turned circular saying that he must have
shillings as guarantee of good faith before
considering the matter. The police arrested
him after he had received many thousand sp-

had made with friend that within a month
he could get 5000 applications for situation

About Eve years ago young Englishman
applied to the Jewell Betting company in
Hartford for work, saying that he was a
belt maker, and had worked at Halifax, near
Liverpool, England. When asked what
wages he had been receiving he replied that
he had been paid 90 ski1lings a week, or
about s5. The young man was put to work
on 81 per week, with the understanding that
If BE proved to be the expert he said he was,
his wages should be advanced. His ability
was soon demonstrated and his pay increased
from 81 to SO, and then to 50 per week. He
told his employers that he paid So week
for boad in England and s. here; but, as he
was earning 81 week more here, he thought
he could afford it, especially as the quality Of
the board was so far superior to what he had
been having. In short, he considered him.
self better off here than in England. He
will be a voter at the coming election, and
tells his friends that he intends to vote fol
the ticket that befriends the laboring man by
defending the tariff.
