Let us let profit by our past eX
perieuce and the experience OF
others and in the future avoid
the rocks and pitfalls and thus
make our lives nObler and bet,
ter. Let us strive to so live
that when we are called TO the
great unknown the world will
mourn. We were not given Il
place on earth for ourselves
alone but to help make the
world purer and better. Have
we done our duty? If not, why
not? Stop and think over the
past. What have we doue tor
mankind? We ma not have
any worldly goods and yet be
more helpful to mankind than
all the millionaireS OF America.
Wealth does not make the man
or woman. Character does.
Every one Of us may have a
good character. All may not
gain worldly goods. Then
strive to gain Il good character.
Let Us live less for self and
more for others.

This is a moment for retiec-
ton. We are drawing near the
close of another year. In a few
short days more 1899 will be
istory. 1t has been to all of
us a year of pleasures and of
sorrows. We have all made
many mistakes in the past,
They cannot be changed now.

and desperate intent.
But by and by Reyburn's
mind cleared to Joe's last sen
tence. Only gossip. OF course
that was all; but Joe was mean
to hash it over, to him of all
persons, aud in such an insinu-
ating manner, too. Well, he
would go on to Rockland now if
he met her complete bridal par.
tv: he would see for himself,
aud if it was all true, why, he
would not go home that night,
and perhaps GladbroOk would
never see him again.
AT Rocklanl he had only 4
few minutes to wait between
trains. and already the home.
bound one was waiting on Il
side track. Purchasing his tick
ct, he ensconced himself where
he could plainly see the passen
gers leave the cross train.
Now Tor the bridal party, at
least the bride and groom" he
said, trying to be jocular with
himself, although his face was
very white ard his mouth
twitched nervously.
At the cry train, train"
everybody began to hustle
about. Friends, baggage and
good-bys were mixed up indis-
criminately, but Leigh was very
still He could hear his anX-
iouS heart beat out its suspense
in great suffocating leaps, as
the fateful train Numbered in.
Sure enough, there was Miss
Summerfield; and the fine look
ing young man who helped her
llight also took charge of her
aggage.
Heaven have mercy! Were
gossip and Joe Antrim right,
lfter all? But pshaw! any friv-
)lous fellow traveller would
nave done as much.
Notwithstanding this plausi
ole thought, Leigh slipped into
the home bound coach like a
thief, taking the corner seat in
the rear end of the car.

The man felt a tremor of hope

door and leaned her head on

air for a bride, thought the man
IN the corner. He could not see
ler face, but some way he felt
that this New Years eve was
not what she wished. o, was
she in trouble, too? He had
half Il mind to go to her; the
seat directly behind her was
proyidentially empty; he could
whisper Marie" over the back
Of her seat when his courage

At the next stop he took ad-

The time is near when the
date for the Democratic county
primary should be set, Some
believe that it should not
be later than the first of April,
while others think it should be
later While we have no par.
tiCular choice as to the time,
we do say that it should be held
either early enough to permit
such of the candidates as may
be farmers to put in crop after
the primary is over or: or it
should be late enough for them
to begin their canvass after
their crops are laid by. Then,
the voters, as we'll as the can
didateS, are interested IN tins
matter and they, too, nave
rights w hich must be consider
ed, and the date for the primary
must be set for such time as will
give the farmers time to con-
slider the merits Of the various
candidates. They must have
this time when they are not
busily engaged in their farm
work. Each candidate should
go before the people on his
own merits and the county can
vass should be free from any en-
tangling alliance with state
and national matters. The
DEMOCRAT hopes to have the
of our people on this
by next week. What
date do you think best for the
county primary?

He stopped and looked at her
in such pitiful. hungry-hearted
way. 1t was all out now, this
confession of his. He meant to
make it at the risk of every
t hing before his heart failed
him-and he had done so.
OF course she could do what
she pleased with it, and him,
too; he had staked and would
win, or lose, all. Putting his
elbow on the barrier and lean
ing Il little toward her, he wait
ed for her to speak. And her
face was Il study. Presently
she gasped out: Then you
aren't to be married tonight"
The interrogation snapped
the last thread holding Leigh
Reyburn's great love IN reserve.
Marie, darling! Could you
did you think %, Heaven! as
if l could love anyone but you!
O, Marier'
The whiteness of his face was
terrible to see; but it all dawned
upon her at once.
lilo, Leighn-she put
out both her hands. and two
great tears stole down her
cheeks to finish the sentence
more eloquently than words.
When the train stopped at
Gladbrook, a very happy coup
lie alighted. And out across
the moonlit snow, fl ON the bel
fry bar of the gray stone church
came the merry chime of bells:
Ring out the old, ring in the new:
The year is dying; let it 60"
Ring in the new" said
Leigh, drawing her arm through
his. THE years of misunder-
standing are dead; let them go,
dearest.

softly and happily.
And Joe Antrim laughed in
his sleeve, and said to the
bright New Year morning: Il

tons right by bit of strategy.

turned over to the National

flood the country and initiate

 Pure water, clear water, and plenty of 1t is Monticello's proud boast, today The artesian well is at last finished, the strainer in and the deluge has come and come to stay. The capacity of the well is between 10000 and 200, 900 gallons of water per day and the water is soft and free from mineral. It is big bonanza for Monticello, and the often repeated tale that Monticello has bad water will now be heard no more, forever. The taxing district committee will go to work at once and put in pipes and run the water from the well to the square and to the homes of sub- scribers, and then the water prob lem for our town will be solved for all time to come. There has never been but one thing in the way of our town, as great health resort, and that was that the surface wa ter was bad; but now that this trouble has been obviated by d well, over 700 feet deep, we may reasonably expect hundreds of peo- pie from the low-lands east of us to make our town their summer homes. With good schools, fine churches and high, rolling coun- try, there is no place better adapt ed for healthful and pleasant homes than Monticello.
