The Hills of Old Vermont.

The "native' hills of old Vermont
Are bout as good as hills can be;
They kindly met my opening eyes,
l hope they Il be the last l see;
When folks get back from round the
world
They sorter fill a long-felt want
There S nothing neater on the map
Than these old hills of old Vermont.
They say Vermont if rolled out fiat
Would equal Illinois in size;
But primaries then would cost so much
The rich might win and not the wise !;
Our marble, too, would be soft coal
A thing the Proctors wouldn t want
l think we d better let them stand,
The solid hills of old Vermont.
They amt too green, they amt too
gray,
They amt too high or dry or small;
They re awful pretty in the Spring,
But prettier in the fiery Fall;
And they re so smooth that you can
farm
Clear up to snow-line, if you want,
Which ism t true of any hills
In any place except Vermont.
If this was some big, level state,
We get the bitter with the sweet,
For Henry Ford might live in town,
Or Dowie s son acrost the street;
We d have no gum, we d have no tale
The high school girls would come L
| want
! We better leave them as they be
| The useful hills of old Vermont.
The man that doesn t like these hills
Must be tremendous hard to please,
Or have a case of what Fred Wells
Would call the Enosburg disease;
Jest dub me chill dog if you will
Use any nicking name you want
But m in hopes my eyes may close
Amidst the hills of old Vermont.

the soft, ingratiating conquest of this

could easily be provided through ar
rangements with parents or nearby
farmers and is particularly useful to
children In warm weather when 1t is
impracticabIe for them to bring
bottles of milk in their baskets.
In number of city schools the
pupils are provided with trays and
help them selves to foods placed on a
| counter. At the end of the meal they
return the trays and dishes and thus
reduce the amount Of help required.
In some large cities trained super

public school lunch rooms. In other
schools the preparation Of lunch is
made practical exercise for classes
in cooking and domestic science.
1t is in the small country schools
with only one teacher, however, that
the midday meal presents the most
difficul problems. Only a teacher
with ingenuity and enthusiasm for
her work can carry out the plan, and
even with such a. teacher the active
cooperation Of parents is highly i'm
portant.
The simplest equipment Includes a
large kettle, measuring cup and
spoons, pairing knife, mixing spoon,
dish pans, and towels. The pupils
should be willing to bring plates,
cups, bowls, and spoons from home
The boys and girls can easily make
curtained shelves for the utensils. A
freless cooker, which permits the
preparation Of meat stews, meat and
bean soups, and cereal mushes, can
easily be made by the pupils as a
class exercise. -5
The older girls, taking turns In
groups, commonly prepare the special

necessary to serve it on the children's

WASHINGTON, D. c., March a.
In the belief that hot dish at noon,
if only bowl OF milk. soup or a cup
of good cocoa, is highly important to
school children. many schools
throughout the country are either sup
plying regular hot luncheon to
school children, or are providing a
single hot dish with which the chill
dren coming from distance can sup

baskets. In most cases the children
bring money with them and buy the
dishes at cost price. Those in charge

ing the accident. From the maze of
ed broadcast yesterday afternoon
some CT the more prominent facts oil
the accident are now slowly coming
to light.
After an Investigation yesterday
Acting Coroner James Burrows was
unable to find one eye witness to the
tragedy, although there are several
who were on the spot a few minutes
later. It is now believed that he was
struck by the train without knowing
Of its approach, for # It was his inten-
ton to try and catch it, he would not
have been in front OF it.
Engineer Reynolds blew his whistle,
expecting that Pike would step Off the
track. When it was seen that he was
not going to do this, the engineer put
on the breaks but it was too late. 1t
is said the engine and several cars
passed over the body before the train
could be brought to a stop. Engineer
REYNOLDS, C. o. Star, a travelling man,
and the conductor and brakeman got
off the train and took the body from
under tho wheels and laid 1t by the
side Of the road. After that the
train proceeded to the station.
The tragedy is the third Of its kind
in the past six months. On October
q, J. H Riley, of Hannibal, a brake
man. was run over by a train In the
yards to tho south OF town, and on
November II, Russell B. Hunter was
killed by train near the bridge.

BAIL SKIPPER CAUGHT.

Charles Fuller, former proprietor
of the Northwest Hotel in this city
who jumped his bonds about April &c
last, after having been bound over to
county court upon the charge of "keep-
ing and maintaining common nuis-
ance,' has been located in Great Falls
Mont, and is now under arrest and
being held pending the arrival Of the
Ward county sheriff, who left fol-
Great Falls Tuesday with warrant
charging the defendant with more
serious crime.
This catch reflects great credit upon
our chief of police, Dan Dougherty
for when the man Fuller skipped his
bail last April it was known that he
started east but the police were un-
able to intercept him. However
Dougherty never gave up the chase
and has been continually tracing him
until at last he located his man in
Great Falls and caused him to be ar
rested there by the police, when his
work ended and he turned the warrant
over to Sheriff Nedreloe, who dis
patched his deputy to bring the man
back.

Coffee With Milk.

For many years after coffee was first
drunk in Europe, says the Manchester
Guardian, no one thought of mixing 1t
with milk any more than the Turks
and Arabs do now. The use Of coffee
au lait seems to date from 1857. Nine.

that year, said that doctor much In

milk with our coffee. They make a

to wondering whether the faded little
spinster, after having for sixty-three
years pinched and scraped and plain
