A Child on "Birds.o

Mrs. Mabel Osgood Wright, author of
"The Garden Of Commuters Wife"
telling in the October Suburban Life how
to attract birds to ones garden, quotes a
little girls school composition as an in
stance of common misapprehension
concerning the food of birds. It reads:
Birds are small sort of chickens that
live in little dolls houses set on a pole,
and eat crumbs if anybody gives them
some. i don't know what becomes Of
them in winter, but | guess lots die,
The happiest bird is canary when its
folks are good to it, and the cat can't
get up stairs, which it mostly does.
But this bird lives in a cage, with a
cloth at the bottom TO keep him from
splitting seed, and one on top so that he
won't sing down the company when they
talk. ! am glad that I'm not bird, be-
cause the. most I'm kept in is Wednes-
day afternoon for spilling ink. Wednes-
day is writing day."

"Alma, Where Do You Liver"

Joe Weber, man who has engineered
many plays OF farcial situations to a
successful production viii present at the
Barre opera house on Thursday, Oct. 5,
for an engagement Of one night, "Alma
Where DO You Liver by George " Ho-
bart from the German of Paul Herye
and Jean Briquet
The play is described as a French
vaudeville, which is the only descrip.
tive phrase which MIR Weber could hit
upon as it is not musical comedy, a
farce comedy, farce with music or
a comic opera. Yet it has all the char
acteristics and popular features of all
lot these, In adapting the farce and in
composing the fourteen lyrics, Mr.. Ho-
bart has eliminated all the Objectionable
features Of the play, retaining only
enough of the story to build the series
OF farcical complications which gave the
piece its vogue in a run of fourteen
months in Mr. Weber's theatre in New
York. Alma is fascinating milliner,
who lures an unsophisticated young man
to propose to her in order to make him
lose fortune Of four million francs
that has been left to him with the pro-
vision that he does not make love TO
woman or propose to her up 20 a GER
tain date. But she falls in love with
Pierre, saves his fortune and finally mar
ries him.

NEW TROLLEY LINE OPENED.
Connecting Fair Haven and Poultney and
Rutland.

Rutland, Oct. 3.--The first regular
traffic over the trolley line Of the Rut
land Railway. Light and Power com
pany from Fair Haven to Poultney,
which began yesterday morning, marks
an important step not only in the de-
velopment by the company of one. Of its
big resources, with an incidental ex-
penditure of sum approximating in
round figures nearly $4,000, but it also
establishes trolley service which, be-
sides providing a convenient mode of
travel for passengers from the section
along the new road, opens to nearly
score of quarries and mills. between
Fair Haven and the terminus of the
line freight service for the shipping
OF products which greatly facilitates the
carrying on of their business.
At $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning
service was started over the new line
from Fair Haven, EARS making the round
trip every hour aud 10 minutes so as to
connect with all cars from the Rutland
line into Fair Haven. This schedule
will be continued until the completion
Of the underpass at Fair Haven, around
which passengers are now transferred,
probably in about three weeks. Then
the entire schedule of the road will
be changed, ears leaving Rutland, going
west, every IS minutes and cars leay-
ing Poultney for the east every 45 min
utes The fare over the new extension
is Is cents.
This extension, for which the sur
vey was made in December, 1909 and
January. 1910, is seven miles in length,
making the total trackage Of the com
pany - miles, and the actual work be-
gan on the road in September, 1910.
1t has cost, with equipment, about
$4,000. the actual cost per mile of
road bed completed being about $4,000.
The road will be operated by the sub
station at Castleton. which is connected
by a 10000 c. nj. feeder which taps
the trolley at the Blissyille road and
the sub-station at Poultney, in which
has recently been installed a $50 k. W.
rotary converter required some $4,000
or about 40 car loads Of ties placed q
inches from center TO center and $50
tons of rails, these weighing 20 pounds
to the yard in 60 feet lengths, except
III the villages Of Fair Haven and Poult-
ney, where rails weighing so pounds to
the yard and seven inches high were
used to facilitate paving.
The entire track is ballasted with
gravel and the curves and grades on the
lines are built in such a manner that
the road is practically the same as the
average steam railroad and is suited
to steam traffic.
