THE THOMPSON FUND.

The belated account of the Thomp'
son fund trustees, figures from which
are published in another column, af-
fords the first opportunity in nearly
IS months to analyze the administra-
ton of the fund in this town. During
the year ending May 10 last approx
mately $24,S00 was spent in Brattle-
boro. OF this amount a trifle over
$4,000 was used in direct aid to seam
stresses and others, while more than
$751; 400 went toward the running ex-
penses of ,the Brattleboro Memorial
hospital. The report of Mrs. +. A.
Wells, who receives a salary of 5000
for supervising the expenditure of
that part of the fund available for the
benefcaries, says that four patients
were treated at the hospital during the
year These figures will certainly aid
the beneficiaries in the fight they are
making for more equitable admins.
tration on the part of the trustees. At
the beginning of the year covered in
the trustees account over $4,000
was available "for the relief and
support of poor seamstresses, needle
women and shop girls who may be in
temporary need from want of en-
ployment, sickness or misfortune. y
During the year only a trifle over ST.
500 was spent directly for this pur-
pose and there was balance of over
$4,000 after other expenses had
been met. Yet when benefciaries re-
quest aid they are obliged to go
through all sorts of red tape and are
given to understand that the drain
upon the fund is so heavy that the
greatest economy must be practiced in
its distribution; and the famous rule of
1901, which bars seamstresses and
others mentioned in the will who were
not in town previous to that date, IS
brought into use whenever it will
avail. The seamstresses, needle wo'
men and shop girls of Brattleboro
claim that the income from the fund
is not being distributed equitably.
The trustees account, showing as it
does that less than tenth of the sum
available in Brattleboro was spent in
direct aid of those named as benefic-
iaries by the testator, seems to bear
out this claim.

1t is almost needless to say that
Brattleboro people are glad to learn
that there will be no change in the
local train service. The two new pas.

schedule last summer through the eff

ed great convenience to travellers,
and the decision of the Boston 6
Maine to continue them indicates that
the railroad management knows the
value of satisfying the public.

Plotted Christmas Trees.
Manchester, N. H., Union


The tax upon the forests to supply the
demand for Christmas trees is attracting
increased and deserved attention from
wear to year. The trees are sent to the
cities by carloads and are consumed by
hundreds of thousands. When once used
on Christmas eve or Christmas morn, they
are utterly worthless for any purpose and
represent in the aggregate an enormous
drain upon the future resources OF the
country. The larger number of the
trees shipped to the markets represent
from 10 to ID years of growth, and are
cut down at a stage when the next 10
years would show a great increase IN
growth and in the value of the tree for
lumber and, to make the destruction the
more regretable, the trees most desirable
and popular for Christmas trees are of
the timber varieties. In view of this
waste, which is by no means inconsider-
able and rapidly increasing as Christmas
observances become more general in this
country, it has been suggested that each
family might have its own live Christmas
tree, which would be used for many sea-
sons and would besides, be ornamental
and pleasing throughout the year. The
idea is not at all impracticable, and, in
fact, has much to commend it. Potted
evergreens have lately come into vogue.
1ney are already 10 be seen on lne Ter
races of country houses and on the lawns
and by the doors of city dwellings. They
impart a cheerful tone to the surround
ings in the midst of the prevailing winter
barrenness, and there is obviously no rea-
son why they might not be made use of
Christmas. Instead of buying dead and
mutilated one every year, and throwing
it aside after the holidays are over, it is
entirely practicable to plant pretty ever
green in a tub of suitable size, and use
it as a Christmas tree for several seasons:
In addition to the ornamental use of
the tree throughout the year, it would
come to be surrounded by many pleasing
associations connected with the Christmas
festival, and besides all this, there is
something in the consideration that the
Christmas tree is living thing. The
Audubon societies have done a work of
great value in teaching the children, and
the grownup folks, too, the wide differ
ence in beauty between live bird and
dead one. There might also be some
thing well worth while in emphasizing
the difference between dead and mutt
lated Christmas tree and living one.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for Brattleboro People to Neglect.


The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore

sy, diabetes, and Bright's disease fol
low in merciless succession. Don t
neglect your kidneys. Cure the kid

Santa Claus. The letters Of trust
and pleading which heretofore have
gone to the dead letter Office will this
year be turned over to any responsible
parties who will undertake to act as
the agents of Santa Claus. What an
opportunity for doing good is made
possible by this broad. minded ruling
of the postmaster general!
