THE editor of this column speaks
of the passing away of the old year,
and the advent of the new, with its
possibilities. Yes, there are posi-
bilities. How many opportunities
lie before us, even in this little vii
lage! For instance, a new year,
through its length of three hundred
and sixty-five days, means much,
or may mean much, for every one
of the children and young people
with us. It means growth with
them, growth of some sort. The
young mind is open, eager and I'M
passionable. The future of each
such can be influenced and nodded
toward nobility of thought and
action. The future citizen of Idaho,
growing up in our midst, can be
made more fit for citizenship in the
wear that is upon us already state
hood for our beautiful Gem OF the
Mountains is pending. 1t is pro-
posed to form a society OF the
young people of Ketchum, with the
opening of the New Year, for the
purpose of growth in good citizen
ship and the elements Of manhood
and womanhood. Instruction will
begin with lecture-talks upon Idaho
and the settlement of the West.

1t is dangerous for man to be
too perfect in his part when pro-
posing marriage to q girl. He will
give himself away in such q way
that she will know he has proposed
many times before and will not re-
gard it as compliment. He should
seem animated and awkward and
stammer, and she will take him at
his word before he really says it
and all will be right.

Our helm is given up to a better
guidance than our own; the course
Of events is quite too strong for any
helmsman, and our little whcrry is
taken in tow by the ship Of the
great Admiral which knows the
way. and has the force to draw men
and states and planets to their good.
Let man learn to look for the
permanent in the mutable and fleet
ing; let him learn to bear the dis
appearance Of things he was wont
to reverence, without. losing his
reverence; let him learn that he is
here, not to work, but to be worked
upon; and that, though abyss open
under abyss, and opinion displace
opinion, all are at last contained in
the Eternal Cause.

The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night:
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,

The year is going-let him go;
King out the false, ring in the true.

was Gen. L. T. Michener, Attorney general Of
Indiana, who was one Of the Indiana men that
did effective work In General Harrisons behalf
In Chicago. He IL actively interested in the
politics Of his State, and comes fresh from q
survey of the Indiana field. He speaks en-

Michener said "The people Of Indiana are
thoroughly aroused to the Importance OF this
campaign, and find tha. the Republicans are
not only enthusiastic. but they are anxious to
work. There is a silent revelation Of large pro.
portions in progress, and find at least 90 per
cent. OF the changes are from tho Democratic
aud Prohibition parties to the Republican party.
General Harrison's nomination was agreeable to
the Indiana Prohibitiou'sis by reason OF his
high Christian character, and the Prohibitionists
have also to thank the Republicans for incorpor-
ating into the platform local-option plank. The
leading question, OF course, 10 the tariff issue,
but all questions OF q national character will be
thoroughly discussed In Indiana on the stump.

A NAN DESCRIBES A DRESS

An old farmer. returning from the we'd
ding Of q niece in distant city, was eagerly
questioned by his family as to the brides cos
tune. "Well,' said he, "she had on some
kind of a dress. with lot of fub-drubbery
of some sort or mother down the front of it,
thiDg-a-ma-jg on the back of it, with long
tail of some stuff don't know what il was
dragging out behind, and lot of fip-fap
founces over the whole thing. There wasn't
no arms to it, and she had lot OF white
truck. soft and foppy-liks. on her head, and
that's jist all know about it."
We could do better than this when it comes
to mems and boys clothes. but it would be
very difficult to describe the big bargains that
we are offering in them. You must see to be
convinced. Hats, underwear and outsrwear

After utterine long string Of misssatemsnts

purposely misrepresentsd Dir. Morton, when the
Indianapolis member got up and said that he
based his statements on the Congressional
Record. Ms Cannon showed by the journal OF

with from 1000 to 5000 people, and 1t is habit
in Indiana, when a man makes an enthusiastic
speech, for the audience to shake hands with
him afterward When candidate for Governor
he frequently shook the hands OF hundreds OF
admring friends in a single evening. In this
way General Harrison has become an expert In
shaking hands. The outlook in Indiana Is ex-
tremely favorable from q Republican point OK
view, and see no reason why, with active, sys-

not be carried for General Harrison"
