Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-01
Trust Illustrated.

A 3-year-old little girl boarded a Kingston City horse car one day re- gently. She folded her hands compla- gently and looked solemnly about her. When the driver reached the West Shore railroad station he opened the door and asked the girl where she was going. "Where me doin'? Why, to Willie an Katie house, to be sure," was the an- swer. "Where do they live?' inquired the driver. ''Why, ou know Katie an Willie. Me want to go sere." The baby told her name to the sorely perplexed driver, and he carried her back and forth on his route until a responsible party took the child in charge and restored her to her distracted parents, who were seeking everywhere for the little wan derer, who had gone off visiting "an loney by my own telf," as the wee one cunningly put Livingston Freeman.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-01
Pine Products.

In the Ijandes district of western France, on the Gironde, the soil is sandy and will grow little but pines, of which forests have been successfully cultivated. The inhabitants subsist almost exclu- sively upon the revenues derived from the production of pit props, railway ties, telegraph poles, fuel and resin. The annual shipments of pit props from Bordeaux to England now amount to about 175,000 tons, which is twice as much as we shipped ten years ago. The ties and poles are used mainly in France. A large quantity of young pines are also shipped to England for manufacture into paper. The poorer classes, especially those farthest from transportation facili- ties, give their attention to resin, but there is said to have been a serious de- cline in the exportation of that article from Bordeaux through competition from the United States, which has greatly in creased its exports, and is the chief source of supply.
 This has been a serious misfortune to the inhabitants of the Landes district. Pine oil is made from the refuse of resin left i'll making turpentine. It is used ex- tensively in Bordeaux as an Illuminating oil. It burns brightly. is cheaper than petroleum and is non-explosive. It is also prepared and sold to some extent in this country, patents having recently been taken out for its production. In France the pine does not appear to suffer from the extraction of resin, where care is used, but on account of it the wood is said to be better fitted for certain pur- poses, such as tho manufacture of paper and pyroligneous acids. The Landes forests arc of comparatively recent ori- gen.-Northwestern Lumberman.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-01
THE POLICY ORDINANCE.

It is high time the city fathers should pass that ordinance to make policy gambling criminal and the packers of the game criminals.
 Of course since the DEMOCRAT began its crusade against the policy Kings the vile creatures have been less cheeky and less defiant in Haunting their contempt for law and order in the face of decent community. But they are watching like hawks the action of the court of common council, ready and eager to come from their hiding places if this skin game.
 The law committee has now had plenty of time to adjust the ordinance that was committed to it four weeks ago and to so frame it that Waterbury will stand side by side with her sister cities of the state in making policy gambling amena- ble to penal CT actment.
 The best portion of the community favors the passage of the ordinance and demands, in the good name of the city, that Waterbury be no longer paradise for policy sharks and skin gamblers who live off the foolish credulity of those who have a passion for testing feeble fortune. It will hardly do to ignore the voice of our honest citizens in order to cater to the vices and passions of the criminal and foolish classes.
 There is not single thing that can be said in defense of policy playing, not a single idea that can be advanced to show that it is desirable to individual or com munity. And we do not believe that any man with sense of honor or decen- cy would venture to stand up in public and say a word in favor of the game or of those who back it. It is the meanest, most contemptible and skinniest kind of skin robbery, with nothing to commend it but the brass in the faces of those that live by it.
 In the homes of many a victim of policy want sits by the board because the head of the household is consumed by his passion for policy gambling, and the money that should go to the support of those dependent on him is poured into the coffers of of the policy Kings whose jewels and diamonds represent the tears and misery of starving wives and chil dren. If those city fathers who can sec anything to commend in throwing the mgis of law around this skin gambling will take trip into the homes of some of their victims, we think they would blush for the words they could utter ir defense of the game.
 The passage of the prohibiting ordi.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-01

IF the court of common council of 1889 would do something to which in the future it's members could point with pride let it pass the ordinance prohibit ng policy gambling in Waterbury. If the council should fail of it's duty in this matter we predict an era of gamb- ling in our midst beside which anything that has gone before would be the merest bagatelle. The city demands it be rid of the curse of policy gambling and policy Kings. Both are stench in the community and should walk the plank.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-04-01

nance now in the hands of the law com mittee is demanded by every sentiment of justice and propriety, and we call on the city fathers to pass it unanimously. We hope, too, that a rising vote will be taken on it's passage, in order that those who would abet gambling and gamblers may be known to their constituents and to the community. Pass the ordi- nance at to-night's meeting. Then the police will hunt the policy Kings from our midst.

A Boy of the Present.

"It appears to me-" said another man in the party, that the youngsters nowa- days go ahead much faster than they did when l was young. Now, for instance, the other day overheard my small son call his little sister 'chippy.' Ireproved him for so doing, when ne answered, All boys is kids, and all girls is chippies,' as though wondering at my ignorance of the current vernacular. When awoke the other morning found the boy wide awake in his crib beside the bed. As turned to look at him he saw that my eyes were open, and he said to me: Pa, I've got a new one for you Of course, naturally expressed a desire to hear it. Raising himself upon one elbow, he looked me square in the face and recited this:
 "A big bull pup with curled up tail,
 A very small boy with big tin pail;
 They tried this scheme, but it would not do, And they buried the boy where the daisies grew
 "Well, of course, howled. If I had ever had the nerve to spring such an epic on my own father when was his age would have been obliged to stand up to my meals for a week. It only goes te show the precocity of the youth of the present day."-Chicago Herald.
