Find County Too sOphisticated.

Alice Mcclure and Mabel Gail, two
young women from Boston, came Friday
to work at the Randolph Inn, having been
hired through an employment agency by
Landlord G w. Hayward, who sent them
Central Vermont and Boston q Name
mileage book to use in travelling here.
The damsels, whose knowledge OF geog-
raphy seemed to be rather limited, were
amazed al finding themselves so far from
the Hub and indignant with the agency
people who represented Randolph as only
two hours ride from the city. Not being
able to exist more than 30 miles from Bos-
ton, they announced their firm determina-
tion to return the next day, whereupon
Mr.. Hayward asked for his mileages.
Though they might be uncertain as to
whether Vermont was located in Massa-
chusetts or New Mexico, these city ladies
knew for certain that everybody in the
country is guileless and simple, exactly
like the Ruoes you see IN the ''County
Fair" and other rural plays, so they pro-
ceeded to work sharp game. The mile
ages, they said, were lost; the books after
beng used, were put in a handbag, and
books and handbag had mysteriously dis
appeared. OF course they were unable to
refund the $40 the books were worth, not
having bly 40 cents to their names
Landlord Hayward shook the hayfeed
out of his eyes and allowed them to de-
part but took care that Deputy Sheriff j.
F. Lamson should journey by the same
train. As was expected, the girls handed
the conductor the missing {. Y. book, No.
SO, ,3l2 and also had the lost B. & NJ. book No.
ll4S, in their possession. They were accord
ingly arrested at White River Junction
and brought back for hearing at which
they were fined % and costs. Neither could
pay, so they were kept at the Inn, heing
spared Incarceration in the
lookup, until Sunday, when Miss Mcclure, +.
having received the necessary funds for
her release, returned TO Boston. Miss Gail .
was obliged to tarry until Tuesday night, /
a friend from Boston appearing then with .
sufficient money TO pay her fine and take 4
her away.
