KGNy'S Dream.

Recently KELLY the Flour man had a dream and dreamt he died. When he stepped up to the gate. St Peter said, KELLY. you cannot be admitted into Heaven" KELLY asked him why not He replied, ''you are from Yankee state and will give you two guesses; which if you guess will let you go back again to do penance and if not think you can guess where you will go." At that time KELLY felt like the boy who hung onto the bal loon string when he got up twenty feet. It was death to hang on and death to let go. but he said: Well here goes for my first guess. Is ii because advertise my charity through the public press: 2" St Peter said., No, No. It was not the motive that you had in view when you advertised your charity, it was the good that it brought 10 the poor. For example, if man should donate SlOO to the Relief Bureau and ad- vertise it, people who are ready to assist in such n movement would be induced to add perhaps another hundred. The first do- nator is therefore entitled to more reward then if he gave it in silence, because the other hundred might never have been given. So you see we have no objection to YOU in Heaven because you advertised your charity" Now for the second and last chance 1t is because did not do- nate to the Relief Bureau on Scovill street, according to my meanst 7 NJ Feter an- swered: You are a Yankee at guessing. and now before you return to Waterbury let me give you a little instruction. It makes no difference who runs town meet ing or how it is conducted if it will assist the poor. and let me show you a place that is reserved for those who can. but will not, assist the people in their hour of need" Then peeped through long narrow tube and if friend Hewitt could only see what I did through that tube, he would never sell English walnuts on a town order.

SAYS a well known dealer in novelties

SAYS a we'll known dealer in novelties and variety goods especially for children: ''I do not see but our holiday trade is about the same as in former years, but find it has this marked characteristic this year. Our customers are endeavoring in almost every case to select something which is serviceable and useful. An arti- cle that is merely ornamental, or that is cheap and showy, or that serves purpose of temporary amusement only, waits for n purchaser this year. Our goods of this class are pretty much dead stock and we shall have to carry them over. The Christmas purchase habit has become too fixed to be easily broken up no matter how hard times may be, but purchasers are ex- ercising good deal of caution as to what they buy"

WHO would have thought that the dear, old, motherly American would be guilty of an unprofessional act? We must confess that the DEMOCRAT has more than once felt half-ashamed of itself for giving its aged contemporary pain by calling atten- ton to it's shortcomings. There was no motive of cruelty in the act, however. it was simply a matter of business. Neither was it breach of journalistic etiquette. Now, the American is a stickler for eti- quette, and the seeming indifference with which it treated the little truths told by the DEMOCRAT was only the first step in n strategic move for satisfaction. \ few days ago the dogs of war were let loose. An agent of the American was sent out to interview DEMOCRAT subscribers and by fair means or foul induce them to transfer their allegiance to the American. After a short campaign the circulation boomer re- tired from the field in disorder, without making n single conquest that we know of although as an inducement he offered to send his paper free for one month to DEMOCRAT subscribers. It was n picayune act. When the DEMOCRAT has anything to say about the American it talks right out in meeting. The assassin's methods are foreign to it's policy. It competes with its rivals in open market. The American will never gain the ground it has lost by such tactics.

 IT's de only sportin' town in de state, seep That's the way one of the bloods at the fight in Naugatuck the other night put it. And from what can be learned he was right. No other place in the land of steady habits could put up such a varied programme. The Peck incident was not down on the bill, yet it was the star at traction. Editor Peck. although out weighed by the big policeman who was pitted against him, made a clever fight. The crowd was on his side and when he was trying to cross-counter on his assail- ants jaw man shouted that some one ought to get brick and go to the assist ance of the press. Another offered to buy the brick. ''Whats that" said police man. who heard the offer made by the philanthropist. What will you do with the brick ?" ''I want to build block" was the answer.
