There Is one peculiar feature that ac-
paradoxical as 1t may sound, will dawn
at midnight this evening. 1t is the fact
that quite respectable number of re-
spectacle people believe that we are about
to Jump into the twentieth century.
1t Is this aspect OF the case that has
plunged us into gloon. It hasn't occurred
before for a-hHndred years, and. while it
cannot be trathfuIly called monotonous,
1t is. at least iaggravating. If not debit

train was just, starting and they were In

But every cloud has it's silver lining
Beyond the deep gloom of the twentieth
century controversy we can look out
upon something bright and glittering in
the new year about to make it's debut
The old year has been a history making
epoch. In the distant future the pes

an improved typewriting machine and say
things about us, some good. others ran

SO many literary people always ready to

literary big wig has Solemnly and OWL
lshly observed within the past decade
that there was less opportunity nova
days for the ambitious young man than
when our nature was young. BoshI Cir

And within a few brief hours the old
year will be a closed book The record
of our lives for that year will have been
made up and passed over to the Great
Auditor of all earthly accounts. Father

upon us with all It's glorious possibiH-
ties. Ring out the old, ring in the
new" Let us resolve to cut deeper into
the granite rock of adversely that we
may gain firmer foothold for the future.
Whatever advancement we have made
during the past twelve months will add
to our momentum in the days to come.
Many will fail and some succeed, and the
young man of patient endeavor is quite
likely to be numbered among the some.

where things are "given away" and bar
gains" always to be obtained. what are
they but hugo lies from bottom TO top7
We have said that reverence for the
aged Is wanting at thu present time,
and there Is certainly not too much chiv-
airy for women as such; men will gladly
make room In a railway carriage or
tram car for one who Is young and pref
ty, but how is It with a woman that is
neither? Men moving in what Is called
good society treat women with impunity
In way that would have gained them a
whipping, or rather an ass-whlp-
ping fifty years ago. 1t is only too true
that these men have. in many cases, been
spoiled by fast girls. who, having no re-
spect for themselves, did not exact IT
from them. If young women have mot
the slightest objection. and rather like
1t" men will smoke In their faces, ap-
pear before them in any or scarcely any
clothes, call them by their Christian
names, say words and refer to things
which should be nameless. and in all 9TH
er ways illustrate the truth that men
respect women as. and only as women
respect themselves. Bad manners are
said to be prevalent in connection with
public and private entertainments. There
are men who seem to think that an in
vitation to party is superfuous for
mality. They go to large brushes
without being asked. hoping to escape
notice In the crowd. That there is safety
in numbers they are quite convinced; and
even If they were asked: Friend, how
earnest thou IN hither?" they would not
have the grace to remain speechless, but
would give some very impertinent an
swer. And when they do receive an in
vitation. young men of the period leave
1t unanswered for days IN hopes some
thing better may turn up.
Never are their manners more appar-
ent than when they go to a
party They take no notice OF
the hostess and her daughters
II asked to dance with lady or
bring her in to supper. they say: Let
me see her, as though she were a horse,
and then perhaps make the excuse: I'm

reason to q Hke-minded companion

instances are adduced by those who think
that we are losing our manners to prove
the truth Of their opinion.

DO you propose to swear off drinking?

FORTY BELOW.

Just pity the householder who
Must suffer now a thing or two;
He rises up from bed at dawn
And hastes his frosted garments on
His shiyering frame; his fingers blows
That he may button up his clothes,
And seeks to bathe-but nothing flows
From the pitcher-the waters froze.
Then swears he just a little swear
And stumbles down the frosty stair,
Down sinks upon his frosted knees
And blows in vain an icy breeze
When he would start the kitchen fire.
But makes no blaze; in haste and ire
To get the kerosene he goes
But finds. alas! the oil is froze.
Dear. dear! 'Twould drive man to
drink. -..... --.
He thinks a kindly nip or wink
From the decanter might warm up
The inner man. He gets a. cup,
Unto the sideboard moves in haste
And turns the jug with care, lest waste
Ensue, and turns and turns-naught flows,
He finds again the liquors froze.
Now see, with anger in his heart
Again he seeks the fire to start.
He whites shavings nice and fine
And lays them in symmetric line.
From out his pocket brings a match,
Essays IN vain to scratch and scratch.
His stiffened fingers then he blows
To warm-and finds his breath IS frOZe.
He leaps into the air and seeks
To SWear-the frosty floor but sqUeaks.
Tho opened wide hts mouth, no word
Or sound or utterance can be heard
He waves his arms and stamps the floor,
And leaps and waves and stamps once
more.
So wild his anger. for he knows.
He cannot swear-his voice is frOZee
