Mexico's Goat.

To get your goat in Mexico has no meaning other than to lay unlawful hands on the quadruped. The goat is to Mexico what the sheep Is to Aus. tralia and beef to old England. aud more, because it is both meat and drink. The republic of bulltightS and bandits could not get along without the humble little animal we have al ways associated with Harlem back yards and a diet of tin cans. It's flesh sells at II cents a pound. MeXi- can money, and steaming stew of tender young kid is not to be despiSt.d d by hungry man. Every Mexican hotel serves goat meat in some form or other. A fat goat sells for $3 on the hoof, and a lean one brings only $1.5O. The tallow sells at 12 cents q pound and is commonly used in place of lard. The skins are worth $l.50 each, and the milk retails at 121a cents a quart.-New York Press.

Parrots and Trees,

There seems to be a species of par rot adapted for each of the more con- spicuous kind of trees which are found in tropical forests. Thus, if the tree Is a palm which has a single stem and can afford nOurishment for bird only at or near the top of that stem, then the species of parrot that feeds on it is an air biEd, capable of flying over the forest in search of such trees When this Is the case the body of the bird is light and the tail long. On the other hand, the parrots which inhabit trees with many branches have stout bodies and short tails and are short flighted.

"Stop Thief"

Cohan and Harris will present their latest farce success "Stop Thief" at The Mahaiwe Theatre Great Harrington on this Friday night Nov. 29th.
 The piece is by Carlyle Moore, who has chosen for his theme kleptomania. The play is in three acts and is replete with comedy of farcical and hilarious character. There are two kleptomaniacs and genuine crook in the farce and the plot is of decidedly original and ingen- ious character. One of the klepto- maniacs is millionaire and the other is his prospective son-in-law. The brlde- elect has been the recipient of a number of costly wedding presents, and the groom, unable to check his natural pro- pensity to appropriate them, engages a detective to check his propensity. The bride to be knows that her father is a kleptomaniac, but is ignorant of the fact that her future husband is also.
 A new maid smuggIes real thief into the house, and the plot becomes very
 
 thief is prepared to carry off all the valuables in sight, when he is discovered by the prospective bridegroom, who mistakes him for the detective he has hired. The real thief is introduced as the personal friend of the groom and proceeds to appropriate the yaluables at his leisure, while the disappearance of the gifts is accounted for by one or the other of the kleptomaniacs. The po- lice are finally called ln to investigate matters and the appearance of the blue coats in the second act precipitates any amount of thrills. One article after an other disappears in a most mysterious manner, and in the search for the real culprit many exceedingly comical situ- atiOns are presented which are provo cative of hearty laughter.
 The cast of "Stop Thief" includes {: Mary Ryan, Ruth Chester, Vivian Mar tn, Louise Woods, Maude P. Terrell, Frank Bacon, William Boyd, Harry Hilliard Elmer Booth, Clyde Hume well. Robert Cummings, Thomas Find lay and others.

a Good Excuse.

After the Duke of Wellington's vic torious campaigns the University of Oxford complimented the duke him. self and his principal officers by con ferring upon them the honorary and not very appropriate degree of doctor of civil laws. At that time the fees were heavy. and one of the distinguish ed soldiers who had gathered more honor than profit in the wars declined the proffered degree in the following verse:
 Oxford, I know you wish me well,
 But prithee let me be.
 I can't, alas, be D. c. l..
