Some Excellent Talk on H07g to
Start IN TIE NezU Year.

The past is valuable only for the les
sons it can teach; the present for its
opportunities; the future for its posi-
bilities, writes Edward w. Box in the
January Ladies' Home Journal What
ever the past year may have meant to
you make it dead history. But let the
New Year be living issue. With big
fresh sponge, dripping with the clear
water of forgiveness, wipe clean the
slate of your heart. Enter the year
with a kind thought for every one You
need not kiss the hand that smote you,
but grasp it in cordial good feeling, and
let the electricity of your own resolves
find its connecting currant-which very
often exists where we think it not An
ill-natured thought often makes us bluer
than the person to whom it is directed
A happy mind is an elixir, and as are
the spirits of the wife in the home, so
will be those Of the husband, who in
turn Will carry them out into the outer
world. Domestic happiness often col
ors commercial prosperity. The hearth
stone is the corner of the counting room
An unhappy wife makes a blue mer-
chant. As we men live at home, so we
work in the outer world.-[ Milwaukee

HINTS FOR NEW YEARS DAY.

Look not upon the wine-list when it
is read.
Don't eat pie with your fingers; try
your mouth-it tastes much better.
In conversation slide over the
weather chestnut and talk about Koch
and his cure.
Don't ask how many calls the young
lady's had; you should rather seek to
discourage falsehood.
Don't enter the parlor with muddy
boots; you NAV be taken for a carpet
cleaner anxious for work
De not carry a cane; some of the
ladies on whom you call may consider
one stick at call sufficient.
Have your boots nicely polished
proving conclusively that if you can't
slime at one end you can at the other.
Don't allow the young lady to help
you TO any one thing on the table more
than twice; the third tine help
yourself.
Be sure that you have your own hat
and coat when leaving; this may not be
for your financial aggrandlzement, but
it is safer.
Refrain from spilling coffee down the
back of your lady friends dress her
best young man may wear 1ayendar
trousers, and perhaps objects to having
coffee spots upon them.

ABOUT THE GERRYMANDER.

In this issue will be found a supple
ment prepared and edited by A. J.
Turner, of Portage. Read it over care
fully. The Milwaukee Telegraph speaks
of Mr.. Turner as follows:
"A. J. Turner, the well-kuewn editor
and legislator, who has resided at Por-
tage City for more than thirty years, has
written an exhaustive article on the
highway robbery perpetrated by the
last legislature under the gulise of a re-
apportionment of the state into con-
gressional and legislative districts. No
man can read that article without being
convinced that all that has been said by
the republicans of the democratic legis-
lature and its work in reapportioning,
was justly said. Of course Mr.. Turner,
a most excellent gentleman, and one of
the best posted men in Wisconsin, is
receiving car loads of shameless abuse at
the hands of the democratic press, but
Mr.. Turner is not the kind of man who
is frightened by such abuse

Dentist,

The laws of health are taught in our
schools; but not in way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrat-
ed by living examples, which in many
cases could easily be done. If some
scholars, who had just contracted cold
was brought before the school. so that
all could hear the dry loud cough, and
know its significance see thethin white
coating on the tongue, and later, AS the
cold developes, see the profuse waterv
eNpectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms of
cold were. The scholar should then
be given Chamberlain Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even q
severe cold coUlp be cured in one or
two days, or at least greatly mitigated,
when properly treated as soon as the
first symptoms appear. For sale by J.

Death Of Miss Mile Gordon
"He GlUeM His Lsh0Ved Szeeb."

"He GlvetA His Istioued S2eeb."
She lay in her youthful beauty,
Brought low on a bee of pain;
Her dear form worn ana wasted,
The fever burning ner brain.
OH where should we tsirn for succor,
Since human aid were vain?
Then unto the pittyihg Angles
We cried in our anguish sore,
Oh! reach out your hands of healing,
Our suffering child restore.
&s&
They reached out their hands of healing
And she never knew pain any more.
Again through the joyful echoes OF
festival chimes, has reverberated the
mournful sound of bell toliing, tolling
the years of fair, sweet life gone out
in oblivion. Never has Christmas week
in Grand Rapids been SO clouded in
sadness and mourning as the present
one.
The tragic drowning of Miss Grace
Hall, while skating on the river the
Saturday before Christmas, (as chroni-
cled in last weeks REPoRTER,) was fol-
lowed the Sunday after Christmas by
the sad death of Miss Millie Gordon,
one of the most beautiful and popular
young ladies of the twin cities.
Miss Gordon was born and reared
here, the only daughter of Alonson
Gordon, Il prominent business man and
an old settler Of this place She was
we'll known. Her ,wtnsome manners,
amiable temper and womanly ways won
her many friends. An only daughter,
on whose education and care no pains
had been spared, her loss will be sad
indeed to the bereayed parents.
For weary months they have watched
over her with the tenderest solicitude,
valnly hoping for human aid to save the
beloved one, but though life and love
encircled her with strong arms, and Joy
and gladness and earths revelry were
all about her, striving to WOO her
through the open door between earth
and heaven came the sound of voices
calling, "come up higher"
Joyful bells were ringing,
Angel voices singI19,
Heavenl Y music pea!ing
NelcOme welcome welcome!
There, a soul is freed from earth,
Here, new Angelic birth
Until as slowly the great door of death
closed behind the glorifed form
Song sinks into silence,
The story is told,
The windows are darkened,
The hearthstone is cold.
Darker and darker
The black shadows fall,
Sleep and oblivion
Reign over all"
Millie Edith Gordon, the only dauhter
of Orlondo and There Gordon, was
born in Centialia =, SO, 1870. She
has lived in Centralla all her life She
graduated from the Centralia School
at the age of II. She has not been
strong for some time, for three or more
years. She was taken seriously sick
last August and since that time
gradually sank nntil she passed away
early last Sunday morning. She
attended the Methodist Sunday School
in Grand Rapids until the one in
Centralia was organized. During her
sickness she seemed perfectly at rest
regarding the future and Was ready to
go. She seaves a brother, George
Orson Gordon, of Lodi, parents and
many friends to mourn her decease.
The funeral was held from Unity
Church, Centralia, Tuesday afternoon
Rev. j. Churm officiating. The
Methodist choir rendered some beau
tifal selections and the church was
filled with sympathizing friends.
