Job Had Fine Success.

The expedition to Northern Manitoba, conducted by Herbert K.Job, state orni- thologist of Connecticut in cooperation with the United States government to continue investigations into the propa- gation of wild fowl, has returned and re- ports success in it's mission. A large number of the young wild ducks hatch. ed out by MT. Job were transferred at Canaan depot few days ago, and attract ed no little attention.
 From the latter part of May until its time of departure for home last week the party was camped on the shore of Lake Winnipegesls. a wilderness of mus keg and poplar forest, abounding in moose. deer, wild fowl, grouse and many other sorts of game and fish. Un- der permit from the Canadian govern ment, about 200 young wild ducks of ten species, which were mostly matched in brought out and most of them safely landed In Connecticut. The species specially sought was the canvasback, of  which a considerable number were raised, the other kinds obtained being the red head, lesser scaup of broadbill, golden eye or whistler, pintail. mallard, Gadwall, Shoveller, or spoon bill. green winged and blue winged teals, and also the American coot or mud hen. The hatch averaged 92 per cent. exactly the same as on the expedition last year. A great amount of valuable data and hundreds of interesting and novel photo graphs were secured, amid exciting and dangerous adventures.
 The expedition comprised the party of A. c. Bent of the Smithsonian h. stltution, Washington. who is preparing the government work on Life Histories of North America Birds" F. s. Hersey of Taunton, Mass. assisted ill the latter work, while George Curtiss Job of the senior class at Yale assisted in wild fowl research.

Stop Thief" at Mahaiwe Tonight.

stop hlef at MahaIWe ! onIght.
 "Stop Thief" is the unusual title of a new and funny farce that Conan 6 Har- ris will present at the Mahaiwe Theatre, Great Harrington, tonight.
 The story of "Stop Thief" has to do with William Carr, a millionaire several times over who is kleptomaniac His immediate family know of this morbid inclination to steal and are constantly worried for fear the closely guarded secret will'be discovered. The million aires daughter is engaged to be married and her intended husband, though she is ignorant of it, is also a victim of the same morbid mania that possesses her father.
 Carlyle Moore, the author, has shown consumate skill in devising situations that seem to defy solving. He succeeds in accomplishing the result, however, and his manner of doing it is productive of number of thrilling climaxes, dramatic surprises and much hearty | laughter.

Speed

Balancing all the different accounts of the automobile accident at Hartford in which George M. Cohan. Wallace Eddin. ger and others figured, and in which Mir. Cohan's daughter was badly injured, it is clear that the cause of this smash, as of so many others, was speed.
 Speed and the desire for more speed turned the powerful car to the left to pass another speeding automobile. Speed made it impossible to stop the car in time when a heavy cart came out of a heavy cart came out of a lane. Speed hurled the car with terrific force and landed it upside down in the ditch. Without speed none of these things would have happened.
 Yet speed goes on claiming its victims day after day. Even deaths objectI les sons fail to do the work they ought Boston Post.

STUDY THE GAME LAWS
Canaan Fisherman Caught by Warden
 Shine Taking Short Bass.

Canaan Fisherman Caught by Warder
 Shine Taking Short Bass.
 AS ignorance of the law excuses nc man" it behooves all who hunt or fish whether much or little, to familiarize themselves with what is legal and illegal in these lines, that they may shield them selves against trouble which might come to them unawares. It is not pleasant to be arrested for the violation of law which would not have been violated had you known the deed was illegal, and the plea of ignorance of the law has been too much overworked to have much weight with an officer who finds you with the goods"
 County Warden O. Nj. Shine has learn. ed, the past week, that the number of people who are ignorant of the fish and game laws, in this section, is legion, and even many of our local fishermen have mistaken ideas of the nomenclature of certain common fishes of our native wa ters. While this may not appear to some to be important in the matter of keeping within the law, it proved so with cer- tain man in this town last Thursday, when he was held up for catching and having in his possession black bass less than the minimum legal length of eight inches, because he thought it was solne- thing else, and was disappointed CD be- cause his arrest was not for having two s'striped bass" as he called them, when he was told that they were several inches under the minimum legal length for striped bass.
 AS matter of fact, the striped bass is saltwater fish, and unknown in our local waters, while "rock bass" (the kird the fisherman had) are plentiful here, and not protected by law. The large mouth black bass tor Oswego bass) is all so plentiful here and very commonly called striped bass, because of it's one conspicuous medial line extending from head to tail This fish differs much from the striped bass, ill that the latter has several distinct stripes and is much larger fish, often weighing over twenty pounds.
 The minimum legal length of striped bass (salt-water) is twelve inches, while that of the large-mouth black bass is eight inches, and the rock bass (of the sun-fish family is too common and in- significant to be recognized by law.

Connecticut Suffrage News.

One feature of suffrage work in this state is the increasing degree to which il is becoming interwoven in the national suffrage movement. Not only have Connecticut Suffragists saken a warm interest ill the happenings of the suf. frage states and in the campaigns which are going on to gain the vote for the women of New York, New Jersey and the Western states where constitutional amendments are pending, but the work at Washington is continually assuming a greater importance in the eyes of the women who are working for the vote all over the United States. The excellent work that is being done by Miss Alice Paul ill calling the attention of Congress to the demand of the women and in winning over the Congressman has seized the imagination of the women of the state. The leagues all over Con. necticut are becoming enthusiastic for this national work and the services of such speakers as Mrs. Taylor, of Nor folk, and the Press Secretary, Mrs. Edward Porritt, are ill demand to ex- plain to the league members just ex- actly what the constitutional amend ment will effect and how it can be car ried and become part of the United States Constitution.
 It was with great joy that the Con. necticut suffragists welcomed Miss Emily Pierson back to the state last week. Miss Pierson has been on a some- what extended vacation through July and August. She chose Colorado for this vacation, because as rest was es- sential she had to find either a place where woman suffrage was never heard of or one in winch the question was finally settled in the only way in which such a settlement eau be made.
 The Connecticut Woman Suffrage As sociation is planning to hold its annual convention on the final days of October in Hartford. The National American Woman Suffrage Association, of which the president is Dr. Anna Shaw, will meet in annual convention in Washing ton just month later.
