MILD WEATHER GOOD FOR GAME
 BIRDS.
 The winter, so far, has been remark ably mild and most favorable for the preservation of game birds. Part ridges are quite plentiful and may be found in all favored places along the wooded billSideS and neighbOring swamps. Quail are very scarce and rarely seen. One may tramp the day through and not flush a single bird. No doubt but that the law protecting wild rabbits will make them very plentiful in another year. Perhaps every family may once more enjoy a rabbit stew.

THE OLD TRUE TALE AGAIN.

 Of the Agony of the Man Who in all
 Innocence Gets a Black Eye
 Is there any agony equal to that of the sober, God-fearing man who has had an eye accidentally blaekened and who is obliged to go to business while the changes are rung in the discolora- tion-from black to purple, from pur- pie to saffron. and from saffron to mud color?
 A man of this kind was turning a corner in Park avenue recently when a block of wood driven by a shinny in the hands of a schoolboy struck him just beneath the left eye Within an hour the skin all around the eye was puffed and black,
 When the man entered his home his wife did not rush for remedies to re- lieve him. She just clasped her hands, stared at him and murmured:
 Good Lord!"
 He has never been able ito under stand why he blushed but he did blush and stammmered:
 "I-I-was struck by a shinny-a--I"
 Struck by aha, ha, hal" his wife laughed shrilly. You don't tell me! Struck by aha, ha, ha, ha! Is shin ney ball like the high balls that men talk about? Struck by aha, ha, ha!' and she went off into mysteries.
 The next day the man went to his office. As he stepped into the elevator the man at the lever grinned cordially and remarked in a consoling tone:
 q had a worse one than that when a fellow punched me in front of Tam many Hall on election night.
 When the man entered his office six of his associates were at their desks. He did not wait for them to discover him one by one, but walking boldly to the middle of the room, he said de- fiantly: Good morning How are you?" Then, to clinch the matter, he "I am well. How are you?' added, after the manner of Mir. Toots:
 The six associates looked up at him, looked at one another, chuckled tlend- lshly and made answer as follows:
 No. You remember I asked you to join me in boxing lessons, but you wouldn't. Every man should learn how to save his face, even if he does teach in a Sunday school.
 No. 2-Never argue with lamp post, John.
 No. Sits funny how some men get quarrelsome when they take a drop too much. It always makes me merry.
 No. 4--You ought to have eountered with your left
 No. 5--Let John alone, He doesn't go in for it often, but when he does he's a hummer.
 No. 6--Well, every man has got to let himself loose once in a while. If he didn' t, something in him would burst.
 When luncheon time arrived the man approached the head office boy timidly and said:
 T don't feel like going out just now, I-please go out and get some lunch for me-
 The boy nodded confidentially, and said:
 "All right, I understand" and when the ans back was turned gave brief sparring exhibition, ending with an im-

Patrick Lynch Wins Suit Against Po-
 Iiceman Landy--InjunctiOn Against
 Removal of Signs - $5O,00O Suit
 lessor Whelers Estate-Light Docket
 in City COurs.
 The business of the January term is finished, and court was adjourned for the term. Judge Henry Stoddard, who was making the closing argument in the judges salary case when court ad- journed Wednesday afternoon, finished early Thursday morning, and the suit of John w. Sterling and Morris W. Sey- mour trustees under the will of Law son P. Ives and others, was argued.
 Mr Ives died inthis city in 1867, leav- ing will which was executed on Jan uary 21, 1864, and there were four codi- ciIs attached to the will. The executors recently brought an action for a con- structi6n of certain clauses of the will and codicils, and Judge John H. Reed gave an interpretation of them There were four branches of the family de- scendants parties to the suit. Three Of these branches appealed from Judge Reeds interpretation. Before the case was taken up the lawyers told the re- porters that there was but little law in the case. and the question for the su- preme court, they said, was what Mr. Ives meant by the language he used. Arthur L. Shipman appeared for the trustees; Robinson &5 Robinson, Judge William F. Henney and Major E. Hem ny Hyde represented the three branches that appealed to the supreme court; Edward D. Robbins appeared for Mrs. Sophia l. Owen, who was party to the suit, but who did not appeal.
 A case not on the docket came before the court, that of the state against Morris Dobkin, upon motion of Dob- kin's lawyer, John O'Neil of Waterbury, Dobkin was found guilty and sentence ed in the superior court for the theft of copper wire in Naugatuck An ap- peal was taken in the regulation way, and the questions of law, which 1t was desired to have reviewed stated, but the trial judge had failed to make a find ing, and the court as asked to order such finding to be made.
 The judges retired and considered the motion and announced later the phases of the question upon which they would hear counsel at New Haven at tn term opening January IS. Had a court

 It is only recently that the tide of tourists has turned in any volume to these attractive islands of the West h. dies.

itation knockout blow, all of which de- lighted the pretty typewriter.
 At P. M. the man, who had always hitherto carried his head high, slunk out of the office, glancing furtively in all directions. He took a roundabout way to the elevated station and peered at all the persons in a car before he en- tered it.
 When he reached his block it was dark and he drew long sigh of re- lief. But he had not yet escaped for the day. At his door he met the janitor who looked him over magisterially and asked:
 Do you know who was making all that noise in the hall about o'clock this morning Several tenants haev been complaining.
 q don't know anything about it. I was in bed at 10 o'clock cried the man desperately, as he started for his apart ment on the second floor,
 Just at the haed of the stairs he ran into a pretty young woman who start ed back, gazed at him and began to shriek. As he entered his flat he heard her saying to the janitor:
 Tt was some drunken brawler."
 That night the man wrote to his chief saying that he must take week off even if he should lose his place by do- ing so. He spent nearly all his waking time during the waak before mirror, watching the rainbow hues chase one another about that eye and wondering why man with a blackened eye should be tortured with all sorts of cruel jests while he would have the sympathy of his friends if an accident ha dhappened to his ear or his nose or his mouth or any other part of his body,-New York Sun.
