cHASTISED THE BULLY.
Slab-Sided Capt. Hunker Took All the Badness Out of the Terro-
 of the Ship.

The officer commanding the naval station at Newport, Capt. J. J. Hunk CT, is long, slab-sided and lanky, and his chest looks caved in, but he is the strongest man in the navy and can whip his weight in wildcats, says an exchange. In wardroom mess with Hunker once was one of the worst bullies who ever disgraced the Amer ican navy He was six feet tall, a Hercules in build. and could put a longboat on his back and pack it ashore. For the first week that he joined the ship he made it hot for everybody on her. On the seventh day, when breakfast was over and he got up to go out of the wardroom, Hunker asked him to sit down again. He requested all the other officers of the mess to go on deck and stay there till he sent for them. They could see in his eye what he intended to do, and it was pity; he was thin as rail and stoop-shouldered--b as if with cough. But they went out and left him with the giant. Ten minutes later Hunker invited them in again. The bully looked as if he had been through meat chop per. He went to bed and stayed there for three weeks. To this day he is an angel of grace and courtesy.

Busy Times for Housekeepers During

 April is the month for house clean ing, and in almost every house there is trouble.

High School Boys Met Their Second
 Defeat Last Night.

Defeat Last Night.
 What is the matter with the High school basket ball team? is the Ques- tion that is on eyeryone's tongue to- day. Wednesday evening they were deefated by Waterbury Yigh 51 to 5, and last night Gilbert High school of Winsted repeated the operation to the tune of 13 to 3. No wonder everyone is surprised at the showing made by the High school boys, who are noted for being crack players. Something must be the> matter with the boys or surely they could make a better show ing than that of the last two days. Hut altogether it is not the players fault, as everyone knows that practice makes perfect, and people will cease to won der when they hear that the locals went to Waterbury without having a practice game or practice of any sort for four or five days. This state of sf- fairs was occasioned by the fact tlar the opera house was engaged Monday and Tuesday evenings, and the boys are not allowed to practice on days that any amusement is booked for the night.
 Meetings tonight: Parish house, prayer and conference meeting; Forest CTS hall, Rubber City lodge, N. F. O. F.; H1bernian hall, Division No 1, A. o. H.
 Naugatuck High school vs Waterbury High school at the opera house to, night.
