Question of Paternity.

Various theories have been advanc-
ed relative to the way the Silver Party
came into existence. says the Appeal.
The latest comes from the Reno Ca
zette: Allen Braggsays he vas in bed
in 1892 during the months of July
August. September, October and No
vember, during which time the Silver
Party was born. We never knew be-
fore that Allen Bragg was the mother
of the Silver Party. On several oc-
casions the Reno Gazette has endeay-
ored to fasten the paternity Of the child
onto Black Wallace.

Goodbye, old yearI
We've journeyed on together many
days.
And now behold the parting of our
ways
Is very near;
With thoughts of mingled gladness
and of dread.
I see the winding way that I must
tread
To Future Lands;
For thee awaits the realm of shadows
deep
The Silent Land of years that lie
asleep
With folded hands
Goodbye, old yearl
4 few more steps ere weforever part
A few more words that wake the
throbbing heart
To hope and fear;
A farewell smile, a lingering clasp OF
hand.
Ere thou shalt lie within the shadow
land
All silently;
greet,
The while l journey on with memories
sweet.
Old year, of thee.
Goodbye, old year!
Alas, not half felt or knew till now
How kind and brave and true friend
vert thou:
For ali, twice dear
A loved one seems when comes the
darkened day
When heart and lips all tremulous
must say
A last goodbye;
Yet, though thy friendly face no more
I see.
The memories sweet my heart has kept
of thee.

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 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 new expert
enees- 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
to be nob1er men and women than we
are today, or we shall have deterior-
ated morally, and forever afterward
there will be narrowing opportunities.
While we think of the latter alterna-
tive it is well to strengthen our hearts
| by the former Let 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

of sixty-seven and three-quarters

run is made over the Orleans and Midi
railway, in France. The run is from
Paris to Bayonne, a distance of 1864
miles, and is made. including six stops
