stray Leaves From Reporters Note
Book.
A STRAY leaf last week told of the nu-
merous coupon schemes encouraged by
many newspapers with the hope of work
ing up fake circulation. BY queer CO.
incidence an agent called at the DEMOCRAT
Office on the day the item was written,
in the hope of enlisting the paper in the
very scheme that was being denounced.
He argued that customers could be made
believe that they were getting something
of great value for almost nothing, while in
reality the newspaper was making a big
profit on every book sold. When he fully
understood that the DEMOCRAT was not in
the book or chrome business, however, he
changed the subject, after admitting that
it was a sign of weakness for paper de-
pending for existence on local patro-
mage to try and initiate its circulation by
coupon schemes.
The prophets who a few months ago
told us to prepare for an old-fashioned
winter have taken to the woods. A year
ago we had just emerged from one of the
longest spells of exceedingly cold weather
on record in this part of the country. 1t
began in the middle of December and con-
tinued for a month. The low temperature
recorded in that period astonishod the
oldest inhabitants. The contrast which is
offered by the mild and balmy winter we
are now enjoying is most marked Per
haps there will be a surprise in the shape
of February weather, but we can at least
felicitate ourselves upon as moderate a
January as New England has experienced
for some years.
A MAN. who has fished with success in
every pond within twenty miles of Water
bury says there is popularity about
Quassapaug lake that but few fishermen
have observed. He declares that unless
the wind is blowing from the southwest,
you might just as well haul IN your line
and return home. He has tried the ex-
pertinent repeatedly and has never known
it to fail.
THE principal weak point with most of
the young people who want to learn short
hand and type-writing. so teacher tells
me, is that they don't know enough to
write good English to begin with, They
are apt to think of stenography as some
thing complete in itself. But it is merely
an expression of good English, and the
lamentably common deficiency in this pre-
botch work that employees have to contend
with.
SOME people thought that the rule of the
relief bureau refusing to give anything to
people who had been receiving aid from
the town was little to strict. but the su-
perintendent does not think so. He says
if this rule had not obtained from the be-
ginning the relief bureau would have had
to close its doors long ago. The bureau,
he says, was established to assist people who
| did not care to see their names or the town
books and who had not been known to ask
for assistance from any source so long as
they were able to earn their own living.
The superintendent thinks that this rule
should be observed during the existence of
| the bureau. Some who are receiving aid
from the relief bureau, are not deserving
of charity, however. No charge is made
| for this pointer.

KEL |. /

Has been added to the soliciting committee,
and he intends to solicit. He makes the
following proposition to charitably dis
posed persons.
Any person who wants to send one
barrel or more to the Relief Bureau or the
Salvation Army woodward to be used for
charitable purposes he will send them q
barrel of what is now called st Louis Flour
for s.. 25. This is the same grade of -four
that Washington, jefferson, Lincoln,
Clay, Webster and all presidents and
statesmen of this country and also the
entire population of the world from
Adams time to 1860 lived on. One barrel
will feed a family of six persons 80 days.
Many people object to contributing. to
charitable enterprises because they think
that many who don't really need help take
advantage of charity. Kelly says to such
people that if they will take into consider
alton the large number of people in this
CITY who have been out of employment for
the past nine months, and the large
amount of suffering relieved during that
time by charitable enterprises, DIRECTORS
would overlook the very few who are sue,
cessful in imposing on charity. Christ
himself was deceived in selecting his dis
ciples, and can you expect distributing
committee with $40, 600 trust upon them
supply the needs of 1000 applicants men
who are willing to work three Gays out of
every nine for $4.05, without picking out
the first time the unworthy ones? The
same with the Relief Bureau.
Don't look at the little drawbacks, gentle
men, but look at the working classes
among whom no strikes have been known,
nor their faithfulness to their employees
questioned, honest to the merchants in
paying their bills and doing their trading
home. KELLY says these people deserve
assistance now that the tide has turned
against them. There is no time that a
man feels as happy as when he gives
charity to deserving person.
