your being different does to

Nerve Shown In Asking FavOrs
Is your nerve in asking ia
vors measured only by what
you can get out of the other
fellow?
If the one of whom you ask a
favor does not turn you down,
you think you are justified in
anything he will stand for-is
that it?
It does not matter to you
that the article for which you
ask is expensive and should
not be given out without ade-
quate returns on it.
It does not seem to matter
that the other fellow, when
he gives it, expects to get some
thing commensurate from the
article he lets you have.

Little Dandy

One day he said to Ian Eu-
ropean friend: "I want to meet
Miss Anna Gould. I will give a
dinner at Delmonico's, and I
want you to bring her to my
dinner" =,
"But you have no money"
said his friend. "How can you
give a dinner at one of the most
expensive restaurants in New
York;"
"Ah," said Count Boni, leave
that to me-"
He went to Delmonico's and
with discreet hints Of a rich
marriage to be made in the near
future, persuaded them to give
him credit for the dinner. Miss
Gould appeared.
And presently, in the old
Gould mansion at Fifth Avenue
and Sixty-seventh Street, he was
united in marriage to shy, plain
faced Anna Gould, who was
quite willing to exchange her
millions for the title of countess.
Shortly thereafter they sailed
away for France, with a mar.
riage settlement Of $3,000,000 in
Count Boni's pocket, and COM
mand, as we'll, over the fortune
Of $18,O00,000 that belonged to
his bride.
From then on the money be-
gan to fly. Boni became the
prince Of spenders, the arbiter
Of Paris fashion. He built a pal
ace of pink marble and spent
100000 on the entertainments
which opened it's doors to Paris
society. He raced a stable Of
thoroughbreds and sailed his
yachts in the Mediterranean.

AS chairman of the National
Labor Board, Senator Wagner,
of New York, appears to be the
right man in the right place.
Under Mr.. Wagner's chair
manShip, the board has al
ready to its credit important
victories in the field Of concili-
alton, adjustment and arbitra-
ton.
A recent example of the
promptness with which the
board acts, the fairness with
which it rules, and the influ-
ence which its counsel carries
is to be found in the dispute
between the air transport oper-
ators and the air transport
pilots over hours and wages.

Judge Earnest c.

The plain tiffs are the holders of a second mortgage on the defenadnt's Fair- field avenue property.
 After evidence was presented showing the defendant had paid his interest on the second mort. gage due May 19, 1888. and that the only taxes due were those of this year, Judge Simpson agreed with the defendants counsel, Attor. ney Michael V. Blansfield that there should be no receiver appointed because 1t would only add extra ex- pense upon the defendant who Is trying to do the best he can.
 Attorney John Membrino, ap- bearing for the plaintiffs, stated he deemed 1t advisable that the court shoulud appoint receiver in order to insure payment of the taxes and interest to the first mort gagee. He said tho second mort

Unique Procedure
 In Local Courts Ends Suddenly
Judge Simpson Upholds Motion of Defense Attorney and Ends Case To.day-Clerk Gillette Had Been Ordered to Show Cause Why He Refused to Enter Money Judgment in Foreclosure Action

Main streets. Law day was fixed for Sept. 18th. The judgment was entered in March.
 The mundamus alse contained the information that Halpern de. sired money judgment rather than foreclosure and that Clerk Gillette was requested to make such an order.
 The mandamus stated that Clerk Gillette refused to execute a mon- ey judgment.
 Attorney Monzanl then filed a motion to have the mandamus pro- ceedings quashed and the hearing was held this morning.
 Attorney Monzani argued that the entire proceedings were based on the non-payment of note. He pointed out that the plaintiff had the choice of selecting his own manner in recovering judgment, either by foreclosure or by suing on the note. He chose the fore closure, Attorney Monzani said, therefore was not entitled to any further judgment.
 Attorney Blansfield said the amount of money sought in the judgment was approximately $500 which was not half as much as the foreclosure judgment and that the plaintiff would be willing to call the debt settled with the payment of the money. He added that the defendant would be entitled to have possession of the property.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-05-31

The mandamus proceedings brought against Clerk William M. Gillette of the common pleas court in an unique court procedure were quashed today by Judge Er- nest c. Simpson following a hearing before him in superior court. Att torney John T. Monzani brought the motion to quash the writ of mandamus issued against Clerk Gillette last week and his argu- ments were sustained by Judge Simpson.
 The unusual proceedings, the first to come into the local courts in years, were started last week by Attorney Michael V. Blansfield, counsel for Louis Halpern of this city. Attorney Blansfield secured the writ of mandamus by petition ing States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis who in turn presented the information before Judge John Richards Booth who signed 1t.
 The mandamus writ ordered Clerk Gillette to show cause why he should not enter a money judg- ment in favor of Halpern in his foreclosure proceedings against one Domenick Scopino of Ply mouth.
 In the mandamus writ 1t was stated that Halpern secured Q fore closure judgment in the amount of s1,131.66 against Scopino, involving property at Piedmont and south

Washington. May 31 - (UP) - The speedy journey through con. gress of the administrators bill voiding past and present promises to pay in gold has been marked by republican opposition which, while futile thus far. has provided inter. esting moments.
 Representative Carl Mapes of Michigan, for instance, started Il controversy when he observed that the resolution was drawn up so hurriedly that It's title contained a grammatical error.
 The grammarians immediately looked up the title and this is what
 "A joint resolution to assure uni- form value to the coins and cur rcncies of the United States"
 That appeared all right at first glance, although some maintained that "currencies" should be sing tilar or that "value" should ne made plural.
 Unable to reach an agreement on that. the puzzled grammarian,s went on to the first whereas which read:
 "Whereas, the holding of or deal ing in gold affects the public in- terest and are therefore subject to proper regulation and restrictions"
 There was further argument over whether holding of or deal ing in" required singular or plural verb.
 When the house was debating the resolution before it's passage Monday, Representative Luce of ranking republican on the banking and currency com mittee, made a speech in which he said that in the interests of "sav- ing the honor of the United States" he was offering motion to strike out the retroactive provisions or the measure.
 1T send my motion to the clerk" Luce, dignified and grave, con cluded.
 'The clerk will report the mo. tion," said the chair. :.
 "Where is it?" the clerk wanted to know.
 It developed that Luce, instead of sending his motion to the clerk, had entrusted it to the official re- porter who had taken it out of the chamber.
 The chair ruled that the business of the house could be suspended for few minutes while a messen- ger hurried after the reporter. So the house waited while the motion |"saving the honor of the United States" was retrieved. The mo- ton was defeated overwhelmingly.

Postal receipts in the Waterbury post office for the month of April amounted to $35,27s.51 or a gain of 6.sS per cent over the total for April of last year.
 Receipts in New Haven for April as compared with the same month in 1892 fell 2.47 per cent, the total receipts last month amounting to $124,77633 or about $3,200 less than they were in the same month last year.
 Hartfords receipts last month were s1S3,105.51 or a gain of 3.60 per cent over the figure of year ago. However, the Hartford post office is now covering 8 larger ter ritory than before, which explains the increase.
