sites of life. How can l save anything
to apply on the purchase of home? OF
course there are instances, particularly
where there is a large family and the
father is earning only $3.50 or SLIGO per
day, where every cent is required for
actual living expenses, but there are
numerous other instances where the
term necessities is a very elastic one.
What one man calls a necessity is to
many of his neighbors a luxury. For
example, if man must smoke it is not
necessary that he should smoke good
cigars. A pipe is much more economical
and less injurious to health. Hundreds
of our workingmen spend from to
twenty five cents daily in the different
saloons. The saloon is the last place in
the world where thrifty wage-earner
ought to spend his money. Drinking,
no matter how moderately, is a luxury
which only the well-to-do can afford.
The workingman and his family need
wholesome amusement and they ought
to have it, but there are many cheaper
ways of having good time than buying
dollar seats in the opera house.
A saving of even % cents day will
amount to good round sum in five
years. All that the prospective home
owner needs here in Bellows Falls in
order to build his own home is to own
his lot clear. With his lot paid for he
can 90 to the bank and secure money
enough to build modest house. To be
sure he has a mortgage on which he has
to pay interest, but he will find that
both cheaper and more satisfactory than
paying rent.
Then, too, the man who has home,
debt is likely to be better citizen than
one who has no property interests. de
becomes more interested in the church
and in the school and is more likely tc
be found on the right side of questions
affecting the public welfare. He has an
interest in keeping taxes within bounds
and he attends town and village meeting,
oftener.
One great drawback to home owning
in Bellows Falls is the high price of land
In the main part of the village there are
very few desirable building lots for SALE
anyway, and the prices they are held a
scare anyone in moderate circumstances
Good lots can be secured, however, or
the outskirts at reasonable price, anC
a home where there is patch of grass
and plenty of air and sunshine has it
own peculiar advantages. There arr
numerous citizens in Bellows Falls wh'
ought to be taking steps to own thei
own homes. Any deserving, sobe
workingman who wishes to build ough
to be met half way by the banks having
money to loan, and he will be if he ha
the right stuff in him.

Walked Down to Death.

John Peterson was killed by train No
81 on the Rutland railroad Saturday
near the Spring Grove camp meeting
grounds. The body was badly mangled,
both legs and arms being broken, his
ribs crushed and his head split open.
The train was little late and running fast.
AT this point there is a sharp curve, and
as the train rounded this, almost opposite
the camp grounds, man was seeh
walking in the middle of the track. He
had pack on his back and evidently
did not hear the shrill whistle of the
train. The brakes We're instantly APP
piled but the train was unable to stop
before reaching the man, who was hit
squarely and was then drawn under the
wheels. The remains were picked up by
the trainmen and taken to New Haven
Junction. The engineer blew his
whistle several times, but the man did
not or would not take warning. 1t is
thought by many to be a case of self
destruction. When at New Haven
village he asked the way to Port Henry
and was directed. He walked to New
Haven junction and instead of crossing

Boston financial papers say the Rut-
land railroad is making money and its
stock is good purchase at present low
prices; that the road is expanding thou
sands of dollars in improving its road
bed, bridges, ETC., especially on the
Chatham division. All along its line we
sincerely trust this is true. The better
its physical condition, the better the
service it can give its patrons. The
stock sold last year at 124 and last week
at 80. Surely the water has been
squeezed out of that stock and bottom
has been reached. The road is run as a
business proposition, not as stock

According to this document he was %
years of age at that time and was a

Our Bedens correspondent writes as
follows regarding the accidents
John Peterson, "A Swede, aged about
30, was struck and instantly killed by
the northbound passenger train at 11:20
a. M, Saturday last The accident &C.
Cured about two miles north of Beldens,
or in the vicinity of Spring Grove Camp
Ground and some unusual features of
the case have caused little speculation
as to whether the mans death was acct
dental or a case of suicide. Peterson
was noticed by the trainmen few rods
ahead walking between the rails toward
the train his eyes evidently cast down as
as if scanning the ties and other objects
along the track. Engineer Lavalley
sounded the whistle in the usual manner
and supposed the fellow would then step
off, but he failed to do SO and in another
instant he had deliberately walked into
the ponderous engine and was rolling
beneath the moving train. The mangled
body with head split open and Other
shocking disfigurements was put aboard
the train and left at New Haven June
ton. The theory of suicide is not taker
seriously by those who know something
of Peterson's peculiarities. 1t is moro
probable that his mind was deeply
absorbed in some subject and he bumped
into the train before he awoke to reali
cation of his perilous position.

NOTE AND COMM ENT.
Learn "A Good Trade.

One of the finest inheritances that can
fall to child is a love for mechanics
and capacity to carry out those tastes.
1t may not be thought at first glance
that Charles Nichols of New York inner
tied the skilled bridge building instincts
of his father, for the son is an architect
while the father, Norman Nichols of
Randolph, was superintendent of bridge
building work on the Central Vermont
railway for many years. But architec-
ture in New York city is only kind of
bridge building. The secret of the
that they are veritable steel bridges laid
straight up and down in the air instead
of horizontally. The idea of those great
girders of steel cemented in solid rock is
bridge-born. Charles Nichols has the
designing of one of these buildings for
the New York American. 1t will be 81
stories, or 500 feet from the street level
to the ridge roof, but being only l00x75x
75x40 feet on the ground will be nothing
but a tower in appearance. There is a total
wind pressure of 30 pounds per square
foot on the 100 foot side and Mr.. Nichols
will require all his inherited gifts to
brace that inverted bridge against such a
pressure. Mr.. Nichols is a graduate OF
the engineering department of the Nor
witch university, afterwards going to the
Thayer school of engineering in Hanover
n. II. He is now with Kirby, Petit &
Greene of New York.
