CRITICIzES BANDS
 FOR CONCERT MUSIC
Hart Finds Fault With Programs
 Of Popular Music

The New Britain Musical club ob- served its fifth anniversary last night with banquet and dance at the Bur- ritt hotel which was declared by the members to have been the most suc- cessful and enthusiastic of any held by the club in its five years existence. There were about 15 members and guests present.
 The evenings program opened with banquet at about 7:30 o'clock, after which members of the club and of the New Britain Choral society gave short talks. Theron w. Hart, the first speaker to be introduced by Toastmaster Fred c. Latham, gave an outline of the history of music in New Britain, and spoke of the progress the musical club has made since its or ganization. ...
 He spoke Of the great good the musical club and the New Britain Choral society could do fin the line of developing musical culture in New Britain, and said that to do the most along that .ine. there was need of hearty cooperation between the two clubs. He said that there is a great number of people in New Britain who are lovers of artistic music but they have not had the opportunity to de- velop musical culture. It is for the purpose of giving local people the op- portunity 10 hear the premier artists of the world and making them ac- auainted with masterpieces of music that the musical club is in existence, he said.
 Criticizes Band Concerts
 He criticized the music played at the local band concerts, saying that land concerts afford a wonderful op- portunity to create an interest in real artistic music, but that this fact is not taken advantage of. Instead, Mir. Hart said. the only pieces that are played are the latest song hits of the day.
 A membership drive for 400 asso- ciate members for the club was an- nounced by Philip B. Smaller, secre- tary of the club. He outlined the plan drawn for a membership drive and said that teams and team captains would be appointed 10 start the drive in the near future, He said that the

PIucky Woman Farmer.

CART feld county lays claim to the
champion woman farmer, all things

has carried on" her farming opera
lions on what is known as the Mark
ley farm, west of Jordan, with the
following result: SO acres of flax, 80
acres of wheat, 20 acres of oats and
still plans so more acres in flax.
More than year ago, Mrs. Eby's
husband died, leaving her with the
farm and equipment and little else
with which to cope with the world
Besides were two children to keep in
school. Then came another great
misfortune when fire swept the build
ings on her farm taking furniture
and personal effects.
With faith mistaken in the future
of this county, Mrs. Eby recuperated
a portion of her financial loss by en-
ployment secured in Roundup and
and put in a crop. And then came a
crowning streak of bad luck when a
bank failed with the few hundreds

cutting the first crop of alfalfa hay

of the factors which determine, to a

The one important factor which
makes alfalfa seed high-priced, is the
uncertainty of the seed crop.

OUTLAW Queen Could Be
All Feminine at Times

Belle Starr, outlaw queen Of the old
days in Texas and Oklahoma, wore her
hair short and was particularly sweet
to women, says the Detroit News. She
lived for years on the proceeds Of loot
and lined up gang Of the meanest-
looking, hardest curslng, widest riding
and shooting hard-boiled customers In
her particular parts of the COW coun-
try.
She used to call at women's houses
on her way home from leading her
band on a robbery, and she would talk
feminine things with them, sing re-
liglous songs and tell stories to the
children.
Several stories are told of the way
Belle Starr met her death. The gen.
orally accepted one is that she was
assassinated by a man named Edgar
A. Watson, who had gone to Okla
homa in the sos and started farming
near her place. It is told they became
enemies In a dispute over land rental.
Anyway, February 8, 1889, so the yer-
sion has it, a double-barreled shotgun
did the work.

Scotland Made Game of
Golf National P0stinle

Three months before the Pilgrim Fa-

proved the contract for the first mu-
niclpal golf links at st. Andrews, Scot
land. Golf may have started in Hol-
land, where game called "kolf," a
cross between golf, hockey and bowl
Ing, was played on the Ice. within COW
cred courts and even in churchyards.
If the Scotch did import the sport they
changed 1t greatly. Links" for EXAM
pie Is the Scotch term referring to
rolling close-cropped shore fields which
have become the model for all golf
courses. "Bunkers" are really cut
banks such as are found along a
graded country road. Such banks with
sand pits are natural to the Scotch
shore. st. Andrews cut banks are now
artifclally created on golf links wher-
ever golf Is played. For many years
the original Scotch course consisted of
IL holes, match being two rounds, or
% holes, but in 1854 it was decided to
eliminate two holes, so today the
standard course is in multiples of nine.

Difference as to
"Cot and Dog" Lo.O

Animal pets may on occasion
scratch, bite, and commit other In
jurieS, and the owners liability for
damage will vary according to the ma
ture of the animal.
1t Is much more risky to keep a
monkey or an elephant than a dog -;
while cats, which in natural history
primers are described as ''of the tiger
kind" are more favored by the law
than almost any domestic pet.
Generally speaking, the first ques-
ton asked by the law Is whether the
animal is fierce by nature. If so, its
owner Is liable for damage whether
he knew of its vicious propensities or
not, and 1t is immaterial whether he
was careful or negligent.
A tame menagerle elephant and q
pet monkey have been held to be ami
mails fierce and vicious.
Although their ancestors were in
dubltably fierce, cats and dogs, as a
result Of many generations of domes.
ITCHY, are now regarded as friendly to
mankind. An injured plaintiff must
show that the owner knew of the ami
mails vicious propensity toward man
kind, and that with such knowledge he
was negligent in the custody Of 1t.

Fable of the Four Men

81 got off a street car this morning"
said a doctor, "and being in no hurry
/ began moralizlng on the actions and
probable character of three men who
had alighted just ahead of me. The
first one was even then halfway down
the block and was going on with such
rapid strides that he had already put
a couple of hundred yards between
himself and the next man. There,
thought l, goes a hustler-a man
who's bound to succeed in life The
second man was walking rather slow
~ and impressed me as one who would
do fairly well, perhaps, in this world.
But the last fellow was just dawdling
along in the most shiftless sort of
way. very quickly set him down as
a loafer.

to me. All three were ahead of me J"

Saved by RooseUelt's
Idea of Square Deal

When Roosevelt was getting ready
Tor his African trip various sportsmen
friends, as a matter of course, volun-
teered suggestions.
when you get to Nairobi," said one
"a Mr.. Blank, happy go-lucky, care
less, prosperous chap, who had Owed
into the jungle and out again two
years before-'whateyer you do, don't
hire a guide by the name of W.
He is capable enough, but not trust
worthy"
The day Roosevelt reached Nairobi
he inquired about this particular
guide. He sent for the repudiated
guide and got his side of the story,
says the Milwaukee Journal.
Just as Roosevelt had OWNED, 1t
was a mountain made out of a mole
hill. The damning word dropped by
Mr., Blank without warrant had left
stark misery in its wake for the guide.
After that he could get no employ
ment from any hunter who came to
Nairobi.
Roosevelt heard all this. BY way of
rejoinder he smashed his itinerary.
He rearranged it over night to include
q ten days expedition never before
dreamed of in that section of the cOun-
try. He hired the Nairobi guide to
take entire charge Of the trip.
When the expedition got back in
heard from Roosevelt. He said:
'That guide is the most intelligent,
the most industrious, the most relia-
BILE and the most satisfactory guide
have ever had"
The rehabilitation Of the wounded
guide dated from this utterance and
this act Of Rooseveits. Again the
man began to be sought after by
hunters.

| of Butterfly in France

| Butterfly culture in the south of

mems are bred. The farms are provid-
led with special leafy trees and plants
on which the eggs are Matched. Di.

are taken to well-ventllated room,
where they are placed in jars of water.
AS soon as the caterpillars have eaten
up this first supply of leaves fresh
branches are provided. Having been
in an even temperature for about two
weeks, the young caterpillars are taken
out into the open, where they are
placed on plants protected from birds
by nets. When fully grown this pro-
tectlVe net Is removed and soon they
retire into cocoons or roll themselves
up into leaves. These are collected and
stored in boxes, where in very short
time butterflies of wonderful hues are
evolved. CrOss-breeding has been tried
and numerous experiments are con-
Quoted to obtain brilliant and original
markings on the wings of these insects,
which are afterward sold to collectors
or for the adornment of women's hats

Big Lips for Beauty

longest lips.
When girls are about four or FIVE
years old their future husbands pierce

lower lips with big thorn or knife.
Through these holes he places thick
straws or reeds.
In few weeks, when the girl has
become used to the punctures, wooden
pegs the size Of lead pencil are
pushed into the holes, says London

stick straight out like birds bills, but
now they drop down from their
weight.
After this larger disks are inserted
