her dearest friend, that we were to be mar
ried in month"
"Humph, that girl would cry about any
thing; I've known her to cry when the vii
lain in the play was killed-as if villain
could expect anything else in the last act,
But as soon as l saw Dick that morning 1
knew that he knew it. Why, his necktie
had slipped around under one ear and his
voice, as he wished me a happy New Year,
was so sad that felt guilty, though my
conscience told me that l had not encour-
aged him."
you've forgotten how you used to praise
the shape of his head"
AS if that meant anything! A girl only

She cannot find anything else to flatter him
about. lit means no more than it does
when she tells a small man that he re-
sembles Napoleon. But when 1 remem-
bered that you had once gone down on the
floor in your new trousers to pick up Dora's
handkerchief knew that had been cruelty
deceived. So when you reproached me
about Dick, L"
IT remember how badly I felt when she
replied to my New Years greeting with the
remark that happiness for her was over for
ever, And before could comfort her Miss
Marie came in and could only go sadly
away without telling her that should al
ways be brother to her"
"And poor Dick, I asked him if there
was anything could do for him; he re-
piled: Yes but just then the maid came
in with note for him, and he said he must
go at once-I think he wished to be alone
with his sorrow. Then you came in, and,
instead Of sharing my pity for him, you
accused me Of flirting with him!"
"I-er-don't remember that. But wasn't
it odd that before left you forever Miss
Marie should come in and tell us that Dora
and Dick were engaged! I've often won
dered how it happened that they decided
to console each other"
"And SO have I. Why, here is Marie now
perhaps she can explain. Sit down, Marie,
do. Tom and I are just going over old
times. Do you remember last New Years
day, and
and she was talking about it. She and
Dick quarreled last New Years Eve about
the date of their marriage, and almost
parted forever. They think you both must
have guessed it. I remember that Ton
was in the parlor with Dora when I rar
in on New Years morning to tell her Of
your engagement She had been on the
point of asking him to help her to make ur
with Dick. And when she told me about it
wrote him note telling him that be

Bribed by the Corporation.

The Speaker of the House of Repre-
Sentatives of the state of Michigan,
has two indictments hanging over him
for bribery. In one case he received
$4,000: in the other $4,000. Now
brother democrats don't let us simply
excuse and pass over the moral of this
crime, by saying he was a republican.
Let us recall the bribery of Judges
Barnard, and of two or three other
democratic Judges in New York in
Tweed'S time, and glance beneath the
surface for for moment and learn
the cause and contemplate the result
with reason and not passion. In New
York and in Michigan the corpora
tions had been given franchises which
the states should have retained as
public utilities for the benefit of all
the people, instead of surrendering
them for the sole benefit of the few.
Does any sane person imagine that
the corporations of Michigan would
have paid $4,000 in bride money, if
there had not been. an opportunity
with the legislation desired, to
recover from, the taxpayers of the
state, that sum with a large per-
Gentage of profit for the investment?
If the laws had to be submitted to
the people for approval by popular
vote, does anyone suppose the corpora
lions would bride legislators? And if
the state owned all corporate interests
which are public institutions. and
which it should own and controh in
the public interest there would be- no
occasion for tempting anyone, with
bride. Direct, instead of representa-
tive legislation, would cure many of
the evils inflicted upon; the people by
bad legislation and laws. No man
knows just what he might do with a
bride of $25, 1000. held out to him. Our
good brother Linn sold his man
hood for, one-half the fines to be made
from liquor prosecutions. What would
not such a man do for a bride of s26-
600 is fearful to contemplate. When
the state offers reward to bride tax
ers and perjurers don It kick at results.
unless you are prepared to remove the
cause. If the law had compelled the
legislature ofIllinois to submit to pop
ular vote of the citizens of Chicago
the 50-year franchise given to the
street railway of Chicago, does any
sane man suppose that corporation
would have poured half million dol
lars or any other sum into the lap of
Coy. Tanner, and of the legislature of
the state?

THE GLAD NEW YEAR.
Its Advent Is Marked by Various
Customs in Many Lands.

NH REattention ispaid to New Years
HW\\ in our national capital, Washing
u IL ton, than in any other city in the
United States. The state levee at the
white house is but the beginning of the
calling that continues throughout the aft
ernoon and well into the night in official
and private houses. In fact, the social
season is formally inaugurated on New
Years day. 1t is grand rallying day, and
men call then who never emerge from their
shell again during the year. Lists are
published in the newspapers of the houses
where receptions will be held, with the
names of the assisting women. The latter
often attract more callers than the hostess,
and newly arrived families are on the look
out for popular women for their receptions.
The affairs are conducted with lavish south
ern hospitality. Tables are loaded with
viands-real southern egg-nog or bowls of
Fish House punch mixed by well-guarded
formula, an heirloom in the family, is
served. 1t is gala day for Washington, and
it is well it comes but once year.
New Years day is made much of in
Europe, and in some countries its celebra.
ton is on more elaborate scale than
Christmas. Gifts are exchanged with reclS-
less abandon, recalling the days of feudal.
ism, when every landlord presented his ten.
ant with fat capon. An orange stuck with
cloves was the common gift of poor people,
Among the rich, gloves were popular pres
ent, and often sum of money, called glove
money, served as a substitute. When pins
were invented they took the place of gloves,
and every woman was proud of her collec.
ton of pins made from thorns, bone, silver,
gold or steel. The expression, pin money,
was originally used to designate the money
often presented in lieu of the pins for their
purchase. Under good Queen Bess the
custom of giving presents on New Years
was at it's high water mark, and the most
extravagant packages were distributed an
onymously with no inscription but verse
expressing greetings.
According to an old superstition, ones
luck for the year is dependent on the com.
plexion of the first man who calls. If he
is blonde, fate will be kind, but if a
dark-complexioned man steps over the
threshold first, sickness, trouble and fnan.
cial disaster are apt to step with him. So
firmly was this superstition implanted in
the mind of an elderly woman that she
made arrangements every year by which
her first caller was sure to be of a light
complexion.
The holiday revels in England end with
Twelfth Night. In America they are
drawn to close with the New Year
celebration. The stripping of the Christ.
mas tree, which properly takes place New
Years Eve, is frequently made the ex.
cuse for jolly party. There is very
likely to be package on the tree for
each one present, containing joke that will
be as good-natured as it is AMUSING.

Bishop Potters's Views.

Inc following is an extract from the
special correspondence from Manila
OF john t. McCutcheon to tie Chica-
go Record in an issue of recent date:
Bishop Henry G. Potter of New
York, who is now here, said it did not
require very protractad stay in the
Philippines to enable a traveller to dis
cover that the islands present grave
and Interesting prchnems. He claims
that the people are agile both mental
~ ana PHYSICAL =. He said the Eng
llsh and the G ermans had recognized
the richness of the country earlier
IMAM the americans, but that these
opportur. ltles for commercial and in
dustrf,h development are qualified
by TIE dangers to social order and to
tn e integrity of the family.
Regarding the rebellion he said:
s'The Filipinos can be conquered
and subdued by our armies. They can
be routed and scattered SO far as their
military forces are concerned, bu the
instinct of justice in them can not be
eXtinguished, whether by armies or
navies. 1t is to be hoped that it will
not be the office of the United States
to attempt to extinguish Them"
Bishop Potter said he was greatly
impressed by the general appearance
of the American troops, which was
such as to make one very proud OF

nor may one trench upon the other.
Leaving this line of suggestion, one is
led to the thought that these year posts Of.

upon what has been and what may be. Each
New Year day tells not only of the new,

Looking backward, what is the reckon

New Year is at hand. Let the accounting

but that he may gain strength for future

frailty of his being. He acts the better part
