Prosperity i'm New England.

Those people who are inclined to
look upon New England industries as
retrogrsding and think that our man
ufacturing industries are going to
other sections Of the country Will be
surprised 10 learn that within the last
three years without any increase of
mileage whatever, the Boston and
Maine Railroad has shown a gross in
crease in business of more than $4,-
oo0, 600. The reaction" in New Eng
land has been most unwarrantably eX-
eggerated. There is a certain hesi-
fancy on the part of local manufac-
tureTs to increase their outputs during
Presidential year and the volume of
merchandise transportation is affected
thereby. but on the whole men en-
gagged IN he transportation business
regard the conditions as normal. and
there seems 10 be no diminution in the
energy If the producers. Under such
conditions the railroads. which are
anoices Of general prosperity, are on
the whole doing very well.-Boston

PASSPORT TO Newport society.

Spendthrift ancestors have left many
cf the nobility with vast establishments
which they are not able to maintain,
and it has become their ambition to
rent their country homes to rich Amer
leans. The number of the latter who
care to spend any long time in England
is limited and other means to extract
dollars from aspiring Americans have
been adopted. For example, the lease
of an Englishman's yacht may contain
the provision that the noblenan and
certain of his titled friends shall visit
simplest road of the parvenu million
aire to swell society. To have had as
his guests persons of title is a sure
passport to the best circles Of Newport.

HARDIN, Dec. 25.-Chinese from the

carts, with iron shields in front and on

Some frozen japanese have been

BRITISH ANXIOUS OVER
SUMS DUE FROM GUATEMALA

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 25.-News
from Guatemala shows that there Is
much feeling on the part of the Brit
ish residents regarding the non-pay>
ment of the debt due to British bond
holders. 1t is asserted that the Brit
ish legation will be removed from
Guatemala City to either Nicaragua
or Salvador. There seems to be no
prospect of the Guatemalan Govern
ment complying with the obligations
Of foreign creditors. The best people
in Guatemala deplore the attitude Of
the Government and it's disregard OF

Rich Man and His Money.

Whether Mr.. Rockefeller is to start
a bank in London or not, the statement
is of interest because it indicates how
large a proportion of the public that
does not know Mr. Rockefeller and
has no money in his enterprises is de-
voting it's leisure to thinking about his
business. Mr.. Rockefeller is so many
times a millionaire that unless he hires
a secretary to do nothing but make
Gaily estimates from the stock quota
tioDs he could not tell within $4,000 900
or $S,000,0 900 just what he is worth. I'm
less Mr.. Rockefeller gives away money
much faster than he is giving it now
his wealth is sure ofincrease so fast
that everything in the country is his

Spain is about to abolish bull-fight-

has changed so much IN the last six
years as Spain. The effect of the

istered to her navy by the United

THE BOY AND THE FARM.
en- Of the Reasons Why the BOya
Choose other Than Farm
Life..A II ..yns.ilv.

It is perfectly natural that there
should rise up in q boy, as he grows
up, a longing fol. independence, an in
diyidual ownership Of some property
and it is, perhaps, just as natural, but
none the less unfortunate, that many
parents fail to recognize this. Til
the young man marries and sets up
for himself, these parents look upon
him still as a child, and treat him as
such. Hence many q young man hur-
ries off to the city, where his indie
pendence is not questioned, or at least
not questioned in the same way, and
where he feels that he is himself max
ing something that be can dispose
Of as his judgment directs.
This feeling rises much earlier than
NAV be supposed, and it would be
wise to meet it with gradual increase
Of freedom and responsibility, together
with the chance to earn something and
own something himself. The result
will be new interest in the farm
life. the If terest of part ownership, an
increased feeling of manliness Of power,
: training that comes from personal
responsibility for the management OF
an enterprise, and proper appreciation
- tha ynlae and uses Of money, that
come on!f from earning it and han
ding It. :,
