THE MAN WHO swoRE OFF.
He Is Deserving of Respect and En-
cOuragement.

The world, if it knows it's business,
will doff it's hat to the man who
swore off New Years day. Notwith-
standing the outlaws of the crowd
at the bar when they hear about it,
that man., says the Chicago Daily
News, is worthy of respect and en-
couragement. Having the desire to
mend his ways, he has braved the
jests of his associates, the sneers of
those whose unworthy methods he
hopes to forsake, and the curious
glances of casual acquaintance, in
order to exercise his will in resist
ing evil habits. His militant man
hood is worthy of praise. So, for
your own sake as well as for his,
do not laugh or sheer at him or
take patronizing attitude toward
him because of your well-known and
unassailable virtue. Express conf
dence in him and help him to stick
to his good intentions.
Why should not one resolve to for
sake ones bad habits on the first
day of the year? Why should not
one resolve to forsake them on any
other day? Having made the resolve
and entered upon the effort neces-
sary to carry it out, why should one
be the subject of jests, since there is
nothing foolish nor dishonorable in
trying to improve ones methods of
life? If the school of experience
teaches valuable lessons, as every
one knows it does, why should not
one profit by these lessons? Habit
is mainly relic of youth and ig-
norance, so far as it is not formed
on good models or by the firm hands
of wise elders. To improve ones hab-
it's from year to year is the valuable
privilege of the man or the woman
who has been learning lessons in the
worlds academy of hard knocks. To
take no advantage of those lessons
is to write ones self down a fool.
Pity, therefore, the man or the wom-
an who never swears off.

DRESSING THE TREE.
How 1t May BE Done to Secure the
Best Effects.

The Woman's Home Companion
gives some hints on decorating a
Christmas tree safely. 1t, is well
known that when tapers are fixed
TIC the laden branches, after the
gifts ara taken 6ff the lightened
boughs spring up and often set each
other on fire. The mode indicated
here avoids all that.
First" says the Companion, ''thin
cut the branches sufficiently to al
low the gifts to show to good adj
vantage. Then with an auger bore
holes in spiral row about four
or five inches apart the whole length
of the trunk. Have some fat sticks
prepared, an inch wide and half an
inch thick, and of varying lengths
Sharpen one end, and insert them
according to their graduated lengths,
giving each a blow or two with a
hammer to insure it's being firmly
fixed. Paint them green. At the

The Birds Christmas.

In Norway, the cold northern land,
the kind-hearted people wish to have
every creature rejoice at the glad
Christmas season, and they think of
the dear little birds; SO there is al
ways a sheaf of wheat fastened high
on pole in every farmyard, that
the birds may enjoy good dinner
of grain, and the little Norwegian
children are Santa Claus helpers,
when they help to bring Christmas to
the birds.-Detroit Free Press.

PRAISE FOR
PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT
RoChambeaus Leave for France
With Most Kindly Memories
Of Their Visit TO America.

New York. June 14-with many kind
words expressing their appreciation OF
American hospitality and America, with
kisses and rhetorical boquets. the Count
and Countess de Roohambeau and other
members OF their party sailed on La
Lorraine. Those who went away with the
namesakes OF the French hero were NJ.

ers will sail on June 10.
THE thing that impressed me most"
said the Count, was the official visit paid
by President Roosevelt to the battleship
Gaulois at Annapolis. and his leaving the
ship 10 the gun salute. with Admiral
Fournier on the bridge, the men lined
along the turrets and the figure OF your
president as he stood. with barred head,
I'm the cutter
THAT scene moved me so that j con-
fess there were tears in my eyes We un-
derstood that II was against precedent
for the president OF the United States TO
set foot on the warshlp OF a foreign pow
er and on that account we appreciated
his visit all the more.
PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT.
President Roosevelt is an impressive
man under any circumstances
II was treated royalty In Chicago.
There is, to my mind, a vast difference
between Chicago and New York. Chica-
go is truly, ideally. intensely American;
New York Is cosmopolitan. l like New
York better. At Chicago / saw the great
slaughter houses. They were horrible.
AT St Louis I was received in most
cordial manner by Gov. Francis. He Is
very nice man. The St Louis Exposition,
| am sure will be a success.
II shall never forget my meeting on
the boat Louisiana, on the Mississippi.
with Mark Twain. and have invited him
10 visit me. The countess named the boat,
Mark Twain did the steering. The coun-
tess prizes highly the letters OF farewell
he sent to her"
President Roosevelt is certainly stren-
uous" said the countess. There should
be more such men.
American girls are lovely. Some OF
them are much prett!er than ! ever
thought a woman be. but have
seen many beautif nch women.
Some American dress well. but
again / saw some OF your women wearing
things that a French woman would not
be seen In.
Some kind person sent me set OF
ping-pong. ! am deeply grateful. I shall
use II In France At present / do not
know the game"
The countess was presented with large
silk American flag by one OF the womens
patriotic societies. In gold lettering on
the flag were the words. America to
France" and Souvenir d'Adieu."
The Count de Rochambeau said he
might return In year.

DIR. Dawson heard OF this. A common

"She has never married. and seems to be
always dreaming day dreams"

best possible. Then he sent word indi-
rectly TO his old sweetheart asking her
to come 10 a sanitarium at Kingston
where he could treat her.
She did so. and improved so rapidly
that the physician was soon able to
take her to Matteawan, where he could
give his patient more attention. She was
soon totally recovered. and with the doc

They decided not to make II public until
the bride went TO her home in Delaware.
The doctor accompanied her, and at her

They have just returned to Matteawan

Life wasn't worth living without her"
said the physician yesterday to a re-
porter.
