Discomfort as AN IDEAL.
its Effect on COnservatIsm-COnv
tiOnS Not All OutgrOvn.

From the Chicago Post.
II the report is correct Prof. Albion w
Small. of the University OF Chicago. IS
responsible for the interesting statement
that discomfort is to-day a pr.nciple-an
ideal. He sees men unwilling 10 settle
down under an established order OF
things, Envy, ambition, knowledge, or
experience Of the possibilities of change
and recurrent opportunity keep even the
average man alert, restless, and uneasy.
The accuracy Of Prof. SmaTs discrim-
nation no one can well dispute. The old
conservatism itself has become self-con-
scious. AcquIescence in the established
order Of things is no longer comfortably
entertained in America. a tinge of anx-
iety has made alert the old guard that a
generation ago took its rewards for
granted and looked only to increase
them. The conservatism that exists to-
day is not obese and Obtuse. It has
sought to become intelligent. and with
the excuses Of radlcalism It tends 70 ap-
pear more and more so, for recently the
pendulum has often swung across the
line Of common sense
But conventions are not all outgrown.
The radical makes unreasonable demands
on human nature in asking il 10 abandon
every customary idea-even the ideas
that long experience has ratified. COM
promises though they be. In his virile
and VainglOriOus youth the radical may
fling OF every clothing garment of con-
ventiOn and stride out unhampered and
unprotected. In his strength he may de-
mand that the strong denude themselves
for the weak. forgetting his own lusty
self-sufficiency. His ideal is inspiring
and in nigh degree sustaining II IN
doubleday surpasses in true nobility that
of careful conservatism. But the phil
osophy Of life must be practical as well
as pOetCal. And the noisy radical. de-
handing an eXaltatiOn that Is unc0m-
Portable IL not actually unnatural, reaf-

States as soon as a woman marries her

AMERICAN WOMEN
ARE PROGRESSIVE

Uncle Sans daughters are beyond
doubt the most advanced. capable, and
courageous of all womankind- There
seems to be nothing under the sun that
the American woman can't do if she
but makes up her mind to it. When the
last census was taken 100 different kinds
of occupations were given. and women
were represented in all of them, except in
the army and navy, and as street car
drivers and telegraph linemen. We have
several hundred female blachsmiths and
plumbers, quite number of lady under
takers, and thousands of lawyers, clergy
men. dentists. architects. commercial
travellers, and physicians who are women.
Twenty years ago IL a woman had TO
make her own living. about the only
chance she had was to become school
teacher Then she began going into Of
fees and stores. and now she has tried
almost all the jobs that formerly be-
longed to men. except soldering and
climbing telegraph poles.
Cynthia Westover Alden. president and
founder of the International Sunshine
Society. has probably earned money in
more different ways than any other
American woman. She once cooked for
sixteen farmhands on a ranch in the
West Then she taught a borderland
school, sang in church choir, appeared
in concerts. was forelady of tent
factory. was superintendent in candy
factory, inspectress of a street-cleaning
department. reporter with notebook and
camera, and finally editor of daily
newspaper.

THE POLICE COURT.
J. E. Santora Disagreed With Gus
 toner and Was Fined.

Judge Burpee held city court to- day and Attorney McGrath prose- cuted John B. Santora, who runs a fruit stand at the corner of Orange and East Main streets, was charged with assaulting James Griswold of 47S East Main street. The trouble was over a watermelon. Griswold and his wife testified Santora want ed them to pay 35 cents for one-half melon and because they would not pay it the dealer punched Griswold threw him down and jumped on him.
 The story told by Santora and his daughter was that the Griswolds first asked for whole melon and wanted it cut. When this was done they said they would take only half of it. Then they said it was not good or that it had been tapped, and anyway they would not take it. Then followed some words and Gris- wold throttled the Italian. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed on San. tora. An appeal was taken.
 Thomas Smith was charged on three counts with theft of coat val ued at ST from Joseph Brooks, two pairs of shoes of the value of s4.25 from Thomas Smith, and one, pair of shoes valued at s1.5O from Charles Free, storekeepers on Bank street. The theft was said to have been com mitted yesterday. An eye witness gave the testimony and on each count Smith was fined s7 and costs and committed to jail for thirty days. He has a long record for theft.
 A case against Mrs Lena Mara for making racket in a barber shop on Baldwin street was continued to Monday.
 Charles Kurtz, an employe of the Waterbury Brass Co, earning $19.50 a week, was charged with failing to support his wife and five minor cbil- ,dren. There are seven children in all. Mrs Kurtz and her children live at 103 High street. in house deed- ed to her by her husband. She said the trouble was incompatibility of temper. She could never get along with her husband, she said, for the past twelve years. She left him half dozen times. Last January he was ordered or agreed to pay her $S a week for six months. Two months ago a child was born to her and since June 1 her husband has not given her either money or food. She does not care to live with him any longer
 Kurtz said the trouble was room- CTS. She preferred roomers to him. She did not exactly say she would not live with him again, but when he went back the last time she would not prepare room for him and she behaved as though he were not on earth at all The old order to pay SS a week for six months or suffer sixty days in jail was issued, and an appeal was taken on the grounds that hus- band is not obliged to support his wife if she refuses to live with him.

 Goods direct from the factory show their superiority to the goods sent to the wholesalers in Boston or New York and then sent to the dealers in New England. New York. Pennsylvan- ia or New Jersey. The factory has no direct dealings with the dealer and does not need to be so particular in making. The wholesaler must take his profit. pays a smaller price and gets a poorer one.

WELL, BY GOSH !!

That's the remark an old gentle man made in our store on circus day last week. It seems he hadn't been in Waterbury since circus day last year and on that day he purchased some tea and coffee at our store, and ''by gosh" he never had such nice tasting tea and coffee in ms domicile before or since that time, and, ''by gosh," he had sent his neighbors to us to buy some more good tea and coffee, but, ''by gosh, when they came to town they never could or else they never tried very hard to find us. But, 'by gosh, the old gentleman made sure to get our right number and also the name or the street and, ''by gosh, he made sure to take our name and we gave him one of our neat little fans with our address on it and, "by gosh, ne was tickled to a high degree to think ''by gosh he's going to have nice tasting tea and coffee at his home from now on.
