Some time ago a peevish looking
man was seated in a cafe when a
man entered, leaving the door wide
open. Instantly the peevish party
became violently agitated.
Shut the door, you chumpp he
exploded. Where were you raised
in barn."
The other quietly closed the door
and then taking a seat at a nearby
table he buried his head in his arms
and began to sob. Naturally this
touched the heart of the peevish
one.
My friend" said he going over
to the sobbing citizen, Il didn't
mean to hurt your feelings. l
merely wanted you to close the
door"

without any good grain crop. But
some one brought in some sorghums
from Asia and Africa-milo maize,
kafir corn, kaowliang, and the like.
This year there will be seven million
acres of these crops planted. They
produce about as good yield to the
acre of grain on the average as corn,
and it is almost as good feed. 1t
makes good bread. And these sor-
ghUms will make crop in a season
which burns corn up. They stop
growing when it gets too dry, mark

off again.

Buck, an Andover farmer, charge of breach of peace, was con- tinued to Saturday by Judge Eberle in Hartford police court Friday morn ing, and later in the day the boy was turned over to Deputy Sheriff John F. Champlin of Windham county on a humane society complaint of i'll treat ment of a horse in Andover. Buck s arrest last Thursday afternoon shat old Windham girl and her dreams of wealth and happiness were rudely -up- set. Friday morning she was gradual ly forced to the conclusion that in stead of S2,000,000 Bucks chief pos session was either an abnormal imag- ination or distorted mind. The $5,00O touring car the couple had picked out is but a memory. In great agitation Buck made his first appearance in the detective bureau. directed there by Policeman w. J. King, and informed Chief Sergeant. Neither that he had been robbed of Q draft for $61, ,000 while coming down from Wilson's station on a trolley car. It was finally learned that Buck had informed a girl from Wilson's station that $2,000,000 had been left him by his grandmother in Boston. He added that he had a draft for $61,00O from the bequest and thought that was enough to get mar ried on. The girl agreed that it would make a good start. In the police sta- tion, when Buck weakened under the questioning and said that he had in vented the fortune to impress her.. the prospective bride said: 'SWell, you fooled me, all right" The police be- lieve Bucks mental faculties are im- paired
