The new leaf that very seldom gets
turned over is the one in the diary.
Some men claim that they see the
old year out and the new one in by
getting so drunk that they can't see
anything.
BY New Year the silver plating
wears off many Christmas present.
A good beginning is nalf the battle
except in the case Of keeping diary.
The new date is as hard to remem-
ber as the new leaf.
Even though the arctic explorer
never discovers the north pole he de-
serves credit, for he always keeps a
diary.
New Year gives us a chance to re-
ciprocate to those who unexpectedly
gave us present at Christmas.

in fit condition to swear off the next

'And poor Dick, asked him II there
was anything l could do for him; he
replied: 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 1t odd that before left You for
ever, Miss Marie should come in and
tell us that Dora and Dick were en-
gagged! I've often wondered how 1t
happened that they decided to console

Should Learn Work.

In recent address on Common
School Problems" President Draper
of the University of Illinois, said:
''There is undoubtedly very wide
spread feeling throughout the land that
the work of the elementary schools has
grown unreasonably complex and con-
fusing; that 1t is being subordinatcd to
some interests or theories which are
not of general concern. 1t Is not certain
that the tendencies of recent years are
wholly wrong. The fact probably is
that the trend of events is good enough.
but is being carried to an unreasonable
extreme. Old DIR. Lernard Bacon used
to say at Yale that "some people must
squeeze u good thing till 1t has to
squeal." We will do well If we do not
forget that most children are going to
earn their living and gain their happi-
ness with their hands II they do 1t at
all, and that we will be giving strength
to the country by so much as we dignl-
fy labor and enhance the common inter
est in the agricultural and mechanical
industries

One Cnure for Thanks.

If anybody is looking for something
to be thankful for let him ponder the
fact that there are about 100000
children attending school in the United
States. This is showing that no 9TH

One-fifth of our whole population Is
enrolled in free schools. AS compared
with our school figures, the most in
telligent nations OF Europe are far in
the rear. But even the public schools
give but faint idea of the extent of
educational work among us. All manner
of trade and technical schools are
growing up, libraries are being found
ed in every considerable town and dis
trict. until the cheapest thing in Ameri-
ca is an education.

a Happy Metz ycor.

A happy New Year!" How many
people realize the meaning of the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting upon their lips? 81
wish you happy New Year!" Does
it not seem that the wish carries
blessing with it? And l believe 1t
does when spoken by friends whose
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit of those thoughtless
ones who never read between the lines,
let us analyze this significant greeting.
In the first place we wish our friends
happiness, and the next question which
naturally suggests itself is. what con-
stitutes happiness? little friend of
mine tells me that 1t is to eat all the
candy he wants and not to go to bed
until he wants to do SO. Another
friend of more mature years says that
she would be perfectly happy If she
had 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 different
definition for happiness.
II 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. do not believe that any
one was ever really happy who used

The HnnuoI GreeffnS.

"a Happy New Year to you'll" This
is the greeting which will be heard
on every side as we cross the thres-
hold of the new year. 1t has become
a custom to repeat it. In many cases
it has little meaning. and is nothing
more than an empty compliment or an
idle wish. How much do you mean by
it? 1t is very easy to repeat the form
ula. 1t is a very simple matter to buy
a New Years card and enclose 1t in
an envelope. But when you send this
greeting, or speak 1t. do you regard
it as pledge or promise that you will
do nothing to make the recipient OF
it unhappy, and that you will do all
in your power to relieve his anxieties
and bring gladness to his hearth

That the district attorney has in con-
temptation on effort TO secure a second in

the application for a warrant of removal
was first made to Judge Brown and there

lately there have been a number OF bank
ruptcies in New York that have demand
ed attention at his hands and that amid
the trying scenes engendered of this bus

pass upon an application for warrant OF
removal of defendants who are charged

most Of the offenses charged against the
defendants the statute Of limitations has
already laid a protecting hand, and on

Whatever the plans Of the district at

casual observer that the conspiracy case
is in a condition of unstable equilibrium
and that the present status quo is destin-
