Secretary of Interior Lane Appoint
Woman to Land Office

Woman to Land Office
Secretary Lane has appointed a
woman as receiver of the land office
at Leadville, Colo. at a salary of
$4,000 year. In making the appoint
ment Secretary Lane said: 81 am glad
to name Mrs. Rogers, because it is an
established fact in the United States
that money can be handled more safe
ly by women than by men"
Why women treasures as a class
have a high record for integrity may
be due to training rather than inner
ent honesty, but the point to be noted
is, that all their faithfulness in deal
ing with trust funds, fails to secure
them $4,000 jobs in states where they
have not the vote. Among the thou
sands of women stenographers in
New York state are many clever ac-
countants of high character, but who
ever heard of any of them being nam
ed for a 5000 political job?
Being a suffragist does not lessen
my enjoyment of this story from Cal
ifornia:
Wife: MY dear, I registered today
and told him | was thirty-six."
Husband. You know you are forty |
four. Haven't you any sense of hon
orr"
Wife: Yes, know it was horrid, !!
but I'll straighten it all out I'll go
down and tell them that in my con-
fusion l gave my bust measure"

A flock of bluebirds was seen We'd nesday in evergreen trees on Pine Tree farm, near the Taftville road, bluebirds were also seen and heard on the New London turnpike. The northern shrike has come recently to a farm on the Scotland road. The farmer there says it is sometimes called the butcher bird because it impales it's prey on sharp projections and then tears it to pieces, and that it feeds on little bluebirds, but largely on English sparrows It also eats insects, grasshoppers and lizards.
 The shrike is a large bird, as large as a robin. The breast is barred. the song variety of whistles. A northern shrike stayed all one winter in the New Haven railroad station and sub sisted on English sparroWs,
