 "WHo buys these comic valentines ?" asked the reporter of young woman in one of the South Main street stores..
 "Oh, everybody; children, women and even men," sine replied. ''What kind do men buy. Oh, they buy the funny ones mostly, that reflect on the other men. Sometimes, though, they get some that cut women deeply; then I know the men have been tilted, and they take this way to get their revenge"
 ''Who buys the real hateful ones meant for women?"
 ''The women, as rule. They send out most of the ones that attack the character of one of their sex. You know it is said that when a woman starts out to do a thing she never stops half way, and the bitterest and most insulting are not too savere for some women. Young girls seem to take great delight in sending quaintance. They sometimes ask us to address the envelope as disguise
 As long as people like to be fooled just so long will the tramp dealers in shoddy clothing make a living. Laws cannot re- strain them, it seems. It remains for the press and the people to drive them out of Connecticut, which has long been the dumping ground for worthless trash served up by itinerant dealers. If people would only stop moment to reason it out they would readily see that the home merchant is in a position to give better bargains than these wanderers. Local competition is such that clothing is sold at very small margin of profit and it is fact that at times 1t is sold for less than actual cost at the close of certain seasons. Nine out of every ten of the fire sales, called, are frauds, the stuff handled, which bears the earmarks of the foul sweatshops of New York or Boston, never having been puri- fled by fire. Several months ago dealer started fire sale on Bank street, having for $50 obtained license to do business. When a DEMOCRAT reporter made inquiries concerning the fire, after the paper had re- fused an advertising contract of $25, the manager refused to impart the desired in formation and shortly afterwards pulled up stakes and sought pastures new. It was brought out in court yesterday that the sale going on at present is conducted by the same fellow, who is doing business under the license secured last fall. It is for the interest of people to buy from the home merchants, to whom the trade rightfully belongs. They help to pay the taxes and make the city prosperous. The American, too, should take a leaf from the DEMOCRATS catechism and deny these transients the use of its columns. or per haps some day the local merchants may re- taliate
