Lesieal Conclusion.

A little girl was walking along the
street with her brother, when she saw
a one-armed man. 1t was the first
time in her life that she had ever
seen man without an arm, and she
wanted to know all about 1t. Her
mother explained, in answer to her
questions. that the man had probably
met with an accident of some kind and
that his arm would never grow back.
The little girl thought for moment,
and then said: well, il the Lord
made US. 1t seems to me like he ought
to keep US In repair Judge.

Conan was on his way to Hartford to begin rehearsals for his latest play billed for it's pre- mier presentation at local theatre all next week and most of the other members of the company were already in the city. The report of the col lision and injuries to MT.

BERRIES AND SMALL
 FRUITS IN NEW ENGLAND
(By George French).

When one says berries the first thought is of rawberr1es. Let us re- member all the time that the success full culture of strawberries in New England is the work of the man who has become a strawberry expert, and that success also depends upon having the right sort of land and being near to good market. In New England the native strawberry. to be a profit able crop, must be different from those brought to the market from a distance
 In Boston, and all large New England cities and towns, the strawberry is in the market from Christmas to August, and that growers are learning to pro- duce full crops, to well into Septem-
 Der. The berry is not, therefore per SC
 shipped to the New England markets from southern Florida, and along up
 the Atlantic region to Jersey, and even
 into Connecticut and Rhode Island,
 must be such as can be packed and
 shipped, and retain their shape and
 flavor for from two days to a week. Now the strawberry as is a strawberry
 100 per cent, plus, cannot be shipped
 long distances, and must be eaten not
 later than the day after it is picked
 Moreover it must be ripened on the
 vine. It is for these reasons that for
 New England tables and palates the
 berries grown within two or three
 hours sof the consumers table are
 those that New England growers should raise, and do raise
 There is nothing to be had in the way of strawberries, anywhere, equal to
 wild berries found in all the New Eng
 land states, in smaller or larger
 quantities, but in Maine and New
 Hampshire in large quantities. These cannot be shipped at all, and can only be carried short distances. They must be eaten the day they are picked.
 Therefore they are local delicacies.
 They are not an article of commerce, and they do not figure as a source of dependable wealth.
 Next to the native wild berries, as
 luscious fruit that can be found in nearly all New England markets for a short season, are such berries are supplied to the Boston markets from Marshhe1d, and a few other towns. These are arge red, ripe luscious fruit, fit for the tables of kings or beggars. They get to the eaters when they are | in the best condition. They are the ne plus ultra, of berries.
 Are they profitable to raise? Note these few examples of profitable straw
 berry culture in New England. There are hundreds more. These are merely symptomatic: A shoemaker who real ized that the conf1ning work was eat ing into his constitution, with a wife and six children, bought two and a half acres of virgin land in Maine, has made a good living, educated his chill

SYMPATHY COST NARDIS HIS
 LITTLE WEALTH
COmeIy Youth, Shedding COpiOuS Tears, Works Old Game
 On CompatriOt

Carlo Nardis, a Long Hill farmer, Is a trusting individual-that is he was until last night. He roamed peace fully about the streets all day yes terdav with s1OO in his kicks satis- fled that the world had been good to him and that he mad been provi- dent enough to save a sum from his wages big enough to put him in some small business.
 But as dreams are often shattered So with Nardis, for he came upon a handsome youth of his own national ity weeping by the wall of the Con uectfcut brewery on Housatonic ave uue He was soft of heart and in- curing what the matter was received reply, that he (the stranger) was alone In Bridgeport having lost brother and was unable to speak the strange English tongue. To Nardis the come Iy youth unfoIded a tale of sorrow and fear that he might be entrapped into losing the S10O which hA had in his possession. Nardis was touched and especially as the youth wished Nardis to keep the money for him.
 Nardis accomm odated the youth and tied the money in a handkerchief with his own s1oO. They soon met a stranger found necessity for securing a small bill from the handkerchief. It was soon returned to Nardis and shortly afterward the newly Jiet cou- ple departed, never more to return In the handkerchief was a neatly substi- tuted package of newspaper Eut to the size as the original bills. The police are iuvestiga ting with little hope or finding the SwindlerS.

doing this for 30 years; not getting $3, 500 every year, but always getting good returns for the number of trees in bearing. A semi-invalid in Massa- chusetts worked one-fourth of an acre and raised small fruits and berries. His experience is on small scale, of course, and he was able to work but a small portion of the time. Yet he produced 135 quarts of blackberries, 78 quarts of strawberries, IT quarts of gooseberries, one quart of June berries, 945 pints of raspberries, 113 pints of red entrants, 69 pints of white cur rants, 57 pints of blueberrfes. This crop was worth about $185, reckoning the rate received for that portion sold. This means in the neighborhood of $75O an acre, gross.
 These examples are drawn for the most part from the experiences of farmers who make no pretensions to expert knowledge, have nothing special in the way of land, and no better mar ket facilities than any New England farmer has. They are not glowing as might easily be given. They are not drawn from the great market-garden regions, nor from the experience of the professional truck farmers.

 INT. Eddinger's face looks as though he had been through a 20 round prize fight" said Dr. Dunn, concerning MT. Cohan's leading man for his new play, Wallace Eddinger. fTt is black and blue and badly swollen and his eyes are a sight being nearly closed.''
 The doctor said further that MT. Eddinger's right forearm is badly skin ned and the flesh filled with gravel, rendering it very painful. He did not sustain many cuts although he is oth- erWise bruised and sore from the shock of the collision. He will prob ably be kept at the hospital until Tues day.
 The chauffeur, William Van Buren, has a sprained wrist and is badly shaken up but his injuries are fewer than those of any other member of the party.
 A party of friends of MT. Conan and the others injured came up from New York as soon as they could leave the city after they heard of the accident. There were eight of them and they arrived here at 2 o'clock, this morn ing. going direct to the Hartford hos pita1. Among them was Ethel Levy, former wife of George M. Conan and mother of little Georgia. She was
 
 duction in the Colonial theatre when news of the accident reached her. She left the theatre as soon as her part in the program was concluded. She was nearly wild with worry. over the condition of her child and was great ly relieved to find the little girl so much improved and not so badly hurt as at first believed. Dr. Philip Grauss- man, a New York specialist, was also of the party and conferred with the hospital physicians in the treatment of MT. Conan and daughter. Others were Mrs Eddinger and maid, Sam H. Harris, MT. Cohan's partner; Carter De Haven, a friend; Florence Ziegfe1d, Jr.; Walter J. Moore; J. McKenna and Gene Buck, the last three connected with the Conan & Harris office in New York.
 MT. and Mrs. Jerry Conan, parents of George M., are here from their summer home in New York. Several members of the party returned to New York, this morning, after remaining at the hospital until o'clock.
 MT. Conan, VanBuren, the chauffeur, and other members of the party deny that their automobile was trave1ing g at excessive speed when the accident occurred and insist that it was going hour They said the smash was due to the action of the driver of the garbage wagon which was going in the same direction as the auto, in turning abruptly to the left in path of the approaching machine, only a moment before the collision occurred. The interval was so brief that Van Buren had no opportunity to avoid striking the wagon.
