Found Sleeping in Barns.

George Duclo, a 14-year-old lad,
found sleeping in barns and outbuild-
ings south of Rutland city and badly in
need of support, was sent to the reform
atory at Vergennes Tuesday by Humane
Officer w. w. Tower. A resident of the
section where the boy.has been staying
for three or four days brought the mat
ter to the officers attention, and Mon
day night young Duclo applied for help.
Mr. Tower gave him his supper and he
was lodged at the police station. Mr.
Tower will pay the lads way to Yer
gennes, where he pleaded to be sent.
The boy was released from the insti-
tuition a short time ago because of good
behavior. He had served 10 months of
his minority for stealing, which he
claims he did only upon being forced to
by his father. According TO Mr. Tower
young Duclo said he dared not 90 home
as his father beat him, and locked him
out. The boy had suffered from the
cold.

A New Question in Vermont Law.

An entirely new question in Vermont
law was argued Saturday in Montpelier
before Chancellor John w. Rowell by
F. S. Topper, of Fairfield, and Guy H.
Start, of Bakersfield, for the orators
John Young, of Newport, and Harry
Blodgett, of St., Johnsbury, for the St.
Johnrbury &c Lake ChamplaM railroad.
The question raised is whether railroad
companies who have taken land under
the right of eminent domain can lease
any of said land for private purposes
and affects every railroad in the state.
Ephraim and Charles Read, of Fairfield,
had certain lands owned by them signed
for the purpose of building the St Johns
bury & Lake Champlain railroad. The
road has leased certain portions of land
to the Cary Maple Sugar Co., which is
erecting a storehouse. The orators bring
suite on the ground that this land signed
for eminent domain is being used for an
unlawful purpose and consequently re-
verts to them, the original owners.

of the breath and thrill of pleasure
that had been his when years before
he had first penetrated to that spot.
Presently he stretched himself at
full length on the luxuriant couch of
sun-warmed moss. The gentle sigh
of a white pine, the warmth of the
afternoon sun and the woody odor so
peculiar to the spring soothed the
troubled spirit which had been driving
him over the hills since early morn
ing.
1t was Easter, a rarely perfect
Easter in the very opening of April.
1t had given to the church bells that
morning an unwonted joyousness. The

This day the superabundance of life
and hope but intensified his own
hopelessness. He had plunged into

John AinSwOrth'S
Easter Flower
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS


John Ainsworth flung himself down
and confessed being tired He had
tramped all Of Is miles over sharply
pitched hills, through the close clutch
ing tangle of scrub oak thickcts, I'M
der whispering pines, across brush
grown old pastures and around the
Doggy shores of secluded peaceful
little woodland ponds.
Now he was back to his favorite re-
treat on Telegraph hill 1t was little
open spot on the very brow of the
hill Back and on two sides an oak
forest stood guard, and below was a
dense thicket of saplings, too young
to cut off his view. Away across the
now greening pastures and lower
meadows he could see the spires Of
the village thrust through the great
overhanging elms which hid the
houses. Beyond, the level brown
marshes stretched away to the irregu-
lar line of sand dunes the outer line
of defense against the besieging wa
ters of the bay.
Beyong these in turn the horizon be-
came a quiet hazy blending of the
deep, almost purple blue of the water
with the soft light blue of the April
sky. The sun glinted from the white
foaming curl of wave and the dis
tance made dazzling white the dingy
sail of a mackerel fisher.
To John Ainsworth the scene was
so familiar that he was wont to call
it his own" Yet to-day, as he looked
unon If il was with the same catch

MEN MAKE BEST COOKS.
More Particular over Details Neces
sary For Perfect Dish.

Sary Tor perfect DISH.
Cooking is undoubtedly q ans
art, and an accomplished chez is as
much OF an artist IN ms particular
branch OF work as a painter or n
sculptor
There is as much difference ue-
tween good cooking and bad as oe-
tween "A symphony performed by a
great master ON a hrstrate instru
ment and a so-called melody played
by some out-Ot-tune barrel organ.
In the ordinary domestic duties it is
very hard to ind a man equalling
much less eXcelling, woman-it is
her sphere in life, but cooking rises
far above mere domestic duty; it is,
as have said before, fine art. The
reason that in cooking the palm has
always been awarded to mere man"
is not far to seek.
1t is not because man is more cpl
curean than woman for this, though
maintained by women, is not fact.
Woman is quite as fastidious over her
food as the ordinary man, and be-
slows as much thought over her meals
as he does 1t is simply that man is
more thorough in his work, and thor
oughness is at the root Of all good
cooking, as of everything else. A
man is more particular over the vari-
GUS little details which are necessary
to make up perfect dish.
Take, for example, an Indian curry,
containing so many little trifling in
gredients-all of which are equally
important to make a perfect dish
when finished. The loss of one would
mean the spelling of the others and
the complete ruin of the flavor of the
curry.
A man knows this and will have
them all. None are too unimpOrtant
for his consideration. A woman, on
the other hand, will manage With
what she has got handy. This is very
nice and obligng of her, no doubt,
but it eventually spoils her cooking,
and the dish is not a success.
One of the chief faults in wo-
mans cooking is her want of accu-
racy over the smaller items-the eX-
act amount of flavOring, the right
condiments to each dish; and that is
one of the chief reasons why her
cooking pales before that of a man,
and makes his dishes preferable on all
occasions to hers.
To a chef his work is a "joy for
ever" and he invents new dishes
with as much pride and care as a
modiste or a milliner creates some
new gown or hat, and he carefully
studies the trifiing details of each sep
arate flavor before he sends his new
masterpiece of culinary art before
his patrons.
When women have learned that no
trifie is too small for their considera-
ton in the matter of cooking, then
we may find them at the head of the
kitchens of the chief clubs and hotels
but until then there will certainly be
at least one place where man can
reign supreme.-A. Escottier, in st
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Miss Tremere, eighteen years old, is
a girl who, with her mother, conducts
a grocery in a certain big city. Not
long ago she was robbed Of several
hundred dollars in property and mon
ey. The police were notified. They
were supposed to have put their most
foxy sleuths on the thief's track.
These gentlemen did nothing, The
prospect was the girl would never get
any of her property back. She deter
mined to hunt the thief herself She
evolved plan which, perhaps because
of its very simplicity, was overlooked
by the astute masculine sleuths. She
patiently watched and waited and at
length ran the thief to cover and got
back her money and jewels. Women
everywhere are proving that they can
attend to their affairs better than any
body else can do it for them.

from the Indian, who was resting the

Whenever he moved the weapon

Then, to show how the thing was done,
the Indian moved about the snake in

The Indian then agreed to bandage his

ANIMAL STRIKERS.
Both Birds and Beasts Occasionally
Refuse TO Work

Both Birds and Beasts Occasionally
Refuse TO Work.
Both birds and beasts occasionally go
on strike. according to observers. A
herd of horses will bunch together, neg
lect their food, become FESTIVE. neigh
and rub noses when in field. The
outcome is that the herd will not allow
themselves to be saddled or harnessed
and will chase and attempt to kick the
attendants. Female birds take tan
trums and refuse to do the homework.
They Desert their nests and leave their
eggs to become cold and barren. The
male naturally becomes greatly con-
cernedl but with the bird and beast
creation the male will never attack the
female, so there is no remedy. War
blers and starlings are given greatly to
these strikes.
A species of black ants have little
yellow ants which do most of their
work for them. Occasionally the vel
low species will so on q strike. Their
food supply is cut. off, but If that does
not avh all the strikers are attacked or
another lot Of yellow ants are secured.
Even the rabbit is hardened strik-
er. In rabbit colonies the stronger rab-
bits do most of the burrowing, and as
often as perhaps once in two years
these become discontinued and refuse
to work.

In a report to the department of COM

"While there is nothing new in the
fact that European highway authorl-
ties are using hot pitch as a road pre-
servative and means of preventing the
formation of dust, it Is well to state
that the first tentative efforts in this
direction have resulted in the perfec-

The principal suburban boulevard Of

at is a popular error TO describe the
process as a mere sprinkling OF hot
pitch. 1t is equally an error to sup
pose that valuable results may be OBJ
tanned by smearing hot pitch over
loosely constructed gravel or clay
roads. On the other hand, 1t may be
expected that dust will be effectively
banished from a well built macadamiz-
ed highway into which hot tar is thor
oughly worked and that repair cost
will be diminished by from 20 to 40
