Waterbury evening Democrat., 1895-06-11

l.
 that, after almost superhuman efforts to borrow money for the payment of my in- come tax ill April, I was obliged to write the president as follows:
 Colonel Grovtr Cleveland. Fearless Executive
 and Fisherman of the United States:
 FRIEND CI.Ev EI-AND-I am mortified almost t0 death to write you, making what is called a ''pNOr mouth regarding the income tax and my failUr" to put up same. At this writing of course have slender hopes that the act will b" ,pCllVd CT declared ungrammatical by the supreme court, hut in the meantime I have been repeatedly dunnrd for same and only to- day have had tho courage to write and ask you to give me time. If it will be the same to you. am willing to assume part of the na- tlonal dt ht HaynC il Gs il falls due in 60 or 70 years but to rrIli2" at onco on collateral O. other property during this metallic strinCency Is quite impossible.
 The government k fully aware that have ts~'n a stanrh friend in time of sore need Net have never asked the United States for a favor. If now my income tax should be allow EVl tn hN'Nnr delinquent and br advertised it would hurt mr with pCuplU who are now cheer fully supplying me with trump steak and other dCliCaci,S.
 Alr. President, Iwould not take up your time i'll this Way If I had not on every occasion in sVaSuu or uEt of season stood by you. You can have no idea how many times my voice has hVvn heard in your defense, even though I do
 
 tillr have fought for you against ovcrwhclrl- ing odds when prornincnt Democrats. whose names CaI! ElvC if necessary. have called you ''a }ls:' ty, stubborn, malignant, typhoid ca lanity."
 don't know how many times have been your ,i,frnd,r to the neglect of my own busi. ness l haV~ said both at homo and abroad that you s'Nnl,si to lr bigger than your party, and to enjoy h, tier health also.
 Now. as s'y, if my tax be made pay al fN l. ycU V'uil ~!-n a nutv with me that would be arCVvt"d "t th" interior department. l could Siv" yuu a St'c,nd mortgage on a good cottage organ which l am paying fur in eggs. It has pedal, voX hunana stop, flute, piccolo and tro- mo!u stops, and the agent also stops with us when he is coming this way. (Show this to MT, Lamont. III bet he will laugh.)
 Please write aS soon as possible and relieve the intense strain which is now rapidly mak- ing a middle aged man of me. Yours truly,
 E. W. ME
 P S.-Wc now have at our chccry homo three dear little girl babies of the same age. The cid est havo named Frances, the second Ruth and the youngest Esther l saw in the paper where you sent $500 10 a set of triplcts in Illinois, who were named after your family, but think that was too much. Three hundred dollars would bc ample think and thank you very kindly, MT. Cleveland E. N.
 But l have received no reply and would go OH to Washington if I felt at all sure of finding the president there.
 However. let us hasten to answer some of the questions to which I referred some time since.
 Nora, Escanaha, Mich.-Grape seeds are rCm0ved from tho mouth with the fingers. Your fianCe did perfectly right i'll ropr0aching you if you blew them out of the window, for you might have put an eye out for some casual passerhy.
 Maud, Newport -in-thc- Neck, R. l. You douhtlc>S offended the duke by snickering at him when he filled his cof- fee cup full of mustachc, coming out only to shake himself like a big. damp dog. or a big, damp fool. as the case may bc. American girls who cannot be dignificd during tho cuttings up of a duke are not suitable SOcietv for high bred mCndicantS from over tho seas. Fie, Maudir! Tut. tut! say It s queer to Ill" that you cannot tut,
 Eleanor. . street. N. w, Washington Yes. yuu arc right. The custom now SD well established "f riding up and down Pennsylvania avenue together and speak ing pieces on the front porch of the capi- tUl un thr ith If March was inaugurated by Mir Cleveland and Mir Harrison, and some think II may continue for years.
 PeSSimist. Avenue \, New York City. -You should not fold yuur napkin while visiting q friend and at the close of a meal unless you remain longer than one meal and rec0gnize the napkin on the second round. Then you may safely do 1t up, taking care not to draw too much attention while doing it. A good plan is to get everybody to look out of the window at the elevated train for few moments, during which you may deftly fold the fool thing into a large spongy mass and be ready to converse when they look around again.
 Rosebud. Hillgirt, N. C.-No, I can not recommend any depilatory as abso- lutely safe You make a great mistake, however. in trimming them of with the scissors And when you do so, if your Rffianced refers to it and sympathizee with the grieved and astonished wind, he Is unworthy of you. Cast him aside, though 1t cost you many a bitter tear. Tell him to avaunt and then see that he does so.
 Lulu, West Superior, Wis-Jally is eaten mostly with fowl or game and in small quantities If you took the entire dish from the waiter and used it to make ''jen sanwitch," as you write me, you made great big error, and, as Uncle Remus says, there's where you broke your molasses jug" Nothing is sweeter than an innocent, healthy girl, Lulu, but people of refinement these days do not always have enough to eat, it seems to me, and even at the abode of wealth have often gone without butter and coffee through the entire meal, and then, as if remorseful perhaps, the hostess would try to make 10 cents worth of coffee do for dozen grown people. We have got to put up with these things, Lulu, if we are going to lead the pace that kills.
 Name, Centralia, Ills.-Yes, you may take up the bone of smaller game in your fingers at table, but here in the east they are now drawing the line at 4-year-old steers If you are fond of the marrow, and the thigh bone of Holstein COW is given you, remove the marrow with a cheese scoop or get the butler to whittle ont R nine paddle that will it the open.
