WHY THE CANARY X BIRD DIDN'T SING

Waterbury comes to the front with a rather amusing story as an aftermath of the Danbury fair, and shows how much reliability can be placed on fair pur- chases. A young girl from that city had been over to the big Danbury show and there bought handsome canary bird. Returning home on the special train she met another Waterbury girl who, liking the canary's appearance, bought the bird, paying $3 for it.
 The bird didn't do any singing coming over, but neither young lady minded this. The bird would sing all right, they thought, and besides it was such a pretty bird.
 When the special arrived in Water bury, the smoke and soot from the engine had soiled the little canary's beautiful coat so that when the owner of the bird got home she immediately prepared to give birdie bath.
 Very, very carefully she spread water upon the canary's wings, and just as carefully wiped the dust and dirt off the pretty bird. But the young woman noticed that the color was coming off with the dirt. Soon the water became 8 beautiful yellow. And after the bath was over the bird wasn't any canary at all. The washing had turned the beauti- ful canary into a common, ordinary sparrow, otherwise chipping bird
 And then father was told about it and the other morning he met the father of the other young woman and presumably demanded the return to hls daughter Of the $3 that she had given the daughter of the other man in payment for the bird. At any rate there was long argu- mnnt and as 8 result there may be business for the courts.

law, which provides that a child shall attend school for seven years-from the ages of seven to 14-whereas our school courses are eight or nine years in length. Another cause is that our courses of study have unoonsciously been fitted to the needs of the bright rather than the average child, which the course of study does not 1t.
 Another cause is irregular attendance, and here the parents are more responsible than the schools. In few American cities are as many as three-fourths of the school children actually present in school as much as three.fourths of the time, Another cause is that our school courses ars better fitted to the abilities of our girls than they are to those of our boys.
 Almost everywhere throughout the country as we'll aS throughout the state of Connecticut there are more backward children and more repeaters among tie boys and more of them fall out of school without graduating.
 The girls progress faster and fail less often and more of them complete the course. Another cause is physical de- fectiveness. About one-sixth of the children who leave school do so on account of i'll health, Children with bad teeth take half year longer to get through the elementary schools than do those with good teeth. Children with adenoids take a year and tenth longer than do those without adenoids. a.
 Dr Ayeres believes the solution for problems in this situation lies first in learning the facts about present con ditions; secondly in cooperation between school authorities, teachers and parents; and thirdly in keeping track of each individual pupil from the time he enters school to the day that he graduates,

MAILING AN ASSURE
 POLITICAL LIE

At the annual stockholders meeting of the New York, New Haven 6 Hart. ford railroad recently. J. Maxcy Hitler, of New Haven, one of the stockholders, publicly asked President Mellen if there was any ground for reports that the rail. road was mixing up in the present poli- tical activities. He said he had heard that J. Henry Roraback, of North Ca- naan, had received $50, ,0OO to $40, 900 for political work and Robert Eaton about $5,0Oo. He wanted the president to make clear the attitude of the road on politics. He said, further, that he had found in the legal expenses one item of payment to MT Ohoate, of Boston, which was big sum for New Haven lawyer, but probably was all right in Massach- usetts, when the troubles of the road there are considered.
 He said that these stories of the roads use of money hurt the stock and injured the road. He wanted it understood that the road belongs to the masses and not to the classes. The railroad is an honest corporation, he said, but it is also one of the heaviest taxed corporrtions He said that it had been remarked that he (Hiller) could always be depended upon to provide the fireworks. He was perfectly willing to give fireworks if the atmosphere was cleared by this means.
 MT Melen then denied that the road contributed any money to political par ties. "The New Haven road," he said "does not put up money for any such purpose. If MT Mellen or any director makes a contrib1tion it is purely per sonal matter. 1he eroad is not interested ill any mans candidacy."

 In removing the numbers, the doors were considerably marred. and the whole upper part of the hotel was left in 8 con fused mass of broken bottles and rubbish and damaged furniture. It was not un- til the crowd had left town on the morn ing train that the condition of affairs was made known to Landlord Baker.
 AS soon as he learned of the mischief and the damage done, he called up the Kent School, and informed the principal of what the boys had done. One of the young men was called to the telephone and sought to explain that they had removed a few door numbers and would return them by mail at once. MT Baker informed them that he should expect an immediate settlement from them for all damage done, aggregating in the neigh borhood of $50.
 He gave them limited time in which to square the matter under the penalty of sending the sheriff down to Kent with instructions to arrest every boy in the bunch and have them brought be- fore the court on a charge of malicious mischief. The boys said they would talk the matter over and would later let MT Baker know what they would do.

UNEARTHED BONES
 REVEAL MURDER

New Britain authorities are called up- on to solve mystery with the finding of the skeleton of woman in a thick growth of underbrush at the end of Os- good Avenue, about on the Pennington line. The bones were covered over with leaves. The indications were that they had lain there there for two or three years. There was no trace of anything in the way of clothing, but there was a pair of women's shoes, which were ex- ceptionally well preserved.
 The only article which might lead to an identification was cheap metal pin with the design of an eagle.
 The skeleton was found by two hunt CTS, Daniel and Charles Rivers.
 Medical Examiner Wright was of the opinion that the skeleton was that of woman about 35 or possibly 40 years old He commended upon the unusually large size of her head. That seemed to be the only conspicuous feature.
 Peter Maurey who lives near ths place where tee skeleton was found, recalls having seen two men and woman en- ter the Dead Swamp woods about three years ago, The men came out, but the woman was never seen to come out.
