EMPIRE


 The greatest of all railroad photo dramas Rule G. a thrilling five part Paramount feature will head the program on Friday and Saturday at keeney's Empire theatre, the Home of First Run Paramount features. Rule G. briefly, was a rule adopted by the American Railway association, prohibiting the use of liquor by any of it's employees, upon penalty of dis missa1. This five part masterpiece of gripping situations and thrilling scenes was adapted from the story, Keeping John Bar1eycorn off the Trains 7 which appeared in the Satur- day Evening Post some months ago; written by Rufus Steele, a we'll known author. Without a doubt this pro- ductfon may be slated as the biggest and most thrilling story of the rail- roads ever attempted for screen pres entation. A number of other high ly interesting and entertaining null tipIe and single reel subjects will round out one of the most select pho topIay entertainments ever shown at this theatre.

 Big as Kangaroo.
 Is an escaped kangaroo roaming the wild and almost unexp1ored mountainous regions along the pie turesque Shepaug river in the once populous but now abandoned Wood vile section some six miles or so from Litchfeld, or is it an entirely new animal evolved perhaps from jack rabbits writes the Litchfie1d cor respondent of the Hartford Courant. That is the question that half a dozen isolated dweI1ers are asking again this winter, as they have been asking it for five or more winters, thus far without receiving any satisfactory re- ply The what-iS-it has been seen at a distance by many, but not near enough so that they could give a clear description of it. Its footprints, plainly outlined in the snow. have been found again during the winter and have been examined with great care The footprints in the soft snow were similar to a kangaroo's evident that about ten inches of the slender hind legs of the beast had come down also into the level of the foot On several occasions when the nondescript was seen, 1t appear ed to be about three and a half feet tall in an erect position, with short forefeet, which seemed to be used more as arms than feet

 A Bird Study Club.
 Norfolk has added another to the already somewhat numerous number of clubs which engage the attention of it's residents, old and young, the newcomer being a Bird Study club. The organization of the society was perfected Saturday by the election of officers as follows: President, H. W. Carter; vice president. Miss Jean cite P. Butler; secretary, Miss Mary c. Seymour; treasurer, Max Daepp. Among the matters brought out at the meeting was the fact that winter birds have rarely been so few about the houses, even attractively equip ped bird lunch counters failing to attract many visitors. Another was the marked absence of English spar rows from their usual haunts this winter and another was the report concerning a colony Of starlings which appeared for the first time in the winter of 1912-13, perhaps a dozen in number, and roasted at night with pigeons in the carriage house of Carl
