one of the gentlemen of the town
while walking through was very bad
ly frightened by what he thought was
bear, and began firing at it, hitting
it four times, till at the last fire he
fell, and thinking he had killed him
he began walking towards it, and
when he came close to the supposed
bear, he finds to his very aggravated
mind that he had killed Sam Larson's
ole mule, Jack.
Moral-Never shoot at anything by
the name of Jack.

THE DANBURY MoNsTRosITY.

Those who regularly attend the Dan
bury fair must have noticed the steady |
lowering of the standard of the fakirs,
which have become such an important
feature OF this great over-grown, money
making institution. The sale and use of
Intoxicating drinks each year becomes
more open and lawless; the greater
range and variety of the forms Of gam
bling, which flaunt you In the face at
every turn, are more noticeable. But
this year a great step downward was
taken, by the introduction Of the dancing
girls, which performance "no boys,
youths or women are allowed to see !;
none but men," What is the Inference?
The officers of this institution are men
OF good standing in society-men who,
we do not suppose, would patronize
these features of their fair, or want their
families to, or think very much of those
VINO uiu. let TOT the money Iney pay
they are allowed to tempt others. Where
does the responsibility restp Many con-
scientlous persons ask themselves, ia it
right for them to patronize an institu-
ton which, by permitting such things,
becomes a menace to the morals of the
community? Certainly this association
cannot expect the moral support of the
thinking community in the face of such
facts as are evident to every observant
Visitor at the fair. In an Institution
upon as good a financial basis as this,
there Is positively no excuse for this
state Of things. Last year the receipts
from fakirs, ETC., were $3,747.33; state
appropriation, 1908; sale of tickets,
81, 760.55; grand stand, $2,94l; total
of all receipts, $26, 12S.s7. An eight per
cent dividend was declared. A con-
slant reserve of over $4,000 is kept on
hand, and large permanent improve
ments made each year.
Let us hope wiser counsels may pre-
vail and nothing hereafter be admitted
which will offend in any manner the
most fastidious who may visit 1t.
