JANUARY FIRsrLINes.
Some Things to Ponder and to BE Thanx-
full FOR.

fui EOr.
The best time to rejoice, to feel great
satisfaction. is not so much at the opening
of the New Year as at the close of the old
when we know what we have gained.
what we have achieved and what we have
reason to be thankful for
The exercise of memory. however graft
flying the things we remember. never af-
f0rds such pleasure as the exercise of hone
which pictures everything that might be-
bnt has not been. The New Year. there
fore, always appeals to US as promising
the realization Of the dearest wishes of or
heart and is in consequence exuberantIy
welcome.
The profuse distribution Of gifts on
New Years day was still the custom in
England during Elizabeth's reign. and
nearly her entire wardrobe as well as her
jewelry was supplied in the form of pres
ents. If the women Of today were rs
bountifully furnished as was the vastly
oyerrated queen, Jan. l would be more
precious in their eyes than all the holidays
together, but the present makers would
be irretrieyably bankrupt.
In medieval times women enjoyed being
kissed on New Years day under the mis-
tletoe. The modern, the contemporaneous
woman, is not particular about the mistIe-
toe or the day either. Time, place and the
man being given, she relishes kissing gen
orally.
Till within a few years the women of
New York were in the habit of receiving
their friends in town on New Years day
in grand style Now those claiming TO be
fashionable fly On that day to the country,
presumably to avoid their foes-in other
words, to get rid of bo-es, who are socially
the most formidable of enemies.
The Chinese at home gamble on New
Years night to a prodigious extent. In
Wall street New Workers gamble enor-
mously on most of che other days of the
year
The good resolutions made on Jan.
have generally proved to be bad perform
ances before the end of February.
The men who are continually turning
over new leaf" on New Years day are
apt to forget the leaf soon after, or that
they have turned the leaf over at all.
The headaches that are felt the next
morning after New Years may usually be
attributed to treating the good resolu-
tions they have made on that day.
Many Americans outside of New York
so detest the fulfllment of what it called
social duties that they would be delighted
to see widely extended the French custom,
which releases Parisians from the obliga-
ton of making New Years calls in con
sideration of their sending small presents
instead. They would give literally to be
entirely exempt from the whole business
of visiting" be the date Jan. or any
other. They would much rather pay out
than go out.

You Must Not Waste Time.

''Dost thou love life?' asked Benjamin
franklin. "Then do not squander time,
for time is the stuff life is made of. y
Once when Franklin was in business as
printer and bookseller in Philadelphia
a man came into his place and dawdled
about, examining the books exposed for
sale AT last, having made up his mind
as to what no wanted, he inquired the price
of the book chosen and the clerk said 81.
Cant you take less than that?' said
the man in feigned surprise. Zone dol
lar is the price" said the clerk.
But the would be purchaser was not
satisfied. 81 want to see Mr.. Franklin
about this" he said MIR. Franklin is
very busy in the pressroom, said the
clerk. But l must see him" said the
man.
So the clerk called Franklin, and of him
the man inquired the price of the book
"One dollar and quarter" was the
philosophers reply. but your clerk
offered it to me for 81" protested the
man. True" said Franklin. land L
could better have afforded to have taken
81 than to have left my work at this
time. -
well said the man, what is the very
best you can do in making price on this

Franklin. The mans eyes grew wide

have better afforded to take that sum
then than $l.50 now The man paid
the price without any further quarreling
He had learned a lesson that Franklin
wished to teach-that time is too valuable
