COMING OF THE NEW YEAR.
We Should Enter 1t With Courage, Hope
and Resolution.

The homeIy maxim about not crying over
split milk contains one Of the best sug-
gestions as to the proper spirit with which
we may enter the New Year. We cannot
change the past, but we can bend all our
energies toward making the future better
than the past. The frame of repining and
Encouragement is fatal to good achieve
ment, but the temper Of courage, hope and
resolution almost guarantees it. We are
all of US tempted to a dismal mood when
we reflect how different things would have
been with us if we had not made this or
that mistake, or met this or that mistor-
tune. 1t seems as if only a narrow margin
prevented our being to-day in much hap
pier conditions. But there always is an
illusion about such reasonings. The error
we made was probably the outcome Of
natural temper or of long course Of habit
ual action. We could not have done other
wise without being different in personality

and character The af1liction that came to
us did not rise out of the dust; it was a part
of the provdential ordering of life. Except
as to deliberate sin, our regrets about the
past have little foundation in reason. Many
things must have been different to have
their outcome other than it is. We have
less to reproach ourselves with than we
often think for. The main thing is not to
quarrel with our conditions, but to keep
our purposes high and pure.-Watchman

Mr.. TEASER'S DILEMMA
Blu WILLIAM WALLACE COOK

MI Teaser was burglar.
One Christmas eve he went a-burglmg
and, in the dIawingroom Of the entered
house, the rays from his bull s-eye lantern
fell across sundry presents laid out in a neat
array on a table. There was a box Of cigars
Mr.. Teaser was on the point of setting the
lantern down and putting the cigars into
a capacious bag which he was carrying when
he discovered a card with these words writ
ten in feminine hand: For Charlie, from
his loving wife He dropped the box as
though it were something hot. "Two-fers, >
he muttered; "friend-IiIlers for Charlie.'
Placing the bull's-eye on a neighboring
chair, its beams directed upon the scene of
operations, he dropped into his bag a gold
watch, in a plush case, marked: ELLA, from

A New Years Programme.

Well remarked Mr.. Jolliwell, 81 sup
pose you are going to make lot Of good res
olutions for the New Year,
''No, I'm not" said Mr. Sirius Barker,
with Characteristic acrimony, "Pm going
to make a lot of bad ones
That's an unheard-of proceeding"
as successful in breaking my bad resolu-
tions as | have been in breaking my good
ones, I'll manage to become pretty high
toned and estimable citizen. "-Washington

A SURPRISE ON SANTA CLAUS.
Blu FRANK B. WEIGH.

Each one an extra stocking brought,
And holding them on high
The roguish youngsters round his couch
Woke Santa with the cry:
"Oh Santa Claus, awake, awake
'Tis Christmas morn, you know,
And you must fill our stockings now
Before we homeWard go!"
The waking saint up started then
And chuckled loud with glee.
The shouting children round him we're
A funny sight to see;
He took the stockings, every one,
And piled them on his bed,
Then with a merry laugh and shout
Unto the children said:
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1901-12-19

From far and near they came, and all
With mischief we're agloW
They scrambled over fences and
They floundered through the snow:
Until at last with cautious steps
They came to Santa door
Where, hushed and listening, they heard
The good old fellow snore.
Soon by the aid of sundry keys
They made their way inside,
And crept from room to room until
They sleeping Santa spied
Upon a couch of furry robes
In slumber deep he lay,
And through the windows shone the moon
AS brightly as the day.

To the New Year.

Up to the great heights lead,
With gentIest dream and deed
Sow thou the perfect seed
Bind the deep wounds that bleed,
And lift from darkest night
Earth to eternal light!

BE off be off you little rogu.s,
Back home and wait the day
You'll find when Christmas comes, my dcars
Old Nick will come your way;
There's not a single toy at hand,
My pack is stored away,
My reindeer roam the distant hills,
So, to your homes, say !
With some a pat and some a kiss
He babe them all adeu
And with reluctant steps the thrOng
Soon faded from his view;
THE little elves the darling rogues !"
Laughed Santa, in his bed,
God save and keep each little soul
And crown each shining head"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1901-12-19

Some time ago old Santa Claus
Was sound asleep one night;
Within his distant northern home
Was not a single light,
When through the tangled wood close by
A throng Of children stole,
Intent upon big surprise
To give the jolly soul.
Twas not the Christmas time, for then
He never is at home
He's sailing round the world, you know,
Ger cot and palace dome
But Christmas was not far away,
And all the little folk
Had come to play on Santa Claus
A Merry Christmas joke.

War Against the Mosquito.

The Endorsement Of the theory
that the mosquito is the agent of
yellow fever transmission by the
Medical Association of Missis-
sippi points to determined war
against that troublesome insect,
says the Atlanta Constitution.
There can be no doubt but that
the conditions producing the
mosquito are the same as those
giving rise to malarial foyers of
all kinds, and that yellow fever is
but the accentuation of the whole
evil. In ali ages there have been
sections Of the world regarded as
plague stricken, which subse-
quently became free from all
taint. New countries, owing to
the accumulation Of vegetation,
present dangers to life which dis
appear later on. Many parts Of
the Southern States, now salu-
brious and healthy, were once
avoided as dangerous. The clear
ing away Of forests, the draining
Of swamps and the action of the
sun when. admitted freely to the
earth have done the work we'll
and make living possible where
malaria formerly reigned.
The entire section over which
yellow fever has ragged in years
past is dotted over with ponds and
swamps, whence issue the swarms
Of mosquitoes that cover the land.
While doctors have been talking
about inoculation and other pre-
ventives Of yellow fever, the ak
man and the ditch digger set to
work could have solved the prob
lem. If the people of the sections
afflicted will go to work upon the
removal Of the ponds and swamps,
mosquitoes, malaria and yellow
fever will disappear at once.

Responsibility.

No stream from its source
Flows seaward, how lonely soever it's
course,
B 1t what some land is gladden'd! No
star ever rose
And set, without influence somewhere!
Who knows
What earth needs from earth's lowest
creature?
No life
Can be pure in its purpose and strong in
its strife,
And all life not be purer and stronger
thereby!
The spirits of just mon made perfect on
high
The army Of martyrs who stand by the
throne
And gaze into the Face that makes
glorious their own
Know this, surely, at last! Honest love,
honest sorrow,
Honest work for the day, honest hope for
The morrow,
Are these worth nothing more than the
hand they make weary?
The heart they have sadden'd-the life
they leave dreary?
Hush! the sevenfold heavens to the voice
Of the Spirit
Echo: "He that overcometh shall all
things inherit!" -LYTTON.

Iron County (Mo.) Registe

Iron County (Mo.) Register:
The bloated blase baccarat play
er now on the English throne
talks grandiloquently about my
possessions, my Indian empire,
my military forces, my navy,
my troops, my relations with
other powers, etc. And the null
titudes shout themselves hoarse
in acclaim to their new master.
That old malcontent who, when
about to be hung, drawn and
quartered for nom submission to
authority, said that the world
would some time declare against
the doctrine that some men, most
ly fools, were born bridled and
saddled to be ridden by the
few ready booted and spurred.
That's what he said and perhaps
believed; but the ''mostly fools
on that island as yet evidence no
trend toward the fuifilment Of his
prediction. They are not only
roughly ridden and deeply spurr-
ed, but they actually glory in
their servile abasenent to an ac-
knowledged roue and gambler.
