Hartford, Jan. 7 The state free employment bureau has Just received a somewhat unusual request for. -.help. This is a call f or five miners from the Kaolin Co. of Cornwall, Conn., for em ployment in . their - underground clay are desired, both married and single. "Single men are requested, to bring their own bedding with thejn," is the company's remark. To those who are willing to work underground, liberal wages will ,be paid. J A request for work of such sort is very unusual, and it is somewhat surprising to learn that Hartford should be considered as a field for the recruiting of miners. The last week, according toSupt. Clarke, has been one of unusual pressure - of misiness at the employ ment bureau."' The office has been regularly filled with a crowd of ap plicants for work. , There have been twice as many as there was at the corresponding time last year, despite the great' prosperity enjoyed by Hart ford this winter.

Brincker hoft, of the Second Batallion, Naval Militia, Brooklyn, died at -the Brook lyn hospital.. ; He . was 52 years of age. : ' ' The first foreign foreign 'occupation oil the -French seaport of Calais came to an end 63 years ago to-day, when $he English, who had held the town for: more than two centuries, were driven .-on by the Duke of Guise. The French again iost Calais in 1596, when it was taken by the Spaniards, who held it for two years, wten it was restored to thef French. Calais was one of the most important of the Kai ser's objectives in the present war, sinrft its nrnximitv "to Ens-land wmilffl pears in enable him to "hold a pistol at the view"' heart of John Bull," but the , Ger man efforts ended in failure. The loss of Calais was a great blow to Queen Mary, and she died soon after ward, declaring that "you will find 'Calais engraved upon my heart. The victory of the Duke of Guise on Jan. 7, 15 58. was not a matter .for boasting, for he led against the city an army of 30,000 men, while the English gar rison numbered only 500. At the time -of the English occupation Calais was only a fishing village, but it has become since then a highly import antport, and the French terminus of the principal route between England and the continent. It is possible, on a clear day, to see the cliffs of Eng land from Calais. Farmer Want Ads.

He was reprimanded for another exploit of which he tells: ( Wrecked Ambulance Tou can imagine how strict they (the orders) were when I tell you that Jhe four successive days the German banged away at our ambulances with particular relish, and, we -stood therg and let them gather, up their wounde 1 and never pulled a trigger.
