FRANCHISE PLAY
 MOST ARTISTIC YET GIVEN

Last evening at the Stratfe1d the annual play of the Alliance F'rancaise
 was presented before large and fashionable audience It was perhaps the greatest success that the dranatlc circle of the local group has yet at tained For while fully six plays have been given this is the first to be In costume and judged from the con tinuous laughter of the audience, the jokes were not only 1ully appreciated but were numerous.
 Before the play the Damoze1 quar- tette gave several. selections with vlo- lin solos by Miss Elsie Smith. Miss
 French songs, among them Massenet "ObstinatiOn.
 The comedy, 'Le Major Cravachon, . by Labiche was in costume of 1913.
 The scene is laid in a military for tress. M. Le Pienne Sequin as com
 mander, in uniform of the emperor
 guards, represented the blGseer1ng e ,g most of Europe and eaten horse meat | without salt. He tyrannized over his
 daughter, insulted her sultors ana ana
 with the greatest of dash and vio- fence.
 No less violent was M. Criepeau. He showed the greatest art in concealng his hot temper from the mayor, not thinking that the surest way to his heart and his daughters hand, IS by his interview with the fighting major, his attempts to hold in. were not
 humorous, being so well done with such clever facial expressions. 1 Miss Louise Gould played the diff cult part of the school friend dis guised as a hussar. Her stamping
 and bravada, proclaimed her an ac- I tress true to the life and easily able to deceive even the willy Cravachon | in spite of her smooth blonde wig. Her interpretation of the part was
 most artistic and adds another to her many clever inpersonations. Miss Aline Havard was the inno- l cent and ~repressed daughter with great success. She delivered her lines with a subtleness that brought every point home to the audience and her every intonation, in what might easily
 have been a color1ess part, produced continual bursts of laughter.
 M. Bissonnette had the small part of the notary but was very good in it.
 The main comedy part of the ser ! want of the major, rather stupid and boorish, was played by MT. H. J. Swami His continuous attempts to tell the story of his deaf uncle anus ed the audience as much as they an- noyed M. Dervieres who would have liked to find out more important mat terS
 This play marks the highest achievement of the dramatic circle.

PROPAGATION vs. IMPORTATION
 OF GAME BIRDS.
CHerbert K. Job. State Ornitho1ogist
 of Connecticut.)


 In Connecticut, as in numerous other States we have spent many thousands of dollars in importing for eign game birds, which have been dis tributed and liberated, with practi- cally no result. This is the nearly unanimous opinion of sportsmen of the State The successful introduc- tion of the China pheasant in Oregon is the one historic instance of suc- cess, and it has inspired false hopes and fruitless expenditures. An H. lustration of this is the utterly futile attempt, almost nation wide, to thus introduce the gray or Hungarian partridge from Europe. Occasion al coveys sometimes last a year or two, and a few broods of young are reared, as I myself have seen, but in end, hitherto, they have always dis appeared. A gentleman in New York City who has wide acquaintance in England says that even there they are obliged continually to restock the gray partridge, at big expense, in or der to keep it up on the preserves. It was right and proper for us to have

ADVICE TO BOYS AND GIRLS.

Save your pennies and send them to
the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because it wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and to have little
bank account of their own, even though
the initial deposit is the smallest pos
sible sum.
Children who commence an account on
penny, a nickel, or a dime, often grow
into capitalists later on.
The way to become a capitalist is to
commence now to save the pennies.
