George Haskell, custodian of Man- 
chester’s Town hail, is now seeking a 
reputation as a fisherman. One day 
last week he caught a big eel in the 
mud flat in back of the Town hall. 
“His Slipperiness” had been left high 
and dry by the ebbing tide when dis- 
covered by the guardian of the Town 
hall. An old pair of tongs in the 
basement of the hall were brought 
into service and George dined on eel 
potpie. So much for the eel. His 
dried and leathery skin is now on ex- 
hibition in the office of the janitor; 
hence another eel yarn. The other 
evening a coming young lawyer 
paused in that part of Town hall long 
enough to listen to the story of the 
capture of Mr. Eel. 
“I told a fellow that eel was longer 
than my arm,” said Mr. Haskell. 
“But he wouldn’t believe it.” 
“Oh, yes,” said the sober-faced 
lawyer, measuring the skin along his 
arm, “it’s a good eel longer.” 
TREMONT TEMPLE CONCERTS. 
All bookings have been completed 
for the course of six concerts given in 
Tremont Temple during the coming 
year. The concerts begin Thursday 
night, Nov. 23, with an operatic con- 
cert in which the artists will be Mar- 
cella Craft, the celebrated soprano of 
the Munich opera, who is said to be 
the most artistic singer now before 
the public. Miss Craft will be as- 
isted by Vera Barstow, the violinist, 
who stands in the front rank of wo- 
man wielders of the bow, and Albert 
Edmund Brown, the New England 
baritone, who is rapidly winning na- 
tional attention. The second concert 
will reintroduce to Boston, Evelyn 
Scotney the Australian coloratura 
soprano who has returned from a 
triumphal tour of Australia, and How- 
ard White, baritone and interpreter 
ef folk songs. 
A postage stanmp is on the tip of 
many a man’s tongue who never talks 
about it. —
