MUCH BOOTY FOUND. Jolrc lloiin'ded I'p Otn Stone, lle lleveil lo lie 11 Ilnrclnr. Tho Burlington police department did a very creditable piece of work Tuesday. A man giving his name as Otto Stone, his age as K years, nnd his placo of resi dence as Rutland, was rounded up at 1:30 In the afternoon In a house nt the corner ot King and C'hamplaln streets. He Is undoubtedly the person responsible for the many potty burglaries lately perpe trated In Burlington. On his per.von and about his room was found a little of everything. He did not have any white elephants, grand pianos or airships, but he had some of almost everything else. Among the articles found In his posses sion were a lady's gold watch, Identified as that of Mrs. T. I'. Clay of Maple street; a lady's gold watch, Identified as having been stolen from the resilience nf N. K. Urown on South Wlnooskl avenue; a gentleman's silver watch, a lady's gold "Beth Thomas" watch, 11 gold watch chain with secret roolety charm, Roston Maine mileage containing 24 miles, In cash, new Griffon razor, two pairs of glasses, secret society watch charm, cuff links, Central Vermont mileage con taining 192 mlle, and a great number of small articles of little value. Stono had In his pocket a note book In which was written the following list of towns: Healdvllle, Summit, Mt. Holly, Rast Walllngford, Cuttlngsvllle. Hur lingtnn. It seems likely that the list In dicates the towns that Stone has worked. SEPTEMBER COURT. tiranil and Pell! Jurors Drawn Vci Icrdajr for llin Net Term.

To avoid an nccldcnt. tho Great Western was driven Into the side of the bridge. The rlnht front vhee! wns de molished nnd the car was obliged to go to a garage for repairs.

When Father Drouhln tlrst entered upon his duties at Woodstock there wus a debt of fi,400 hanging over tho parish. Besides paying this dobt ho built n now stone church when the old ono was destroyed by lire ami pur chased a new parochial reMdenee. Ho also equipped the church with an S1.S00 organ.

"Nlco pushy," said the man. Tho cat purred ond they becaino fast friends. As tho seconds ticked on tho man became tnoro nnd morn enamored of the cat.

The man had nn Inspiration and with many chuckles he put the cat In the flour barrel nnd set a stone Jug on the cover. The milk bottle proved peculiarly elusive and the man beenmo tired. He nearly went to sleep leaning on tho refrigerator, forgot about the cat, and decided to go to bed. In the morning tho mold, a woman of mature years nnd little imagination, found a Jug on the flour barrel. She know she didn't leave It there nnd something prompted her to look Into the barrel. She removed the cover and peered In. A white npparltlnn, with two burning eyes of greenish fire, rose up and struck the mnld In the breast. She screamed to high heaven for help while the apparition scuttled over pans npd palls and mado a wild exit from the front of the house, leaving a trail ot flour behind. The man Is still trying to explain to his wife that ho only took one glass of wine and never could tolerate catr The maid may leave nt any time. EARLY MORNING ARREST.

PRDYHTIVE COURTS. lion- Justice wan Administered In Rude Surrounding. (From Case and Comment.) In the days of 'which I write the judi cial system, like the country, was In its Infancy. Tho circuit court was com posed of a president Judge, elected by the Legislature, nnd who prcMdcd at all the courts !n the circuit, and two associate Judge'!, elected In each county by the people. Tho president Judqu wns always a lawyer of some experience. The asso ciate Judges were not lawyers nnd they made no claims to legal knowledge. As n rule they were typical representatives of the backwoodsmen and very Illiterate, yet they had the power to override the presiding Judge and givo the opinion of the court, and they often did so. In such Instances their reasoning wr.s likely to be of a most ludicrous character. How ever, they mode up in honesty what they lacked !n other directions, nud tho re sults weru not ns bad us might be Im agined. They were usually elected be causo of their popularity, and their well known Integrity, and though they occa sionally went wrong their constituents did nut rtrongly censure them because of their mis-lakes. Tho clerks of the pioneer courts were seldom qualified for their duties, and many old time records nro the living proofs of this statement. They wero un educated, and fonio of them barely had tho abllllty to scrawl their own names, yet they dm not lack natlvo shrewdness. There wns a clerK In one of the pioneer settlements of central Indiana who boast ed of nls superior qualifications by de claring that ho had been siifd on every section of the .statute, and tberefo;e knew the law, while his opponent had never been sued and therefore could not know tho law. He wns ejected on thh plat form. Tho sheriffs were chosen by tho people, and the man who could send his voice farthest In the woods from tho court houso door wns often the succesful enn- dldnte. A stentorian voice, physical strength nnd tried courngo wero the prin cipal qualifications for this Important ofllce. When tho court desired the pres ence nf John Smith ns a petit Juror or us a witness It wns tho sheriff's duty to stand outsldo thu court houso or poke his head out of a window and cry three times and with all the power of his lungs. "John Smith, come to court," nnd John generally heard the call and obeyed. If ho happened to bo so remote that ho did not hear thcro wero always plenty of loiterers who esteemed It nn honor to go after hlin. A written sum mons was seldom icmrted to, It v;n re gal ded us n waste of material and time, to say nothing of tho stupendous task which ibo preparation of such a docu ment would placo upon a clerk who could hold a plough handle or a rifle much more effectively than a pen. By far tho most Important men who attended tho sessions of tho courts were tho lawyers, especially the younger ones. But nobody called them lnwyers. They wero squlreb. To sen a young squlro with a quelle three feet long dntiKllng down his back nnd tied with nn eel skin, strutting backward and forward over tho rough hewn slabs that formed tho floor of tho ordinary log court house, brought tho woodsmen from near nnd far; and to henr him "plead" wns worth u weari some foot Journey over ice nnd snow, acioss swollen rivers nnd creeks, through nn Interminable forest. OUR SUGAR CONSUMPTION The Record Beaten in Fiscal Year. tl In Estimated nt 7,r(m,00n,000 Pounds Domestic .Supply Larger Than liver Slinrc from Forelun Sources About ttO Per Cent, A Washington npcclal to tho Ronton Transcript says: Sugnr consumption of tho l.'nltcd Stntea In tho fiscal year Just ended was larger than over boforo nnd wns also drawn moro largely than ever before from our own fields nnd planta tions In both continental United States and In tho noncontiguous territories, Tho quantity of sugar consumed In the country during the fiscal year Just ended was, according to estimates of the bu reau of statistics of the department ot commerce nnd labor, ",5fO,(XO,0'jO pounds, speaking In round terms or nn average of H pounds per cnplta. On only two occa sions, 'o and 1M7, had the consumption orovsed the 7,iiO,orK,fl-Yi line, and on only four other occasions, 13.1. 1!"C, K- and llf.fi hnd the total passed the. C,Oyn,0fjo,0M line. In supplying this largest quantity of sugnr ever consumed Ir. tho t'ulted States, Hawaii, Porto lllco nnd the beet sugar fields of the Pnltcd State-4 con tributed in onoh casn larger quantities for domeoflc consumption than ever be fore, the Philippines eonttibutcd u larger quantity than at any other time since annexation, while the contributions of the (nnc fields of the United States wero slightly lcs-i than In several earlier yars. The quantity of sugar sent to the Tnlted States from the Hawaiian Isiurds In the fiscal year 1.110 wns 1,111, OHoni pn.imls, against ,0?s,no0,on In lt"S. the former high rncord year; from Porto lllco, ."l.OOO.W pminds, a,gilti"t IvS.oifiiOO pounds In Ifirp, tho former high record year; and from the Philip, plno Islands 17S,0"O,0fti pounds, a total larger than In any year since 1890. The conttiVutlon of the beet susar fields of roii'lrentnl t'nlted States to tho con sumption of tho fiscal year 1910 was 1, 02.),C.ri pounds, against M7.0"o,rl In tl.e high record fenr l!OT; while the cane sugar product of the United Stntes con tributed Tf.O.OOO.Oei) pound", against 829,- O'lO.niyi In ISOO, the former high record year. As a consequence of this Increased i-upplv from Hawaii, Porto Rico, the I'hl'lpplne Islands and the beet sugar fields ot the t'nlted States, the quantity of sugar imported from foreign countries fell tiom l.lfj6,C),(il pounds In the Ilsral year, ll)'0, to 3,91S.(i,H00 in 1010. from these figures It appears that th sugar fields of continental United States supplied about 21 per renL of the con sumption In this country In tho fiscal year 1310, the noncontiguous territories of the United States about X per cent., nnd foreign countries about 51 per cent. In l:j;i foreign countries supplied ubou' n'ooi.t per cent, of tho total sugar con sumption of the country. This reduction In the share which for eign countries are supplying of the sugar consumed In the United States, from an average of about 7 per cent, prior to l.W down to a little more than 50 per cent, at the present time, is due In part to an Increase in the production ot beet sugnr In the United Stntes and In part to Increased contributions from the non contiguous territories. In the calendar year !9(i9 the quantity of beet sugar produced In the United States was, ac cording to figures of tho department of agriculture, 1,025,000 pounds, against 7.1, 0i,O in 1W, n decade earlier, or fifteen times .is much In 1500 as In 1J99. The Quantity of cane sugar produced In tho country was, In 1!iS, according to the same authority, 750.0uO,iX pound, against WO.ooo.ooO In lfStt. The quantity of cane sugnr brought from Hawaii In the fiscal year 1010 was, according to flumes of the bureau of statistics, t,lll,r,o.fmo pounds, agnln.st JiG.rflO.Wn In 1000; from Porto Rico, MI.OOCOW pounds, against 73.O00.0o0 in 10n); and from the Philippine Islands, 17i'.,ikl,0) pounds, nKnlnst 4P.on..ntifi in 1DM. The contrlbutlin of the mi gar '.lelda of continental United States to tho eon sumption of the fiscal year VilO wa thus 1.775s(0,XO pounds, ot which 1.i125,iV),00) pounds wan beet sugar ami 75,W,oeO pounds cane sugar. Prior to 1007 tho quantity of cane sngni produced In tho United States exceeded that from beets. Beginning with 1007, the quantity sup plied from beets exceeded that lrom cane ami has so continued down to tho ptesent time.
