How to Prepare Manuscript.


Write upon pages of single size;
Cross your It's and neatly dot your is:
On one side only let your lines be seen
Both sides filled up announce a verdant green.
Correct-yes, recorrect-all that you write,
And let your ink be black, your paper white,
For spongy foolscap of muddy blue
Betrays mind of the same dismal hue.
Punctuate carefully, for on this score. II
Nothing proclaims practiced writer more.
Then send it off. And, lest 1t merit lack,
Inclose stamp with which to send it back.
But first pay all the postage on it, too.
For editors look blank on ''six cents due"
And murmur, as they run the effusion DER,
"A shabby fellow and wretched bore!'
Yet here it goes; take of it a copy clean
Writers should own q copying machine.
Little they know the time that's spent, and
care,
In hunting copy" vanished who knows
where?
Bear this in mind, observe it to the end,
And you shall make the editor your friend.

The Awakening.
| Ask me not Of love. do not know
How lilies blow,
| Or first the tufted larch begins its green;
How secretly the apple bloom grows white,
| Or how the lilacs spin tAeir purple sheen
Upon the russell boughs In one short night.
| know not how the locust, blossoming
In early spring,
| Expands the withered roughness of its cell
Till all the air is perfuined with its breath,
| Or how the furry willow catkins swell
| To sudden freshness from a stem of death.
| Day breaks, and, lol the daffodils unfold
Their hearts Of gold.
| The jasmine bursts its buds within the hour
| The barren meadow, wooed by one warm sun,
Arrays itself in myriad leaf and flower
! know mot how these miracles are done.
Nor know by what sweet and subtle art
| Love warns the heart.
| clearer sapphire crowns the mellow noon,
A mystic glamour gilds the commonplace,
brighter crescent rims the golden moon,
And all things image one beloved face.

Successful Battalion Drill in the A. mory
 Last Night.
 The already very small drill floor of the armory was made much smaller last night by the large gathering of friends of the military boys who were on had to witness the closing of the drill season. Major Pryor and the American band were in fine feather and added much to the excellency of the different formations. Promptly at half past seven came the guard mount. Captain A. J. Wolff of Go G acted as new officer of the day; Captain J. Geddes of Go A, old officer; Sergeant Major B. Carter filled his own position; Lieutenant H. Garter of Go A. adjutant; Lieutenants Fitzpatrick and Sandland, officers of the guard. First Sergeant Halllnan and Colo nel Sergeant Wagner took out Go G's de- tails and First Sergeant Heebner and Cor poral King, who acted as sergeant, took out Go As details. Sergeant Danaher of Go G was senior sergeant of the guard and Sergeant Brooks of Go A, junior sergeant. Guard mount required four corporals, which were filled by Corporals Lynehan, Lawlor and Quinn of Go G and Corporal Humphrey of Go A. The sergeants were Danaher of Go G, Hampson and Brooks of Co A. After the guard mount. which was we'll executed, the guard preceded by the band passed in review of Colonel Doherty and Major Dickinson. Battalion movements came next under command of Major Dickinson with Lieu tenant Beach of New Haven battalion ad- jutant; Sergeant Major Carter in his posi- tion. The companies were divided by letter, not number, as usual. G was in command of Captain Wolff; c, Lieutenant Fitzpatrick; A, Captain Geddes; B, Lieu tenant Sandland The movements were executed as we'll as possible under the ex- isting tactics, but it was the general opin- ion that the old tactics are much prettier and more easily executed.

STOLEN BICYCLE FOUND.

Thomas Smith Taken te TorringtOn
 Charged With Sts aling the Wheel.
 An item appeared in the DEMOCRAT last Friday telling wheelmen and dealers to mo- tify the police if they saw astranger riding a combination Rambler bicycle, and there by hangs a tale.
 The wheel in question was stolen from Torrington Thursday night. The owner, James F. Leahy, traced the thief as far as Thomaston by the track made in the road by half inflated tire. At Thomaston there were so many crossroads that the the track was lost, but the owner suspecting that the thief continued on to Waterbury came here and notified the police. He suspected a young man named Smith, whose family moved to Waterbury from Torrington a couple of weeks ago. Young Smith had been hanging around Torring- ton, sleeping in barns, but was missing the day after the wheel disappeared.
 Yesterday young fellow called at D. B Wilson's store with a bicycle answering the description of the stolen wheel, which he left for repairs, one of the tires being punctured. He gave the name of Thomas Smith. He is a brother of the man who was suspected of having stolen the wheel E. w. Wilson, who had read the item in the DEMOCRAT, at once suspected that it was the stolen wheel and MT Leahy was summoned from Torrington. He readily identified his wheel and this morning when Smith called for the machine he was turned over to Officer Tehan. He was taken to Torrington on the HIP train.
 He claimed to have received the bicycle from young fellow named Dorsey from Torrington several days ago. Dorsey S father was in the town this morning trying to make a settlement, but was referred to the Torrington authorities. He is not sure that his son stcle the wheel, but is willing to settle rather than have the Toy brought into court.
 Two morals may be drawn from he story: Don't steal bicycles, and advertise in the DEMOCRAT

LETTERS FROM THEPEoPLE
A Card From E. McAlenney.

Card From E. McAlenney.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Would you please insert the following in your paper in answer to a statement made by Alice Cassidy to Sunday Herald reporter. Miss Cassidy says thet Rev P. F. McAlenney swore in the superior court in New Haven that he was a second cousin to the late Joseph Cassidy. She asserts that he swore falsely and is not even fourth or fifth cousin as far as she could ascertain. I wonder from whom Alice received her information or to whom she applied. Certainly it could not have been to her mother, who could easily>have assisted her in her great dilemma. But just for Miss Cassidy's information I shall inform her that Rev P. F. McAlenney is just one and one half degrees removed from the full kindership 10 the late Joseph Cassidy. So you see, however unpleasant it may be, facts are facts and cannot be contradIcted, and I challenge Miss Cassidy to give proof that will contradict the above statement.

The T. ?. Judson Store

Big mark down on our whole stock of Ladies and Children's Coats, Jackets and Capes, beginning Friday and continuing until all our garments are sold.
 It is very early in the season to think of making such a sacrifice but we must have the space the garments new occupy in our Cloak room to enable us to properly dis play Ladies Suits that are daily arriving. We received our Spring garments early in the season, have had a satisfactory trade on them and propose to close out all we now have on hand at greatly reduced prices. Not a single garment will be re- served, all will be marked down to so low a price that many who have been waiting for the June mark down, can take advan- tage of this opportunity and purchase now and by so doing get months wear from garment just when it is most needed. We wi ,h to be understood, not garment will reserved. Our entire stock will go on sale Friday at big sacrifice. Black Diagonal Jackets with large gathered sleeves, reefer style, full skirt. Light mixed covered coats. close fitting, full sleeves and skirts. High grade Jackets of every description, all to be sold very cheap. Very handsome black and colored Capes, in browns, tans, navy, grey and light mixtures. Beautiful Black Moire Capes with jet and lace trimmings all going to be closed out at once.
 In Children's Reefers and Coats we have all sizes from to 16 years in garments that we considered exceptionally good value and they were, but now they are all to be sacrificed. These goods which we offer at this sacrifice sale are new this spring all in the very latest styles. It seems shame to cut the prices as we are doing but we must have the room. Our suits are demanding more room and we must have it for them, so the coats have to give way to the suits.
 We have some specially good things in Children's and Ladies' Hosiery and Un- derwear We shall put on sale Friday, two specials. One is handsome Ecru Jersey Vest at 121c. This would be good value at .25c. Not more than 15 dozen in all and they wont last long. l,,2- -oms Our second special bargain is boys or girls ribbed Cotton Hose, finished feet, double heel and toe.,5,rAll sizes to 9s for 12ac. The tan color and black Cotton Hose for ladies that we are selling for 1Oc and 12c are going quick and they ought to.
