For Little Folks
SAMMY'S CIRCUS DAY.

Sam was a grocery boy and drove
the wagon to deliver pies and other
good things to the peoples homes.
But he did not like the job bit. For
he was fond of marbles and ball, and
when there was a game in town it
seemed simply awful to have to trot
Ben around from door to door and lug
in stupid baskets of cabbages and
meat But it seemed as if there was
no help for it.
But he took out his disappointment
in mean way. Every chance he got
he would worry Ben, and set the dog
on the cat, and when he got home he
spent his time teasing his sisters and
=. baby brother till the whole family was
glad when he was away.
In May the big circus came to town.
Sam stopped his wagon to see the
gilded cages go by and the camels
swinging along behind. When ne got
hack to the store and found he had to
deliver some pies at the cook tent at
the show he was wild with delight.
So putting old Ben into gallop he
sped out to the grounds.
II was hot and dusty and the air
was full of every kind of noise. The
smell of sawdust and animals, PINK
lemonade and peanuts, hot sausage
and straw rose on the warm breeze
Sam ierked the box Of pies into the
cook tent, then stole into the menas
o.;o wbere the beasts were eating their
dinner But he soon got tired OF
watching that, and began to tease

Ninety-seven per cent of the worlds
inhabitants are brown-eyed. Poets are
fond of attributing to the human eye
almost as wide variety of colors as
the rainbow, but in reality there are
only two colors of eyes, light and
dark. What seems to be the blackest
eyes are dark brown with extremely
wide pupils the next blacklist are
gray fiecked with brown, and the next
are pure steely gray.

The feat of making a watch in a
pearl has been accomplished by a
matchmaking firm at Chaux de Ponds,
Switzerland. This wonderful watch,
the only one of its kind in the world.
is contained in pearl which weighs
as grains and has diameter of about
half an inch. 1t took an employe of
the firm fifteen months to hollow out
the pearl and fit the wheels. The
watch. which is to be worn as ring

land will have to retrench after the
war, not increase his expenditure. No,
the superfiuous woman will have to
find an outlet-and a husband-in
those far countries where she will not
be placed on the reserve list, as it
were, but, owing to scarcity of her fair
sex, can go into matrimonial action at
once.
Besides, how could polygamy, even
If we had it, satisfy the modern girl?
1t isn't third of man she will con-
sent to accept surely, considering how
low, seemingly, she rates the whole
of him as an asset to the nation and
herself.
Il say seemingly, because I can't
help noticing that in the most feminist
gathering, supposing by any lucky
chance of accident there happens to
be man about, there is always gen.
eral rally in his direction, an almost
forceful attempt to focus his sole at
tention."
The question of polygamy can, of
course, never be seriously treated in
England. There are few fanatics
who are advocating it heart and soul
as fitting solution to woman's prob
lens after the war shall be over, but
nobody pays any attention to the IA
natics, and they can talk on un.
needed.
Every woman who feels matrimon'
tally disposed naturally wants to have
the object of her affections all to her
self. l should imagine that in those
portions of the earth where polygamy
reigns supreme there is much face
scratching and hair-pulling and fur
flying among the gentler sex. The
husband may have the Joy of knowing
that he is sole lord and master oi
these fair ones. But at the same time
his life is not dream of unmitigatet
bliss. Doubtless he has the unpleas
ant task of acting as arbitrator in the
harem from early morn to dewy eve
supposing he gives up much Of his
time to the harem, which very mucl
doubt. For after all one woman i.
quite sufficient for any mere man tt
get along with, and he fees from ;
bevy of women as bird out of tn,

THE COMMON COUNCIL
Report of Committee Regarding As
sistants in Engineers Office
May Be Rejected.

Unusual interest is being expressed
IN the monthly meeting OF the COM
mon council tomorrow night as 1t is
expected that some Of the members
will attempt to upset the report OF the
committee on salaries regarding the
increases given to assistants in the
office of the city engineer. Oddly
enough the dissatisfaction is because
Of the small increases granted. The
decision Of the committee to grant
SIS monthly additional TO the assist
ants has caused general laughter and
it is expected that an attempt will be
made to raise the ante
Another salary matter that may be
disposed Of is that Of the remunera-
ton Of Sanitary Inspector O'Brien.
Al the February meeting Mayor Qu1g-
ley voted twice and passed the in
crease in salary from S720 to 5000.
He later vetoed his own action and
the veto was accepted, the original re-
port of the salary committee being
laid on the table for week. 1t is
whispered that the increase will be

Zebris and his housekeeper given by
me on February 16.
II gave to Captain Thomas Grace
! and Andrew Richardson of the New
Britain police department Informal
ton that had come to me wherein 1
was sure said information, If fol-
lowed up, would find at least one of
the murderers. I told them where
one of the men, Kelley or Krakas,
was boarding and why I thought he
was connected with the murder. Cap
tain Grace Immediately after I gave
him this information hurried to the
police station and inside Of thirty
| minutes after i told him officer Ma
lone of the New Britain police de-
partment and Officer Fisher of the
state police called at the address 1
gave them, No. 33 Spring street,
where Kelly or Krakas was board
ing. ,-
81 learned afterward that Fisher
and Malone went upstairs where
Kelly Or Krakas was boarding. Kelly
was out somewhere and after Of
ficers Fisher and Malone interviewed
the boarding mistress they went away.
Failed to Search Effects.
Now I make the claim that the
information I gave Captain Grace
and Officer Richardson in regard to
Kelly being one of the murderers was
correct and if the officers who called
at the house, Fisher and Malone, had
done their duty and searched Kellys
effects, evidence would be found that
would prove beyond a doubt he was
one OF the murderers.
II have learned since that Kelly
came in about ten minutes after the
officers had gone and on being in
formed by his boarding mistress that
the officers had been there, he imme-
diately proceeded to pack his suit
case and got out.
Z, This clue and the evidence I gave
the officers would have secured the
conviction of the murderer if the Of
ficers had not erred in not waiting
until he returned or at least have
searched his effects.
II would be pleased to see you at
any time you may say If you would
care to hear where and how I got
my information connecting Kelly with
the murder.
Il have placed my claim in the
hands of Attorney Joseph G. Woods
he thought I had good claim on the
reward.
Hoping that you will give this
your attention, I am
