CTS why chicken pc poisons people :? For instance, I ate a chicken pie i'll a restaurant and was fearfully sick at midnight; called a doctor, who said it was ptomaine poison. 1 got well and again tackled MT. Chicken, with the same result. This set me thinking. which is also dangerous symptom for nc, and I decided to buy another pie anu test the case. The result was the same. A friend of mine ate a chicken pie, took an automobile trip with ne and was deadly ill that night-not from the trip but the pie. Yesterday two of my party ate broiled chicken at hotel and both of us were sick last night.
 Now I am done with chicks, and I would like some doctor to tell us why it serves us SO? Are the chicks stale :? Have they been in cold storage to long A cook told me that barrels of chicks, sold to restaurants to make pies of, should be in the swill barrel. If so, where are the meat inspectors :"

Dinner at Si5O a Plate

Common people who are accustomed to attend ban4uets at winch the aver age cost plate Is from $2 to S4 prob ably will look with awe and maybe disgust upon the announcement that a 'swell affair" given at one of New York's most fashionable hotels cost $l50 plate. Covers were laid for 36 guests. The menu of the dinner was not made public, but suffice to say, It msut have been very elaborate one One of the most expensive items on the bill was the favors. These consisted of complete sets of golf clubs and balls in locked cases bearing the gold stamped initials of each guests name. The ice cream was served in plush boxes marked with each mans name, con- taining a little driving tee" a golf ball and caddie figure armed with a miniature driver.
 All of which must have been very pleasing to the guests and of great sat- isfaction to the host. But how much more satisfaction this same host might have obtained if he had been content to provide banquet just little better than the ordinary for his guests and donate the rest of the money that he felt he must spend to supplying plain and wholesome food to few of New York's hungry poor.-Hartford Post.

The Wurra Wurra Club

But after allr there was nothing in the situation to warrant further delay, so the meeting was called to order by the president, MT. Dr. Adam, who re. quested the members to attend strictly to business and cut out all joshery and foolishness. The roll was called by Norman Lawton, assisted by a mega phone for the benefit of Ed. Warner, who doesn't see very we'll yet; and the minutes of the previous meeting were played on a corn-popper by Al. Herri. man and unanimously approved. MT. Dewey Canfield then sang the Opening Ode, in pantomime, accompanied by Principal Strayer,. on his curriculum. And then, says you, there was some- thing doing.
 Chairman Adam asked if there were any committees to, report. He said that so far as he knew there had been no reports from the standing commit tees ill many moons, and he thought 1t about time to hear from them. There was what looked like preconcerted uprising of a dozen members, at once, representing various standing commit tees, all clamoring for recognition. The chair ordered them to resume their seats and take turns i'm reporting their reports, as they were called on.
 Chairman George Ford, of the com- mittee on jurisprudence, reported that suckers were biting we'll, in the Black. berry river last Sunday, and that justlce-of the peach x wes picking ul Ii little. Chairman Freeman Dempsey, of the committee on woman's rights reported that the streets would be oiled as soon as the bung of the kerosene barrel could be thawed out. Chairman sam Camp, of the finance committee, reported that q dangerous $20 bill was in circulation in New Mexico. Chair. man George Hardelbergh. ot the com mittee on moral character, reported that the righteous indignation of the people over the loss of billy cop was subsiding, and that the movies were not as demoralizing as they would be if they were censored.
 The fat member moved that the re- ports be held up till we have our minstrel show, am then put on in the openin' act.
 MT. Holsapple attempted to discuss the doings of the BusinessMe ems smck ar, wi N view to nominating Mir. Coiley for honorary membership, but some. body blew out the light just then and the meeting stood adjourned,

Problems s,

 When the hours of day are numbered And we're feeling about right, Having tatere1 and encountered Till our suTcingle is tight, And we settle down to reading In our latest magazine, Then our kids come in unheeding And across our shoulders lean. They have brung us all their troubles From the school house on the hill, And they bring them ill in doubles Just the way ones children will. There are problems about acres, There are problems about bones, There are problems about bakers, There are problems about Jones There are problems about women, There are problems about men, There are problems about swimnIin'. So they romp into my den. They must have definition For some triple jointed word, Also they come in a.wishin' I'd describe a dodo bird. When the daylight has skedaddled And I've read my magazine Problems soon have got me added, Got me added in thelbean. And when all the stunts are finished Then clasp my aching head; And, my comfort all diminished go mumbling off to bed. When the hours of day are numbered And the problems come to me, When I've tatered and cucumbered, wish I could climb a tree

The Silver Cornet Band,

When our towns silver corneE band comes marchin' down the street, All dressed ill gold braid uniforms, it su-ely is'a treat. The folks line up along the walks, and drink the music in, The boys take Susies "Stars and Stripes" and hit her up like sin. And every woman who has got some in that's in the band. Points him out to her neighbors and she says, My, ain't he grand r' The boys all march along like kings and hold their heads upright; They may be shy on music, but they sure look out of sight. The sour notes pass unnoticed and no one cracks a smile. Ken Hawkins on the slide trombone kin be heard for a mile, The bass drum is the only other thing that you kin hear, And there's no use of any other players bein' near. Somehow you never notice that the harmony ain't there; The folks don't seem to listen, but they only stand and stare. The music is of doubtful sort, we must perforce agree But it's the finest LUOKIN' band that we have ever seen.

Three Times t,5oo Deer Killed.

The report of deer killing received at the office of the superintendent of fisheries and game, Monday brought the number of deer killed in the state since the new law went into effect last August up to I,50O. It was the opinion of Superintendent Crampton that the number reported represented only one.third of the actual number killed. There has been for the past week q marked decrease in the number slaughtered and MT. Crampton at. tributed this to the difficulty which people who killed the animals for food had in keeping the flesh un- tainted in warm weather.
 In the opinion of Mr. Crampton, the present law was not working satisfac- torily. It permitted the slaughter of the deer on a scale not contemplated by the legislators, he thought It was necessary to amepd the law 80 as to put a stop to the indiscriminate slaughter of the animals aud also to put an end to the cruelty practiced in hunting them.

DISMAL UNCLE HORACE.

Uncle Horace Johnson, the un- quenchable seer of Haddam, is taking time by the forelock and breeding trouble for the race six months ahead. In his latest proclamation he prophecies another severe, cold and hard winter, and virtually promises famine condi- tions. The growing season will be short. and "there will be a short supply of water for soil and stock" He ad- monishes mankind to "watch we'll your crops; let nothing go to waste-ali will be needed" Uncle Horace prom ulgates his dismal prophecies more and more cheerfully as he hears his century mark.

 These increases in prices which have been made from time to time after any increase in the cost of getting the coal from the earth into the bins of the con-, sumers have always been out of propor- tion to the rise in cost to the operators.

' he Music Shed.

Oh, Music Shed, now Sacred Shrine, Hallowed spot, yea, cen divine: The Canaan hills conceive your birth, A New Jerusalem on Earth. Safely sheltered by yonder hills, Where Phoebus' parting glory thrills All at the waning of the day, By flaming torches down your way. Heaven over you is arching; Phoebus ani Luna cen marching; Venus gazing with loving care, And Mars is guarding everywhere. Welcome is proclaimed all around By every flower on your ground, Which bids us come and enter in, And rest from all the cold worlds din. Your pansies, like the Knights of old, Pose there in armaments of gold, And whisper what your host would say In a nodding swing, it's roundelay. 1 The pulsating Flower of Song, ] With it's vibrating buds along, You've banked within your sacred hall And even now we list its call. MelOdy, made Dy sOngsters sweet, From year to year us do you greet; Fills us with heavenly peace, <, And disquieting thoughts surcease. Your sweetest madrigals resound Its sott melodies all around; l Up where myriad stars, now hoary, Vie with moon and sun in glory. Your music, swirling everywhere, Far from all the breath of care Into the vast abyss above, Opens the Gate of Heavenly Love. Reaches the place it did aspire, Iris echoed by the Divine Choir. Gods benediction rest on you, AS you your work this year renew!

Polite Fiction.

The great authors tavorite hero gazed upon the favorite heroine with the hideous ferocity of real love. "Yon cannot refuse me-" he sniffled. My love is too great to be resisted"
 She sneered "That is a mere epi- gram"
 An epigram is an eternal crystal ization of the truth"
 ooh. no. An epigram is lie so we'll said that we wish It might be truth.
 He began biting his nails in triumph. "You must admit then that you at least wish my love could overpower you.
 '<I admit nothing" She was cryptic mysterious, wonderful. "The price of admission is more than I can pay"
 He spoke like a man gone broke with great emotion. Have you ever thought what life would be without me -
 "Often. It is my fondest dream. !"
 You dismiss me then ?'' No. 1 marry you. That's the end of the story and l get rid of you"
 The hero laughed pitilessly. You cannot escape me so easily. We shall meet again in our authors next story. He cannot get along without us. T suppose we must expect that. But at least we may be strangers for a few hundred words before we begin this sort of thing all over again. I have only one hope"
 You hope you may some day learn to care for me ?'' Never I hope our author may get a really new idea and chuck both of us forever. She resumed her pose of naughty incompatibility and the story went on.-Judge.

Lambasttng the Editor.

The failure, due possibly to sudden attack of modesty. of Professor Yandell Henderson, of the Yale Medical school, to present for the consideration of the New Haven chamber of commerce q rebuke to the government for seeking the protection of human lite by direct means rather than by indirect means, and the consequent explosion of the whole movement, recalls the immortal poem:
 "The noble Duke of York,
 He had ten thousand men,
 He marched them up the hill one day,
 again.
 And when they were up,
 They were up. up, up,
 And when they were down,
 They were down.
 But when they were in the middle
 They were neither up nor down."
 We are sorry in this connection that a man who has eaten up so much space in the newspapers of New Haven as Professor Henderson has should have evolved such FOOT opinion of editors. God knows they have hard enough time in this whirligig of world with out incurring his displeasure. They are too humbled not to feel the shock of it; too proud to fight back. They can merely hope in the future to be less critical when public improve. ments" are recommended, and not to be too tinicky in choosing between i'm. provements which are improvements and improvements which are merely thought to be improvements. We find ourselves thrust back upon the assur. ance given the Foot Guards at their annual banquet by Dean Jones of Yale college, that there are professors who say what they think without thinking what they say.

To Our Friends on the Outside.

The inmates of the Connecticut Re- formatory spend an hour or two nightly in our library. Some read to pass time away, some read solely for the enjoy. ment it affords, but most of them read for the knowledge it brings to them. But our greauest trouble is that there & not sufficient reading matter to satisfy the demands, ot ths fnlnates. There is nothing of greater benefit to the in- mates than books. Perhaps some of our outside friends have few old books or magazines that are not in use, and that they can spare We are sure the boys in here wonld welcome them with delight.
 If you have any oid books or maga. ziues that are OF n0 use to you, please seDd them to us. Our Superintendent, Dr. Charles Fl. Johnson, will he glad to pay the express charges If you will send them to as.

The esteemed Winsted Citizen

The esteemed Winsted Citizen is pondering a perplexing problem:
 Evidently the liquor business is not as profitable in Winsted as has been supposed. One very prominent citizen at the license hearing last fall was sure that there was a demand for another saloon in Winsted in order to accom- modate the patrons. The attachment closing the saloon in the Canty build, ing indicates that this prominent citi. zen was wrong. We wonder if it is the increased license fee that has been the cause of this failure, or the competi- tion which is said to have resulted from the patronage given the ''moyies" which has closed many saloons in other places.'
