HOW CROssETT PLAYED.
The New England Musician Wa
 Weak in His Italian.

The New England Musician Was
 Weak in His Italian.
 In the village of Bellows Falls some forty years ago, a band was organized, and was fairly successful. It's personal was varied as to age and appearance and there was one member of this or ganization. Crossett by name, who by virtue of his loose, baggy attire, his immense 'muff1er," which he never took off nine months of the year, and his selapeless soft hat, stood alone as an eccentric oddity. The band had resumed practice the first of April in small room over the post office.
 Passefs-by could readily hear their strains and there was much satis- faction in the village in anticipating concerts during the approaching sum- mer.
 One evening the band members were being drilled in a rather quleter selec- tion than usual and the director was endeavoring to tone down some of the vigor put into the playing, Crossett, played the bass instrument, seemed to possess unusual enthusiasm that evening, and especially in that piece. The other players moderated their tones somewhat, but he bravely, boldly blew flor all he was worth" After two or three attemtpts to in duce Crosset to play softer the direc- tor paused and called out:
 "Why in thunder, Crossett, do you play so loud?"
 "Coz it says so in my music" he answered.
 Tt says so," returned the director, leaving his place and going to where Crossett sat, hugging his big instru- ment and looking at his 'part." Then pointing to place where there was the usual mark for soft" he said:
 What do you call taat?'
 Well, and what do you suppose D p means?"
 Crossett looked up out of his "muf- fer" which half buried his head, and replied: Purity powerful, don't it?"- Boston Herald.

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR TROUT.
What New Haven's Leading Tackle
 Dealer Says Abont Trout.

What New Haven's Leading Tackle
 Dealer Says About Trout.
 The season for trout fishing opens April 1 and the impatient anglers who have been anxiously awaiting that time will make for the ripping streams where the elusive trout abound.
 The John E. Bassett & Co. of Chapel street was visited by our representa- tive and in conversation with MT. Aus tin the prospects for the coming sea- month ago the outlook for early trout was a little dubious, at this time and in this vicinity the prospects are fairly good. The streams which were swollen by the melting snow have greatly sub sided and cleared themselves by the natural running. The trout which have been denied their usual food are now ravenous and the early fishers are reasonably sure of good catches.
 We have heard from various ones who have examined the different streams recently that trout seems abun- dant and the large ones have all been spoken for"
 What bait should one use at this 'season?'
 Among the multitudinous artificial and natural baits, for early fishing the common angle worm Is conceded to be the best. It is what the trout long for and what they greedily take. A little later in the season as 1t warns up and the different insects appear the artificial fly makes a good killer"
 Previous years I believe you have put up prize rod for trout; anything like that this vear?"
 Yes; but we shall increase the prize by giving a complete outfit valued at $15. That will include full fly rod costing $6, a multiplying reel, the best Martin line, an assortment of hooks on smells, leaders, floats, sinkers, spoons bait flies, and fly hooks, scale ana other articles and by no means the least i'm portant item, a leather covered flask,
 "The only stipulation we make is that the contestants must use our tackle; the trout to be taken in this state, and left with us to be weighed
 How long is the contest on?"
 ''The trout season closes June 30; SC July 1 we shall take pleasure in pre- senting the outfit to the lucky holder of the record catch
 Our representative then was shown a. varied assortment of tackle which would delight the most e&acting angler, after which he decided to go fishing and try for the prize.

LIFE INSURANCE AND PRACTI-
 GAL GENEROSITY.

For some time past, corporations and great fduciary institutions-all organizations controlling or holding vast sums of money--haye been the chief objects of public attention. Hon. est men have welcomed this manifes- tation of public interest in the pro- blems created by modern methods ot conducting enormous enterprises. Clear-headed men realize at the same time that some of the institutions made prominent by their far-reaching operations and intimate relations with the public, are conducted by men of the highest intergrity and are per- forming a public service of incalculable value.
 The great Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company, of New York, is com- ing more and more to be recognized as an institution whose attitude to- ward the public is nearer to that of a generous philantiaropist than an op- pressive capitalist. This Company con- ducts the business of insurance in a way that can be understood by the ordinary citizen. It estimates in the light of universal experience and ex- pert knowledge the actual cost of in suring a life under given conditions, exacts legitimate premium based upon cost writes policy as definite and clear as the simplest business con tract, and then PAYS every dollar the beneficiary expects or hopes to re- ceive.
 This, of course, is simply maintain ing correct business principles and should call for no more commendation when practiced by great corporation than it would in the case of an in- dividual. The high estimation in which the Metropolitan Life is held to-day, however, cannot be attributed to the mere fact that it refrains from deceit and meets its obligations; it is due to repeated acts which indicate that it regards it's millions of policy-holders as entitled to share from time to time in it's own unanticipated profits.
 This unique view of it's obligations, ] it should be noted, is not the result of recent insurance agitation, but has )been held consistently for many years It has impelled the Company to distri- bute among it's policy-holders during the past twelve years more than thirteen millions of dollars.
 It has been made known in the lat est published statements of the Met ropolitan Life that all full-life policy holders in the Industrial Department who reached the age of 75 in 1906, and who reach that age in 1907, are to have their policies continued for life without further payment of premiums. It is further provided that any one holding a full-life Industrial policy which has been in force fifteen years
The daily morning journal and courier., 1907-03-28

will at the age of 80 receive the amount of the policy in cash.
 Perhaps no former act of this Com pany Is so significant as this voluntary generosity toward aged policy holders from whom it can expect no com pensating relations in the future. It is stated that this concession alone costs the Company more than million dol- lars. Any similar gift (for it is purely a voluntary gift) by an individual would cause the donor to be widely proclaimed as a leader in philanthropi- cal work. It should not go entirely un- recognized because it emanates from a Corporation"
 Further concessions made by the Metropolitan Life during 1906 affect their younger policy-holders, and have taken the shape of voluntary cash di- vidends upon Industrial policies di- vidends not promised nor implied in the policies, not bargained for, hoped for, or expected by those who receive them. This is an item of something like two million of dollars, making the total voluntary concessions during the year, more than three millions.

Knox Touring Machines Climb Wood
 bridge Hill.
 Increasing crowds are attending the Auto show at the armory every after noon and evening. The exhibition has become a mecca for prospective pur- chasers, and many demonstrations have been given by rival dealers to set~ tie the superiority of their cars.
 Growing out of an argument between dealers as to whether or not it was pos sible for a car to climb Long hill in Woodbridge on high gears, a test was made by Dr. F H. Wheeler and F. T. Hale on Tuesday in their thirty-horse- power Knox touring machines, and the trick was done, despite the bad and muddy ascent
 The climb has aroused much com ment in auso circles, and these autoists now claim to be the first to make the hill on high gears.

WATERS WANT HOLIDAY.
Movement on Foot Among Local Elm
 ployes.

Movement on Foot Among Local Elm
 ployes.
 There has been general movement throughout the city among the em- ployes of cafes with restaurants at tached against working on Easter Sun day, and the movement will probably be successful this year. The employees took the stand that large part of the trade at the cafes was from tho stu dent body and that few If this class would be in the city next Sunday. An- other thing which led the employees to ask for a holiday was that most of them are natives of other countries, all though American citizens now, and wish to observe the church holiday. which in many countries is considered to be the chief one of the year.
 The movement started among the employees of the Cafe Heubleln, who asked the owner, Louis Metzger, to give them the holiday, as they general ly work 365 days in the year The peti- ton was signed by every enlploye of the cafe, and MT. Metzger, after think ing the matter over. granted it. The walters gave him vote of thanks, which was warmly seconded by the other people working at the cafe.
 The move has continued among the employees of other cafes and they have asked, or will to-day ask, that the places of business be closed on Sunday | if possible. Several proprietors have the matter under consideration.

A MOCK SUIT.
Eighteenth Century Law Applied

Eighteenth Century Law Applied to
 Twentieth Century Conditions.
 What can you do to a corporation, to punish 1t for violating the law? asks Melville M. Bigelow, in the Atlan- tic. You cannot imprlson a fiction, if the incorporeal person has funds you may get at these by tine but that will not stop the business if the busi- ness is profitable. You may take away the company's charter and so destroy it's legal life if you are able to prove your case-which is not like ly; but the men who managed the business will go on with the work for they are exempt by the constitution from giving evidence to incriminate themselves.
 The case of the Beef Trust showed how completely the old law ties the hands of the government, and how lit tie the efforts of the government are under exitising law to put an end to violations of the sherman Act. Armed With full authority for the purpose, the government makes elaborate pre- paration, proceeds to investigate the facts, and obtains evidence against the managers, who are now duly in- dicted; and what is the result? All the investigation goes for noth- ing, so far as the individual defen- dants are concerned; the evidence is involuntary, and the court is bound to rule that it cannot be used-the &C., cused are protected by the constitu- tional provision that a person shall not be compelled to incriminate him. self
 The court is now at liberty to pro- ceed constitutionally against the cor poration, with such prospect as that already indicated, and the play pro- ceeds.-The Constitution, framed in the atmosphere of the eighteenth cen tury, turns the prosecution into a mack suit.

.acURvED IS THE LINE OF BEAU

L1i
 STRAIGHT IS THE LINE OF DUTY"
 The above couplet was penned long ago by famous poet. It will at once occur to those who read Muhlfelder's advertisement in to-days Journal and Courier that the gifted author looking down "the corridors of time" with fine provision gazed at the wealth of beauty and fashion which is so strikingly att tractive at that popular millinery em- porlum, and immortahzed in verse what his eyes saw And surely in the hat line, beauty is very much in evil dence there. And just as surely the line of duty is to make a "bee line" for S41-S43 Chapel street. Then duty will be followed by pleasure and delight which will culminate in the purchase of the finest goods ever seen. Particu- lar attention is also called to the "v" line. By reading the announcement you'll see what that is. Now to sum up, as the preacher says: There are three lines; the line of beauty, the line of duty, and the "" line. By needing the pointers in this article you will realize that your lines have fallen in pleasant places"
