Uncle Tom Flogged

Poor old Uncle Tom was yanked out of his famous cabin and thoroughly flogged under a waterproof tent in the Gillette lot Monday night ia the presence of large audience, which had paid the following assessment for the privilege: Adults, % cents; children, 15 cents; reserved seats, 20 cents extra. For the hundred and 'steenth time Harriet Beecher Slows thrilling drama "Uncle Toms Cabin. renewed local aoquaint- ances and, as usual. was cordially re- ceIved.

The company was favored with ample material. talent and other accessories necessary to produce the drama in regulation style, including Q stunning whip (used by MT.

Little Eva, who was just the dearest thing, was quite an actress and could sing well, while the other characters were sustained with the average U. T. O. Go. ability. After the body had been consigned to the hog pen the per formance concluded with a grand ale gorical transformation, which showed little Eva bound skyward. The scene resembled a twenty valentine as Eva stood reaching for something in the midst of bank of fiimsy stuff gar nished with daubs of silver and gold and things that looked like angels. It was touchin' sight. We never saw a "touchiner" one.

Morse of Hartford, Rev. H. I. Bodley and Dr. Fred Forrest of New Britain, George Cunning of East Canaan and R. O. Ware of Philadelphia, one returns to the station having had seven-mile walk around Panaheconnic. On the south lake few rods from the station is the residence of w. A. Miles, son of ex-Congressman Frederick Miles, and J. A. Jameson. The residence and grounds of Messrs. Robert and Herbert Scoville, the donors of the Scoville Library in the village of Salisbury, are magnificent. Several hundred thousand dollars have been expended by the Sco- villes in erecting the elaborate stone mansion, boat-house and other buildings at the outlet of the lakes.
 One of the Twin Lakes characters is .SOld Ike," the old fisherman, who for forty years has repeated the same i'm possible fish yarns while revealing the best fishing grounds on the lake. Sound ings have been made to the depth of 100 feet which is the home of the lake trout and land-locked salmon. Other fish caught in more shallow waters are pick erel, bass, perch, bullheads and sunfish.
 The Twin Lakes Association was or ganized four years ago for the purpose of stocking of the lakes; protecting the fish, and furthering the general wei fare of it's surroundings. The annual meeting and picnic of the association recently showed the enthusiasm in this enterprise. After varied program of water and land races witnessed by about 300 people the following officers of the association were elected for the ensuing year: President. Charles Blake of Hart ford; vice president, Hobart O. Morgan of New Rochelle; secretary, s. A. Eddy of Canaan; treasurer, Charles Lumb of Poughkeepsie; executive committee, J.. Clinton Roraback of Canaan, w. A. Miles of Twin Lakes, Professor E. H. Morse of Hartford. .#.
 This summer there have been between 400 and 500 people about the lakes. E eighteen launches, one steamer. numer-
 ous canoes, sailboaps and round bottom boats, but the beauty of the place is the simple and unostentatious life led by the people. Those come here who would seek rest and quiet by trying fisherman's $ luck, bathing in the lakes, boating and walking or driving to the main points of interest.
