Hot Time in Rutland.

| There is one town in Vermont where the
mercury has not been lowering about the
freezing point for the past two or three
weeks and that town is Rutland. Raids
| seizures and fines are getting to be almos
daily occurrences. If newspaper account:
are to be believed enough liquor of variou:
brands and varying degrees of stoutness
has been seized in the past two weeks tc
run water power for month. On one
occasion at least express wagons had to be
used to cart away the goods discovered; on
other occasions kegs, bottles and jugs
galore have been carried off by the raiding
officers. The most recent raid was last
Monday and the following is the list Of
prisoners and the amount Of liquor seized
A. w. LaFrance, one keg of beer; Carl
Atwood, 16 packages of liquor; w. H.
Mack, one package of liquor; Fred Ladd,
one jug of beer and two packages of
liquor; j. H. Butler, five packages of
liquor; Eugene Leonard, three bottles OF

fred Lorette, two packages OF liquor.
The noticeable features in the Rutland
enforcement of the prohibitory law are, the
authorities have not yet discovered that
there is such thing as second offense,
and no respondent was ever guilty of pay
ing fine. Under the luminous advice Of
Rutland attorneys appeals are always taken
and there promises to be some more fun in
the county court.
Oh, Rutland is warm town and it has
some warm officials. One day recently the
states attorney ceased from his raiding
long enough to be out of town for couple
of days and was greatly surprised on bis
return to learn that city attorney Rice had
been doing little raiding on bis own hook
during his absence. This of course wasn't
right, for states attorneys have monopoly
on the raiding business, and so of course
it made trouble. As result Mr. Rice
resigned last week. A report of the trou-
BILE says:
The last two city attorneys have taken
no action toward its enforcement, and
Mayor Clement, it is alleged, proposed to
| Mr.. Rice, the present attorney, that he
should pursue the same course OF policy Of
non action, thus following their example.
Mr.. Rice does not propose to follow the
dictation of Mayor Clement, and therefore
presented his resignation of the office OF
| city attorney. Mr.. Rice is the law partner
of ex-state's attorney Jones, who is now
under discipline of the supreme court for
reinforcement of the liquor law, and
says he did not propose to incur any hazard
at the request of the mayor and city
authorities.

land raiding is the fact that daily raid.
seem to effect no diminution in the Liquor
supply; something is found about every
time, no matter how frequently the officers
appear. Perhaps this is result Of tn,

impartial and literal enforcement of tn,

Here is an amusing play upon the word
sleeper, showing great ingenuity of construc-
ton and illustrating the curiosities of lam
guage. 1t will puzzle the careless reader.
sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is
that in which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper
is that on which the sleeper which carries
the sleeper while he sleeps runs. Therefore,
while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the
sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper
under the sleeper until the sleeper which car
ries the sleeper jumps off the sleeper and
wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking
the sleeper under the sleeper, and there is no
longer any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on
the sleeper.
