TRAINED NURSE ACCUSED
OF ROBBlNG DEAD WOMAN
Relatives Charge Miss Leonard Took
S6,1S7 Worth of Property, Believ-
ing II Wouldn't Be Missed.

Boston, Feb. 81. Amelia n. Leonard

Miss Leonard attended Miss Lockwood
in her last illness as nurse, and it is
alleged took a large quantity OF Miss
Lockwood's effects after her death in the
hope that no one would know the diff.
ference. The effects were missed by
relatives, however, and were, it Il
charged, traced to the nurse. The stol-
en- articles include diamond and ruby
ring valued at $1,000; a diamond ring
valued at $1,000; gun metal watch
with imported movements, valued at
$500; gun metal pendant set with
jewels, valued at 81 500; q gun metal
watch valued at $40, and seventy-fve
yards of lace worth $3.50 yard. Some
Of the articles have already been re-
covered, and it is expected that more
soon will be brought to light.

Some Vegetable surprises

Do you know the changes You car
make by preparing the stock vegetables
in unusual ways and by the use of those
which come to us in tins2

How do YOU cook them? Do you open
the can half an hour or more before
they art needed, empty contents into
bowl or dish and let them get rid OF
the close taste before YOU put them
over the fret Do you drain off the
liquor which surrounded the peas in the
can and put fresh water with them with
pinch of soda and half teaspoonful
of sugar. Do YOU pour this of when
they are hot through. dress them with
butter salt and pepper and then serve
them in a well-heated vegetable dish 2
II not, try them prepared in this fashion

Don't satisfy yourself with having

II not, have them now and see if there is

instead of stewing them, or cook them
with corn on with macaroni, Serve your
asparagus creamed, or in shells made of
rolls with the crumb scooped out, crisped
little in the oven and then filled with
the asparagus served in a well-seasoned
white sauce. See what you can do with
canned spinach. Until you have used it,
you will not know how good it is. When
it is properly prepared, it cannot be
distinguished in flavor from the fresh
greens, and the same is true of canned
young beets. They may be served with
butter and vinegar, or with cream
sauce, and are excellent in whatever way
they are cooked.
But it is not essential to rely wholly
on canned vegetables, excellent as they
may be- Even without their help, the
bin Of fare need not be monotonous so
far as vegetables are concerned. See
how many different ways there are Of
cooking the old standbys in the way of
winter vegetables.
How do you serve onions, for exam
pie? Boiled plain or with milk, or per-
haps fried? DO you ever have them
baked or scalloped or with custard?
Do you serve rice plain, or in croquettes
or with tomato, or a savory gravy, or
as Spanish rice, or nodded? Do you give
your family scalloped cabbages and
baked plain or with tomato sauce, or
with cheese, or fricasseed? Do YOU have
stewed and fried celery as we'll as the

different methods of cooking hominy and
macaroni instead of contenting yourself
with one way all the time? Finally, do
you make plain boiled or mashed pota-

in the innumerable ways of cooking
sweet and white potatoes in order to
achieve the variety you crave?-Ex-

when the liner locked at Hoboken yes
terday afternoon, and the police of Ho-
boken and New York are working on
the case. Mrs. Drummond hurried to
the hotel Plaza, declining to discuss her
loss, The Hamburg American line dis
claims all responsibility, on the ground
that passengers leave jewels in their
staterooms at the owners risk. To the
police, Mrs Drummond described the
missing jewels as follows;-
Two strings of pearls of 213 pearls
each,
One string of 2s3 pearls
One large black pearl ring set with
diamonds.
One large white pearl ring set with
diamonds,
One pair large pearl earrings set with
diamonds.
One black pearl brooch set with dia-
monds, with black pearl, pea-shaped
pendant
A wireless message sent from the
Amerika as she neared port summoned
detectives down the bay in a tug They
learned from Mrs Drummond details of
the loss and began combing OF the
ship and a search of the crew, but not a
trace of the Jewels was found
Mrs. Drummond explained that except
at night she had worn the jewels almost
constantly. but had kept them under
her waist and had not displayed them
at any time, even while dining Satur-
day night on retiring she placed them
in a cabinet drawer of the stateroom,
as she had done each night during the
voyage. No one had access to the state

even though in the absence Of q political

It is an encouraging sign for a news
paper of the standing Of the Free Press
to declare that mans political party
may not be able TO save him even though
he secure the party nomination. No
conditions have been made by the Free
Press that would be harmful for the
state and we hope il is true that the
people are more concerned in securing

anything else. If the Free Press is cor

are on the verge of better things. st.

And corporations and their tricks,
Upon the men who deal in stocks

And much condemned her for her rat
He told her what she ought to wear.
He blamed her choice OF Sunday hat
He then discussed the price Of wheat,
How much 10 live il costs each man
And ere he finished, prophesied,

The Delaware & Hudson company Is

The people Of Burlington can not get
what is their right in this direction until
they strike for it, and the sooner they
make their voices heard in this direction
the more speedy will be their relief, for
plainly railroad competition does not

industries 10 locate their principal works
or branches in this city we should not
overlook the fact that some of our most
successful and best paying projects in
this direction have been developed right
In our own midst, one Of the most note
worthy Of these being the Burlington
Venetian Blind company. There are Just
as favorable openings remaining in our
city, and we believe if our organizations
would devote some Of the attention di-
rected 70 outside capital to the interest

possibilities. it would prove fruitful.
Here is what the Bennington Banner
has TO say with reference to a new in
dustry developed in its town;
1--WE hear at various times great
deal about bringing in new industries
TO make the town more prosperous but
the fact remains that the most success
ful way to build up town is to develop
the possibilities within the town itself
The Banner has no doubt that there are
in Bennington young men and men OF
middle age educated in our varied in
dustries who if given encouragement and
backed to a moderate extent By money
and influence could start in bus ness for
themselves and make a success OF
course not all would succeed but occa-
sionally one would develop to an excep-
tional degree and the whole town would

The Legislature.

The legislature OF 1910 seems TO have
been Of about the average standard. II
was made up for the most part of good
men Of fair ability, the majority Of
whom had never had any experience in
the work entrusted to them. They re-
quired time to get acquainted with each
other and with the Job.
The members had to 90 through the
usual social functions of the first two
or three weeks OF the session and it
was pretty hard to settle down TO bus
mess; in fact the unresisted tempta
ton to 90 home every week was large
factor to prolonging the legislative ses-
sion, But all this was not peculiar to
the legislature Of 1910.
The criticisms Of the legislature are
also OF the varying order. The mem
bers, or many of them of course feel
bound to defend the work of the ses-
sion, while citizens generally are not
inclined 70 be enthusiastic over the re-
suits accomplished. Press criticisms vary
from the severe statement Of the Bur
lington News that it was The most in
efficient, extrayagant, wasteful legisla-
ture within living memory" to mild
praise and thankfulness for some Of the
things it accomplished and many OF the
things il refused to do.
The News believes, as stated above,
that its work measures up to about the
usual standard The fact is, Vermont
will never have satisfactory legislative
machinery in its systems of choosing
that body and different arrangement
Of things after the members get to-
gether Il is up to the voters to effeet
this change, in part at least by taking
a much more active interest in the at.
fairs Of ideal and state government.
