Stray Leaves From Reporters Note
Book.
.tOH, you fellows are all right, you can
deadhead it everywhere" was a remark
made to the writer the other day. 1t was
gross libel, and yet was but an express
sion of the feeling many people have con-
corning the press. The fact is, the Ameri-
can press is the most liberal giver in the
land. It is expected to give strength to
the weak, eyes to the blind, bread to the
hungry. It is asked to cover up the in
firmities, hide the weaknesses, wink at
quacks and fatter the vain. 1t is, in
short, expected to be oil things to all men.
If it looks for any reward it is denounced
as a mean and sordid sheet. There is no
interest under the whole heavens that is
expected to give so much to society with
out pay or thanks as the press.
"WHY is the health officer of Waterbury
paid a salary of $3.50 a year?" was the
very pertinent question put to the writer
the other day. In itself the salary looks
insignificant, but when it is known that in
addition to the salary large fees are
charged by the health officer, making O
total of from 81 500 to $4,000 for the year,
the question contains much food for
thought. 1t seems to the writer that the
city would get better returns for the
money if a fair salary was paid to the
health officer in lieu of all fees. Under
the present arrangement, except when
there is an outbreak of smallpox or some
other contagious disease, the health officer
has practically nothing to do.
THE presence of the Rev Mr. Elsdon at
the reception rendered to Monsignor
Satolli was one of the most hopeful signs
of the times. 1t was especially gratifying
to see Rev Mr. Elsdon and Father O'Don-
nell conversing pleasantly together. The
meeting may lead to better feeling be-
tween Catholics ard Protestants than has
existed in Waterbury for some time. And
after ALL why should not Protestants and
Catholics be friendly with each other. In
a community like Waterbury they are mu-
tually dependent one on the other. Catho-
lies are not conspiring to overthrow the
government, and on the other hand the
| great majority of Waterbury Protestants
are not so strongly prejudiced as many
Catholics suppose. This is not an A. P.
A. town, for which let us give thanks.
| THERE was a miniature flood on South
Main street, west side, below Grand street,
during the storm last night. There is a
catch basin at that point, but it is blocked
by couple of the new rails of the Trac-
ton company and when the down.
pour came the sidewalk was covered
with water and sand to the
depth of several inches. Fortunately
there was convenient outlet by which
the water found its way to Great brook, or
the Traction Co would have had a bill of
| damages to pay. This afternoon Street
Inspector Kelley waited upon Superinten-
dent Bradley and left orders to have the
rails along the company's lines placed in
such position that they will not obstruct
| the cutters or catch basins.

AN EXPLODED BELIEF.
There Are Women Who Can Sharper
Pencils After All.


Pencils After All.
Among what are supposed to be the
few universally admitted truths is this:
A woman can not sharpen pencil. 1t
seems to be almost what the minis.
terial brotherhood would call unset
Ting" to say it, but this is not a truth
after all, even if it is universally ad-
mitted; a woman can sharpen a lead
pencil There is in a far downtown
Office a charming young woman, as
many such there be in far downtown
offices. The other day visitor no
ticed that her lead pencil was eXcep-
tionally well sharpened.
''Who sharpens your lead pencils for
you?" inquired the visitor
'Nobody-do it myself" answered
the young lady with great decision.
The visitor arched his eyebrows and
looked as incredulous as he knew how.
eff you don't believe it I'll sharpen
yours for YOU" said the young lady
with a note of defiance in her voice.
The visitor produced a somewhat
battered-looking pencil which he had
just borrowed from friend. She took
it in her left hand with the point aimed
at the ceiling, and then from some
mysterious place in her desk produced
one of the most formidable carpenter S
chisels which it had ever been the lot
of the visitor to meet. 1t must have
been at least sixteen inches long, and
the blade could not have been less
than an inch and a quarter wide.
Without the least hesitation she ap-
piled the chisel to the pencil and be-
gan shaving off slices of wood around
the point. Before the visitor regained
control of his organs of speech she
handed the pencil back to him, sharp
ened better than he could have done it
himself.
Are we, or are we not, fit to vote?''
asked the young lady archly.
Vote cried the astonished visitor.
"Why, you are fit to conduct a ward
primary"
And the young lady put her chisel
away and smiled with superior air

A WONDERFUL SYSTEM.

Catches Mail Robbers.

ts That by Which Uncle Sam Spots and
Catches Mail Robbers.
"The system employed by the United
States post office department in tracing
thefts from the mail is so perfect that
it is utterly impossible for anyone to
rob the mail many times without being
detected" said man we'll posted in
the workings Of Uncle Sans big postal
system. Every now and then yon read
of this or that person being arrested by
the post Office inspectors, but do you
know the system they use to trace the
theft?"
'Well, suppose you report that You
sent a letter or a package to New York
which never reached it's destination.
The first thing done is to find out
just what time you mailed the
matter, and from that the inspectors
can tell what train it was sent
out on. When mail matter leaves an
office it is accompanied by the card OF
the one who handled it, and it is the
same with each messenger on the
trains.
"a list is made of every man whose
hands the mail passed through or
would have passed through in reaching
it's destination, and a dot is placed Op-
posite their names. Before long an
other complaint will be made and the
same process will be gone through.
Before the mail disappeared maybe it
passed through the hands Of four OF
five of the same men as the first one,
and two dots 90 down opposite their
uames The system is kept up, and
pretty soon. if the thief is not caught
before that, five or six dots appear Op-
pOSite one or two mems names.
''Detectives are at once put to work
shadowing the suspected men, and
after becoming reasonably sure of who
is the guilty one, decOy letters come
in play. and the work of gathering
c0nyicting evidence is carried on until
the inevitable climax of arrest follows.
ITO accomplish this work it requires
a complete system Of keeping tab upon
each and every piece of mail matter
A railway messenger is allowed thirty
mistakes month, or one each day.
If he makes more he has to explain
and if he makes sixty off goes his
head.
sometimes one man does not report
another: if he does not and no mis-
takes are reported against railway
messenger. then the men in charge OF
that department begin to investigate
They know the man must make mis-
tages, and they thus force each man tc
report another, for one who sees mis-
take and does not report it is as guilty

DOES ANYONE KNOW

Does anyone know, of your heart and of Minis.
The sorrow and song
The Demon Of sin and the angel divine
The right and the wrong:
The fear O. the darkness, the hope of the day.
The ebb and the flow
Of dread and desire forever and aye,
Does anyone know?
Does anyone dream of the trust that is yours,
The love that is mine:
The warmth and the worth Of the cup that
each pours
OF richest red wine
The hate that is black as the midnight of grief
The anguish and woe:
The sadness Of doubt and the bliss of belief.
Does anyone know?
Does anyone see all we have in the heart
Tolove and to hate;
OF lifes every motive intricate part,
OF chance and Of fate:
The sunshine of song and the shadow Of sighS.
The roses and snow;
half vanished face and sparkle of eyes
Docs anyone know?
Does anyone harken to music of bells
And the moan Of the sea:
And the secret the forest SO mystically tells
To you and to me;
The echo of voices that ever respond
In tones soft and low
To prayers we are breathing into the beyond
Does anyone know?

A reply which was at once wise and
witty is said to have been made by a
gentleman to whose decision in regard
to a certain matter two pretty young
girls appealed. They were discussing
the question as to what constitutes
beauty in hand, and differed greatly
in opinion. At last they referred the
matter to the old man, of whom they
were both very fond. MY dear" said
the old gentleman, with kindly
smile, 1.-The question is too hard one
