sardine Salad.


A real sardine salad is not made of
those little fish that come in oil and
are so high-priced; it is of the sailed
variety, which you buy by weight
Take half pound of these, soak an
hour, changing the water at least six
times. Pull them apart taking out
the spine, and cut one Of the halves
into strips an inch long. coiling the
other half into little rolls; these last
are for garnishing. Use some gherkins,
some mixed pickles, little smoked
salmon and a teaspoonful of capers;
mix all together with three parts Of
oil to one of vinegar; pile the heap in
your salad bowl and garnish prettily
with lemon slices and quarters, cold
boiled tongue, stoned olives, q few
picked oysters, and the little rolls Of

Shameless Bennington.

The Gamblers Were not Permitted to
Work Their Games Circus Day But
! Quantities of Liquor Were Openly
Sold.
A large crowd attended the circus at
Bennington last week. and the disgrace re-
corded at the time of the firemen's tourna-
ment was repeated, according to the fol-
lowing press despatch: "At the request of
several of the citizens Sheriff Wilson was
on duty all day, and every hotel in the place
was given notice that if any gambling de-
vice was permitted on their premises the
owners would be prosecuted to the full eX-
tent of the law. Consequently there was
very little of that going on.
Nothing was done, however, to prevent the
sale of intoXicants, and every bar was run
at its utmost capacity, and more drunken
ness was seen ON the streets than there was
firemen's day.
The village police were all on duty, and
it was no uncommon thing to see some of
them walking into saloon and taking
glass of beer.
One of the officers, when asked why he
did not stop the sale, replied that the police
had no orders to interfere in any way with
the sale of liquor, and should not try to,
as public opinion would not sustain them
in it.
Within a stones throw of the court
house, where the sheriff had his headquar-
tiers all day, and directly opposite the post
office, two saloons were running from A.
NJ until midnight.
Seven men in the two were kept busy all
day, and it was almost impossible to get
into them during the times that the circus
was not exhibiting.
There were more arrests made for drunk
enness yesterday than on firemen's tourna-
ment day. A justice of the peace held
open court in the afternoon, and as soon as
arrested the party was taken before him,
tried and fined. If able to pay the fine, or
some arrangement could be made whereby
it would be paid, the prisoner was released
If not, he was sent to Jail again.
Bennington is a village of about 4oOO
people, and in two of its wards there are
no less than % bars where liquor is openly
sold.
This is in the face of prohibitory law,
and before special prosecutor, states attor-
ney, chief of police, etc.
The town is strongly in favor of high Ii
cense, and so is the county,"
