first in
state affairs and later in national matters.
State Senator Frank 8. Butterworth is a
fine specimen of physical manhood. He is
a graduate of Yale, and was noted foot
ball player on the Yale team for three
years. During one of these years he played
against the Harvard team when the pres

one of his friends remarked last evening
that his ambition is most likely to be graft

be occupying seat in the Capitol. Mr..
Butterworth said he had found but two

tives that We're familiar to him boy

fed on insects and often the adults eat
insects, worms and berries. The cone

and crushing the seeds. Some speci-
