The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the WORD
dyspepsia means literally bad cook,
1t will not be fair for many to lay
tie blame on the cook If they begin
the Christmas dinner with little APP
petite and end 1t with distress or
nausea. 1t may not be fair for any
to do that-let US hope so for the
sake Of the cook! The disease dys-
pepsia indicates bad stomach,
that is weak stomach, rather than
a bad cook, and for weak stomach
there is nothing else equal to Hoods
Sarsaparilia. It gives the stomach
vigor and tone, cures dyspepsia,
creates appetite, and makes eating
the pleasure It should be.

HORSES RAN INTO TRAIN.
Were Not Much Injured but Driver
Had Rib Broken.

One Of the most sensational runa ways
which ever occurred in this city took
place yesterday afternoon, when the Hotel
Vermont bus was on the way to meet
the afternoon trains F. F. Tucker was
at least one rib broken while other things
happened so rapidly that 1t is difficult
to describe them accurately.
The bus which luckily had no pas
sengers in 1t, was just below Battery
street on Lake street when one of the
horses. which had been extremely quiet
suddenly sprang into the air and came
back with one le,- over the pole. In
striking the ground, one of the shoes hit
the other horse and that started the rum
away. F. F. Tucker owner of the horses
and driver. did all that he could to rein
the animals in but was himself thrown
into pile Of laths so that he was buried
from sight before many yards had been
covered. The horses about the same time
left the bus behind and did not stop in
their career until they ran full speed into
the south-bound milk train. The ONLY
reason that both We're not killed is that
one was knocked senseless and drew the
other with him out of harms way
The bus can probably be repaired at a
cost of $50 or $40 and the horses do not
seem to be seriously injured One is cut
badly about the head and both are
suffering from deep wounds about the
legs and body. Mr.. Tucker sustained at
least one broken rib. IN addition to a num-
Der of cuts.

dray, and hurled 20 feet through the air
the five years old daughter of Emile
Thile of 30 King street landed on the
lawn of the Burlington public library
late yesterday afternoon, escaping in n
marvellous manner without apparent Sc

the broken shaft, which had dropped to
the ground, struck the curbing, a gen

Onlookers and the crowd that had fol-

the little girl thrown high into the air.
The floor of the dray was about four
feet from the ground and the seat was
elevated fully three feet higher. 1t was
there that the child lay and when the
shock came she was hurled fully six feet

LADIES' DAY IN COURT.
Three In for Liquor Disclosures and
One for Naughty Conduct.

Yesterday morning was given up to the
ladies in city court, and in pursuance of
the policy to make old offenders disclose
as to where they obtained their liquor,
three women were brought in to disclose
The stories had more of a sembance of
the truth than the legends which are US
tally told there, and Judge Palmer made
IL plain that If the stories are not borne
out by the truth, charges of perjury
will follow.
The first person brought in was Katie
Mccain. She disclosed on soldier
named Joseph IiansburFh, who she said,
was stationed at Plattsburgh He is ac-
Customcd to come over from time to time
and pay her visits. on the day of her
arrest, he purchased two cases of beer
and she got full. The authorities will
look up the matter and ascertain wheth-
er or not the truth was told.
As soon as Katie left, Agnes Bissette-
Prown whose husband Is I'm Waterbury.
for attempting to kill his father-in-law,
came in to tell where she got the LIQUOR
to get drunk on Sunday night She said
that the people upstairs gave 1t to her
and she seemed to enjoy making the dis
closure for they were the people with
whom she was fighting when arrested.
Mrs. Emily Hathaway wound UP tho
disclosures with commonplace story.
She and her husband went wal,ing Sun
day afternoon and he gave a stranger SO
cents to get pint of liquor The stran-
Ger went to some place In the neighbor-
hood and returned later The party
spoiled the liquor down on the lake
shore and later both she and her hus-
band We're placed In Jail.
The only other case before the court
was that OF Margaret Lozelle who was
charged with open and gross lewdness,

YARDS MAY BE MOVED.
Railroad Needs Land Now Occu pieIl BY
Shepard 4 Morse Lumber Company.

That the yards Of the Shepard & Morse
Lumber company extending from Main
to College streets. east of the Rutland
railroad track. will be moved soon to the
companys property bordering the cove"
off lower Pine street, was the opinion ex-
PRESSED yesterday by +. w. Parkhll,
manager OF the lumber concern.
The Rutland Railroad company is now
although no agreement or sale has been
made as yet. The railroad company
wants the land for trackage purposes
and If 1t builds the proposed union sta
tion for which it has submitted plans to
the local committee of fifteen, the owner
ship of this land will be a necessity.
I'VE have been negotiating with the
railroad company as to the sale Of the
land for long time" said Manager
Tarkhill, but as yet nothing has been
done. If the land is sold We should re-
move the lumber yards to our property
bordering the cove"
Mr.. Parkhll admitted that in his opin-
ION the purchase of this land by the rail-
road company would take place ulti-
rlately If not in the immediate future
The removal of the yards to the"covc,"
Mr.. Parkhill said, would handicap the
lumber company to a certain extent. 1t
would cost more for carting. as lumber
would then have to be transported all
the way from the cove" to the mill at
the foot OF Main street The extending
of a main track along Lake street as pro-
posed by tho Rutland railrod, would not
disturb his company, Mr.. Parkhil said.
If the tariff is removed entirely from
dressed lumber at the next Congress, Mr.
parkhill added. his company would need
neither mill nor yards in burlington. If
the tariff should be removed the lumber
could he dressed in Canada and shipped
direct from there to the markets in this
country. I'VE are now figuring on the
tariff he said, land the possibilities of
a democratic administration following the
next election. This, of course. retards
us from making definite plans for the
present"
