from the nearest railroad that the President and his family are obliged to ride horseback or drive in vehicle for several hours after leaving their car to reach it. The nearest commun- ity of any size Is over twenty miles distant and so few people live in this part of the United States that between the town and Pine Knot only about ten houses can be seen
 This quiet spot was selected for home by Mrs Roosevelt. The house cost actually less than $500. for many an American laborer and farmer lives in far better dwelling. The people in the vicinity have much larger houses, but 1t is comfortably furnished and has a large open hearth, where a fire is always burning on cold days and in the evening. The house has but four rooms and a small shed, where the meals for the Presidents family are cooked by the one servant, At times Mrs. Roosevelt, who is an expert in cuisine, prepares the meal with her own hands.
 The next door neighbor is 1.-the ana clear-eyed mountaineer, whose affairs have prospered until he owns house that cost at least two thousand dollars He is one of the most prosperous resi- dents of the section, is Sam Hoffman in his two-thousand-d dollar mansion. But Same takes off his hat when he meet his neighbor.
 If you were riding that way, and ohanced to see this refuge chosen by Theordore Roosevelt as country place. you would think it the clearing and the home of a settler carving out his humble niche in the wilderness. And if the owner is there, you may see him laying his axe, with sturdy arm into the butt of a pine which must give way to make way for hisclearine Just woods. and the smell of fir, and the mountain winds, and roof fol

 are what the President sought and found in his nook of the woodland | which is dignifled among the mountain eers by the name of 'Roosevelt's Rest.

ITS SURPRISING SHOWING.

Breaking Its Record for Earning Divi-
 dends, New Haven Management Cuts
 Operating Expenses.
 The showing given elsewhere this morning of the operations of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road for the year ended June 30 is likely to set the observing public to thinking. The gross earnings increased from S49, ,9S1, ,947 to 53,0OO,O 900 and the operat- ing expenses actually decreased in the same period from $S5, ,SS3, OPS to $35, ,400,- 900, a: decline of over $40O, 900 in the face of an increase in receipts of over S4,- GOO, ,000 The balance for dividends, $t1,- soc, ,00Q. is sufficient to pay the regular 6 per cent. dividend on the $80, 0,000, 900 and more of outstanding capital and still leave something more than s4500,- GOO over. Meanwhile trains have been increased, service improved in various ways, and rates decreased, with more reductions in prospect. It should be borne in mind, too that many of the expensive improvements that have been calling for money are not yet doing their share in reducing the cost of op- eration. For example the new bridges, which permit heavier locomotives and consequently longer trains, cannot be used until all are finished, and there has been most annoying delay. Later these will be at work paying for them selves. The road is a great railroad proposition, and it is conceded on all sides that it is in the hands of a mas ter railroad manager. But MT Mellen himself must be surprised at the out come for the year.-Hartford Courant.

PINE KNOT.
The Virginia Refuge of the Roosevelts.

The Virginia Refuge of the Roosevelts.
 Probably no ruler in the world has such a modest country home as the President of the United States. It is situated in the heart of the wilder ness, in the State of Virginia, and is called Pine Knot because it is nearly hidden in clump of trees. The house was partly built of the timber of trees cut in the woodland to make clearing for it, and the porch in front is SUD- ported by posts of these trees left in their natural state.
