penny IN TIE SLOT"
Customer ns Usual PAYS the Tax on
Telephone Messages.

Speaking Monday of the federal rev
enue tax of one cent on all telephone mes
saEes costing Is cents and over. which
went into effect Tuesday, Manager Rus
sell of the Telephone company said
'The preparation for the collection of
the one-cent tax has been big JOB Tor
the Telephone company. 1t Involves IN
structions to the operators for the collec-
ton of this tax at public pay stations and
making of special preparations for BILL
ing subscribers.
The law requires the Telephone COM
pany to collect this tax, IN addition to the
regular charge for the message. Motif
cation of this new tax Is being sent out
with the bills to all subscrib ers, and other
notices have been placed near all public
telephones.
The new law applies not only to all
messages on which the initial rate is 10
cents or more per message, but also to all
messages on which the total charge for a
single conversation, including overtime,
amounts to 10 cents or more. Thus, while
call at the initial rate Of five cents or
ten cents bears no tax, should the CONVEX
sation be prolonged over the period which
would make the aggregate charge Is cents
or more. the tax of one cent is imposed.
"A subscriber making a toll call from
any of the automatic pay stations will be
asked by the operator to please drop one
cent federal tax in the '25-cent slot When
the penny drops, it will be heard by the
operator"

RURAL SANITATION.
state Board of Health Makes Plea for
Better Conditions.

The December number of the State
board of health quarterly bulletin Is de-
voted largely to rural sanitation. This
bulletin" says the editor, is sent out at
this time In the hope that It may slim
ulate an effort to improve conditions in
rural districts during the winter. The
cold season of the year Is the difficult
time for those who would be clean in
their surroundings and methods. Dirty
milk Is very common in winter. but
proper care can keep it clean. Accumu-
lations of filth are almost Inevitable I'M
less an extra effort is made to prevent
them.
Systematic work, everlastingly keep
ing at it, Is necessary In order to keep
our State In a sanitary condition, but the
lessening of disease and death. and the
additional comfort is worth the small
trouble involved"
Although the articles are directed main
ly toward the country, city people will
find much of interest and instruction in
this bulletin. There are papers on 1.-THE

LEGISLATIVE SPECIAL
May Run to Accommodate Members
from Southwestern Vermont,

On account of the interest taken by
members Of the Legislature and others
who visit the capital during the sessions
OF the Legislature, S. s. Russell, super
intendent Of the northern division Of the
Central Vermont, was asked when in
Montpelier last week If the Legisla tive
Special would be run during the coming
session, says the Rutland Herald
He stated that this matter had been
taken up by General Passenger Agent
Hanley with the Rutland railroad to see
as to the matter of connections, and
there was hope that If the connections
can be arranged that the train would
be run. Connections mean trains waiting
for each other in both directions at
Burlington.
The train in past years arrived at
Montpelier about 2:30 o'clock and left
later in the afternoon in time to meet
connections at Burlington over the Rut-
land railroad. The operation of such a
train would permit representatives In
bennington, Rutland and Addison coun-
ties leaving their home at a reasonable
hour In the forenoon and reaching Mont
pelier 2:30 O'Clock and allow them to get
home the same way at the end Of the
week, without any dependence or

BELL IN JAIL.
Charged with the Theft of Property In
ShelburnN,

Walter Bell, a colorod man, was placed
under arrest at the Woolworth store by
Sheriff Allen Tuesday morning on the
charge of having stolen a horse, wagon,
harness and big crate OF chickens. His
offense was committed the night before,
and 1t must have taken the entire night to
have completed the operations as the
stolen property was taken in Shelburne
and brought to this city, where the chick
ems we're sold. The horse and wagon were
found and restored to their owner.
About one o'clock Tuesday morning
George Eddy of Shelburne was awakened
by a noise outside and he saw horse
and wagon leaving his yard. He sup
posed that the driver was some intoxicnt-
ed man a little off his reckoning and
thought no more of the incident. When
he went to his stable at daylight he
found. however, that It was his own horse
and wagon that left his yard. He imme-
dately notified Sheriff Allen and came
to this city. The sheriff and the police
did some investigating and finally ascer-
tanned that man had sold a quantity of
chickens to man named Gardner on In
terval avenue. description of the fell
low was obtained and more searchin 9
was done. While the sheriff was talking
with Mr. Eddy on Church street about
eleven o'clock he saw a man who tailed
with the description he had obtained. He
was lost sight Of for a time among the
people in the street and he turned into A
doorway but the sheriff followed him up
and found him at the ten cent store He
then placed him under arrest. Bell made
no particular denial of the theft. When
he was searched he had between one and
two dollars on his person. He claimed,
however. that he had been in possessio \
Of $50 or $50 the night before but he had
no notion as to what had become of 1t.
Meantime a horse and wagon had been
found on the lower road and was reported
to the police Office by officer Fraser, This
proved to be the rig stolen from the Eddy
place. 1t was also learned later that the
hens were stolen from the home of n
man named Roberts in Shelburne. They
were sold, with the exception Of q rooster,
to Harry Gardner Of 1879 Interval avenue.
The fowls were nicely Grated up, weigh
ed l29 pounds and We're sold at 10 cents a
pound, which made a total Of $3.50 paid
by Gardner. Bell told the latter that he
had farm near Essex Center and could
He said also that he had three horses.
Subsequent events proved that Bell had
sold a rooster to another man.
Bell has been in Burlington only two
days, having worked at various places In
the vicinity the last summer. satchei
belonging to him was found at arber
shop on Battery street Tuesday after.
noon. He has been In the tolls before.
About four years ago he was arrested on
the charge Of having entered and robbed
the residence of Sylvester Sails on Spear
street in South Burlington For that Of
| tense he did time in States prison.
, The offense of chicken stealing has
grown enormously of late, thefts from va
rious towns in the county being reported
to the officers, but only a few culprits
have been brought to justice.
