CARRIER PIGEON VISIS HOME HERE Rests as Guest of Residents on Hamilion Street About 8 o'clock yesterday- after- ! noon a peculiar noise outside the dining room window:of Mrs. A. 8. Parsons’ home at’ 40 Hamilfon atreet attracted her attention. At first she paid no attention to # thinking that the noise was caus by falling pieces of icicles. “The evenness of tapping sounds on the window pane however aroused. her curiosity and she decided to inves- tigate. Going into the dining room she saw a uigeon perched on the window sill on the outside. pecking with its beak at the glass. She went to the window, but the bird would not fly away, whereupon Mrs. Par- sons brought some bread crumbs and, opening the window, placed them on the sill. The bird evidently was not hungry as it did not-touch the food. but sat in the farthest cor- ner on the window s if resting ‘before starting on a long journey. At § o'clock Mrs. Parson's hus- band came home from the New Tsritain National bank, and she told him of her find, whereupon he went into the dining room and took: the pigeon in. It was purplish green in color, and when Mr. Parsons ex- tended his hand, it showed no signs | of fright. Thinking it might be a carrier pigeon, to search for letters and numerals. He found them en one of the legs and the little card bore the num- ber 3713—A. P.—28-V. The hird was exceptionally tame and cuddled up closely when its rescuer took it 4n his hands. After examining it to make cer- tain that it was not injured, Mr. Parsons placed the bird in a bas- ket on the veranda, and when he went out again at 7,0'clock in the | evening, the bird was gone, appar- ently on another leg of a long jour- mey after gaining a rest.

Since these two bodies must study the budget Supt. Holmes fecls it would not be wisdem to make.any predictions as to fhe amount or to the ‘sum allotted to each-ftem. : The | budget which he has been working on for the past few weeks is liable'| to change, he sa; i As the budget stands now there is nothing more than the normal in- crease over that allowed last year. The school board's budget last year amounted to $1,251,384, but is su: fered two cuts, one at the hands ©f the board of finance and taxation and the other from the “common council. i SPANISH WARVETS. 70 SEAT OFFICERS Four Groups to Be Tnstalled at Armory Tonight Tnstallation ceremonies of A.
