CONNECTICUT'S PRIDE.

The Putnam Memorial Park-Bravo "Old
 Put"
 There was one heroic general in the war of the revolution who exceeded all others in his picturesque personality, whose brave adventures have delighted Americans. This man was Major Gen eral Israel Putnam, who was universal ly, in his day and since, known, feared and beloved as "Old Put"
 Putnam's closing days tas a soldier were spent as commander of wing of the Continental army in winter quar- ters, on a. wild spot of ground few miles from Danbury, Bedding, and Bethel, Conn. It was during the win ter of 177S-9, when the condition of the colonial troops was most discouraging. Clothing was scanty and thin, and the winter weather severely cold; food vas scarce and money was ''hard." Dur ing period of about five months these llOOpo lSlildlllCo Ou IASoS 0SACo. " ASA they departed the log cabins and other numerous traces of their life remained behind, and for over a century re- mained practically undisturbed, sub ject only to the destroying power of time.
 The troops here encamped included two brigades of infantry and one brig ade of cavalry from Connecticut and a brigade of New Hampshire infantry under General Poore. The Connecticut troops, many of them, were reared in the towns near the camp, and returned to their homes after the struggle. It is not surprising then, that their descend ants had large interest in the spot, and it is due to this feeling that the spot has now been reserved as the property of the state, and by the com- bined effort of the state legislature and public-spirited citizens will be perma- nent teacher of the life and times of the revolution.
 The whole park comprises forty acres, given to the state by ex-Senator Isaac H. Bartram of Sharon, Aaron Tread well and o. B. Jennings, of Fairfield. The ancestors of all these men were

The major part of the gift. however. came rom Senator Bartram. who. as the repre- sentative of his senatorial district m the legislature. was able to do some effective work in convincing that body of the need and wisdom Of an appro- priation. He at last succeeded In nov ing them to give him few hundred dollars-a striking instance indeed or liberality.
 With this the work was begun. The ground Is by nature wild and pictur- esque. It rises by a series Of threo plateaux, the first two being protected by two rocky bluffs. here and there showing their bare granite sides through spruces. hemlocks, balsams, and birches. Sheltered by these bluns there were three groups of log cabins. From the highest bluff can be seen In clear weather the glistening blue expanse of Long Island sound. Gener- al Putnam showed admirable wisdom in the selection of the place, fitted pecu- Iarly for military purposes. During the previous winter the people along the sound had suffered severely from the deyouring British. and 1t was part ly for their protection that this place was selected. It was not the intention or the state commission in charge of building the park to destroy any of these natural and wild features, but to preserve, as far as possible, this and all the remnants of the days of camp lifc.-Harper's Weekly.
