WincheSter'S Great Luck.


Winchester is in luck again. The
many munifcent gifts to the venerable
town by Charles Broadway Rouss have
been topped by magnificent bequest
made by Judge John Handley, who
diedin Scranton, Pa, last week. Judge
Handley S will was opened on Monday,
and among the items in it is a gift Of
S25O000 for the establishment of a
free public library in Winchester.
Seems as though Winchester has only
to sit still and the rich plums drop in
to her lap. We congratulate our Sis
ter town.
Later developments indicate that
Winchester will get considerably more
than $25o,oOO The city is made the
residuary legatee of one-third of Judge
Handley's estate. He left about four
millions. The total requests are less
than a million. Consequently Win
chester will receive in all over mil
liam of dollars by the provisions of the
will.
Judge Handley was buried in Win
chester Tuesday.

THE BASS AND THE LOBSTER.

disadvantage of the One That Made
1t a Meal for the Other.
"Under ordinary conditions" said a
fisherman of experience, 1.-The lobster
is able to take care Of himself. 1t is
a fighter, and quick in movement; but
there comes a time when it is helpless;
that is when it is shedding its shell.
Even then, however, it is safe enough
II 1t a hide somewhere until it's new
shell begins to harden and it begins
to get its strength back. But if it has
no hiding place it is in great danger
of being eaten by it's enemies.
I'm an aquarium with which l was
connected awhile ago we had at one
time a tank in which there we're a
striped bass, weighing, l should say,
about five. pounds; the lobster was
twelve or thirteen inches long, and
might have weighed two pounds.
When the lobster was in trim the
striped bass neyer thought Of disturb
ing it, but when the lobster began to
shed its shell things were very differ
ent. The lobster couldn't 90 off and
hide under q ledge of rocks, or in a
crevice or a hollow place worn out by
the water. All it could do was to
scrape out a hole into the gravel in
the bottom of the tank and crawl into
it. That device might have succeeded
at the bottom of the ocean, but in the
tank the striped bass could easily see
everything the lobster did, and it
seemed to know what the lobster was
about.
HOLSTERS vary in the length of time
1t takes them to shed their shell. 1t
might have taken this lobster about
an hour, and all this time the striped
bass kept an eye on him. 1t would
swim around the tank and look down
on the lobster as though it was sort
Of keeping track Of him, and seeing
how it was getting along. The bass
would see the lobster tugging away at
the old shell and swim on past, and
the next time 1t came along it would
look down again. Finally, when the
striped bass came loafing around on
one of it's rounds, 1t didn't continue
on. The poor lobster was out Of it's
shell; helpless, a fighter shorn of his
strength, just q fine meal for q hun
cry striped bass, and the striped bass
pitched In and ate it all but a few
tough shreds, which were left scat
tered about, and which the bass didn't
want, for there was so much of the
lobster that was good and tender.'-
