matter of life insurance. He had one
policy OF 1900 in the Northwestern
Mutual Relief Association Of Madison
payable to Mrs. Black and another
policy of $1,000 in the Marshalltown,
Iowa, Mutual association, payable to
his children.
We are sorry to say that reports
from Judge Carter since he went to
Madison are not as favorable as could
be wished. Many of our readers al
ready know that the excitement and
mental and physicalstrain incident to
an active law practice, especially dur
ing court time. were more than Judge
Carter was able to stand and that it
was found necessary for him to be
stopped in the midst of his court
work and taken to Madison for treat
ment. His trouble is both mental
and physical. He himself feared the
effect of exciting law work, but his
great ambition to practice influenced
him to make the attempt which re-
suited so disastrOusly. 1t is hoped
that few weeks rest and medical
treatment will completely restore the
Judge.

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS

This Saturday night 10; only ends
another week but 1t begins new
year. We must now write it 1898 and
make no mistake. for the old year is gone
with all its Sorrows and failures and 30
forth and so icrth-you know the rest
and another year has begun With all its
bright prospects and so forth and 80 forth.
This Saturday we must be really sorry
Tor all the mean things We did during
1897 and in earnest turn over a new leai.
Ah. see the fine resolutions on its clean
page already. How easy it Is to make
resolutions, anybody can do it. from a
king to tramp; but how hard 1t Is to
keep them, everybody breaks them from
king to a tramp. Some break them
more than others, twice as much, per-
haps ten times as much. People who
rely on their own strength do not keep
them very long for fact. The truth is,
as whole New Years resolutions are
remarkably weak aaairs, like an ieiele
that breaks or melis. They are weak
because they have been put of, and put
off resolutions are made OF putty July
l is as good as January for resolutions
but the best time is always now 1t gen.
orally has some foundation. Hyou have
been foolish enough to wait until Jan
uary by all means you had better re-
solve now to live better than not at all.
