THE POINT OF VIEW

Trouble has a trick of coming
Butt-end first;
Viewed approaching, then, you've
seen it
At it's worst.
Once surmounted, straight i
dwindles,
Ever small,
And it tapers till there's nothing
Left at all!
So whene'er difficulty
May impend,
Just remember you are facing
The butt-end;
And that, looking back upon it,
Like as not
You will marvel at beholding
Just a dot!

MEMORIAL OF DIRECTORS.

At meeting of the Board of Directors of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad Company. held July 14, 1920, the follow ing Memorial, presented by the President was adopted by the Directors and ordered transcribed upon their records:
 MEMORIAL.
 The Directors desire to place on the records of the Board their sincere sorrow at the death of MT NJ M Whittemore, who had been a faithful official of the Norwich and Worcester Railroad Com pany for more than fifty years. His long period of service gave him a familiarity with all that concerned the interests of the Railroad in the early days. before it was leased, as we'll as since that date The Norwich and Worcester Railroad is among the oldest in the United States. and the loss of such an officer means much to the Stockholders, many of whom knew him personally. The Directors who enjoyed the privilege of his intimate friendship and appreciated his fine traits of character will miss an association al- ways so congenial and helpful. To his widow and relatives we tender our sim cere sympathy in their affiction.
