three years ago provides that only
Europeans and the descendants OF
Africans shall be naturallzed, but
not until lately has the act been con-
strued according to the letter and
the spirit. 1t is said that the main
reason for the strict construction of
the law is to allay the irritation of
Japan, which feels that her sons
have been singled out for discrimin-
alton. 1t is within the jurisdiction of
the department of labor and COM
merce to revoke the naturalization
papers of all Asiatics who have been
naturalized since the enactment OF
the law three years ago, but such a
course is not anticipated.

Some of the Provisions Are Giving

The license feature of the game
law is causing bother to good
many sportsmen. Here is the law on
this point:
ANY person may hunt or kill any
game during the open season, when
it is lawful to kill game in the coun-
ty of his residence, or on land owned
or controlled by him without pro-
ducing hunters license; but they
must not hunt beyond the boundar-
les of their adjoining counties with

If the hunter lives in Ellis county
he can hunt in the following coun-
ties without a license: Hill, john
son, Tarrant, Dallas. kaufman,
Henderson and Navarro.
A hunter is allowed to shoot over
his own land, no matter in what part
of the state it is located, without a
license.
There are two kinds of hunter S
licenses, the non-county residence Ii

COMMON COUNCIL
Holds Final Meeting of Present Ad- ministration - Clearing Up City Business.

There was very little business to be considered at the last meeting of the common council as it exists today and the December session was one of the shortest of the year. Mayor J. J. Me- Garry presided and City Clerk Leon T. Wilson, Aldermen Smith, Joslin, Bro sdeur, Hawkins. Miner, Dumas and Tefft were present, '.-,'
 On motion of Alderman Dumas it was voted that the actual cost to the city of sprinkling the streets and high ways be borne by the owners of the property abutting the streets so water ed and that the abutters be assessed according to the street sprinklfng as- sessment rate for 1909.
 Alderman Dumas. superintendent of streets, reported that the surface water drain recently authorized at a special city meeting had been laid in Grove, Ring, Bradley, Freemont, Chapman and Arch streets; also that with the ex- ception of a little detail work the work had been completed.
 The appropriation for the improve ment was $1,500, Alderman Dumas re- porting that of this amount about $200 remains unexpended
 The regular monthly bills were pass ed upon and ordered paid. Among the bills for the month are Putnam Light and Power company ss31.93, R. B. Marriott & Sons s720.05. Wheaton Building and Lumber company S12l61, Putnam Water company S1,173.05. Jehn

The Lure of the Arctic.

It is evident that the attainment not to say the dual attainment-of the North Pole will not deter adventurous voyagers from making their way into the frozen wilderness on discovery bent. Professor McMillan of the Pea " expedition has decided to give up teaching, it is said, and devote himself to Arctic exploration as a life work. while Evelyn B. Baldwin has long cher ished a plan to drift across the un- known wastes north of Boring Strait regardless of the magical point at ninety degrees of latitude, and Captain Amundsen is preparing five year ex- petition with the same general end in view. Professor McMillan's first en- terprise will be the exploration of Crocker Land (incorrectly referred to in news despatch as Crockett's Land), the untrodden tract which Commander Peary thought he saw from the north west shore of Grant Land three years ago, and which Professor McMillan be- lieves Dr. Cook reached in 1908. With the age-long polar controversy settled and the absence of land at the top Of the world" determined, there is still much to see and do in the Arctic; in- deed, there are advantages in having this former problem solved and once for all put out of the way-Providence Journal

FROZEN TO DEATH.
Body of Unknown Man Found by Fox
 Hunter.

The body of an unknown man who was probably frozen to death was found by Dr. M. s. Warren Wednesday afternoon while he was out fox hunt
 ing. The body was that of man be- tween 55 and SO years of age and was discovered lying near cartpath in the woods, short distance from the Hygeia reservoir, near East Killingly. The man had probably been dead three or four days. pr. Warren conveyed information of the fnds to Danielson, and Dr. Rienzi Robinson, medical ex- aminer, viewed the body, after which it was taken fin charge by Louis E. Kennedy and is now at his undertak- ing rooms on Furnace street.
 There was nothing on the mans per son to establish his identity. The dead man is about five feet nine inches tall and weighs about 15e pounds. He has iron gray hair and thin whiskers. The man had no overcoat. His sack coat was of finest material and his trousers of dark stripe mixture. The coat bears the label of a Pawtucket firm of clothiers. His. hat is black derby and his shoes black and in fair condi- ton. Under the sack coat the man

She Hadn't Been Introduced.

It must have been a layman who told the story at the banquet of the laymen's missionary movement illus trating the formality upon which per- sons sometimes stand in the case of introductions.
 "A certain man residing in Bos- ton," he said had a daughter re- nowned for her wit and beauty and known for her hauteur. Father and daughter were staying in a prominent hotel at a popular New England sum- mer resort, and one evening when the father went from the dining room to look for his daughter he discover ed her standing on the piazza lean- ing over the railing and looking to- wards the sea- her waist encircled by the arm of a young man who was sharing with her the beauties of the sunset.
 Indignant and astonished, the father commanded in stern tones:
 Ethel, tell the young man to re- move his arm from your waistss
 The daughter turned her head to- wards her angry parent and replied in icy tones:

SHEA HELD IN s1,ooo BONDS.
Admits Now that He Did Not Coms
 from Norwich.

Michael Shea, the crook who was rounded up in Putnam by State Po- liceman Robert Hurley, on Tuesday evening, pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining money under false pretences in the town court of Killingly We'd nesday morning, and was held for the superior court by Judge Harry B. Back in default of bonds of S1,000.-
 MT. Shea has made a wonderful recovery from his various afflictions. He has also revised his claim as to his home city, telling Wednesday morning that his home is in Columbus, Ohio, and not in Norwich, as he said when arrested. That may be the truth and it may not be. The officers think not.
 Officer Hurley decided Wednesday morning to have Shea photographed, and took him to local studio for that purpose. Shea did not relish the idea a little bit and suffered a momentary return of the palsy that is a part of his stock of trade. This aversion to being photographed leads the officers to believe that the man is wanted somewhere. Shea was quickly per suaded that the proper thing for him to do was to keep quiet until his pie ture could be taken. Later in the morning he was taken over to the jail at Brooklyn, in charge of Deputy Sheriff Michael Grimshaw. He will remain there until the March term of the superior court.

Uncertainty as to the identity of the dead body of the man found in the pine woods near Wood River Junction has, been removed and the body identi- fled as that of Andrew Rogers, a resi- dent of Auburn, Mass. The articles found on and near the body were ex- amined Wednesday by Edward Rogers of Providence. a brother of the dead man, and by his son, Thomas Rogers. They agreed that the razor found by the dead man, and by which he took his life, and the pipe and other arti- cles belonged to Andrew Rogers and that the clothing was also of the same make and material as was worn by MT. Rogers.
 Andrew Rogers had worked in the Wyoming company's yarn mill at Wy oming and he had not been heard from since April. His relatives thought nothing out of the ordinary in that re- spect, supposing that he secured em- ployment in some other place and left Wyoming.
