Selby Leaves His Family Destitute in
 Winsted.

Winsted, Sept 30.--With only a few small potatoes and a green squash that the children had picked up to eat and without clothing or furniture, the wife and children of Charles J. Selby, until recently an employe of the Goodwin & Kintz Co, were found yesterday by Humane Agent John F. Simmons almost starv- starved and in a pitiful condition. MT Simmons learned that Selby, who was hard drinker and only partially pro- vided for his family even when work ing steadily, left Winsted very un- ceremoniously week ago last Friday leaving his family without funds or provisions. Conditions had steadily grown worse until neighbors finally called MT Simmons's attention to the case. Besides her own children, all boys ranging in age from months to 8 years, Mrs Selby has her 1S- months-old daughter of sister of her husband who is afflicted with spinal trouble and is absolutely helpless. MT Simmons immediately placed the case before. the selectmen and was author ized to provide for the family pending an investigation. MT and Mrs Selby were married in Waterbury eight years ago and came to Winsted about a year and half ago from that city.

Silently Mixed.

They had just set up housekeeping and were working on the plan of econ omy. The bathtub needed a coat of varnish. He promised to attend to 1t if she would order the varnish.
 You'll find the varnish in the closet with the groceries, dear," she said a day or so later, land the can opener in the knife drawer"
 He opened the can and, according to his contract, applied the coat of varnish and then left 1t to dry.
 The soup for dinner that day had to be abandoned, for somehow it pos sessed peculiar paint shop odor that was nauseating. After dinner he took her to inspect his work on the bath tab. Now that 1t had dried it had a certain unnatural appearance. The top and sides were streaked, and here and there little Jumps clung to it.
 "The man said that was the best varnish," she explained, taking up the can of varnish for an examination, ''but-why, dear, you have vanished the bathtub with the OK tail soupv

A Model Hotel "Roots..

It was in Dublin hotel. and as I closed the bedroom door, says a writer in the Manchester Guardian, noticed that the end of one of my boot laces was inside the room, the boot to which it was attached having been placed as usual outside. When I awoke next morning the boot lace end was still there, and opened the door expecting to find that the boots had not been cleaned. but I was wrong. A very careful hotel servant, a very model among "boots," had found the lace tightly gripped by the door and rather than disturb me had carefully removed 1t from the lace holes and carried away the boot Presently I heard a quiet noise outside the door. The model boots had brought my boots back again and was industriously re- lacing that ons which he had unlaced
