having a marked effect in increasing Hie number of.applieatioiis for relief. “ X am a weaver out of work, and can’t get work anywliere," was sub- Btantially the story told by more Hiaii one appli­ c an t before llio Guardians on blonduy last. Generally, it is the aged wliose eyes are failing, or wliose Hiigcis arc not so nimble as tltoy nsed . to be, wlio liave to tell this story. One of Hie mill operatives appl)'ing fo r ‘relief otiAIonday, for instance, was G5 years of age. “ I may got work any day,” said he. Were i t not for hope liow could wo poor mortals bear tlie ills and burdens of life. Needless to say, tlie Guardians clicerfully gnintcd liis nioilcst request for an allowance of sixpence a day for a fortniglit.


. I t is but eeldom tliat Hie Guardians can sliow a sympatlietic side, for i t is not their business to encourage people to sock relief. On tlio contrary, i t very mucli oftenor falls to their lot to preeent a stern and forbidding front. I leic is a com­ paratively young and able-bodied mail asking tlic Guardians to support liiiii and liis wife and five children. IIo lias already reeeived a fort­ night’s relict in return for task work. IVitii respect to tlio latter, however, be lias to lio cautioned about coming late, and one of the country Guardians openly .expresses the opinion t l ia t lie likes work best a long way off." Appli­ cant is told Hiat only anoHior fortnigiit’s out- relief will bo granted to iiim, and if lie does not get work by Hie end of Hint time, ilmt presents liimself again, tlio only relief ho will got will be


an order for tho “ liouso." Our friend is equal to tlio occasion. “ Y'ou can tek wife and cliildor,” says lie, “ and I ’ll look after m’sell.” The Guardians arc, however, for Iiaving all, or none a t all, so bo is promptly told tliat if ins wife and ciiildrcn are admitted he will have to come with Hicm. I t is a great pity that siicli a man sliould Iiave ever undertaken Hie responsi bility of supporting a wife, and of bringing


cliildroii into Hio world. The Guardians are sometimes calleil upon to


future meeting, and several oHicr members ex­ ^ ,i ii\ I* *n answers would Hieu come


well as Hiemselves. Tlie iiiiiendmeiit was put to Hie meeting, xvld.


Garnett and Coiineillors Coivnian, .Iordan, Garnett, Sli-iw I.-incaster and Tillotsoii voted m its favour. ' i'lie iiiotiim was Hum put, and Hio n.mmniing eiglit voting in its favour it was declareil carried,

Not a bad idea oitlicr. Tho poor-law representatives often spend tlioir lime to Ic.ss prolit. IVIion tlieso domestio troubles take a cliroiiic form tlicy find tlicir way into the police courts eitlicr ns summonses for assault, or for neglect of family, and if tlio Guardians can, by acting ns go-betweens before tlioy reacli sucli a stage, cheek tlioir further advaiiee, they will have well earned tlio blessing promised to tlio peneeniakers. One of tlio applicants on Jlonday was a young married woman with one cliild. Being told to suite to tlie Guanlinns wliat .stic wii»ted, she replied "Relie f.” “Wliatlias taiised you to ask for re l ie f? ” was tlie next question. " Hunger ami starvation ” was tlio forcible answer, but i t must bo coiifossod lliat Hie appli­ cant bore litHe or no tnvccs of liavitig suffered from eillier hunger or wliat slio called “ sUirva lion." Furtlicr enquiries elicited that silo had complaints to lodge against licr liusiiand. He lind been spending ills iiionoy a t the piiblie- houso and leaving her ivitlunit tixsl.

Tlicrc are so many young ones af ter it th a t an old man stands no cliance.” The Guardians had to toll li'mi that as bo did not belong to Hie Union bo could not remain in tlio Clitlicroc Workhouse, and Hiey advised liini to seek a sottlemcut a t Skipton “ Well, then, you must remove me,” lie said. The Clerk foresaw tlio dinicuUy, and advised Hio

TIic moral of tlie incident seems to bo : If we live in the Clitlicroe Union let iis rest and bo tlinnkful, for there arc evidently worse jilncos than the palatial slnioturo in Cliatburn-roail in wliicli to si>cnd one’s declining years.
