Ere passion yet disorders. Steals lingeringIy like river smooth Along it's grassy borders. But. as the careworn cheek Erows war. And sorrows shafts fly thicker. e stars. that measuss life 10 man, Why seem your courses quickerg When joys have lost their bloom and
 breath.
 And life itself is vapid. Why, as We near the Falls of Death, Feel we its tide more rapid? IL may be stranre-yet who would change Times course to slower speeding, When one by one our friends have gone, And left our bosoms bleeding? Heaven gives our years a fading strength 1ndemnifying feetness- And those of youth a seeming length Proportioned tO their sweetness.

15 MILLION HOLSTERS
 PLANTED IN SOUND

Fifteen million Holsters have been planted in Long Island Sound and vicin- ity from the state lobster hatchery at Noank according to a report made to the state board of fisheries and game. This is nearly 1o,O0o,OOO more than were planted last year and establishes rec ord since the time the Noank hatchery was established in 1905.
 That years of patient work at Noank by Frank Banning and George Brown are beginning to bear fruit is evidenced by reports to the effect that although all of the past three years have been excep- tionally good for lobster catching this year surpasses its two predecessors one man taking in 1000 pounds in 90 lobster pots in single day.
 Five million eggs failed to hatch out of 20.000,000 put on the table, as the lobster men say, and this was considered remarkable average. The matching ex- tended from May 10 until the month just closed and the eggs were secured from lobsters which cost the state less than 5000. The average number of eggs i carried by each lobster is 25,0oo. It takes about five years for lobster to grow to legal size.

Miss Holden saw the two girls on the marrow street j1st off the edge of the sidewalk at it's left side and sounded her horn as she made the
 
 in time to get out of the path of the auto which instead of making the turn into the narrow roadway ran up on the sidewalk and across it with wheels on one side down in the grass of the adjacent lot
 The two girls were knocked down by the auto but fell underneath it and be- tween it's wheels so they escaped with comparatively slight injuries.
 Miss Holden is not licensed driver but it was said mad had considerable ex- perience driving. She and MT. Farrag1lt were over-Sunday guests at a cottage in Ocean Vitw place Mir. Farragut re- ported the accident and made every effort to provide full information of the case.
 Farragut was arraigned in the New London court Monday morning and fined S25 on the charge of reckless driving he being the licensed and responsible occu- | pant of the car injuring the two children. Prosecuting Attorney Daniel M. Cronin bitterly condemned tae lack of care dis. | played by drivers of cars who neglected to exercise proper precautio with regar I'd to the rights of the walking public.
