 There was a good dash of rain last night and the drenching had good effect upon vegetation and crops prof ited so much by it that people scarcely knew their own gardens this morning. Things walked right up and looked
 their owners squarely in the face as
 much as to say, "here we are.o A
 man who has a few beds of asparagus said to-day that it is the most profit able seed one could put into the ground. Once it gets started it grows so fast that although you cut it close to the clay at night it will be a couple | of feet tai in the morning. It is 8 | popular vegetable and small bed of it
 will supply family with as much of It as they care about the year around. The sale of plants and seeds never was never better in Waterbury than during the present season, all of which
 goes to prove the statement that folks are making an effort to realize some
 thing out of their patches of ground.
 A man with pair of brand new snoes on his arm went into the Brass l Clty shoe store ill the Auditorium lbuilding on South Main street about ' o'clock this morning and attempted to sell the shoes. The proprietor think l ing that the man had stolen the shoes refused to buy them and followed him out of the store. The man went down South Main street and the shoe dealer went after him. The former turned into Meadow street and so did his pur- suer, then side-stepped onto Benedict street, at the same time quickening his pace. But he could not lose the shoe man. The chase continued through Benedict X Burnham's freight yard to the tracks of the Naugatuck division along the tracks to Washington street. Here the shoe dealer went to the home of Officer Hickey, but the officer was not at home. In the meantime the man with the shoes escaped. The shoe dealer said that so many shoes have been stolen from him and other shoe dealers in the city that he gave chase to the man, hoping to see a policeman and to have him arrested. But he saw no policeman and his plans failed.
