Burlington, Dec % In city court
Saturday Rosa Vail and Rosa Haley,
two young girls, were arranged on
charge Of prostitution.
They pleaded guilty and were sen.
fenced to not more than so or less than
40 days at Rutland. This is their
first appearance IN court. This makes
fourteen girls from this section who
have just been sentenced 10 Rutland
on the same charge.
Such a scene as presented itself in
the outer room of the city court while
the girls were awaiting the trial Of
their cases is rarely witnessed.
Every girl seemed to be a soldiers
sweetheart, and Uncle Sans warriors
tiocked In to see them and console
them In the hour Of their trouble
They also brought them candy, frui,
and words of good cheer. There were
several affectionate good byes ir
which kisses were used and the girls
were happy at the thought of an early
reunion with their soldier men WIN
they thought would pay their fines
But they had not reckoned correctly
and CONSERVATION was thrown into
their ranks when the Judge gave then
all straight sentences to Rutland.

ter long chase over fields and thro.
ugh barbed wire fences, and after
severe struggle succeeded IN capturing
the assailant who proved to be man
by the name of Alfred HENDERSON, who
for some reason, at present unknown,
had committed quite serious assault
upon VIM. Recor as he, with his dau.
ghter was returning from Barre City.
Officer Mcleod at once notified DR..
E. H. Bailey who responded at once
and found that Mr.. Recor had Eve
gashes cut in his head with, a6me

A SINGING Earthxyorm.

We have heard Of a good many crea.
lures which sing. including Mr.. Rus
kin's singing serpents In the valley Of
Diamonds, yet Mr.. Annandale has as
sured US that there exists In the Malay
peninsula being which the Malays de-
scribed under the above heading.
1t lives In a burrow in the ground
and cheerfully sings, or at least chlrps.
But the Malays call everything that
creeps a worm, and the beast which
they really mean is a large kind of
cricket with a voice
In the very same part of the world,
however, Is n real earthworm, huge
monster three or four feet In length,
which was discovered not long ago and
which really has voice, or at least
can produce a sound The Latin name
of musicus has been given to 1t on that
account
When 1t Is foraging about near the
surface of the ground, the numerous
sharp little bristles implanted In its
skin. which enable II to hold on to the
earth. strike against stones and give
out a musical sound. This Is rather
more like twanging a Jews harp
than singing. But any sort of sound
from these silent, gliding creatures is
singing London Express.

An Ant For a Pet.

One of the queerest little pets ever
seen is the tame ant belonging to a well
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through a tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one of the ants kept coming into the
tube To eat up the honey In the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
came to look for the food, and he offer
ed 1t sotue bonev ~ the point of a
needle. says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with its an
tenn@, until 1t reached the needle.
Soon It learned to take the honey off
Its Keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid of living things,
and a new odor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant is now SO tame that 1t quits
the bulb as soon as the cork is removed
and goes to find the honey on the SCI
entlst's finger. When It's meal Is over.
1t does not try TO hurry away, but
waits till its master lifts It on bristle
and carries 1t back to Its nest.

Negro SunernfifiOn.

Many Of the negro superstitions In
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: IF you want peppahs to grow,
you must git mad. My old oman an
me had a spat, an l went right out
an planted my peppahs, an they come
right up" Still another saying Is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by a redheaded or by a high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kin
ding" on that day. The three signs
In which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
I'd of February, that hoe must not be
carried through house or death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed In the dark of the moon as well as
all vegetables that ripen in the ground
and that corn must be planted In the
light of the moon.

The most eccentric action of an eccen-
trio man was Lord Southey's cool ar
rangement for suicide by means of a
guillotine. He had a magnificent one
erected In the drawing room Of his
house In the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony In
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife, sharp as razor, was Of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and, clothed In robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform
under the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should release
the knife. But the spring failed to
work. and the would be suicide decided
to give the guillotine to a museum in-
stead of making a second attempt to
end his life. 1t Is said that he made
an annual pilgrimage to see the gulllo-
tine until the end of his life.
