A Wide-Awake and Handsome Pa

The New York Tribune has produced
in its Tri Weekly edition II newspaper
which is certainly attracting the atten-
ton of INTEL gent readers far and wide.
Within the past 10 or II years pictures
rave gained large place among the
contents of many newspapers. In some
cases they are inserted merely to amuse.
The Tribune mIloys pictures in a
sound and sensible although inoSt en-
tertaining, way, as legitimate illustra-
tions of the tews, by meaus of which il
gives vivid idea of many things which
could not he described in words. TIE
Tribune also prints spirited cartoons,
many of which are capital hits on poll
| lies and politiciar We doubt if there
is "A better or handsomer general news
and family paper in the United States
th1n the New York T,i Weekly Tribune,
and it is of intere- to remark that that
newspaper has increased eight times in
its circulation within the past year.
The Tribun- has consistent record as
the particular champion of thriving
home industries, settlement of the pub
lie lands and protection to American
business interests. and is always an in
teresticg and readable publication. No
printed matter cf any kind can he taken
into the family, for general reading, of
any higher value than The Tribune. IL
is an inspiration to the young, a reliance
TO the mature, a source of entertainment
and instruction tp all. 1t keeps pace
with the times, and in the second half
century of it's existence is as young and

1901.

Tuesday next will ush-r in the first
year of the twentieth century. The us
ual New Year pledges as to conduct
and habit will be made. Looking back
over the old year We can see our mis-
takes and let US hope we may profit by
them. To Missouri-and especially
Holt county, the year 1900 has been
profitable and prosperous one. Every
citizen can proudly discuss the general
prosperity of our government and its
people. The pride of living during the
war with Spain to free her uniustly
burdened colonies from their yoke is
great indeed. The way 10 which we re-
membered the Maine is history now.
Peace and its enjoyment is our lot this
New Years Eve and well should We pre-
pare to enjoy it.
To the aged and those who have
passed the meridian of life we have no
advice to tender. But TO the young
man The SENTINEL desires to say a
word. Young man be careful of your
appetite aud your expenditure. BE tenn,
perate in all things. Live within your
income whether il be great or small and
save something OF what you earn. There
is q rainy day coming sometime sure
and you should be prepared for 1t.
Don't speculate in any degree, and above
all things work. Work early and work
late and work intelligentiy. Don't be
come a grind and don't think for a
moment that the world owes you a lIv
ing. 1t DIES not and it will not return
you one unless you earn it. If you have
saved nothing SO far begin with the
ushering in Of the new century. Let
the closing of the first year of the twen,
tieth century find you farther along and
above the station on the ladder you now
occupy. Read The SENTINEL and re,
member it wishes you and every citizen
of this magnificen county, our beautiful
city and imperial state, a happy, pros
porous New Year.
