Buy Your Clothing From Some of Our
 Reliable Merchants.

Reliable Merchants.
 The town is being flooded with circulars to-day telling the people to wait for the great fire sale of clothing which would open tomorrow. Both of our daily con temporaries have accepted advertising from the concern to the extent of a few local lines. The DEMOCRAT alone refuses to look for advertising from such source or accept it at any price. We believe in protecting our home industries against invasions of this sort and would advise all our readers when they want to buy clothing to go to some reliable house and let fire sales severely alone. The sale advertised to open tomorrow may be by order of the insurance companies and again it may not. In the first place we fail to remember the particular fire on Broadway recently in which $40, 900 stock of clothing played a prominent part. And if there was such a fire how did the insurance companies hit upon Waterbury of all other places in which to dispose of the debris These are questions which people should ask themselves before buying The men who come here to en- gage in business and grow up with the town are always welcome and should re- ceive the public patronage. Here is list of clothiers who can sell you better goods and at as low prices than you can secure at so called bankrupt and fire sales: J. A. Godfrey X Co. UpSon, Singleton X Co. The Globe.
 NJ. A. Wallace.

Ten Per Cent for Us. 50 Per Cent for You


 The opening of Hirsh's ten per cent clothing company at 1351 Bank street on Saturday, October 27, is going to reduce the retail prices of clothing in Waterbury at least 50 per cent. Being extensive manufacturers we are going to sell direct to the public at exactly 10 per cent above what the good costs us. No more retail profits, no more big prices, but goods direct from the makers are just enough to cover the cost of manufacture. Suits that cost us $500, $500 and $1000 you can get for $9.80, S9.90 and $11.00.

Barnum's Game of Bluff.

The employees of P. T. Barnum in Bridge port received their wages on Saturday last in the pay envelopes which the republican managers have adopted. MT Barnum's re- sort to this device brings to mind the fact that four years ago he was so sure of gen. eral disaster following democratic success that he publicly offered to sell all his real estate at 25 per cent discount from exist ing value in case Cleveland was elected. So far from living up to his pledge MI Barnum held on te his estate at higher prices than formerly, and bought good deal more in addition. His resort tos the pay envelope device in this election will result in a general laugh at his expense.

Animals That Are disappearing,

The establishment and maintenance OF
geological garden is as much part OF
the proper work of government as build
ing schools or sending cut scientific sur
veys. 1t is q source Of instruction to the
people and an aid to the development of
science, especially in this country, by
preserving many species of wild animals
from extinction. The buffalo is already
regarded as an extinct animal. Not one,
1t is said by competent authority, remains
in the British possessions on this CONT
nent; and in this country there are two
small herds, one in Texas and the other
in the Yellowstone park, numbering to-
cether not more than 1876. The leading
scientists, not only Of America, but OF
Europe, have been calling upon our gov
eminent for years to preserve the bison
from extinction, as the Russian govern
ment las done with the European bison
or aurochS.
1t is said that, at the present rate OF
progress. the remarkable Rocky noun
tain goat will be extinct within five
years. Among the quadrureds that arc
fast diving off are the elk, moose, ante
lope, caribou, black tailed deer, grizzly
bear, wolf, beaver, otter and wolverine
The delay Of few years may mean th'
complete disappearance of some or mos
Of these. and gap in the history of thu
animal life of this continent that cal
never be filled.-Ncw Orleans Picayune

The Aching Tooth.

The Pittsburg Chronicle says: The
tooth that means to come out has
conquered all men and all women.
II has been soothed and cOaXed. 1T
has been held near the fires until the
cheek abutting it was nearly roasted.
It has been chlorofOrmed. 1t has
been fed on essence of juniper and es-
sence of peppermint and essence OF
cloves. 1t has been filled. Its nerve
has been killed. Its miserable owner
has been immured from fresh air like
a prisoner. -.
This tooth sometimes Sleep, but it
never forgets. 1t is most treacher-
Gus when it seems tranquil. 1t ulcer
ates at the roots when its possessor is
about to indite a poem, take a jour
ncy or get married. 1t longs for re-
lease and hungers for the torceps. 1t
may seem to compromise, but II
merely bides its time. Its tavorltt
recreation hour is just after midnight
when dentist and druggist. have re-
tired. If the ground is covered witt
snow and the winds piercing, it is
fairly diabolical with activity.
There is no use contesting issues
with this mutinous and remorseles
molar. Fight rheumatism ifyou vii
but throw up the sponge in this alter
cation. You have blistered you
mouth and ruined your digestive or
gans and Quarreled with your famil.
and friends long enough.
Tell the dentist to pull your heat
or and the accursed grinder with il
and live on sonp, if need be, but hav
peace once more. Jerk the abomina
ton out and it will be content, tn
everlasting plaques on it.

AN Appropriate Christmas Gift.

70 the Chronicle:
"The riches of the holiday stores SO
dazzle and embarrass one hunting for
q Christmas gift that it often puzzles
the hunter to- make selection. jew
elry shops, fashionable stores and
fancy bazars fairly bewilder the eye
with their endless array of attractions,
so that the peFpIexity and hesitation
of the giver cause species of self
torture as great rs the pleasure Of the
receiver"
TO one who complained in this
Gaerulous strain the other day, while
crowds of men, women and children
were passing along the streets, with
numerous packages and bundles,
which wore an unmistakabie holiday
air, a bright girl, sensible and sweet
withal, as the West Indies when the
sugar crop is largest, replied: ''FwO
Christmas gifts are nearly always in
good taste, flowers and pictures.
You make your choice between ma
ture and art, according to ciueum-
stances; and either gift tells its own
story"
And before me, just now rs
Christmas gift sent to friends here
from your pleasant city, whieh IS
both gifts in one. 1t is an elegant
photograph tastefully framed, OF tf'e
excursion party consisting OF the
teachers and pupils ofBethel Female
College, and a number Of ladies and
gentlemen of HOpkinsville, who WIS.,
tied Captain Crusnnan's Chrysanthe-
mum show at Evergreen Lodge last
October. The party was a merry and
happy one, and whileit was merniest
and happiest, your accomplished
artist, Mr.. w. j. McCormac, who
stands so high in his profession took
picture of the group. A pict@e OF
an excursion party Of school girls in
search of flowers, seem to fill all the
requirements of % suitable Christmas
Gift. In this case Xmas might be
spelled with triple X.
So here is many returns of happy
Christmas to the CHRONICLES, Ever
green Lodgeand McCormac's gallery
With such a rich field of selection
the gift-givers of Clarksville need
never be at loss. X. \. ~

Concerning Charms and Amulets.

A recent writer in an English magazine
tells Of the superstitions among the
cypsies and other half civilized races con-
corning charms or amulets. "a coin or
a pebble carried long in the pocket, or
around the neck, is supposed TO become
imbued with the personality OF the
wearer." These amulets are believed to
have q will of their own, TO feel affection
for their owner, and to cherish hatred
toward his enemies. Not only the
gypsies but Indian, Asiatic and African
tribes wear little tokens ''for luck" be-
lieving in their possession of dumb, half
conscious intellect. In some savage tribes
q man is known by his ''charm," or
fetch.
Our ancestors were not altogether free
from this superstition. The pouncets
carried in gold and silver boxes in the
pockets Of fine ladies were withered ap
ples stuck full Of spices, which, after long
use, were supposed to become im6uec
with the vitality or animal strength OF ths
wearer, and to ward off disease from her

editor and employees of the CHHoNf.
Gle wish the patrons and all q
"Merry Christmas" How those
happy words thrill the very soul Of
both old and young. TO the old il
carries them back to the happy days
in childhood when they were making
their little plans to surprise their
father and mother and bring Joy to
those dear to them. TO the young
1t is the brightestand cIleeTiest season
OF all the year. What planning and
calculating they do to make their
little stock of money go just as far as
possible, and how the little eyes re.
fuse to go to sleep on Christmas eve,
but will pop open to see if Old Santa
has driven up and left rocking
horse or doll, or any Of the thousand
and one things that are near and dear
a. ,"hildren's hearts. Christmas is a
regular religious festival, celebrated
all over the Christian world and
speaks with peculiar Significance to
nearly every heart, for poor indeed
is the one in spirit and in purse upon
whom settles not a little Of the mer-
riment and good cheer Of the season.
1T is not the costly diamonds or
strings Of gold that bring good cheer
to us, for oftenest the little home
made gift, wrought by loving hands,
Is far more precious.
Then here is a blessing to Christ
mas and all who enjoy and celebrate
it. Bless it for what it is and what
il brings to us, bless it as power,
and bless it as a reality! Bless it for
orr home and friends and little ones
Bless it to the poor and sorrowing!
Continue then to simeon those beau
tiful stars which the shepherds saw
.as they watched their flocks by night
Shine on in all ages, and shed thy
cladness into everyheart. We again
wish all our readers "Merry, morry
Christmas"
