YOUNG TROUT ARE
 MUCH IN DEMAND
Fish Commission Has Already ReeeiV- ed 300 Applications for Fingerllngs

From the number of applications received by the state commission on fisheries and game for trout fingerlings for the stocking of private streams, it is evident that the demand on the state hatchery at Windsor Locks will be much greater this year than in any previous year. Already the commis- sion has received 300 applications from all over the state and it is thought likely the number will exceed 500. Each applicant is entitled to 200 fin- s;erlings. The supply to each will be delivered in a can for which fifty cents will be charged.
 The commission is also arranging to furnish small mouth black bass which will be purchased from a pri- vate hatchery in New Milford. The state does not own hatchery for bass, but no charge is made to the persons among whom they are distri buted. Superintendent John NJ. Crampton is in favor of the states owning its own bass hatchery and it developed for the starting of one. It would be to the advantage of the state. MT. Crampton thinks, if it owned all the hatcheries which it needs for the propagation of fish.
 The commission has also received a large number of applicants for pheas- ants eggs and it will be abe to sup = py them from the state game farm at Madison. The state has greater sue cess in the matching of pheasants' eggs at the game farm than owners of private preserves have. From S5 to 90 per cent. of the eggs matched at the farm produce birds, whie the percent age in private preserves is ony 50 per cent
 The trout season begins April 1 and will continue until June 30. There are some places, particularly in Litchfield y- he I.. week or two later, and which does not | close until the early part of July. Superintendent Crampton has re- | turned from a visit to Washington, D 1 C., which he made at the request oi l the commission to confer with the fed. ! eral authorities in connection with the 1 work of propagating fish and game iT | this state.

GIFT FOR c. c. CHASE,
Tenants Surprise Him on Return from
 Honeymoon.

Charles Clayton Chase, president of the Chase & Laubaum Corp, was given a surprise by his many business ten ants on his first day of business after his return from his honeymoon. Dis satisfaction seemed rampant among some of his tenants and it had been arranged to have him meet George M. Byard at 6.S0 D. m. to adjust the trouble.
 Upon his arrival he was taken to the second floor, which was in total dark ness, and P voices in unison gave him a hearty three cheers when the lights were turned on. There was<a phono- graph selection, and Postmaster John Carter then presented the instrument, a Sonora, to MT. Chase in behalf of the tenants. MT. Chase responded gratefully and gave an interesting talk on his travels through the southern states and Cuba. Twenty-two covers were turned and a fine dinner was served by Caterer Bragdon. In turn everybody gave a toast to MT. and Mrs. Charles Clayton Chase.-Haver- hill (Mass.) Gazette.

DlsmantIina Steamer Puritan.

The dismantling of the steamer Puri- tan has progressed so far that the old vessel now presents a dilapidated ap- pearance. With the use of the der ricks on two steam lighters that are docked alongside the steamer at the New London line wharf, hundreds of feet of timber are torn from the upper works of the vessel at once.
 Work started on the center of the craft. The boiler plates were loosened with the add of acetylene burners that took the heads off the rivets. The plates were then attached to the boom of the lighter and taken from the steamer.

CLANS ARE SCARCE
 IN THIS SECTION.
Snow and Ice Storms Make It Alnnos
 Impossible to Secure SheIIfish.

Along with the scarcity of fish, the scarcity of clams assumes somewhat serious proportions. Snow and ice on the beaches at Shelter and Fishers Islands are successful in thwarting the efforts of the fishermen to secure long clans, and the storms of the past few weeks have made it practically i'm chief clamming sections between Maine and Rhode Island.
 There is little change in the fish situation. Strikes in New York and Boston, added to the storms. make a combination that the fishermen cannot beat, and the result is the continued high price of deep sea food.

 Writing to the New London Tele- graph concerning the statement of Carlos Barry of the New London school board claiming the superiority of Nor wich Free Academy, a New London man says:
 New London high schools are unfor- tunate in being brought into immedi- ate contrast. with the Norwich Free Academy, an institution having one of the best school plants and one of the largest endowments of schools of sim liar character in New England. To establish and maintain a school of equal equipment and grade would cost this city each year many times the meagre appropriations that are made to the preparatory schools of New London.
 That parents who can afford the ex- pense of sending boys and girls to the Norwich school do so as a matter of | choice is doubtless to be expected, but | that boys or girls are sent to outside schools as a necessity for college prep l aration is shown to be a mistaken l thought by the yearly entrance to our colleges of boys and girls from the To- cal high schools without other prepa- ration, where in many cases they im- | medfately take high mark.

seemed the instant inspiration of his
witty verses. Here was evidently to
be test example, and was all alert
to mark its minutest detail.
The clamor had subsidized, and Tom
my had drawn a chair near to and d.
rectly in front the Majors. His right
hand was extended, closely graspfng
the right hand of his friend which he
scarce perceptibly, though measuredly,
lifted and let fall throughout the
length of all the curious performance.
The voice was not unmusical, nor was
the quaint old ballad air adopted by
the singer unlovely in the least; sim
ply a monotony was evident that ac-
corded with the levity and chance
finish of the improvisation-and that
his smiling auditors all drew nearer,
and leant. with parted lips to catch
every syllable, the words of the strange
melody trailed unheSitatingly into the
lines literally, as here subjoined:
One gloomy day in the airly fall.
Whin the sunshine had no chance at all
No chance at all for to CLEAN and Shine
And tighten up this heart of mite

Whilst 1 were a-strollin' round and round

voice between verses. "Now give it to
the Majorw And the song went on:
There's Major Blowney leads the van,
As crack a shot as an Irishman,-
For it's the duck Is a tin decoy
That his ovid shotgun can't destroy:
And a half dozen jublIant palms
patted the Majors shoulders. and his
rudAy, good-natured face beamed with
delight. snow give 1t to the rest of

who formed a circle about him wliie

continued:
