Why Girls Leave Home. II is said TO be
and OF wholesome conception. 1t is a
drama OF domestic life wherein are point

just suspicion and stubborn self will
how pque and passion may be response
BILE for the engulfing of innocence and
the wreck OF homes. In Why Girls Leave
Home there is woven a thrilling story
Of the misunderstanding and unyieding
side OF brother and sister which we'll
nigh brings ignominious ruin to both.
The presenting company is said to be an
exceptionally clever one and the stage
accessories perfect in every respect.
The new train schedule, which went
into effect this week. is practically the
same as last winters schedule. the prin-
cipal changes from the summer time ia
BILE being the removal of the northbound
train at 545 o'clock in the morning and
the morning train south over the Central
Vermont road, which leaves at 1915 in
stead of 1910, connecting at South Vernon
for Keene and Springfield. The after
noon Boston & Maine train south at 4.23
does not stop between Bellows Falls and
Brattleboro which makes very unsatis-
factory service for people wishing to go
to Putney and back the same day giving
them just about time enough to get din

Maine Railroad company would yield to
petition to stop that train at Putney
when the winter schedule went into effect

Rogers told Mr.. Miller that he had sus-
tanned damage through litigation, loss of
sales, etc, on account of Mr.. Miller's

settlement II Mr.. Miller would hear it,
otherwise he would seek to recover dam
ages through legal process Mr. Miller
said he would take counsel in the matter.
