Miss Lizzie Smith, a former teacher
in Miller, writes entertaining iy of her
new location at Albuquerque, New
Mexico, where she is now teaching:
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, JAN, 6, 1900.
We have had an unusually warm
and pleasant winter l am told, even
for New Mex. This is truly a land Of
sunshine. but it is altogether too dry
and dusty to suit me. The dryness
OF the climate is wha t makes this
part of n. M. so beneficial to the
hundreds OF health-seekers who come
here to spend the winter, but as 1
did not come for that lpose, do
not appreciate it as | otherwise
might. S. Oak. has much more
exalted place in my estimation than
N. NJ. Yours truly.
ELIZABETH SMITH.

Rev. Carson continues his meet ings
at the Presbyterian church through
this week. He preached a very able
sermon Sunday evening to a large
congregation, taking for his text the
earnestness with which Zacheus
sought Christ; where He was to be
found; to see the wonderful man who
was performing such wonderful
things; and demonstrated to his
hearers that the lowly Nazarene is
continuing to this day in the spirit
and word performing the same won
ders for the benefit of humanity.

church, assisted in the services.

Yes, as some one has said, there
are climates and climates, bat where
is there anything to be compared to
the positively elegant weather of this
great boundless, expanding north
west? Of course, it is not always
so. For instance, three years ago
on the 18th day OF January we had
had about Is consecutive days of
winter, with plenty of snow and cold.
But the rs days just passed could
scarcely be called winter, There
was a little "skift" ofsnow for Christ
mas, but last week that melted off
and the ground is bare. We.expe ct
some good snug weather yet, but to
escape it stlentirely up TO this
time, is really phenomenal in this
northern latitude. 1t must be large
ly due to the dryness of this section.
And although often complained OF
in the past. it is almost certain that
drouths and dry weather are really
a blessing in disguise. If we had
continuous moisture in summer,
would wenot have continuous SHOWS
in winter. And if we had this coun-
try would scarcely be habitable.
Guess the thing is arranged about
right after all, but it takes long
while for US to find it out.

The man who ear put in these long
winter evenings at home with his
family gathered about him trying to
entertain and improve each other
ought to behappy. About the home
hearth is where the children's ambi-
tions, habits and inclinations may
be shaped. Who can have more real
comfort or enjoyment than the man
who hangs his busine So cares upon
his outside door mob, and goes into
his home determined to devote this
time to the happiness of his family +?

Now comes the crucial test OF a
good New Years resolution. 1t is
battered at by the humorist; the
old temptations are tugging Mt it |;
motives may be misunderstood ;
actions will be uninterrupted. But
these are the mountains to pass !;
these the obstacles to overcome.
And vet that which is easily done is
scarcely worth the doing. 1t is a
strong perseverance in the right
direction in spite of obstacles that
marks the noble character-that
even eventually commands esteem
now withheld. Do not let "the new
ly turned leaf fly back |" Patiently

The Goth century question is COM
monty conceded to be settled now to
begin Jan. LIST 1901. The prepond-
erance of evidence and logic is oil
that way. One very simple and
clever illustration is that if a man
owed you $1,000 you would not take
1880 for the debt-that is if he
wanted to pay you the full debt-be-
cause it requires 1900 full dollars
to make it complete. So with the
century, which requires 1900 full
years to complete it.
