The N. E. Kurn Hattln Home.

"Kurn Hattin," the New England
Charitable Homes for boys, situated
at Westminster and Saxtons River,
are accomplishing vast amount Of
good work.
Many boys who otherwise would
grow into aimless men, and the
chances are, criminals, are through
the fundamentally of these homes
trained into self-respecting and use
full citizens.
Fifty boys can be accommodated.
Forty-six deserving applicants were
refused last year for lack of room and
funds.
Much financial aid has been given
the homes during that time, which is
greatly appreciated by all connected
with the work. This help has been
largely in three definite lines: First,
for new school building; second,
an addition to the main building at
Westminster and third for a perma-
nent fund.
While our friends have been so
generously giving in these lines,
some have forgotten that our boys
must eat and be clothed, consequent
ly we are facing deficiency in run
ming expenses which Will OF necessl-
ty increase unless more liberal gifts
are made for this purpose.
Miss e. Eliza Sessions, financial
agent for the homes, is spending
few days in town. She hopes to
meet all of the old "Kurn Hattin"
friends and make many new ones.
1t is to be hoped that all in plan
ming their contributions for this year
will carefully consider the above
statements.

White River Road
Closed.

The board Of railroad commits
soners has issued an order, closing
the White River railroad to all
freight and passenger traffic. This
order was not made as a result of
petitions but because the commits
sion, as a result Of its Investigations,
found the road, particularly the
bridges, in an unsafe condition. The
company is ordered to rebuild Gel
tain bridges and trestles before traffic
can be resumed. This action is
based on report made by Charles
F. Stowell, bridge engineer of the
railroad commission.
The White River railroad extends
from Bethel to Rochester, distance
of nineteen miles.
Originally the town of Rochester
agreed to pay $40, 700 and the town
OF Stockbridge $4,000 toward the
construction of the road, provided
the line was completed and in sub
stantial running order by January /,
1900. Before the road was con-
pleted the company failed and the
property went into the hands of Bos-
ton and Gardner, Mass, parties
The road was completed within the
time limits set, but some of the ties
were laid on the ground without
grading and the proper grading and
ballasting never has been done.
Rochester and Stockbridge, mean
while. refused to pay the sums for
which they bonded on the ground
that conditions stipulated had not
been complied with. and the matter
is now in the courts. Some private
subscriptions, amounting to few
thousand dollars were paid
Now the town of Rochester offers
to pay the sum of $4,000 into the
hands OF third party provided the
railroad company contributes like
amount, the whole to be used for re-
pairs on the road.

Voice of the Rhinoceros.

In the course of year / saw more
than 600 rhinoceroses and the tracks
of thousands. The sight of these gil
gantic beasts standing in the moon
shine on the snowwhite steppes is still
vivid in my memory. have never en-
countered more than four at one time,
though l have seen as many as eight
together.
Their appearance when in sitting
posture is very like the stump of a
tree. While resting the rhinoceros
very often resigns himself to his feath-
cred friends, who alight upon his body
and serve the double purpose of free
ing his skin from parasites and giving
warning Of danger. 1t is a case of
partnership between an animal with a
keen sense Of smell and birds with
keen eyes.
The horns of the African rhinoceros
sometimes attain length of nearly
five feet, and when he lifts up his
voice the whole world seems to trem.
BILE. The sound is so tremendous that
the effect is startling in the extreme.

STEADY GROWTH OF TRADE
Succeeding of the


Phenomenal activity, reaching to
every branch of trade and industry.
marked the year 1905.
During the summer of 1904 the ma
ton began to recover from prolong-
ed season of business stagnation. AS
the months of that year progressed,
conditions became more and more IA
vorable Both in speculation and In
the lines of actual industry the spirit
OF revival was extant, and the end OF
the year witnessed conditions that
were gratifying to business interests
in the extreme.
With the dawn of 1905 this state OF
affairs continued, and throughout the
twelve months growth in all lines OF
commercial enterprise was main
tanned.
There was not month in which
the financial position of the nation
was not strengthened The business
of the country gained momentum as
the year progressed, until in the final
weeks the most remarkable state of
activity ever displayed in the history
of the United States was Witnessed
Remarkable in many respects, the
distinctive featurerof 1906 In its finan-
cial and commercial aspect was its
eyenness No machinery ran more
easily, more smoothly than the mae
rial currents. II was steady adj
vance In production and consumption;
a constant increasing demand for
banking accommodations an accumu-
lation of deposits, the immediate in
dex OF expanding wealth. The latter
half of the period developed demand
for supplies which taxed the capacity
of factories. mills and mines to supply.
This was the stimulation of an I'M
precedented crop of grains upon a
market expanded to normal proper
tons. The earlier activity was the
continuation of the previous year,
when business revived from year of
stagnation and inactivity, from year
of liquidation and pessimism. The
movement gathered force during the
winter, and with the open weather the
building operations of the people be-
came general, calling every idle hand
into use. The induces of material af-
fairs pointed to strong pressure
everywhere, reflect the bounty of
Dame Fortune in the ranks of the
capitalist and the laborer.
