A QUESTION OF CLOTHES

Few women realize the amount ot grief there is connected with the manufacture of the garments they wear, especially the ready-made suits and dresses which are made in New York and are sold by thousands all over the country ,
 Even the manufacturer life is not a happy one. Every garment is made by piecework. In each shop there is one boss operator-a work man like the rest-whose duty it is to examine each new style of gar ment and fix the price that shall be paid the workmen for making it.
 The boss operator, the workmen, and the manufacturer are always at war. Hardly day passes that the boss operator and his employer do not seem on the verge of coming to blows. If the former does not make the latter pay all that is possible he is likely to be deposed by his fel- lows and another elected in his place.
 The result Is that with the bring ing forth of each new pattern there 1t at least an hour of furious hag- ging before the price for making 1t is fixed. Even then the price does not remain stationary. Just as soon as the boss operator notices that there is big demand for a certain style of suit and guesses that there are orders ahead for hundreds of thousands of them, he will increase the price on the manufacturer.
 One manufacturer down Broadway who has something like 2,000 ma chimes in his workroom, watches this very closely. Just the moment he sees signs of the boss operator get ting ready for a fresh demand for an increase on popular style, he will stop making that pattern for a few days, and switch the force to some other pattern for which there is apparently less call, and on which the price has therefore been reduced Later he will put his people back on the big seller again, and so keep abreast of his orders.
 mere nave been cases where the boss operator got the manufacturer figuratively by the throat. and boost ed the price of making suit from $2 to s4, just because he knew of the big demand for it and that che orders must be rushed
 Of course the time comes occasiorf ally when the manufacturer dis charges all his force, even in the busy season, because their demands become unbearable. This means but a small delay, however, for one by one the workmen come back un- til nearly all the machines are full and there is a new boss operator Then the battle has to be fought all over again.
 But the boss operator seems to be a pretty honest sort of fellow. He gets but little more wages than the rest of them, and apparently does not graft to any extent. if at all. He Is chosen by his companions not for his superior skill as a workman but because he is better talker than the rest of them.

Banker Clews Is happy over the result of the election. He does not believe however that prosperity win come to Us over night, although some of our Waterbury friends are trying to make Us believe just that. The banker says: The election is over. The country has most emphat- ically declared that 1t wants peace; that it desires nothing so much as rest from threatened radicalism, it needs free chance to recover from the inertia begotten of last years panic. Of course, the result of the election had been to a consd- erable extent discounted in the stock market, hence there has been no such speculative rebound since, as some very hopeful but inexperienced observers anticipated. This, how ever, should cause no disappoint- ment: for the defeat of radicalism has been so complete, and the de- mand for sane, sober and honest gov ernment so emphatic. that far-reach- ing results to all business interests must follow. These will not be seen at a glance and will come in over- night Weeks and months will he requisite to bring out the fall bene- fcent results of the political tidal wave, which swept the country on November 3, and left lively realiza- tion of the dangers escaped.

and England with respect and admir- ation, It has been claimed, says one writer, that the tales and poems of Poe were the first to introduce the merits of American literature to the readers of Europe. He at least orig mated school of writing which foreigners honored by initiating. The names of Emerson, Hawthorne and Poe are often associated as those of three men who stand apart from their fellows as writers of unques- tionaPle genius. Not few award the palm among these three to Poe, As master of subtle and imagina- tive verse he has been placed in the highest niche among Americans. His influence was long recognized here and abroad, and that part of him which Is immortal-his work-is certain to receive homage worthy of 1t on two continents on the hun dredth anniversary of his birth.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER z, 1908.

All roads for republican place seekers leadd to Waterbury just at present. Those who have not filed their applications for places should do so at once. as the governor-elect is going to be busy selecting the best timber. While there is good list of places, there are always more than enough applicants. It is pre- sumed that the Hartford Courant is happy, now that the good republi- cans are not to be hunted from the places they have held so long.

Decadent taste in reading is not
 confined to any country it seems says an exchange. Complaints are common here that the people read too much trash, and recently some
 educators in England have taken up
 the subject with view to improving
 the stock on the public library
 shelves. Now from Germany comes
 a report of a new plan to foster in
 people who have the reading habit
 a taste for good literature. The
 German idea is to deliver to the
 home of every applicant at a nomi-
 nal cost for use for one week
 thrilling novel, certain to be read and appreciated. This is the bait. If a second book is ordered one of higher class than the first will be sent, and the third, if called for, will be still better, and so On until the reader has desire for none but the best literature. We think sometimes that We have that stage of educa- tion to deal with here and that the dime novel and the shilling shock CT" create a reading appetite which will not be wholly satisfied until 1t feeds upon something substantial If reading is only phase of the eter- nal search for new sensations 1t Is | possible that the uplift can be ap- piled to literature by the German | plan with good results.

The year 1909 was fruitful in giv- ing birth to genius. Darwin. Clad stone and Tennyson are among the distinguished Englishmen born that year, while at the head of the Amer jeans there looms Abraham Lincoln as the greatest figure of his time. Lincoln was born in February, as we are now annually reminded. Three weeks earlier Edgar Allen Poe first saw the light in Boston, Richmond, Va. was Poe's adopted home for a time. He died in Baltimore and there lies buried. Poe's centenary will be honored here at home by his many admirers and also in France

LAKE WEIR UNION w. c. T. u.

AT the suggestion of the Union the
South Lake Weir Union Sunday
school united with the Weirsdale
school last Sunday in the observance
of Temperance Sunday. After a
short session of the schools during
which the regular lesson of the Inter-
national Series on Temperance was
considered, an interesting program
was carried out instead of the regular
service. 1t was conducted by the
pastor, Rev. E. G.. Mckinley, who
gave an address full of good sug-
gestions and facts. Mrs. J. F. Sig
mon. superintendent of the Sunday
school department of the w. c. T. u,
gave an address, and was followed by
Miss Margaret Shook, Miss Simpson
and Enrol Reed, with recitations. Rev.
Lawrence Jones also gave a stirring
address characterized by his usual
vim and vigor. Pledge cards were
passed around and numerous sigma
lures secured. A large amount Of
temperance literature was distributed
A very gratifying sum was collected
to be used in the furtherance of the
temperance cause. Beautiful flowers
and the banner won by the Lake
Weir Union at the recent state con-
vention in Ocala,, helped to adorn the
church and give pleasure to the large
audience present Appropriate songs,
mostly from the W. c.. T. u. collec-
ton were sung, the music being I'M

FAIRFIELD's THANKSGIVING

The young people of Fairfield had
a most magnificent Thanksgiving in
the way of baked turkey and other
edibles. The night after Thanksgiv-
ing they were all invited 70 a banquet
at Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. SCOTS. Among
those invited We're Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
Tate. Misses Bessie Carter. Edna Ga
trell. Della Smith. Alice Tongue, and
Messrs. y. Simpson. Whorton Yon-
que, A. J. Mclaughlin and Professor
B. B. Johnson. The supper was very

all crowded into a big wagon and
drove out to the Stuart place. which
is now being prepared for a big
watermelon crop by Messrs. Carter.
Mclaughlin & Tongue. The young
people reached their destination about
II o'clock, and the young men of the
ranch, Messrs. Whorton, Tongue and
A. ]. Mclaughlin invited them to par
take of a most bounteous feast, pre-
pared in advance for them. After
their appetites were Well satisfied
they started for their hunt, and great
was the fun wading through sand
spurs and climbing rail fences. Mes
srs. Mclaughlin and Tongue killed
quite a number of birds, Professor
Johnson killed one quail, while Mt.
w. Simpson distinguished himself by
killing a woodpecker by mistake for a
robin. When the day ended, they
started on their return to Fairfield by
moonlight. During their trip home
Professor Johnson amused the crowd
with a box shell turtle which he had
in a bag. All of the girls declared it
wouldn't bite, while the professor de-
clared it would and invited them to
put their hands in the bag to prove
the statement. The girls. one after
another put their hands in, then sud-
denly turned red in the face and tried
to withdraw their hands. Ask the
professor what was the matter. At
ter they reached home they all con-
gregated at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
birds killed on the hunt. While the
stew was crooking some amused
themselves with a game of whist,
while the others danced. Thus they
whiled away the evening unit o
late hour. When leaving they all ex-
pressed themselves as having a very
thankful Thanksgiving of several
days instead of one.
