LOOKING AT THE PAST.

Think of the Pleasant Things, the Kind
Words and Loving Deeds-Tho Need of
Self Encouragement.
Of the mistakes of life we read: eek
emption from mistakes is not the priv
lege of mortals: and the man who, on
discovering his errors, acknowledges
and corrects them, is scarcely less en-
titled to our. esteem than if he had not
erred" We believe the kind Father in
Heaven looks with loving compassion
on the struggles of poor, weak human
ity, helping and commencing every
honest effort toward using past failings
as warnings and safeguards, inducing
better living in time to come.
Each passing year is sure to have
brought it's trials, it's griefs and disap-
pointments to many hearts; so the dis
couraged, signing retrospective view is
not the wise, healthful way of regard
ing matters.
Take the second and better way of
looking at the past. Ask the old year
what the entire record has been. Re
view the bright things, the kind words
you tried to speak, the visitations made
in homes of sorrow, the various little
deeds of charity willingly performed.
Over against some sins of omission,
set bit of work done here and there
for the benefit of those needing your
help. There need be no over self-grat-
ulation in doing this. One good deed
helps on another, and self-encourage-
ment is often sorely needed. Alone with
memory there need be no reluctance to
do ones self justice on the good, the
winning side of 1ife's complicated re-
euirements. If there have been days
of sharp sorrow to contemplate, remem-
Der the helps kindly sent, the sustain
ing promises of Scripture, the tender
ministrations of friends, and, above all.
the sure hope of Heaven.
Take all consolation possible along
the entire line. Make retrospection
something to strengthen hope and to
stimulate courage. The whole scene is
to close before long. And when the end
is reached, the tired feet and weary
brain are usually full ready for the rest.
Then it will be the motives, the honest
intentions actuating the entire past,
that will weigh with our just and mer-
ciful Judge-Christian Work.

RAISING OF HORSES.
Prospect for the Future as Presented to
the Discouraged Farmer.

the Discouraged Farmer.
The price of horses has of late been
so reduced that farmers are discour-
aged in horse raising. The low prices
now prevailing are due to a want of
demand on account of the electric car
system, which has been so generally
established throughout the cities and
some parts of the country for rapid
transportation. This is, no doubt, in
some part the cause of the weak de-
1nand for horses in the markets. There
is, however, another cause, which will
be found in overproduction. A few
years ago the horse craze, as it may
be called, prevailed among farmers, and
there was scarcely anyone who was not
breeding either frst-class roadsters or
blooded drivers.
For these, for few years, first-class
prices were obtained, and the demand,
which was at the time fictitious one,
produced sort of boom in horsefesh,
with an oversupply, and now there are
too many horses for the market, which
has for the time been somewhat dimin-
ished by the electric car lines.
But good horses are always desirable,
and will in the near future bring better
prices than now. Farmers will under
stand what they need, and for awhile,
perhaps, the supply will be short of
the demand, but the price will again
settle to fair compensation for the
trouble and risk in raising good horses.
Good family horses will always be In
demand in the cities and in the prosper
Gus villages Cars may carry men to
business, and women to their shopping,
but there is a demand, in hours not
spext in business, for carriage horse
to supply the need felt by every well-to-
do family that they may have a restful
airing in the parks and in the suburbs
of the city. Farmers would do well
to turn their attention to raising horses
to supply this want. Horses should

THE CHARM.
OF a College Students Life Causes . Pro
lessor To Return tn IT

Oh q College students Life Causes Pro-
lessor TO Return to It.
Everybody said that the boy with the
eyeglasses and the pale straw hair
would be professor-one of the great
educational masters OF the age. When
he graduated from the high school his
friends heard him read the yaledictory
with glee. When he received his sheep
skin at the university they urged him
to do his best to become a member of
the faculty, and the faculty itself, be-
ing in need of a talented young man,
beamed amiably upon him.
So it came to pass that being person
of undoubted ability and great popu-
larity with the powers that be he was
given a chair and taught chemistry in
the university with such success that
old professors spoke of him as a marvel
and a wonder. For three years he
taught chemistry and physics, and oc-
casionally instructed classes in biology.
Then he went on a vacation and did not
return
The professors shook their aged
heads and his friends buzzed in utter
establishment. The young man-pro-
fessor though he was, he is not yet 81
wrote from little town out in the will
derness that he had found engagements
that precluded his return to the chair
of chemistry at - university, and
that he sent his best wishes along with
his resignation. So the young man
passed out of the faculty and gradu-
ally out of the memory of his friends.
One day, about week ago, a man
who knew the bright young professor
well CHANGED to be in a little town down
in central Illinois. There is college
at this little town, and a troop of college
boys came down the main street just as
the man was walking around and won
dering when his train would come. In
the center of the group, with a package
of books in his hand, came a youth with
straw-colored hair and big eyeglasses,
the late professor of chemistry at -
university.
The man who had known him caught
him by the hand, and the astonished
ex-professor walked aside with him.
Briefly he told his story: I'm going
to college here" he said. Its only a
little town, and only about so students,
but here am-and like it,"
The man who had known him tried
to fathom the mystery, but the eX-pro-
fessor shook his head. II don't know
Why he said. Il was visiting here for
the summer-there seemed to be fas-
cination about the place, and threw
everything away to become collage
boy once more. I can't tell you the rea-
son, for don't know myself. L haven't
any special study, but simply do as the
rest of the class do. No, don't know
what l shall do when I graduate
haven't thought that far ahead"
1t was train time, and the man from
the city hurried away. AS he went up the
street he looked back and saw the
young man, who was professor in a
great city and is now a college boy in a
little town, waving his hand in a last
good-by.-C Chicago News.

To live for all mankind!

You brought such joys such sorrows keen,
Such mingled pain and ecstasy,
l. cannot lightly let you go;
But pause awhile to shed tear
That you should lie so low, old Year.
How bIithe you were when first we nett
A flying chorus round you sung,
The snowdrops peeped to see you pass,
And where your hasty foot you set
Deep violets and field daisies hung
Their trembling blossoms on the grass;
And hope, with swiftly-moving wing,
You brought to make eternal spring.
A grass-green kirtle next you wore,
And gathered wild-howers in the wood.
Sweet odors all around you stole
Forth from the chalice that you bore.
Knee-deep in tangled brakes you stood:
The red sun cast an aureOle
About your golden head, old Year,
And that glad vision brought me cheer.
Laid close against your 11eaving breast, !.
And crowned with purple grapes, you
came.
I marked the brown and stubby plain,
marked the forests waving crest,
With tufts and branches all aflame.
With every feature grown more dear,
kOfed you daily more, old Year.
AT last the solemn winter laid
It's diamond crown upon your brow;
The icieles hung on the caves;
And deep within the beechen glade
The bare trees in the blast did bow
Their heads all shorn of crisp, brown
leaves.
You taught me how old age might be
Made grand by simple majesty.
Now CARRIED and silent for the tomb,
You lie before me still and white.
With burning tears I say: "Good-by,"
And take from out the darkened room
The happy hopes that once were bright,
In guise of tender memory.
What most was precious cannot die,
Old Year, although so low you lie!

the library with their mother Add
the ages of the three and you will have
just so years. The last-the little one
was only eight, the second nine, but
the eldest, who was 10, restored the
equilibrium and made the average ten
years a head.
1t was the I'd of January, and the
room was filled with great picture
books with gilded edges, with dolls and
9TH toys. Martha, the eldest, seated
on a cushion, looked at book posed on
her mothers knee. The knees of a
mother serve as a table, a chair or a
refuge to little girls; even when they
grow big, very big, they are not
ashamed to climb them-perhaps when
they wish to tease-and does their
mother ever find them too heavy?
The second daughter was counting
the plates of wonderful porcelain din
ner set, which she had spread upon the
floor. 1t was no longer a full set, how
ever, for she had broken three of the
plates since morning.
The little one, instead of playing,
Eulked in corner. Why does she suIl1
on the I'd of January? tits not natural,
with al these beautiful surroundings.
And the other two sisters are listening
to every noise outside, and start toward
the door when the bell rings. Can they
be hoping for more gifts2
Yes; gift which they long for most
evidently, which they have seen in their
dreams for two weeks, gift promised
them by friend who has known them
all their lives, who loves them with all
his heart.
A little while before New Years he
had called them to him and said:
''Whatshan give you for New Years ''
They had expected the question and
had an answer ready. With one voice
and as one man they made answer:
IAN indestructible doll"
"An indestructible doll?' he repeat
ed. 'T will remember it. You shall
each have your indestructible doll"
ooh, no!'' cried Jeanne, 'sthey would
be too small; we want one, only one
but big one, as tall as this, as tall as
Yvonne.''
'But are there any?"
~Yes, indeed; we've seen them"
"And you viii all play with the same
doll?"
Eyes, replied Martha, the eldest. 81
shall be grandmother, Jeanne the
mother and Yvonne the aunt"
''What charming family! You shall
have your indestructible doll, my dears
ms tall as this, early in the morning, OF
New Years day"
But on New Years day, neither in the
morning or the evening, did the indie
structible doll arrive.
at seems to be the invisible doll, not
the indestructible doll,'' said then
mother, who herself felt the chagriT
and disappointment of her children
How could the good friend have forgot
ten them so? 1t was extraordinary fol
him. If he were still in Paris she might
write to him and say: us it possible
you are keeping the doll to play with 2

But he had gone to spend New Years


day with his mother in the country.
But as Jeanne on this I'd of January
broke her fourth plate the bell rang.
Martha left her book, Jeanne her din
ner set, Yvonne her corner, and all
three in row waited anxiously. The
good friend appeared. They rush at
him, embracing him, perhaps little
absent-mindedly, looking all around
him. Of course he has the baby; per-
haps he is dragging it by a limb. No,
he is alone-quite alone; nothing in his
pockets, nothing behind him.
Martha and Jeanne, being big girls,
made faces, but did not dare to cry, but
the little one, who had not yet &C
quired a respect for conventionalities
could not help it and began: "And the
indestructible doll?'
''Well, are you pleased with it? Is it
large enough?'
Astonished and perplexed, they look
at him; at their mother, who says:
"Your baby must have stopped on the
way, for she has not arrived. You don't
know what a life these children have
led me-"
''What? I bought her day before yes
terday evening, and they promised TO
send her yesterday morning
"You must have given the wrong adj
dress''
''Not at ALL"
''Then there is some mistake"
Probably. Give me half an hour,
children, and I will bring your baby
back again, dead or alive"

children's faces. Yvonne pouted no
longer, but helped Jeanne to break her
plates. Ten minutes elapsed, then an
other ring at the bell. The good friend
could not have returned so soon; it was
probably some visitor. No, the maid
entered and said: "There is a man who
wishes to speak to madame"
"What does he want?"
"He did not say, but it seemed to be
something very important"
"Where is hep"
"In the reception room"
every well. will speak to him."
She rose, went out Of the parlor,
leaving the door open, and advanced
toward the stranger VINO was waiting
there. He was man of 40 years, with
a sweet, sad smile, his bearing was
modest, self-respecting.
''What do you wish? What have you
10 say to me?"
Madame, want to explain to you,
but it will be little long"
"Go on, am listening"
So, with a trembling voice, which
gradually grew stronger, speaking
quickly, very quickly, as if he were in a
hurry to get through:
MADAME, last year at this time was
clerk in banking house. My salary
enabled me to live and support my wife
and two little girls, and as the house in
which I worked seemed prosperous,
and the greater part of the employees
placed their savings there, did as they
did. I gave all my savings and 5000
francs which had invested. In the
course of the year the house stopped
payments, dismissed it's employees and
closed it's doors. / had lost not only
what possessed, but also my place."
He stopped, took breath, and with his
eyes lowered, twisted his soft hat with
nervous fingers, and continued: II

allow himself to be discouraged when
he has wife and little children. be-
