MAPLE SUGAR SEASON
A tair Crop, but not Up to the Aver.
age. Two Pounds to a Tree a Fair
Average.

uVCs NWV " u lECB u OH
Average.
We are getting inquiries from diff.
ferent sources asking for an estimate
on the Maple Sugar Crop throughout
Vermont, and thought we could best
answer through the columns of the
NEWS AND CITIZEN.
AS we have about fifty buyers To-
Gated in different parts of the State
buying for Reid, Murdoch & Co., who
have a plant located at bur ington,
and as these buyers are reporting to
us two to four times per week we
ought to be in d position to give
quite a close estimate. Up to this
writing 1t is safe to say that 2 lbs. to
tree Is about fair average. Some
OF our buyers report less than 2 lbs
and some of them a trife more Mr..
Shattuck of Eden says 2 lbs about
the average in that town; h. b.
Patch of Fletcher, thinks they have
not made much more than IL lbs to
the tree. Our No. Troy buyer thinks
they will make better than 2 lbs.
The quality has not been quite up
to the average, very little compar.
atively real fancy sugar has been
made. At this writing we are having
snow storm and free z9, WEIGH is sure
to bring at least one more good run
OF sap, therefore it is safe to perdi"ta
fair crop, but not quite up to the
average, which in the last five years
is called 2h lbs to the tree.
Years ago three pounds was called
an average, in fact it was called a
poor season when sugar makers did
not make at least three pounds.

The Sheriff Got Him.

Sheriff Stevens did bit of clever
detective work last week. He re-
ceived notice last Thursday from
johnson that man was practicing
fraud in very shrewd manner. The
man struck Johnson on Wednesday
and made good appearance. His
scheme was that he was hard up, had
got strapped and in order to raise
little money to help him to get toSt.
Johnsbury would ask a loan on a
gold ring. His scheme worked quite
well. He secured q dollar or two on
a ring and would then work the game
on another victim, having a good
supply of rings. Several rings were
disposed of before the fraud got out.
When it did leak out the sheriff was
notified.
Mr.. Stevens went to work at once
and found his man was headed for
Wolcott, having left the train Thurs
day morning at Morrsville. A ring
or two was disposed of at Wolcott,
and the man went on to Hardwick.
Stevens reached Hardwick in due
time and found his man in the post
office, where he had just mailed a
batch of rings to a partner probably
in the same business elsewhere.
The man, who was about 30 years
of age, gave his name as r. L. Barnes
and claimed to hail from Manchester,
N. H. He was brought to this place
and after a nights sojourn in the
county hotel was taken to johnson
for trial.
A hearing held there Saturday be-
fore Judge Dilling ham resulted in the
prisoner being fined $15. and costs,
which amount not being paid be was
entertained by the Sheriff over Sun
day and on Monday was taken to
Rutland hy the Sheriff, where he will
put in 116 days in polishing stone.

LIFE IN JAVA.


The Natives Are Grave and Mainly

their meals at home, as is the man

usually to breakfast and dine at one
Of the itinerant cookslops to be found
at every street corner. More exclusive
people may be seen buying the small
packets of curry and rice wrapped in
fresh plantain leaves and pinned with
bamboo splfnters, which are intended
for home consumption.
To stroll down a village street anu
watch the culinary operations i'll prog
ress at Wsayside eating shops was all
unfailing source of amusement, ana
very clean and appetizing they looked
though the smell was occasionally
somewhat trying to the European nose
The Javans, like all rice eating peo-
pie, are fond of pungent and evil smell
ing sauces, and equivalents Of the huF-
man gnapee and Japanese bear soy
are in constant reuuisition.
The natives, and especially the chii-
dren, look fat and healthy and appear
to enjoy life under easy conditions,

grave demeanor and are not endowed

which seemed to convince Frances that
Elizabeth's idea was the right one. Her
only objection to the plan was in the name
the combination baby should bear. Eliza
beth soon settled this question. Her first
name shall be Trottie, and her second
name shall be Tottie. Most children have
two names. Don't you know yours Is
Frances Dean and mine is Elizabeth
Marks?"
Frances doubts were overcome, and TAX
Ing TrottieTottie between them the twin
mothers walked to the edge of the porch,
as happy as happy could be.
Suddenly the twins heard loud squawk
ing and Tapping of wings. Looking up
they beheld two large birds who were
quarrelfng over third and smaller one.
Such disagreeable noise as they made.
Both Elizabeth and Frances put their
hands over their ears. The smaller bird,
although 1t was not doing a bit of the
squabbling, was being pecked and bitten
by the others.
TOP It, you naughty bird" cried Eliza
beth. stamping her tiny foot and waving
her parasol above her in a threatening
manner. BRIDES ought never quarrel.
Look at us. There's only one dolly for
two of us and we're tending we're twin
mudders. This way we can both be her
mudder, don't you see. It's an ever so
much nicer way than fighting. Why don't
you tend you're dat little BRIDES twin
mudders?"
Whether Elizabeth's words were respon-
sible for it, or whether the quarrel had
been settled in some way known only to
the birds themselves can never be explain
ed. The squabble came to a sudden end
and the Tapping of wings ceased. Per-
haps the force of example was too strong
for the birds. but whatever the cause the
two large ones took up their positions, one
on each side of the little one, and close to-
gether. in perfect peace and quietness, flew
over the heads of the twins and Trottie-
Tottie, out into the garden beyond.
Come, darlings," called mother now
we are ready for walk Where shall
we go?'
ITO the tandy store said Elizabeth. and
Frances' voice repeated: Yes, to the
tandy store"
And mother remembering the dear little
pea cemakers, consented
