HOW TO MAKE
A CHOCOLATE ECLAIR

To make a chocolate eclair, you
must first 90 to a large swamp where
eclair-birds are known to abound, and
set traps, and Turk in waiting until
you have caught eight or ten. With
the birds thus captured you return
home and start an eclair-bird aviary.
For a successful and edible chocolate
eclair, it is absolutely Imperative to
have the choicest eclair-bird eggs, and
the surest way of securing these is to
raise them yourself.
For a family of five, the following
recipe may be followed: Select twenty
large eclair eggs, and crack them with
a nut-cracker. Beat them cruelty for
half an hour, until they vince with
pain.
Add -four and baking powder. Put
in all the baking-Powder you have. If
you have any milk, put that in. If
you haven't any milk, you had better
90 out and buy some and put that in
Milk is necessary.
Stir thoroughly. Don't think you
can get good results in a chocolate
eclair if you stir it specifically. Stil
its very emotions. Stir it to the depths
of its heart.
Then bake all afternoon.
This is the eelair part proper of tn,

must now be added Sheet chocolat,

charge that Burlington is behind Brat

famous sons the Burlington News says
the difference between the two com
munities is based on the fact that
Brattleboro has but one famous man

lation that individuals are more or
less neglected. And as for the de-
cadence Of the people of Burlington

ations, in the forefront of cities of

ONE BALLOT TRADITION.

We are indebted to the New York |
Sun for reminding us that it has been
twenty eight years since the Repub-
Leans have required more than one
ballot to nominate president or vice
president That is Il continuous record
long enough almost to establish ira
! dition. The last presidential candi-
date nominated after several ballots
was Benjamin Harrison, in lSSS. He
was named on the eighth ballot Tt
took but one ballot to select his run
ming mate, Levi P Morton. Harri-
son : denomination was on the first
ballot. The nominations of Mckinley
and Taft and the nomination of
Roosevelt were on the first ballot.
Harrison was low in the list in the
first ballot in 1883, Sherman being
against the field for six ballots. Sher-
man began with 229 votes. reaching
his high mark on the second with 249.
On the first ballot Gresham received
l07, Depew 90, Harrison s., Alger 81,
Allison y and Blaine 30. Depew
withdrew after the second ballot and
cablegrams from Blaine asking his
friends to- stop voting for him were
read before the sixth ballot. Before
the eighth ballot Allison s name was
withdrawn. The final ballot gave
Harrison 544, Sherman lis, AIger 1OC
and Gresham 50.
There can be no nomination on the
>, first ballot this year, unless some OF
the candidates withdraw, owing to the
number of delegates under primary
4 instructions. But it is not impossible

of the way, if they believe that g

Danger from Ruts.
(Rutland News.)

1t is easy to understand the auto
mobile accident Tuesday in the town
of Dummerston, wherein motor ear
driven at moderate rate of speed
went down an embankment following
an attempt of the man, at the wheel
to extricate his machine from ruts in
the road 1t is a wonder that more
accidents due to this very cause do
not occur. While the highways of
Vermont are being noticeably i'm
proved from year to year, at this sea
son particularly in a good many places
they are deeply rutted and need early
attention by the highway workmen
with road drag or a scraper. The
accident illustrates anew and forcibly
the advantage of early work il
smoothing the roadbed. This work is
very inexpensive for the most part
and there seems no good reason why
it should not be done.

Mosquitoes like to get little nibbles of |
People, just as you two Children like |
to get nibbles of peanuts and candy
and popcorn.
The Mosquitoes were wandering
around when they saw the Crickets
posting their invitations in blades of
grass in the Lawn right at the side of
the Piazza where they were going that
evening. They knew something was
up. And when the Crickets had gone
off again, didn't those inquisitive little
Mosquitoes go right to the Lawn Post
Office and look at the invitations
which the Crickets had left.
The Mosquitoes were just as mad
as they could be- They called the
Crickets horrid snobs, for they have
very mean dispositions.
Then one very cross and snappy
little Mosquito said:
Let's go to the Concert, whether
we are invited or not, and show those
Crickets that we don't think their
Concert is so fine that we have to be
invited to it. We will pretend that we
think it is a free concert
And when they got there, they
didn't act so the Crickets would feel
sorry that they hadn't invited them,
for they were so rude and so cranky
that they went around biting and twig-
ging at the ears and legs of all the lit
tie Creatures at the concert. OF course
they completely spoiled everything and
! the Crickets were beginning to feel
very sad when along came the Fairy
| Queen.
| "She waved her wand in the air and
| what should appear but lots and lots
! of big Spider Policemen, all dressed up
| in fine blue suits and gray suits. Get
to work, she called out to the Spider
Policemen, and didn't they go around
biting those bad little Mosquitoes un'
til they rushed away from the Concert
as fast as they could go!
1T taught them a good lesson, fo1
they never again went to a Concert
where they were not invited that was
given by the Crickets. For they soor
found out that the Fairy Queen is Z
real Friend of the Crickets.
| "And the Concert went on after thC
Mosquitoes had left, and the Spider
Policeman sang very fine marching
song, while some of them sang a sons
called Weaving the Web So the con
cert ended even better than they hat
hoped for in the very first place.

The umpire is a human target for
contnmely, scorn and pop bottles who
is seldom allowed to live out the al
Iotted years Of man except by mis-
take. Once in a while an umpire
will have his vocal chords paralyzed
h. an embittered pop bottle and be
forced to retire, in which event he
may live to a ripe old age, but few
instances of this kind are on record.
The usual fate Of the umpire is to
die in some lonely spot as the result
Of remorse over a rotten decision at
second base.
Umpires are chosen for their total
lack of personal beauty and willing
ness to die on the field of battle
rather than change a decision which
makes Jesse James, in his palmiest
days look like breaking into the
baby 5 bank. No umpire was ever
known to change decision until he
got out of the hospital, when he de
cided to 90 into something less
hazardous, like running a dynamite
drill or handling mules. After an
umpire has stood in front of the foul

the stock yards whistle sound like

grand opera magHates would seize a
few minor league umpircs and, afte@
rigging them up in plush pants and a
tin sword, turn them loose upon thu
stage, grand opera would be more
popular than it is. There would also
be u greater demand for reinforced
steel ceilings. Some umpires prefer
to talk on their fingers, like an elee
trio railway signal.
Every umpire is compelled to have
his eyes tested before being allowed
to imp. Despite this fact, people
who sit in the bleachers, two bloc ks
from the home plate. are always able
to recognize 4 strike quicker than
the umpire and express their dis
pleasure by hurting short. scalding
epithets in his direction. The pitchez
also has perfect eye. and after the

that the umpire ought to 90 to some

The city of Rutland has a fund of
something over $4,000 represented by
-" gifts from its liquor licensees.
This fund was created by an ingen-
ious circumvention of the law which
required that the entire proceeds from
licenses be turned into the state treas
ury, the city putting the license fees
at the minimum figure with an under
standing that the difference between
that amount and the usual rate be
paid into the city treasury. The state
attempted to prevent this but failed
in its suit, with the result that Rut-
land has a tidy sum which it is plan
ming to spend on its highways. You
