6he Neso Year Npfrif.

The return of New Years day in
vites many people to the most somber
reflections. Undoubtedly most of us
can find abundant occasion for these
but there is such a thing as pushing
determination and self-condemna-
ton to the point OF Encouragement
The best temper with which We can
enter upon the new year is that of
faith, faith in God and faith in our
selves through His help. 1t is about
as certain as anything can be that the
new year will bring us new expert
ences. Our courage, our capacity for
endurance, our steadiness of character
and power of resistance is to be tested.
At the end of the year we are going
. be nobler men and women than we
Ire today, or we shall have deterier-
d morally, and forever afterward
.ere will be narrowing opportunities.
While we think of the latter alterna-
tive it is we'll to strengthen our hearts
by the former. Let US believe that we
are not going to fail and we have taken
a long step towards success. When
another New Years day comes around
we are going to be able to reckon solid
gains in character won through the
trials and temptations and emergen-
cies OF the years experimentation

Stretch a white cloth or a large
sheet of white paper on the wall in
a darkened room, and opposite to it
place a small table on which there is
a lighted candle. Put book or some
similar object between the candle and
the cloth so that it will cut off the
light from the latter, leaving it COM
paratively dark.
When you are ready to show your
pictures, hold a mirror sideways be-
fore the candle at such an angle that
the reflection will be thrown on the
cloth. The pictures that you show will
be really silhouettes, and you will need,
therefore, little figures cut out of stiff
paper Hold one of them between the
candle and the mirror and its sharply
defined shadow will be thrown on the
cloth. By moving it forward you may
make it appear to walk across the
cloth. This effect will be ali the bet
ter if you make the mirror fast so that
you may use both hands in moving the
figures.

NEW ROCKEFELLER RANCH.
Negotiated for in Kiowa and Clark Coun-
ties, Kansas.


Wichita, Kas., Dec. 24.-It is report
ed here that Frank Rockefeller, of
Cleveland, Ohio, is negotiating for the
purchase of 40, 900 acres of land in
Kiowa and Clark counties, with view
of stocking il with horses and high
grade cattle, sheep and hogs, especially
horses, for which he sees profitable
future. The land is along Soldier
Creek, the fastest running water in the
state, and which is fed by great many
springs, many of them of an artesian
character. At present, he own the
land on both sides of the creek for over
seven miles, but the area is too small
for his plans. He has but few horses
on his present ranch, but they have so
demonstrated the adaptability of the
country for giving bone and wind to
their kind that Mr.. Rockefeller is anx-
ious to experiment on a larger scale.
1t is also said that he will experiment
with poultry and animals of various
kinds, including some of the wild ami
mails of the plains. At present his
ranch is stocked with high grade Here
ford and Shorthorn cattle and sheep.

Iroauois Legend of the Pleiades.


All the children must look for that
pretty little cluster of stars twinkling
in the eastern sky early in the evening.
Once upon a time, it is said, these
stars were seven little Indian boys,
who ate their supper of corn and beans
every evening on the top of little
hill. After their simple feast, the
sweetest singer sang for them, while
they danced to the music of his voice.
One evening these seven little boys
asked their mother TO give them some
thing different for supper, as they were
very tired of corn and beans, but the
mother would not grant their request.
So the poor little Indians danced with
out having had any supper, and pres
emily their sad hearts and feet grew
whirling away to the sky, where they
were changed into seven bright stars.
One star does not shine as brightly as
the rest, and that is Merope, the sweet
singer, who is homesick and wishes to
return to his home on earth.
That's the Singer, their sad stories
say;
That's the Singer-let us pity him.
Oh, the little Singer (you can see
He's not shining as the others are).

Wished he didn't have to be star.

KANSAS CREAM ERlES.


Farmers Within Range of Them Pay Cash
at Stores.
Topeka, Dec 24.-Secretary F. d.
Coburn has issued pamphlet report
showing the value of milk products.
The creameries reporting for only q.
part of the year average between seven
and eight months. During this time
ten creamery companies received S.
$685. 31 pounds of milk; seven compan-
les report a production of 1898, $50
pounds of butter; four companies re-
port product of 5s5,s3s pounds of
cheese, and then 10 companies report
disbursement to their patrons of $685.
37734.
These figures probably represent but
a small fraction of the total product of
the state, and yet, notwithstanding the
large production, Kansas creameries
cannot begin to supply the demand
for good butter and cheese. The cry
ing need of our Kansas creameries is
more milk.
1t is noticeable fact that where the
creamery industry is well developed
the farmers of that community are
prosperous, happy and contented. Mer-
chants testify to the fact that, since
the introduction of creameries, store
bills are paid in cash instead of run
ming from one year to another.

she cared for me when 1 met her in

eyes full of tears, on the very morning
after you had told Marie, her dearest
friend, that we were to be married in
q month
"Humph, that girl would cry about
anything; I've known her to cry when
the villain in the play was killed-as If
a villain could expect anything else in
the last act. But as soon as saw Dick
that morning I knew that he knew it.
Why, his necktie had slipped around
under one ear and his voice, as he
wished me happy New Year, was so
sad, that felt guilty, though my con-
science told me that had not encour-
aged him."

friend OF more mature years says that
she would be perfectly happy if she
mad all the money she wanted to spend
as she liked. Another desires fame,
another social position. And SO we
might go On asking and finding out
that almost every one has a different
definition for happiness.
If the young lad were allowed to
follow his own sweet will and surfeit
himself with sweets and late hours. l
think the result would be anything but
happy. AS for wealth, who can blame
anyone for wishing for all that one
cares to spend, and especially a wom-
an to whom a separate income is the
exception rather than the rule. 1t is
the spending of it which decides the
happiness or unhappiness OF the
possessor. 1 do not believe that any
one was ever really happy who used
wealth merely to crafty selfish am
bitions
Fame. too, is good thing to pos
sess, but how many who have gained
this high pinnacle will tell you that
it brings happiness Social position is
also something after which there is
much striving. Yet when the coveted
place is reached it is so often found
to be barren, and happiness has no
resting place there. Social position
brings heavy responsibilities with it,
and social duties are hard and labori-
Gus without the happy results that
follow labor in more worthy causes.
1t seems, then, that there must be
some special way to happiness not
easily found There is, but it is easy
enough to be seen by all who care
to follow its winding way. Wiser
heads than mine found out long ago
that only in trying to make others
happy is real happiness ever gained
for oneself.
So in wishing our friends happy
New Year, we really obligate ourselves
to do all that we can to make the
wish come true; and for this reason
the words should never be spoken idly.
or used as mere matter of form. On
the other hand, to be sincere in the
greeting and to do what the words i'm
ply. is certain to bring happiness to
all.
And now, let US go on to the next
word in tho analysis, new
Everybody likes new things, I'M

that appearance in this world goes a
long way toward success. Under the
inspiration OF knowing that one is
well-dressed often one has done his
best and the key note of success has
been touched. 1t is human nature
that womankind should love pretty
new dresses, new bonnets and dainty
surrounding, SO let no one accuse her
of vanity for desiring them.
