Welcome it's responsibilities. Heavy
though they may be, they but
strengthen mind and muscles for the
coming fray. They are the skirmishes
in the battles, the campaigns that
make soldiers of us. and teach us how
&c buckle on orr armor and grid our
selves for the fight.
Welcome its trials. For out of
them we come purified and refined, as
the gold that is freed from the dross
and impurities hat belong TO its crude
and natural condition and cling to it
until they are purged away.
Welcome it's crosses and losses. For
they but emphasize and punctuate the
story of regeneration and the heroic
careers Of those who kept straight on in
tn path of duty, never h~esitating,
eve turning aside. never holding
back their hands from doing that
next thing that the faithful look
upon as the point gained in the daily
warfare OF life.
Welcome its sorrows and hsreave-
ments. They teach us to look upon
this world as not our permanent abid-
ing place, but that we have a house
not made with hands eternal in the
Heavens, whittier our loved ones have
gone before, and from the windows OF
which they are reckoning to US to
come up higher.-Rev. John Hall.

Estelle, Maude and May Robbins
stood in the window with their heads
close together.
st am so sorry whispered Estelle.
81 do so want to make mamma u
papa a New Years present and ! have
spent all my money-every cent"
so have T." said Rosy, land have
not kept even a piece OF ribbon or an
ounce of worsted."
1T is too dreadful" Maude whisper
ed. IF that horrid Miss Croker had
not insisted upon our buying those lit
tie books at the fair we would all
have had plenty of money. wonder
how long she is going 10 stay. She is
so fussy," said Maude. Nothing suits
her. Sometimes she says: This egg
is too soft, Lizzie; take it away and
bring me another Then Lizzie makes
up a face and l have to laugh"
well. but Maude." said Estelle, who
was the eldest, that is wrong. The
girl who is hired to wait on the table
should never make faces, no matter
what happens; and you must never
laugh at her again. 7 am sure Miss
Croker saw you this morning"
but she is fussy," said Ray, "and /
! wish she would go home"
Mamma likes her." replied Estelle.
"You know she was mammals teacher
once and some one left her a big for
tune and so she stopped teaching"
And mamma says, too, that she is
very charitable and gives heaps and
heaps to the poor people" put in Ray.
'Then I wish she had bought those
books herself instead of making us
spend all our money" grumbled
Maude.
"If we had been honest and said
right out, I want all my money for
myself perhaps she would said Es-
telle.
Tomorrow is New Years day. 1t
Is too late to get anything now" sigh
ed Ray.
IF we only had some OF that lovely
wool Miss Croker has been winding
for the last three days. we could knit
mamma some beautiful mats for her
dressing case. / could knit one be-
fore dark said Estelle, mournfully.
Gould you, my dear?" said a voice
!. close behind them.
The three children turned and saw
Miss Croker sitting in a rocking chair
just behind them. They did not
know how long she had been there or
how much she had heard. but she had
three large balls of brilliant eolored
wool in her lap.
Are you sure, Estelle, that you
could make a mat before dark?" said
Miss Croker, looking over her spec
tacles al the three blushing faces be-
fore her. Maude and Ray answered
"Yes," very shyly.
Then" said the lady, "sit down
there on the sofa and | will give you
each one OF these balls of WOOL"

responded the stranger, also rising
ana as she did so throwing back her
veil. $50. ~ "St
Leila" gasped Carson, LOOKING
lncredulously into her face.
Yes, Leila" was the answer whis-
pered, while her arms stole round his
neck, come back to you with the New
Year, never to leave your side until it
SO p~leases God"
Ihen they sat down and she told
him how, three years before, after be-
ing left a widow, she determined to
nnd out what had become Of the sweet
heart Of her younger days. How. by
a chapter Of happy accidents. she
learned that he was in London. How
on knowing this. she hurried over land
and sea, and just at the birth of the
New Year entered his room. She saw
the tears fall from his eyes. heard her
name mentioned, and his blessing SO
out to her. All doubts were then at
an end.
My children will be here by the
next boat, and you must be to them a
father. Now l must go, as I'm weary
with the excitement of the day"
Carson drove her to her hotel, and
to him the New Year bells never
seemed to have rung such merry peals.
They rang into his life a New Year is
every sense. A few days later there
was a quiet marriage, and on the fol-
lowing New Years Eve, as Carson and

Forget NIisfortunes.

Welcome the New Years spirit. II
comes with the hope-day, the day upon
which we all like to put behind us
all of our past misdeeds and rhisfor-
tunes; to turn the traditional new
leaf: to start all over again, and see
il out of our many times unhappy and
unfortunate environment. We cannot
build something more creditable to
ourselves. more satisfactory to our
Maker and more worthy to be record
ed in the great ledgers wherein debit
and credit are kept by unprecedented
hands.-H. S. c.
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1901-12-26
Hopes of the Future.

With the coming of the New Year
all our hopes of future good for our
selves and for humanity at large re-
receive a new impulse and an accession
Of power. If we are alive to the vide
extension of knowledge, the conquest
of the material world, the imminence
of new and important discoveries and
changes which shall make the POSSIBLE
tiles of life more interesting and beau
tiful, we cannot but rejoice that we
are born into this wonderful epoch.
Tennyson's poem, written in the flush
of young manhood. voiced the scien-
tifc fact in eloquence that can never
be forgotten, but the thoughts of men
are widened by the process of the
suns. 1t is truly to the thoughts Of men
that we owe all the triumphs of civil
ization, the triumphs of religion. art,
industry and science, as in the last re-
sort all that is and all that we hope
for resides in the thoughts Of men and
in the feelings and emotions which
give birth to these thoughts, and be-
tween which there is such a constant
interaction.

will allow me to say that I think your
real name is Herbert Wilton pro-
ceeded the mysterious stranger.
Carson was utterly ~unprepared for
this, and his surprise was painfully
manifest. Appearing not to notice It,
the lady went on:

NEW YEARS ADVICE.

There Is a foe that watches
Your comfort to destroy,
Assuming shapes OF evil
To interrupt your joy:
To keep him at a distance
Should be your purpose true.
So never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles your
Each day he may remind you
OF sorrow that's IN store:
Each day with hints and shadows
Perplex you more and more;
But go not forth 10 meet him
AS many people do,
And never trouble trouble
TIL trouble troubles you'll"
IT'S time enough TO worry
When misery appears;
IT'S time enough for weeping
When there's excuse for tears:
So ever at the fountain
OF prayer your faith renew.
And never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles y9u"'
For they who borrow trouble
Are never out Of debt.
Ger every fancied evil
They worry, fume, and fret;
And II you would be happy
Another course pursue,
And never trouble trouble
TIL trouble troubles youl"
Anticipating pleasure
May give relief from pain;
Anticipating sorrow
Is never any gain;
And IL YOU would be cheerful
In mind and body, too,
Then never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles youi"

balancing Our Books.

When the year is ended and the
final summing up of accounts is finish
ed, it is comforting to look back and
to be able to say, in all sincerity, that
we have done the best we could for our-
selves and for those about us. 1t is
more than comforting to see that we
have gained something. that our eff
forts have been crowned with success.
and tat we are by this advance
ment enabled to score a victory, even
though it may be trifing, W adj
verse circumstances. 1t encourages us
to redouble our efforts to make a bet
ter showing for the years to come, to
so order our affairs that this seasons
gain will be but the beginning of bet
ter things, and that the great and
grand fabric of our future may rise,
ever increasing, ever more and more
beautiful, and end in a noble. manly,
womanly, Christian. symmetrical char
acter that will make its possessor
known and honored of all men.

him. He rang the bell and ordered
some tea. The demure little maid
looked at him, and, going down stairs,
said:
Poor Mr.. Carson, he looks so
strange and miserable!"
Returning, she found him sitting in
his chair gazing with half-closed eyes
into the fire. Placing the tea on a
small wicker table by his side, she at
tracted his attention by the question,
Anything else, sir?"
NO" was the reply; but, see, this
is New Years Eve. You've been a good
servant to me, at least. Buy yourself
something" handing her a sovereign.
The amount of the gift bereft the girl
of the power of speech, and with a
curtesy, eloquent in itself of gratitude,
she left.
Carson, slipping his tea. again solilo-
quized. IT'S now within an hour and
a quarter of the New Year, What
will that year bring into my life? 1t
cannot bring the light of love and
companionship. The same round OF
weeks and months, and so it will be
to the end. Ten years ago, in Old
Kentucky, we said 'Good-by.' 1t was
a 'good-by' forever"
Apostrophizing the absent woman,
he continued: Leila, Leila, to my
grave l take with me the love l bear
you. Why did we live to be parted so
ruthlessly? What strange fate has so
guided our destinies?"
He turned to the story of Evangeline
and read Of the sufferings Of that
heroic character. The reading soothed
him and he fell asleep.
The clocks were striking the twelfth
stroke of midnight when he awoke
He barely opened his eyes, then closed
them again, and listened to the joyous
salutations of people meeting in the
streets. He was o selfish, neither
was he bad Datured. No man who
every truly loved can be altogether
either. AS he listened he said:
y wish for all a bright New Year

shall never see again, may your life
know no sorrow, may yours eve bt
the aching heart, and may you b.
blessed in your children growing VI

"You are very kind" said Estelle.

You are very kind" said Estelle.
Thank you. Miss Croker" said
Maude. But Ray, remembering hat
Miss Croker must have heard her say
she wished she would so home, want
ed TO hide herself. However. she
came out from behind the curtain and
seated herself close to Estelle. Miss
Croker then gave them each a crochet
needle. This blue ball Is for you"
she said, placing the wool in Estelle's
lap. The mauve for you" and she
dropped another ball in Nsudss

at the Iady's last Ncl1s their faces
grew very long. Now, girls, II

looked at Ray while she spoke and
then left the room.
"Horrid thing!" said Ray, as the
door closed. II won't knit a mat for
her. / thought she meant to give US
the wool"
1t just serves us right for talking

piled Este4le. I'VE will have to knit

Make a chain of three stitches and

They were all three fond of this kind
of work and presently forgot their
disappointment.
The M was just setting when Es-
teIle said: There, that's the last OF
the wool and my mats done. But just
see what a big wad of paper Miss Gro
ker rolled her wool upon" She tossed
the paper under the CRATE and fasten-
ed OF her knitting neatly.

ed Estelle, but wait until Ray has
