Annual Meeting of Canaan Society to
 be Held Nov. Is.
 The annual meeting of the Canaan Choral Society will be held in Town Hall Wednesday evening, Oct.15. There will bs a soclal before the meeting and refreshments will be served All pres ent, past and prospective members are invited; also the husbands and wives of members and those who have been con- tributors to the support of the society. -
 The committee on entertainment con- sists Of Miss Considine, Mrs. Lee, Mr. and Mrs, George Hardenbergh, MT. Ad- ans and Mir. Vogel The committee on refreshments consists of Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. G. l.. Parsons, Miss Smith, Mrs B. A. Peirce and Mrs. Molando.
 The directors of the Choral Society held meeting Tuesday evening at Mrs. Camps. Several matters of importance were discussed. It was felt that, owing to the unprecedented loss of members this year. due to removal from town,' all singers in 'he town should make a spe- cial effort to join and thus support this organization, which means so much to Canaan. There has been a shortage of tenors, and as it is known that there are several young men in town who have tenor voices but who lack experience in singing the tenor part, and who for that reason have never joined the chorus, an arrangement was made with Mrs. Bull lock to conduct & class fer tenor singers from now until the chorus season be- gins, if such class could be formed. This would be without cost to those who join it, and would be rare opportunity of which it is hoped a number will avail themselves. This class would be of ben eft to present members as we'll as those who wish to join the chorus.
 Those wishing to join the class should notify E. 0. Gillette or N. w. Harden bergh.

born," chuekled Ives. quickening his gait.
 Gee r' said Roberts, excitedly, ''but that was quick work" %.>
 "I want you to understand that dogs got the keenest scent of any dog in the Commonwealth of Connecticut" ob- served the deputy sheriff, wisely, plod- ding along behind Ives.
 Toussaint said he didn t quite like the tune Tige was singing. That bark don't spell coon, not to me- he remark ed, dubiously. r-.
 In the meantime the two, Sweeneys. who had started on a run toward the dog, at the first bark, were issuing simul- taneous commands to the animal, which seemed to confuse him, for he stopped barking and came galloping back to the party, in response to the imperative order from either Tom or Tim: "Tige, you damphooll Come back herer r' e,
 The reporter timidly inquired if the coon wouldn't run away when the dog was called of, but Carroll Thurlough blurted out
 Coon Why, you chump; that's a skunk he was after.'' And as the dog approached, the pungent aroma that got there first proved that Thnrlough had made teetotal right smart guess.
 "Skunk?" repeated Roberts. "Wen, that's good joke on Tige." And Tige gave every evidence that he knew how to appreciate joke. He seemed to be just the tickledest dog ever. He stuck his nose in the ground, stood on his head and waved his feet in the air he laid down and wriggled and pushed him. self through the leaves, ploughing a furrow until he bumped his muzzle against tree, then he turned over on the other side and ploughed back, just to express his mirth.
 "What makes him do that?" asked the reporter.
 Instinct" was Toussaint's laconic reply.
 "Whew he's got it. all right" ob- SSTNS1 Iu0 SCT1D6. All GLllS GlLU0 Gu0 hunters were stepping back to get out of range of that awful smell. It was plain that Tige had not only met the skunk but actually shaken hands with 1t, and somebody remarked that Rhoades was right when he said Tige had remarka ble scent. He certainly had, just then.
 It was generally agreed, among the veteran hunters, that there was no use going any farther that night, looking for a coon, as the dog wouldn't be able to tell coon-track from a jug of molasses, with that odor following him; so the expedition sauntered sadly back to the cottage. where Miles and Herriman gave them sympathetic greeting, a place at the cheerful fireside, and the whole party passed a resolution accepting MT. Miles invitation to go over again, little later, and try it again.
 ! You bet we'll come,'' said Rhoades, 1 ''but hope you'll lock up your skunks i when we do.
