HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
OF Course Young Mother Gould Only
Reason That the Fault Must Be
With the Scales.

The story is told of a young mother
who, after her first baby had been
born, hurried to a hardware store to
purchase a pair of scales. that she
might be able to keep tab on the re-
markable growth of her first born.
When she got the scales home and
weighed the baby for the first time the
little bunch of humanity did not quite
measure up to her expectations and
she promptly carried them back,
stating that they were not satisfac-
tory. Asked by the storekeeper what
the difficulty was, she replied:
Il think the scales are not right. My
baby did not weigh as much as think
she ought to-"
did it ever occur to you" asked the
hard-hearted seller of hardware, that
the fault might be with the baby and
not the scales?"
She saw the point and kept the
scales.-Brockton Enterprise.

Montana Jury Given Hint.

more right to refuse to indict a man
whom 1t is convinced has committed
an offense against the law than it's
members have to cheat customers in

believed has given insufficient thought
to certain land fraud cases.

THE DEMOCRATIC
 MEETING LAST NIGHT

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Democracy of Bridgeport was held at Franklin Hall. last evening. The call for the meting announced. that Hon. w. W. Eaton and Hon. AIvan P. Hyde would address the Democracy, but both men failed to respond, the former because suddenly taken sick, the latter owing to pressing business engagements. One of the town com nittee went to New Haven and pre- vailed upon James Gallagher Esq, chairman of the State Central Com nnittee, to come over and address the Democracy of Bridgeport
 The meeting was called to order at g. o'clock with E. B. GoodselI in the chair. After a few remarks by the chair, MT. Gallagher was introduced to the audience, and delivered one of the capital, witty, sand energetic addresses, characteristic of the man. His speech was frequently interrupted with outbursts of applause, and was replete with logical, bold, and con- vincing arguments.
 After music by the band there were loud calls for Bishop who came for ward and excused himself from mak- ing a speech. promising to address the Democracy at length on Saturday evening. After the meeting of the committee refreshments were served in a capital manner by our old friend Fritz. He served them as only Fritz can serve and everybody went home satisfied.

EMERGENCY FORGE REDUCED
 At the annual meeting of the board of Charities last evening, four of the attaches of the Emergency were drop ped, reducing the annual payroll $2,516. No one expected that the board would dispense with Pharnna- cist Joseph D. Hartigan. In spite of the fact Supt. Bunnen was reelected it was the private opinion of more than one member that he would not accept reappotntment, but he did, and that to a greatly reduced salary. Had it not been for MT. McElroy, who favored the acceptance of MT. Bun nen's resignation, the latter's salary would have been cut down to $1,2o0 instead of $1,30O. One of the commis- sioners wanted to cut the salary down to $1,oO0.
 IN RE MIR. HARTIGAN
 In dropping Pharmacist Hartigan the board made a great mistake in the opinion of many He was on duty from 8 a..m. to g p. m., and a more efficient employee would be difficult to find. Besides attending to the drug department he answered all arnbu- lance calls personally and his exper- ieHce with drugs made his services es- pecia1ly valuable. Formerly when MT. Hartigan was out on ambulance calls, MT. Brennan, who is also a licensed
 
 side. Now when the ambulance is out on a cali there will be no one to attend to transient calls. Should a sec ond ambulance call come in during the night there will be no one to give it attention. The institution will be practically abandoned during such times in the night as the ambulance is in service, and should any person be hit with a trolley car or an acci- dent of any kind happen they would not be able to get any treatment at the Emergency. for the doors will be locked until such time as the anbu- lance returns. Orderly Sullivan who slept in the building and received s520 8 year was also dropped. The staff of city physicians was reduced to five, Drs. Gordon and Gilroy being dropped and Dr. Osborne chosen. The pres ent force at the a1mshouse under Supt. Logan was reappofnted.
 The salaries of the officials of the Emergency are: Superintendent, $1,- 300: Clerk Colt. $500; Pharmacist Brennan. $1 ,OoO; Ambulance Driver Jack, $620i Emergency Doctor Os- borne, $42O; four city physicians, $500 each. The changes will go into ef- feet on April l.
