Some Stray Leaves From a Reporter's
. Note BooK.
The janitor employed in, a certain
school, not in "Waterbury. however, re
"signed his position the other day after
having held the job for only a little
over a week. "I guess I'm too sensi
tive," he explained to a friend who
asked him why he had quit. "You
eee, whenever I found anything that
bad been lost I always hung it up on
the blackboard, where the owner covud
see it and claim it. The other morn
ing X went into one of the rooms early
to clean tip, and there on the black
board was -written: 'Find the multi
plicand.' I looked all over, but I
couldn't find anything. The next
morning I -went into the same room
and on the blackboard was written:
'Find the least common devisor.' Tuen
I says to myself If them things is
lost and didn't turn .up. the first thing
I know they'll accuse me of swipin'
them.' So I threw up the job. I
guess I'm too sensitive."
Linn Luce, the founder of the Press
Clipping Bureau and probnbly the
most expert reader of newspapers in
the world, died in New York recently
at the age of 88 years. When Mr
Luce began the business of furnishing
press clippings the Industry was in its
earliest stages, and its scope was lim
ited to the ornamental side like
that of furnishing social and literary
people with press comments upon
themselves. The Luce idea was com
mercial, the "ornamental never being
cared for. That the Idea was sub
stantial and meritorious is shown by,
the fact that the Luce Bureau now
' , employs a hundred people, who read
more than four thousand different
publications. To build up such a bus
iness Indicates that Mr Luce posses
Bed ' untiring energy. And to , this
fact, and that all of it was bent tow
ard the perfection of the business he
had Inaugurated, is undoubtedly due
the brevity of his life.
mm ,
, The average man possesses a certain
amount of courage. He may not' be
ine of those bold, courageous f ellows
Ing acts, but nevertheless - he ha s in
; his make-tip the proper material which
he "uses when opportuity presents it
self. He holds it In reserve 4nd dis
plays it when the proper time comes.
But there a few men who lack even a
part of this courage. The As Yon Like
It man heard of a case which occurred
yesterday In which two m'eti "proved
themselves anything but" brave.n Two'
little boys had fallen in the Naugatuck
river. Their bodies were' floating
down the river. At a distance the
father of one of the children was run
ning with all speed to safe them. He
shouted for aid. Two men stood on
the river bank not far away from the
floating bodies, heard the agon'zing
cries of the father, but did not move,
'did not try to, save the children. Even
"one of them la said to hare refused to
take one of tbe bovs from the arm of
ttie exhausted father as he brought the
boys safely to- the shore.
' 1 The musical critic of a well known
paper being away on a certain oc
, casion, the editor was called on to fill
his shoes at a big musical, the event
of the season. This is the way the
boss . quill-driver ; handled the , affair:
"As the editor of this paper," he
wrote, "doesn't know aTaemise(mii
'quaver frond a diapasori,'"'or"J ''ba'sS
clef, from a bone tumour, he will not
be expected to give ah extended .no-
tlce of this production. We can say
j however, that the, type used in print--j
Jng the song was clear and plain, and
) the paper seems to be. the best quality
or rag. xne design on tne rront page
la artistic, and the words are as ten
der as a veal steak and as poetic as
a song .of a meadow lark on a May
morning. The melody Is sound, and
Jar .."marks. The harmony appears to
. v be. In a healthy condition; with no
patent defects or noticeable blemishes.
The tonality, according to our office
boy, who knows all about It, is clear
- and resonant, , and rests, so he says,
on harmonic relations and melodic
elements. We will sing the song to
any subscriber who will pay his sub
scriptions three years in advance,
. throwing into it all the tendejrpathos
nd unctuous emotion of our cabbage
flavoured soul." - , : ;

NEW TOWN STORE.
Will Soon be Ready and Cost to Fit it
Out But Slight.
The board of charities Is making
considerable headway with the work
of getting a room in the basement of
the city hall building in shape so mat
it will serve the purpose of-the preseut
town store which costs $180 a year for
rent and is in a rather out of the -way
place at that. The new quarters will
soon be ready for use and will be a
big improvement on the old one.' The
cost of fitting it up will not ampunt to
much. Most of the stock was picked
up among the debris about the city
hall and the rest of it was fished, out
of old, but valuable pieces at the city
yard on Benedict street. ' One part of
the new furnishing looks quite . fa
miliar and no doubt many will recog
nizee it. It is the wire screens so long

of flies during the summer months, but
tills obstacle was removed to-day by
expert opinion from a man called in
for that purpose who assured the com
mittee that darkness is the only thing
he knows of which will . Insure com
plete immunity from flies ; and sug
gested that with the lights out and
the only aperture closed the flies
would give the place a wide birth.
There are half a dozen or more spa
cious chambers under the building
which, at a small outlay can be con
verted inso splendid storerooms or
oifices and it is probable that the de
partment of public works may de
cide to do something with them. One
of the rooms Is marked put as ideal
headquarters for the milk inspector
and the powers that be have their eye
upon the largest one of all as a very
suitable place for a first-class ton sorial
room with an entrance at the west
side of the building. It is believed that
a? goo&fbarber shop with bath rootix
accommodation would pay in the base
ment of the hall and some of the of
ficials claim they see $1,000 in it for
the city.
