CANAAN TEACHERS MAY
 WELL FEEL PROUD
Of the Work Done This Year in the Public Schools by
 the Children of Canaan.

The exhibits made by the pupils of the Canaan public schools last Friday afternoon, were largely attended and were in every sense worthy. It speaks well for the faithfulness of Canaan teachers, from the beginning to the high school and through every grade. to have such meritorious results from the long and trying days they have taught the branches of their grade. A glance through the exhibits was well worth the time.
 First Grade Work
 In the first grade there are 40 pupils. Miss Gibbs is the teacher. The studies of this grade comprise arithmetic, be- ginning with addition, subtraction and multiplication; all Tn simple numbers. Spelling and freehand drawing and dictation in sentence building, are the branches taught in this grade, in their parliamentary forms. It is Miss Gibbs duty to so lay the foundation for future work in her grade, that as the pupil ad- vanoes to higher grades, he or she may

Knot Again.
 Connecticut law is in some things pe- culiar. One of its peculiarities Is that no clergyman may marry couple from another town unless the groom presents a license signed by the clerk of the town in which the marriage is to take place. Sometimes this brings about rather start ling and painful results, especially Ii the preacher chances to be a new conner and is unacouainted with the law, as hap pened to certain Litchfield county pas tor, who, while vouching for the truth of the story and acknowledging the'same to NEWS representative, is to modest to have his name used in connection with the experience, so the NEWS will have mercy on his modesty and he shall be nameless.
 Married on Wrong License
 The preacher. not long since, was visit ed by a young man and his blushing ln- tended and was asked to make them one. They lived in neighboring town and the license presented was duly signed by the clerk of that town, and apparently there was no reason why the ceremony should not be performed. The pastor donned his most dignifed clerical air and in a short time had made the happy couple man and wife. At least he thought he had.
 The Truth Revealed
 The bridal couple left for their we'd ding trip, and the pastor, pocketing @ substantial fee for his services, felt happy with himself and the world at large; felt happy until by chance he ran up against newspaper man next day to whom he gave the story of the wedding
 "WeIl, said the scribe, "You have got yourself in dandy fix, now.'
 ''How SOP" asked the startled parson
 "Why, these people live in another town andyou have married them with out licensefrom the clerk of the town in which you married them and have laid yourself liable to fine of $250."
 A Parsons Anguish
 At this revelation the parson began to feel the goose pimples rise. Visions of that $250 fine to be subtracted from the princely salary of country parson haunted him like Banqu0's ghost, and he started hot haste for the town where dw cit, as he supposed, the bride and groom. They were still absent on their honeymoon.
 Reunited at Last
 Returning home the parson chanced to call at the depot and there was the blushing bride and the happy groom, about to change cars for their return home To acquaint them with the fact that though married they were still single, was but the work of a moment, and shortly afterward the parson re- married the couple, whom the week before he had pronounced husband and wife. This time it was legal, for the husband bridegroom hustled round to the town clerks office and secured the license that testified to his right to be married in the town.
 Modesty Protected
 To protect the unfortunates from pub licity the NEWS has been asked to sup press the names, for the circumstances were of such an embarrassing nature that should the friends of either bride or groom get hold of the facts and con meet the incident with them, they would undergo no end of guying, so the NEWS will be merciful and refrain from giving them away.

CAUGHT "sQUAB" FOR BANQUET.
Harrington Professor and Doctor Treat
Literary Club.

Harrington, Kan, April 2s.-Perched
all night UP high in the top of the
five-story tower to the Harrington high
school, the superintendent of the city
schools, A. ]. McAllister, and prorni-
nent physician, DR.. Rooms, caught
enough pigeons to furnish the big part
of the menu of the Fortnightly club
banquet, which was held at the home
of S. P. ChiIds in this city last night.
The FortniShtly club is an organiza-
ton of about thirty Of the young liter
airy enthusiasts in the city, and it is
customary to hold a Dig banquet every
year. Just before the banquet last
night Superiut endent McAllister and
DR.. Rooms decided that with SQUAD"
the occasion would be complete.
The tower Of the high school build
ing has always been a favorite "tryst-
ing place of the pigeons in this vtcin-
ity and the professor and the doctor
conceived the idea of not only doing
away with the pest but giving their fell
low scholars a treat that would be
remembered for years All night long
they fought and scratched with the
wild pigeons and when the sun finally
climbed over the tall roof of the high
school building the successful SQUAD
bers'' climbed down from the belfry
and prepared their game.

evening would fly from the animals

to Mr.. Foxes, as he will not sell any

tunity to have been bitten and six of
the hogs that died were registered anti
mails

TO ABOLISH CONTRACT LABOR.
After Next Saturday Prison Labor Will
Not Hire for Private Concerns

Leavenworth, Kan, April 2s.-The abb
solute abolition of the contract labor
system at the Kansas state peniten-
tiary will date from next Saturday

manufactures expires. After that date
prison labor will not be hired to private
manufacturers, but the convicts viii
be employed directly by the state in
digging coal, and making binding
Irvine and brick.
The industries that will be carried on
by the state at the penitentiary will
not conflict with manufacturers in the
state. The brick and coal will not be
put on the market and there is no
binding Irvine factory in the state out
side the prison.
The contract labor system at the
state penitentiary has been in existence
since the prison was built so years ago
In that time wagons, buggies, harness,
furniture and overalls have been man
ufactured there by convict labor
The furniture factory, which was the
last to go excepting the overall factory
was closed in 1909 when its contract ex-
pired. At that time it was announced
that none of the contracts held by pri-
vate manufacturers will be renewed by
the board of directors.

asmuch as the wreck of his machine
after his previous attempt delayed the
renewal of the fight, and believing
| that Paulhan would not start until
Thursday morning, he went to sleep,
thus allowing his opponent to gain a
great advantage.
The news of the race spread like
magic in the towns and villages along
the railway which the aviators follow
