A motion for arrest of judgment
in the case of James Woodson,
colored, who was convicted Of vio-
lation Of the prohibition law recent
ly, was overruled in Police Court

been discharged and recalled with
out sanction Of the jury commits
sion.

committed an offense that would
warrant dismissal and that there
fore his recall was legal, although
it had not been done through the
jury commission.

son, gave notice that he would ap-
peal the case, after Judge Mcmahon

BY FAY KING.

The tired business man is sup.
posed to be a perfect bore who
doesn't know how to make love
to his wife, talks shop all the
time, whose idea of art is a
beauty chorus, and whose only
music is the bell solo on cash
register.
His wife is supposedly an In-
happy creature with unlimited
means, who is misunderstood and
trifIes with tea room ROmeOs,
who console her for the cash-cal-
Oused man whose mind is riveted
upon making money.
Alas, the tired business man is
a most romantic character, and
If you ask me, / think it's the
tired business mans wife that is
to blame for the outline current
history gives him.
In the first place the tired busi-

HUSBAND BoASTED OF
DANES, WIFE CHARGES

Mrs. Mary A. Duckett yesterday
filed suit in the District Supreme
Court against Cecil H. Duckett for
limited divorce, alleging cruelty
and also charging her husband
with boasting that he had lots of
danes who would do anything he
wanted them to do"
The wife, represented by attor-

alleges non-support.
They were married October 8,
1918, and have enc child whose

There are many women who find
their household duties almost unbear-
able owing to some weakness or de-
rangement. Thetrouble may be slight,
yet cause such annoying symptoms
as dragging pains, weakness and
run down feeling.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is splendid medicine for
such conditions. 1t has in many cases
relieved those symptoms by removing
the cause of them. Mrs, Halls ex-'

Then Discovers the Cause in His Wife.
Bird on Screen Gives Story Away.

tereSted in art, music, and acting.
She understands what he's chirp-
ing about and that makes it more
romantic.
The tired business man doesn't
rave on like a dime novel, He
doesn't hand her lOtta CUFF just
to see what effect it has on her,
like the bird with the long locks
and Ogling orbs.
In how many books and plays
and movies do you ever see the
hero an actor, an artist, or q
musician?
Haven't you noticed that he is
usually a tired business man, and
the actor Is tickleds to death to

DIFFERENT ON STAGE.
The tired business mans wife
loses her heart to the handsome
hero who sits at a large, fiat
topped desk in q. well-furnished
office, or she weeps with delight
at the romantic love affair of
garage mechanic and the little
stenOgrapher.
She doesn't stop to appreciate
the fact that the bird on the
screen is only playing at being
what her husband really is.
The tired business man often
!. has q better shaped head and
wears his clothes with as much
swank as the hero in the play,
but just because he doesn't stand
off and feaVe signs and press
roses to his lips and toss them at
her feet, she thinks he hasn't any
soul.
when the tired business mans
wife meets an actor or author the
first things she does is sit back
and rave over what he has done.
and wants TO hear al about how.
he gets his plots and his inspira-
tiOns, and she reads everything
he has written or all ab0nt what

the market, she'd find him just
as clever and interesting and rO-

CHECK AUTOGRAPHS.
She knows a lot about fox trOts
but very little about finance, and
that's why the guy in the silk
pumps and dancing shoes thrills
her more.
The tired business man doesn't
autograph his picture with lotta
sluSh. but when he autographs a
check it counts for something.
He may not read his lines like
a LOthariO Of the limelight, but
the lines he does read mean a
lot to the welfare Of the world.
When a movie star plays a ter
rifle master of the wheat market,
the wives of the tired business
men sit rigid with the interest
and romance Of it, but when their
own husband comes homo and
tells them about a big deal he
nut over, they are bored to tears.
II you ask me why he should
be called the tired business man,
I'd say because q wife that isn't
CAPABLE Of seeing the romance OF
her husbands business would
make any man tired!
How long would the actor,
artist and author hang around II
the tired business mans wife
didn't let him talk about himself?

COUNTY ' MEETING
 HELD AT DANlELSON
(continued from Page oue)

NS9hAtnued from rage One)
 Last fall. IS Windham County boys attended the State Older Boys Con ference at New Britain, where they met with representative boys from all parts of the state and heard in- spiratonal addresses by some of the best speakers to boys available in the country.
 Three Father and Son hanquets were held in the county last year. There were 300 fathers and sons in attendance al these three banquets.
 Last May, Windham County took a team of 30 boys to the state track meet at Hartford and succeeded in winning fifth place among the eight counties entered.
 One of the most important enter prises which has been undertaken by the County Y. NJ. C. A. is Camp Woodstock. |sndham County has joined with two other counties, Hart ford and Holland. in the establishment of a summer camp for boys. It is io- cated on 4s-acre farm on Black Pond in West Woodstock. It is an ideal camp property and we hope, eventually, to be able to own it.
 The Putnam Patriot cup. which is awarded to the boy who makes the greatest progress and shows the best spirit at camp. was awarded to John Boys of Ponfret for the first period of camp. For the second period, the cup was awarded to Robert Galbraith of Holland County.
 This year plans are all laid for con- ducting Camp Woodstock six weeks. The first week will be A training camp for older boys and young men. the purpose being to give them some definite training and instruction in the principles of leadership. The following five weeks will be the reg ular recreation camp for boys. We have increased the capacity of camp this year to l25 per period.
 The cost of the work for the past year has been S5,659.76. The coun- ty committee wishes to express it's thanks, in behalf of the boys of the county, to the men and women who have so generously contributed this money.
 Each year one-third of the county committee is elected for a term of three years. Those chosen Tuesday night were the following. Archa Walker of Eastford, Nj. F. Childs of Woodstock. Sidney w Bard of Brooklyn, N. V. Rawson of North Grosvenordale, E. D. Johnston of Central Village, P W. Roper of Moosup, B. C. Hopkins of Danielson. Harold H. Barber of 0neeo, C. D. Sharpe of Putnam, Ralph C. Jenkins of Putnam. C. A. Downs of Good year. Sidney P Marland of Daniel son, Arthur Hughes of Dayville. and Judge Harry E. Back of Danielson.

LIGHTNING MELTS
 WIRE, DIGS TRENCH
Terrific Thunderbolt Does Queer Stunts on Provi-
 dence Road

Since carly Sunday morning hun dreas of people from Putnam as well as from Rhode Island and adjacent parts of Windham County, have been visitip& the farm of James Reynolds. situated near the Bowditch reservoir on the Providence road and on the road leading to Chestnut Hill. There they have seen the nearest apnroacb Co a war trench in this section of the county, created about l.30 o'clock Sunday morning by a single thunder bolt that Tn moments fash tore up Hundreds of feet of earth, severed a great ledge of rock, hurled boulders about like pebbles, destroyed a mile of telephone wire. tore elapboards of the farmhouse, and half destroyed a telephone pole.
 The phenomenon is one of the most extraordinary physical occurrences that this section of the country has ever known.
 MT. Reynolds and his family were asleep when the storm arose shortly after midnight Saturday. When the storm was just over the reservoir, the family were aroused by a terrific flash of lightning, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder. The house shook and it appeared for the moment that violent earthquake was taking place. MT. Reynolds, who is s5 years old, on investigation found that clapboards had been torn from the side of his house.
 In the morning MT. Reynolds dis covered that the road past the house was blocked, that all of the clocks in the house had stopped at l.30 o'clock and that the telephone was out of or der. Investigation revealed that tha telephone wires for over a mile had completely disappeared, presumably melted up by the lightning. On go- ing up the road, Mir. Reynolds found large ledge split in two and trench dug into the earth about four feet deep. Running west through the woods, the lightning had plowed a deep trench extending about 400 feet. Rocks had been thrown hither and thither. and one large boulder was resting in small tree.
 It is estimated that nearly thou sand people have visited the place since the storm took place.

P. H. s. WINS
Miss Cohen Most Expert Typist In
 Contest With killinsly High


 Miss Ruth Cohen, by writing at a net rate of 63.9 words per minute for ten minutes, won the annual school typewriting contest between Putnam and Kiliingly High schools for Put nam. The affair took place last Fri day evening in the school auditorium here. A Killingly student took sec ond place with approximately 60 words.
 Miss Brodeur of the visitors took first place in the contest for students who have had typing for one year only. Genevieve Letters of Putnam was second. There was q good mu- sical program by the F. H. s. orehes- tra.
 For the first time in six years the baseball team lost to killingly High at Danielson. Poor hitting and eight Putnam errors enabled the home team to win s to last Friday afternoon. Cartier and Blakely both twirled good ball, and yielded hits sparingly. The contest was a 6-6 tie until the first of the eighth, when Putnam errors net ted Killingly the two runs they need ed.
 The hitting of Charlie Murphy of Putnam, who singled four times in four chances, and the sensational fielding of Teddy" Reeves, Killing Tvs star all-round athlete, were the bright spots in the afternoons en- counter.
 The State Board of Education has approved Putnam High school as measuring up to the standard required to accept out-of-town pupils.
 The junior and senior classes ex- pect big time at the public dance to be given in Union hall a week from tomorrow evening. Tickets will be sold by the members of the classes. The Arcadian orchestra, eight pieces, has been engaged.
 Southbridge High plays Putnam High in baseball on the school field tomorrow afternoon. Saturday base ball games by the school are proving popular, and there will doubtless be a large turnout.
