operate concert given at Schwarzburg-
sondershausen, occupying prominent
place on the programme with dIstin-

commenting on the performance says:

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF,
The Making and Keeping of Good
Resolutions.

The Making and Keeping of Good
Revolutions.
Inevitable as the New Year itself is
the crop of good resolutions that spring
up with it's advent. And often the
question arises as to the value or de-
STABILITY of all these resolves. AS far
back as the days of Deborah and Barak,
it was scornfully asked of what pur-
pose were great resolves of heart if
these resulted in no action, but were
dissipated in mere talk, and dissolved
into thin air when brought to the test?
And it is as easy to-day to make resolu-
tons and not keep them as when the
Reubenites remained behind at the
sheep folds.
To make good resolutions is undoubt-
eddy good thing, but to make, and then
break them, cannot fail to have de-
moralizing effect upon one. Not that
it is always, or, perhaps ever, possible
for US to live up to our own highest pur-
poses, lot that because this is so, we
should limit ourselves to low ideals. Far
be it from us, we must aim as high as
possible; falling then, we fail at least
nearer the top. But to keep on making
resolutions and allowing these easily
to lose their hold upon US, to let slip the
occasion when we see it, because we are
'too tired" or in "too great hurry"
or haven't time" or positively don't
care" and then to feel that we can
make these same resolutions all over
again when the mood serves, this 10
pernicious. For each time the resolve
is let go means that much less self-r4-
spect, that much less tenaeity and ix-
tegrity of purpose, that much less
power of holding on, for the record is
broken, and the great resolve has
turned out to be a mere dead letter.
The trouble is in being content with
making the resolutions. This is only
the beginning, and behind and beneath
it must be the strong determination TO
keep to the resolve, to let it lift our life
to higher level. 1t is not only the
turning over of the new leaf that rs
necessary, it is in making the contents
of that leaf all that they should be UNI
til the time comes to turn the next,
that the effort consists.-Washingto
Home Magazine.

FARM HELPS.

A correspondent of Hoard's Dairy
man cured a case of caked udder by
fastening the cow in rigid stanchion
and turning in hungry calf twice q
day for ten days.
If more attention was given to the
study of the small matters of every day
life, learning to turn to account every
thing that comes in the way, we would
hear less OF farming don't pay"

that gift of Cameron's?'' I inquired,

''Why, how in the world did you find

Bill Filed.

A few of the bOndholders of the
Sequachee Valley Coal & Iron Co.
have filed a bill IN the ChancerY
Court to foreclose the mortgage ex-
ecuted to secure the bonds and
also to wind up and distribute
tho assets of the Company among its
creditors. We consider this an un-
fortunate proceeding likely to result
in prolonged and expensive litigation
to the detriment of all the bondhold-
ers and stockholders.
The officers of the Company have
ever been ready to do everything
within their power to protect the in
terests of all parties and have thus
far acted under the advice and sug-
gestions of large majority of the
hondhOlders. Mr.. Melcner, the Treas
urer, who is familiar with all the
Company affairs is in Sequachee and
will remain to assist in protecting the
interests of the Co. BondLolders
cannot do better than to place their
cause in his hands.
