 Every now and then some little incl dent springs up showing the value of the DEMOCRAT as an advertising medium. Yesterday afternoon the Rev J. w.

Another man who had been fol- lowed by a strange dog also called about the same time hoping to secure the re- ward. A word to the wise is sufficient in this case.
 The woman who has been victimizing Waterbury and Bridgeport with the wax flower game was in Birmingham about three weeks ago. She left few traces there and it is yident that she fleeced a good many. She said that her invalid daughter had made the flowers and she was trying to raise some money on them as she was in needy circumstances. Fifteen cents a chance was all that was asked and it is probable that many took them. In Birmingham she said she re- sided in Ansonia and showed 150 names on her book which she said were sub- scribed that day. How much she really did manage to get will probably never be known.
