CUSTODY OF A CHILD
Justice Howard Inclined in Favor VI Mr. and
Mrs Dunlap.

Justice Howard Inclined IN TdVor VI Wf anu
Mrs Dunlap.
The following from the Troy Times
of Saturday evening will be of inter
est to many in this section as the par
ties concerned are former residents OF
Bennington, SALISBURY and Airing
ton. Hugh Dunlap is brother of
Postmaster Thomas Il. Dunlap of
South Shaftsburr, where the Dixons
lived when Dixon deserted his wife and
child.
"The question OF whether Hazel Dix
on, bright-faced and sweet little nine
year old girl, shall remain with her
foster parents, Mr. and Mrs Hugh Dun
law, with whom she has lived since
babyhood, or shall be turned over to
her father, Herbert A. Dixon, who de-
serted her and her mother seven years
ago, was again before Justice Howard
this morning on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by Owen w. Con
molly for the father.
"The proceedings we're brought last
fall and after taking the testimony
Justice Howard found the matter so
pulling that he adjourned it six
months for further consideration. Ac-
cording to the testimony in the case
Dixon deserted his wife and her girl
baby in Vermont seven years ago, and
subsequently, the wife secured div
orce and was awarded the custody of
| the child.
"She placed the little girl in the care
of Mr. and Mrs Dunlap who live on a
farm north of Troy and have no chill
dren OF their own. The mother died
about two years ago and left the child
to the foster parents. The formal pap
ers we're never taken out. About a
year or so ago Dixon married again
and settled down in Upper Troy.
Judge Howard said he had given the
matter great thought lie said, u
have been very much in doubt as to
what advantage there would be in Civ.
ing this child into the custody Of her
father, and feel very much inclined
to let the Dunlaps retain possession OF
her. For seven years Mr. Dixon had
not only not visited her, but he had
absolutely neglected to make the least
effort toward her support During
that time, these people, who are not
relatives, have clothed, fed and cared
tor her atconsiderable cost. Mr. Dixon
Ices not even offer to undertake TO re
pay them now. The welfare of the
child is the paramount consideration
10 such cases as these, and it seems to
me that the child would be better off to
remain where she is, unless, Mr. Con
molly, YOU can show that Mr. Dunlap
is not of good character and sustain
the charge you have made. My pres
emit conviction, after a good deal OF
thought, Is that the Dunlaps should
have the child The one issue now re.
naming is as to the character OF Mr.
Dunlap
1T was finally decided to take testi-
mony before John T. Taylor as ref
cree on Monday, July y, as TO the
character OF Mr. Dunlap and the added
question as to how long the Dunlaps
have had the custody of the child.

TEA DRINKING IN ENGLAND.
Cups Were Small When Contents of
Twenty-Five Were Drunk Daily.

Cups Were Small When Contents of
Twenty-Five Were Drunk Daily.
That Great Britain stands at the
head of all the Kingdoms OF the earth
in it's consumption of tea, its record
standing at about six pounds a head
per annum, should surprise none who
has noted for himself the tea drink
ing w Of the inhabitants Of the
United Kingdom. English, Scotch,
Irish and Welsh-they all seem so in
d%issolubly welded to their cup of tea
that it requires a painful stretch of the
Imagination to picture a time when
they were tealeSs. Yet statistics show
that it is only within the last $50 years
or so that Englishmen have been tea
drinkers-that is to say, only a matter
of some eight generations since the
fragrant beverage was first known to
them. Before that ale vas the popu-
lar drink. The tea drinking habit, it
is interesting to note, brought in its
train a long list of innovations-the
teacup, for instance, seems to have
been much smaller than that of to-day.
Otherwise the feats OF the famous tea
bibbers of literature-Bishop Burnet,
with his twenty-five cups in a morn
ing, and the monumental DR.. johnson,
who said of himself that be was "a
hardened and shameless tea drinker,"
whose kettle "had hardly time to COOL"
would nave been impossible. 1t seems
to have been a common custom in the
early part of the eighteenth century to
drink tea three or four times n day
and ten or twelve cups at a sitting, a
practice which would have been ac-
companied by an inconyenient degree
of personal tension If the cups had
been as large DIS they are now. The
infusion, too, was much weaker than
is palatable to modern taste. Tea
spoons had to be invented as well as
teacups. and were at first made with
perforated bowls and long, pointed
stems, and at one time cups were num-
bered. to insure each member of a tea
drinking party getting back his own
cup each time the e was renewed

! A MINE


81 LII John Carstairs' money was
! /A\ made from mines, and was still
SS coming out Of mines in n golden
stream. From "Old Johns point of
view this was a very pleasant fact. in
deed. Mrs. Carstairs was enabled to
shine in all the brilliance of New York
seasons and Newport Incidence.
But Frances, embellished with all
that Partisan costumes and the skill of
French maids could possibly add to the
beauty of her graceful! figure, and the
witcher- of her wavy brown hair and
deep brown eyes. had grave doubts rs
TO the unalloyed d~esirability OF this
wealth. For there was Dick to be con
sidered.
Dick was not rich: not exactly poor,
but certainly not rich. And when one
is wealthy and beautiful and 81. and
when ones mother thinks it is time to
consider ones marriage, and so many
youths with all the necessary bank
notes and bonds have expressed their
alteration and been refused: II all
this with the result that ones mother
is becoming impatient, while Dick is
the only one that will suit but is not
rich: naturally the problem assume Sc
rious proportions.
OF course, Dick was also a doubter.
To keep himself at all cheerful he had
day dreams of becoming suddenly
wealthy and boldly demanding Frances
hand from "Old John" Frances. from
a comfortable and becoming position on
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-10-26

Dicks shoulder, would agree that such
an event would be perfectly lovely"
"But how are you going to make it
happen, Dick, dear?"
Now that was just what Dick didn't
know himself.
Then came a time when Mrs. Car
stairs coming softly into Frances room
at nirht introduced another factor into
an already perplexing problem.
Frances, dear, it is time you were
thinking Of marrying and having a
home of your own"
II suppose so, mother"
"Now, Of course, Frances, I can optic
understand all this foolishness and SEN
timent about Dick Leigh. 1t is all very
we'll for a young girl just out of school,
but when a girl comes to your age,
Frances, she must look at things sens
IDLY" :.
Mrs. Carstairs continued: II will
admit Dick is a very fine young man,
ard I have no doubt would make a
model husband. But my dear, he has
so money and Is never likely to Lave.
You must forget all about this boy-ani-
girl affair. Several young men of ad.
mirable character and with the neces-
sary means to make you happy have
spoken to your father, and we expect
you to make a choice before long"
Eyes, mother" almost inaudibly
from the cushions.
The developments in the case
having been t%earfully reported to Dick,
that young man was more perplexed
than ever, bit could offer no advice ex-
cept to wait for a while. The wait
ing lasted for nearly three months,
until Mrs. Carstairs announced to
Frances that her hand had been prom
lsed to Mr.. Wyndham, whose money
was also obtained from mines.
"My dear, it is now March, and since
Mr.. Wyndham as well as your father
and / would like you to be married
quietly at your country house l have
Fixed the date for September"
After a short pause she continued:
"Now, Frances, 1 have given Dick
Leigh to understand that you are en-
gagged to Mr.. Wyndham and are to be
married in September, and he has, I be,
lieye, left the city for the west this
morning. I expect, Frances, to hear
nothing more about this old love affair.
If 1 do you will regret it"
She swept out with the full CONSCIOUS.
ness and pride Of victory. But as she
departed Frances maid now came with
a letter from Dick. Shorn of endear.
ing epithets and caressing phrases. the
letter said that he was off to the west
the land Of mines, and was determined
that "a mine will soon be mine, and
then you shall be mine again. Always
and forever thine. Dick"
Frances spent an hour in reading
those portions of the letter which We
have omitted, and then plunged into the
delights of shopping with her mother
for Dick would find his mine and sht
| might as well prepare for the wedding
now, and while her mother shoppet
with Mr.. Wyndham in mind, she coult
feel 1t vas for Dick.
