The day was dark and windy, and the
storm was sweeping free
Across the lonely country. and the sky
line seemed to be
A mass OF molten thunder In the hollow
Of a sea.
We rode across the country, and the horses
seemed TO ny.
For they felt the lurking danger In the
clouds that hung on high.
And they tremblsd as the lightning ripped
the curtain OF the sky,
Came q peal Of hslching cannon from that
cloud without a form.
The air grew breathless. i~ifeless. for the
wind was sullen. warm:
And. praying In the heavy dark. we ded

PLENTY OF DUCKS FOR
 HUNTERS THIS YEAF
Vast FIocks Are Seen Daily Along the
 Shore.


 The season for ducks is now open. John NJ. Crompton, superintendent of fish and game, said it was simply WonderfuP' to see the vast hocks of ducks at the shore. They were to be counted by the thousands and he predicted Q good season. He said the condition of the focks was the justi- fication of the policy observed by the commission in propagation of wild fowl.
 There were at present about 26,0 600 hunters in the state. but only a small percentage engaged in duck hunting MT. Champion said there had been Q marked increase in the number of hunters in New Haven and he thought there were fully 200 along the shore today. The duck hunting season will continue until Jan. Is.
 The season for pheasants will open Oct 8.
 The reports from game wardens convince MT. Crampton that the gen. eral hunting this year will be more satisfactory than for many years. Grouse and pheasants are reported as plentiful.
 Superintendent Crampton deplores the fact that there does not seem to be the slightest disposition to discon- tinue the indiscriminate slaughter of deer. The number reported killed since the law went into effect in Aug ust, 1915. is 1.648. He received a, let ter yesterday morning from Windhan county containing the report of the thing about it was the shooting was perfectly lawful" said MT. Cramp ton.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
 IN THE LOCAL SCHOOLS.
Supt. Graham Recommends That Part of Day Be Devoted to Instructions AIond This Line.

In a letter sent out on Thursday by Superintendent of Schools. Edward J. Graham to the teachers of the local schools he suggests that part of the day on Monday be given over to a dis cussion of fire prevention and acci- dents. The letter is as follows:
 Oct. 5, 1916. To the Principals:
 For a number of years October 9th has been observed in the schools of many cities and towns as Fire Pre- vention day. am in hearty accord with this movement and I recommend that in all of our schools throughout the town a portion of the day be de- voted to instruction in regard to fire prevention and accidents. I suggest that in the lower grades the pupils give either oral or written compost tions on the subject; in the upper grades, the pupils might write a com position on the dangers arising, from carelessness in connection with fire, trolley cars, automobiles. etc, and the means for preventing fires an dacci- dents. I also suggest that the teach CTS discuss with the puprrs the various means of prevention and prote<sior from fire and accident.
 Sincerely yours,
 B. J. GRAHAM,
 Supt. of Schools.
