"A CHALLENGE TO
 BRIDGEPORTERS
One of the Greatest nOn the Level" Clothing Sales Started Today at
 Foster Besse Go.

The people of Bridgeport are given a challenge in today's paper by one of the leading clothing houses of the city, and it remains to be seen if they will accept it and buy clothing at a reduction that is certainly out of the ordinary. The firm offering the chaI- lenge is the Foster-Besse Go, whose store in Bridgeport is one of 27 main tained by this firm and also one of the oldest clothing stores in the city. The people in Bridgeport are asked to bring 8. copy of this paper with them to the store as all of the garments now at the store are at the old prices. the ad- yertisement containing the new ones. There are only 10 days in which one will have an opportunity to take ad- vantage of this sale, it starting Thurs day, April 28. and ending Saturday, May '. In the advertisement the peo- pie of the city are reminded that the store of F,oster-Besse is alive and the question is asked if you are alive to a good bargain when you see one. Not price tag will be changed in the store during the next 10 days but every suit will be sold not at the fig ure that it is stated in the advertise ment, and it is anticipated that very large business will be done owing to the material reduction that is to be made. Don't forget to save the paper this evening and be ready for the open ing of the sale.

IT, The Loafer

isn't going to be so very particular
and finicky about what he does or get
his little feelings so easily wounded.
and go off in a tantrum so often, as
does the boy who knows that when he
throws up his place he has got good
home and three square meals day to
which to go back
1t is the weak, tender, over-lovIng
mothers, who have not the nerve TO
tell their boys that If they will not
work neither shall they eat; who are
really responsible for the drunken
loafers, and the best thing that any
woman can do who has one of these
parasitic sons is to shut the door in his
face and tell him that he has got TO
get out and hustle for himself It's the
only possible way of making man OF
him. The longer she supports him the
lower he will sink and the flabbier he
will become in character, and the less
chance there will be to brace him up
Very likely such a boy will try to
revenge himself upon his family by
going far away and giving them all the
anxiety he can, but it is a case when
they should stand aside and let him
work out his own destiny Nothing but
the hard knocks Of life will ever bring
out the good that is in him.
rock bottom truth, it is the parents
fault when an able-bodied youth is
willing to sit down and let his old faith
er and sisters support him. You should
not begin when a boy is 20 TO try to
impress on his mind the right ideal Of
manhood You should begin when he
is one hour old
No boy who has it drilled into him
from the very minute that he can un-
derstand anything that the most
shameful thing in the world is for
man to be a weakling, not to be able to
support himself but a dependent who
lives on others; who is taught the dig
nifty and the beauty CT labor, who IS
schOoled in doing every task that
comes to his hand properly, and who
has il impressed on his youthful mind
that he must do his share in the world
and bear his part of the load of re-
sponsibility. ever turns out a loafer, or
an idle, Shiftless. ne'er-do-weu-
Hard on the Boy.
Such a boy by the time he is grown
considers idleness a disgrace He has an
immeasurable contempt for the man
who cannot stand on his own feet. He
would starve before he would live on
the work of women, and he has formed
the habit of industry which makes Ia
Dor a pleasure instead of a hardship.
He is justly proud of himself and of
his independence and ability to get on,
and he is the nainstay and the crown
and glory Of his family
Strictly speaking, it is nothing but
justice that parents should have to sup
port the boy they have reared up to be
nothing but a parasite and a loafer,
but it is hard on the boy. They have
done him the greatest injury that one
human being can do another, but the
only way they can atone fer it, even in
part, is TO force him, before ii is too
late, to depend on himself.
It is a desperate chance, but it's the
boys only one.

TN a certain family of my acQuaint-
L anee there is a great big, husky
- lad of 90 W@O refuses to work. The
family is very Straitened circum
stances The poor old father tolls early
and late The mother cooks, and cleans
and scrubs, and sews from dawn until
far in the night. The girls clerk, and
typewrite, and keep books, and between
them all they manage to keep a COM
Portable home together.
But the boy, the strongest and ablest
to work of them all, does nothing. He
is a gay and idle parasite, living upon
his parents and sisters.
He has plenty of ability, and now
ard then when he wants some extra
money for some particular Indulgence,
he will find a situation and stay at it
a few weeks, but, no job has enough
attractions to hold him long. 1t inter-
feres with his amuSementS too much
to have to keep regular hours, and so
it is not long before he decides that
the particular kind OF work that he is
doing is distasteful to him, or that his
boss is tyrannical, or that his precious
health is being injured, and SO he comes
cheerfully back home some night, and
with a relieved expression announces
to his family that he has given up his
place.
The father and the sisters who labor
so hard to pay the running expenses of
the household are getting weary of
taking care of this hulking youth, and
feel that he should be made to work
and support himself, but when any
suggestion of pushing him out of the
home nest is made his mother will
not hear of it.
As long as / have crust of bread
and roof to shelter me-, she cries, Il
will share it with Johnnie. and you are
cruel and heartleSs to even talk of
such a thing as putting him out of the
house and telling him that he has got
to shift for himself, and work or
starve Why it would drive the poor
darling to drink, or to becoming moth
ing but a tramp"
So his mother buys Johnnie new
clothes when he needs them, and slips
him money for his cigarets, and fosters
his laziness, and aids and abets him IN
degenerating into a loafer-
No one will deny that the problem Of
how to deal with the no-account, and
the trifling is a difficult one, but there
Is one thing sure, and that is, that it rs
a desperate case that needs drastic
remedies No good can possibly come
of encouraging a boy to live on other
people and deadbeat his way through
life. whereas, there is always at least
a chance that if you force him to de-

there is in him, and make something

will harvest over so bushels TO the
acre as he intends to drill his wheat
in and will do more shallow cultiva-

also found that the frequent shallow
cultivation of the land occupied by

the crop of fruit but also aids towards
q healthier and more rapid growth Of
