Over them she has had the tenderest day dreams, and those tender-frelghted ted words have foated through her dreams. at night.

They are yester- years expectations-exp pressfons of af- fections not these of today. They should be cast aside with the hopes that went with them
 No matter how dearly a girl may have prized these old love letters if she has lost the key to the heart that penned them they Aare as tasteless as dead-se fruit on her lips.

AMERICANS DISLIKE
 DOORS, CRITIC FINDS

London, Jan 2-''The American dislikes doors and has as few as pos sible of them in his house. asserts George Birmingham, in the London Daily Mail
 eff, contrary to his wishes, an arch itect puts a. door between a room and a passage, the American ignores it and tries to forget that it is there. asked the reason of this and was told that in England doors are necessary because the English, being still rather barbarous, do not know how to heat their houses. %
 'stThe American wants to feel that he and his wife and children and servants and even the stranger with in his gate are all living together; hence the spacious openings of his domestic interiors.
 'fThe American is by nature so sociable he cannot realize that other people like isolation

WHICH IS WORTH MoRE2

A story telegraphed from Borah ought to be given the first page on every newspaper in the state and pub lished for special circulation when the next legislature assem b1es. It was that a farmer out there started the season with a fine. flock of seventy sheep and today has seventeen left, of which several are crippled. It wasn' t sickness. Oh no.s It was just dogs.
 The state of Connecticut furnishes peculiar facilities for sheep culture :. It has thousands of acres, now prac- tically4 unused, which are fitted for raising sheep. There is just one req son why this is not done, and that reason is spelled in three letters d-o-g.
 Sheep are valuable for their meat, especially valuable for the meat of their young -(nothing better goes than fine spring 1amb.9 and they are valu- able, too, for their annual crop of wool, and for their final yield of sheepskin. Alive, a sheep yields two crops a year, and, at the end of her career, is a crop herself. Let some body match that for the dog, and, perhaps, we will admit there is even argument in favor of the dog Hartford Courant.
