 The story that President Mellen's resignation from the New Haven was In the hands of the directors, with President Howard Elliott of the North ern Pacific named as his successor. when the Westport indictment brought delay of action, was revived with re- newed vigor yesterday:
 It is believed that MT. Mel1en's resig- nation from the New Haven will not be brought about until after he has had a chance to answer the two in- dictments pending against him, one a result of the Westport wreck, and the other brought in the Federal court at New York on the score of the all legged combination of the New Haven and the Grand Trunk to restrain trade by stopping work on the partially completed Grand Trunk line to Provi- dence.
 The view of many New Haven stock holders who believe that President MelIen's expenditures have been re- sponsfble for the stock depreciation, was voiced yesterday by one of them, who said:
 'T do not like 8, man who is not afraid of spending money The policy of spending money broadcast when you do not have it or do not see where it is coming from Is not sound one. There Is no 5uSI1uaDl6 I6GSOh TUT lAAO broad purchase of trolley lines that the New Haven has extended itself to acquire. The result is inevitable. When you have a trolley line and a steam line side by side under one management one or the other is bound to suffer. The argument that the troll ley lines became feeders of the steam lines is nulIided in this way. Likewise the steamship lines of the New Haven have made the system suffer. There is a limit to this sort of expenditure and the limit has been reached now. President Mellen brought with him the policy of expenditure. That pol icy is finished"
 Morris McDona1d, the successor of MT. MelIen as president of the Boston and Maine and Maine Central. is about 50 years old. He entered the railway service in November, 1883, with the engineering corps of the Kentucky and Indiana Bridge company. He did a good deal of rai1roading in the south and in 1896 became secretary to the general manager of the Maine Central railroad. Since 1908 he has been vice. president and general manager of the Maine Central

The total number of eggs laid dur ing the thirty-fourth week of the In ternational Egg-Laying Competition was 2,O56. This is about 100 less than the previous weeks production, no doubt due to the fact that the warm weather has increased the amount of broodfness among the heavy breeds.
 There were two pens that tied for first place for the week, each having made a score of thirty eggs. One was 8 pen of Single Comb White Leghorns

which retain interest-pictures with
which one would gladly live their sig
ntf1cance being, as 1T were, exhaustless.
Mr.. Moser was to great extent self
taught His feeling for art was intuitive.
For a brief time he experienced student
life in New York. 1t was there and
then that he had the good fortune to
meet the lady who became his wife. a
Mr.. Moser schooled himself. In his earlier
days he sketched indefatigably and he
took advantage of every opportunity
which offered to see good work. He was
industrious as we'll as talented. One sum-
mer, now a good many years ago, he
went abroad, and for every day he was
gone there is picture-and good one.
This collection he has kept almost intact.
1t is wonderfully clever and Interesting.
The work Is in water color and the
medium is handled with extraordinary
skill, crisply, directly and with spar
king briiliancy. This was before the day
of broad washes and the color is laid on
as it was purposed to remain. One can
not say that 1t is superior, SO far as
manner goes, to Mr.. Moser's later way
of working, but 1t is very interesting and
attractive. The fact is that in all prob
ability if Mr.. Moser had not first been
exact he could not later have been SO
successfully subtle.
Certainly he would not have made as
good a teacher as he did, for one must
know the rudiments to impart them to
class work at the Corcoran School
marked him as an unusual teacher.
Teaching was with Mr.. Moser, as with
many other artists, a means of liveE
hood. but he never regarded it merely
as this, any more than he ever painted
for money. He put his best into what
ever he did and the result might be as
II would. He taught with energy and
absorbed interest, and in the achieve
ments of his pupils he found abundant
reward. He would display the work of
a pupil with the utmost pleasure, point
ing out its merits and praising without
stint.
Mr. Moser had what many lack-the
power to enjoy his own achievements
regarding them impersonally and without
concet. 1t was because he did not over
estimate his own ability that when a de-
sired effect was attained he found delight
in 1t as in an unexpected gift. He was
always pushing ahead, working toward
an ideal, but he found contentment all
along the way in the knowledge that he
was making progress.
Mr.. Mosers life is reflected in his work,
and while it lasts he will still speak
There are few indeed who leave so
worthy record or who have contributed

jerry had spent one winter in 1t and he
had decided TO spend another there after
he had fixed it up little. So as long
as he hadn't got to build a brand-new
his cousin Paddy. Perhaps he hoped that
Paddy would ask his advice.
But Paddy did nothing of the kind. He
had seen Jerry Muskrat's house. and he
had smiled. But he had taken great
pains not to let Jerry see that smile. He
wouldn't have hurt Jerry's feelings for
the world He is too polite and good
natured to do anything like that. So
Jerry sat on the end of an old log and
watched Paddy work. The first thing to
was Of mud and grass. with sticks worked
into it to hold it together Paddy dug
the mud from the bottom of his new
pond. And because the pond was new.
of course, there was great deal of
grassy sod there, which was just what
Paddy needed. 1t was very convenient.
Jerry watched a little while, and then,
because Jerry is a worker himself, he
just had to get busy and help. Rather
timidly he told his big cousin that he
would like to have share In building
the new house.
IAN right" replied Paddy, that will
be fine. You can bring mud while I am
getting the sticks and grass"
So Jerry dived down to the bottom of
the pond and dug up mud and piled it on
the foundation and was happy. The little
stars looked down and twfnkled merrily
as they watched the two workers So the
foundation grew and grew down under
the water. Jerry was very much sur
prised at the size of 1t. It was ever and
ever so much bigger than the foundation
for his own house. You see, he had for
gotten how much bigger Paddy was. OF
course he would need a much bigger
house. So each night Jerry and Paddy
worked, resting during the daytime. Oc-
casionally Bobby Coon or Reddy Fox or
Unc' Billy Postum or Jimmy Skunk would
come to the edge OF the pond to see what
