Waterbury Not the Only City

| The fremen of this city are not the only ones in the state that are look ing for more pay and shorter hours. In Hartford on Monday evening, ar the meeting of the board of aldermen | of that city, vote was passed that on and after April 1, 1906, the men should De given one day off in every l ten and should receive ten days off during the year, making the total num-, b Der of days off yearly, 46. The action came about because of petition sign-i ed by the members of the department and stating the condition of the fire men in other cities It will only COST the city of Hartford about $3,000 more. annually and the firenlen say that much better service will labe the result. At the present time the firemen of the capital city are in the same way as the boys of this city. They get two days q month and seven days vacation.
 One of the paragraphs ill the peti- tion ran as follows:

INSURANCE

Just at the present tiWef seems to occupy considerable spxce in the news papers all over the country Doctors, millionaires. .zenators, agents and lay men are~~all getting notoriety, but there's one thing sure, we won't see 1Ahy of the millionaires going to Jail. We won't say so much for the other fellows. However, it's all on account of money, yes, money seems to be the root of all evil, yet who is it that doesr'r care for money? But there Is one consolation about money, when they die they cannot take it with them and if they could we are sure it would do them no good. Say. those insurance fellows are almost as big conundrum as some of our city boards-you never know where you are at with them. We might say, you sometimes run more chances buying tea or coffee than you do getting insured, because if you lose your insurance you only lose Your money, but if you get poor, cheap quality tea or coffee and pay a good price for it you not only lose your money but you are liable to lose your health and possibly your life. There fore you should buy tea and coffee where you can rely on getting the quality you expect-the Good Kind. We are selling tea and coffee in Wa terbury since 1877, always made tea and coffee a study, and will take back seat from no one as to our judg
 ment on quality, and our patrons get the benefit of that judgment every time they purchase at

skipper and SnoOt made their way down the coast
OF Cuba at rapid rate, keeping close TO the land.

to a bit OF the wreck which was just awash. Snoot
baited the lines and they fished for an hour
while the tide fell, letting the hull OF the sunken
steamer rise slowly to within few feet of the
face. Finally Snnoot decided they had waited long
enough.
.Well drop back over the cabin companionway."

SnoOt undressed and plunged over the side He
came up moment later with nothing in the way of
information that he thought the boat was too
lar forward. Gales dropped her back few fathoms.
Then Smoot went down again. Five times did he
dive without result and the skipper began to jeer
at his luck. But the sailor stuck TO his purpose.
He stayed longer this time than before, and when
he came gasping TO the surface he held in his hand
