 Deacon. how hard did you ever see it rain?"
 Well. sir.'' said the deacon, "once upon time. when was at home, we had m old cider barrel laying out in the yard with both ends out and the Uunghole up. and. would you believe it, it rained so hard into that bunghole that water couldn't run out of both ends fast enough, and it swelled up and busted"'
 Then Reuben Henry spoke up. He said he'd never seen 1t rain very hard. but he'd seen some mighty cold weath- CT. Somebody said. 'Rube. how cold did you ever see 1t get?"
 He said. Well. sir, one time when I was living down in Picka way county. in hog killing time. We had kettle of boiling water setting on the stove. md we took it out in the yard. and it froze so doggone quick the ice was hot"-Nadonal Monthly.

KENEALY MAD
Republican State Leader Waxes Wroth Over News
 paper Report
BALDWI..,S APPOINTMENTS
Especial from United Press,

Stamford. Feb. 27-Michael Kenealy, chairman of the Republican State Central committee. this afternoon sent dispatch to the Hartford Times stating that he had just read an arti- cle in Sa .urday's issue of that paper in regard to meeting of the State Central committee and he wished 70 inform the Times that its reporters informant was an unmitigated liar.
 The article in the Times gave the impression hat MT. Kenealy he'd call- cd the committee together for the pur- pose of instructing the, Senators as to what they ought to do In regard to the apointm ents made to impor lant offices by Governor Baldwin.
 "The meeting of the committee" !" said Mr. Kenealy this afternoon. "was called at the request of the Senators themselves and the suggestion for it did not origina,e with the committee. My own view of the matter is that the Senate is the body to judge whether the Governors appointments should or should not be confirmed. Any other position would be to my mind absurd. The State Cen tral com mittee is not instructing the Senators as to what they ought to do. They are perfectly competent to transact their own business. To assume that the article in the Times represents me accurately would be to assume that was a fool

 Mayor Buckingham, City Attorney Cullinan and ex-Mayor Henry Lee con. sented to serve on the committee with urer Hall agreed to act as the sole custodian of the funds, and such he is today.
 "All the work of making the arrange ments and promoting the affair was left to me The mayor agreed to arr range for the police and militia protec- tion, but aside from that, the com- engagements for the affair.
 T acted as promoter. I succeeded in getting the biggest crowd in the his- tory of the city down to the event, and one of the biggest crowds in the his tory of the world that ever attended such an event You could count on the tips of your fingers the number of crowds of this size that ever gath cred in the history of the world.
 ''The crowd was so big that it was impossible for 10 policemen to handle it, that's the simple truth. What could 10 policemen do with 50,000 peo- pie? I give the police and the mayor credit; 1t was wonderful that they suc- ceeded in accomplishing as much as they did, but the mob was too big.
 ''The simple truth is that the peo- pie didn't understand the workings of an aeroplane. They thought that an aeroplane is a machine that can rise right up into the air. They wouldn't give Paine a chance to get a start and that's the reason why there was no flight.
 "Paine has made good his part. He has shown that he can fly. Last week he made four straightaway flights be- fore big crowd. The aviator is all right and the machine is all right and all that is necessary is to give him a fair chance to make good.

 "As to the stories which have ap- peared regarding Treasurer Hall, I am authorized by him to deny them ab- solutely. MT. Hall holds the funds and in accordance with the decision of the committee he will hand the money to Paine or return 1t to it's donors, when the time comes.
 'The committee will try to perfect arrangements for flight on Saturday. Any news that is au. lentic news con- corning the event will come from me, tee. The affa IT is going to be run as 1t should, regardless of knockers, wind bags or jealous people.
 "The public may expect a flight on Saturday-a free exhibition-if the weather is such that it is possible to announced later. Here is an exhibi- tion such as would cost any other city from $3 900 to $2U00o and Bridgeport is getting it for nothing"
