MONTPELIER
Snow Storm and Poor Connections
Handicapped the c. v. Trains.

In addition to the snow storm Of
! Monday, the trains between here and
Boston had other troubles, so they
were rather late. Reports from per
sons coming on the afternoon trains
were to the, effect that the fall of snow
was greater south of here. The New
England States Limited was nearly
| four hours late reaching Montpelier.
! But little of this was due to the Cen
trail Vermont railway, however, The
most of it was due to lateness of the
| train on the Boston & Maine railway.
! The train was from little before |
| o'clock in the morning until after 5
| o'clock in the afternoon running from
Manchester. N. H., to White River
Junction A little OF this lateness was
due to the pulling of draw bar on
the mail car south of Enfield, n. IL.
The car had to be pulled to Enfield and
set off. after which the train was
brought along. The mail car was later
attached to the rear end of the eve
ming mail train. When the Limited
got to Roxbury a little delay occurred
because the southbound milk train was
stalled and an extra engine had to he
used to pull the train Unto clear" in
the yard. The evening mail was about
an hour and a. half late. The south
bound trains were but little late. On
the Montpelier and Wells River rail
road the westbound morning mail was
about two hours late This caused the
eastbound afternoon mail to be en-
hour late while the westbound after
noon mail arrived about an hour late
The most OF this trouble was due TO
connections at Wells River.

The trolley service between Montpel-
Ter and Barre has been SO impaired this
winter that the clerical force of the
State House, who reside in Barre, are
trying to devise some method by which
they can get to this city in time to
90 to work regularly. as well as some
thing by which they can get back home
in the afternoon instead of the eve
ming. Some of the clerks have kept
record and it is surprising to see
how few times the cars have been on
time when they wanted to get either
to or from their work Some of them
have given up trying to come to Mont
pelier in the morning on the trollcys
and if the Central Vermont is late in
the afternoon, which is seldom, they
are able to get back home in time fer
supper. The old suburban service
would be greatly appreciated, they

notice where he was going until he saw
coming along the path ahead old MIR. Fox.
There was a clump of bushes near
and, with great deal of trouble, Mr..
Rooster managed to fly 10 the top. but he
saw ut once that this would not save
him, for Mr.. Fox could jump up and push
him off.
He had to think quickly, and he did i,
for before Mr.. Fox reached the bushes Mr.
Rooster had flown 10 the limb of trec
above and tapped his wings until he WAS
safe from the reach Of his enemy.
When Mr.. Fox saw he could not reach
Mr.. Rooster he was quite angry, but he
sat himsel down under the tree and began
to laugh.
What is it that pleases you so much?"
asked Mr.. Rooster, who, feeling safe, did
not mind little chat.
Il am thinking what \ good waiter

get very tired of sitting in that tree

Mr.. Rooster did not see anything very
funny about that, but he did not say so:
instead, he began to look about for way
to escape. and Tor the first time he noticed
that he was in a butternut tree and that
the nuts were very large ones.
" on should laugh ail the time, MIR.
Fox said Mr.. Rooster II have never
seen such beautiful teeth as yours ~
You should feel them" said Mr.
Fox. You have no idea how strong and
sharp they are, and, thinking he had
made very witty remark, Mr.. Fox threw
back his head and laughed heartily.
This gave MIR Rooster the very chance
for which he had planned. and before MIR
Fox closed his mouth he had dropped into

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Laura A. kirkman.
PArTIEs IN THE SUMMER MENU

In summer we do not need much pro-
tein as in winter, 50 the wise houeekceper
serves chiefly temptinely light and cool
salads during the warm weather, at least
at midday For digestive reasons, however
il is necessary TO serve some warm dishes,
| and this fact is the secret OF the patty's
popularity as a summer dish--it Is both
hot and light dish.
The housekeeper who has once learned
to make patty shells will list tho patty as
one of her greatest standhys. leftover
bits OF meat, fish, and vegetables may be
stretched" to form the main dish Of
another meal il patty shells are at hand.
The question, "What shall ] serve my
guest?" is never a puzzling one To the
woman who has become n master Of the
patty.
The following recipe for Puff Paste is a
good ono:
Puff Paste for Patty Shells.-2Is cups
pastry -four. 1s teaspoon salt, soant half
cup ice water, II cups butter. Sift the
flour and salt together and cut in the
butter with knife when the -four has
been poured onto the board. Now remove
the large Toured humps and form little
well in the heaped-up mealy flakes, pour
the ice water into this we'll, stirring il in
gently (the flour should be merely moist
ened, not wet.) Flour the mixture little,
then roll out to thickness of one-half
inch; dot over with half of the Toured
humps of butter which were removed, and
fold over one-half, pressing the edges to-
gether and rolling into long strip. Now
dot over with the other half of the reserved
lumps of Toured butter, folding the dough
double once more and rolling out to long
shape again. Flour slightly. fold in threes
and fours and chill for an hour in the re-
frigerator Then cut out rounds Of the
| chilled pastry d inch in thickness and
place these rounds in q pan lined with
brown paper Rub the edges Of each round
with cold water From the remaining
pastry cut as many rounds as there are
in the pan (the exact si,e) and with n
small circular cutter take out disc in the
centre OF each Of these rounds; this will
make ring of each of these new rounds
and the distance from edge To centre of
each ring should be "a inch. Place one
ring lightly on each of the rounds in the
pan, brushing the ring lightly with ice
water. Cover the pan with paper and
bake about 30 minutes IN modera
oven, removing the paper covering OF the
pan toward the end of the baking. Higher
patty shells are made by putting two OF
the pastry rings on one OF the pastry
rounds.
