NATHAN HALE PLAY
 AT HIGH SCHOOL

The play, Nathan Hale.' which will be produced by members of the Amphion club of the New Britain High school, is of especial interest to the people of Connecticut. and per haps more so to the people Of New Britain and Berlin.
 Nathan Hale, the hero. was a Con- necticut product, born in Coventry in 1775. educated in Yale college, be- coming later a teacher in the Union Grammar school in New London. When Washington's call came for a man of experience who could be trusted and who would be willing to sacrifice his life if need be, Nathan Hale offered his services as a spy to enter the British lines and obtain ne- cessary information. Connecticut may be proud of the man who saved the Continental Army from defeat and who gave his life willingly, regrettins that he could do no more for his country
 The land trip made by the British, from Boston must have been through this immediate vicinity over the o!f Boston and New York turnpike through Berlin. A certain old house in Berlin was one night the stoppin 9 place of Washington while he was commander of the Continental Army.
 The Amphion club is to be con- graduated upon it's choice of the play, Nathan Hale.' It is one of the finest plays ever written and has been suc- cessfully produced in this country and abroad. It is rather an elaborate production for ;t High school to at tempt, because of the special scenery and costuming necessary and also be- cause of the dramatic ability needoJ to play the leading roles.
 The play will be given on Fridl y evening. March F, in the High school auditorium. Tickets are already on sale and can be exchanged at Strom's. Main street.

JUST MENTi0Nl..u -.
Here Are 4 Few Instances on Record
Which II Would Seem Hard
to Beat.

There was a case described in the
papers recently in which a man, hur-
rying to seek his bride who had failed
to keep her appointment at the church.
slipped, and a revolver which he had
In his pocket went off. He was wound
ed, and to increase the injury the po-
lice summoned him for carrying arms
without license. And, Of course, the
wedding was interfered with.
Almost on par was the case,
which happened some time ago, of a
little boy-of course, naughty little
bOy-who was comfortably and hap
PLY engaged in stealing apples from
a farmers orchard. He was getting
along very nicely, with pockets that
were really bulging, when COW
strolled under the tree. The animals
appearance startled the boy; he
slipped, and fell on the back of the
cow.
The impact scared the COW, and 1t
made straight for home with an ex-
ceedingly unwilling passenger clinging
tightly to its back. The farmer hap
pened to be at home to receive the COW,
and, as the boy fell off his pockets
emptied themselves of their store of
apples. Let us draw veil over the
ensuing tragedy Of the farmer and the
naughty little apple stealer.
The scene was Hyde Park corner. A
very well-dressed man, evidently hur-
rying to Victoria station, cut across
the road. He slipped and fell. His
bag strongly objected to this rough
treatment, and promptly emptied itself
of its weekend contents. The man
was nearly run over; some of the
things out of the bag were quite run
over, and the only consolation the
man got was the remark of a passing
woman, who said that she admired his
taste in pajamas!
And the last example Of hard luck.
1t happened on the east coast. He
was an enthusiastic fisherman. He
had had very successful day, and
proudly exhibited his catch to
stranger. Then he got another bite.
In his excitement he overbalanced.
Fortunately the water wasn't deep. He
touched bottom and came up with an
enormous crab clinging viciously to
his leg.
When he crawied out he found that
the stranger had disappeared with his
catch of fish, and that his fishing rod
had gone for trip to sea- But what
really broke his heart was the action
of a facetious pier attendant, who
threatened to run him in for bathing
without a proper costume From An
