portunity in each day or each year. 1t
is the path of wisdom so to apportion
them as to fulfill, without haste or
waste, the various duties and claims
that press upon us. If we give them
all to one, or even to a very few things.
we must inevitably neglect others.
1t is quite true that every one should
have a chief object in life, to which
others must be subordnated. But in
these days of fierce competition the
danger is great of making that the
only one. The business or profess
SIGNAL man works early and late, and
gives all his waking thoughts to the
details. He forgets that he has du-
ties to his family other than that of
providing for their material wants; he
overlooks his relations to his friends
and to the community. He is intern
perate in his work. Occasionally we
see a mother who realizes fully her
responsibilities to her children. but
who allows them to absorb her whole
being, to the exclusion of all beside.
Lesser instances are abundant also.
The reformer, with excellent inten-
tions, goes into extremes which rem
der his scheme impossible. The phil
anthropist condemns as hard-hearted
all who cannot respond to his ideas.
The advocates of tariff and of free
trade, of expansion and retrenchment
of every political and national project,
will often go to such lengths in their
arguments as to produce a reaction
against them. Sometimes it is
amusement in which we are intern
perate. The youth is so devoted to
athletics that his school or college
course is well nigh wasted or the
maiden becomes so enamored with
! parties and balls and society and fash
ion that all preparation for real life
is cast aside. Whatever it be that is
, thus carried to, excess injuries the char
acter, narrows the life and abrogates
many other rightful claims.
Neither does the favored object it.

why Flowers Bloom and Birds Sing

The old comfortable belief of our
forefathers that the flowers and fruits
and all the good things of the earth
were created for their benefit has been
completely shattered by science. The
shining gold of April celandine, the
scent of white violets, are not for us at
all, says science, not even for the in
sects that come to them for honey. but
just for the sake of the flowers them
selves, which must get cross fortified
or die out. Self. self only. is the bed
rock Of It all. SO the violets are not
fragrant for us. and the thrush was
not made to sing on our account. but
to charm his mate. and the stars do not
shine so as to light our way through
the wood and across the wild on moon
less nights.
Fortunately this discovery need not
take away our appetite for the feast
which Is spread out. We need have no
more conjunction in coming to ii I'M
invited than has the bee or the moth
In slipping the nectar of the blossom.
1t may even be that we. like they do
render unconsciously some return for
benefits Notwithstanding Review.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
A Helpful PARCHMENT for the New
Year, or for any Other Time in the
Year.

A Helpful Parchment for the New
Year, or for any Other Time in the
Year.
Generally the fault with good reso-
lutions broken) is quite as much in
the resolutions themselves as in the
weakness of will which fails to keep
them. They are often too numerous,
or too far reaching, or too difficult, and
thus their failure is imminent. We
do not sufficiently consider or discover
our own inclinations. 1t is one thing
to have a strong and impulsive desire
for better things, and quite another
to patiently and steadily carry them
out day by day. If we set ourselves an
impossible task we must look for fail
ure. If we load ourselves too heavily
we cannot be surprised if we break
down. No intelligent person will de-
mand of another what is not in his
power to give. He does not expect
skilled labor from unskilled hands,
nor wisdom from the ignorant, nor
taste and refinement from the uncul-
tivated and lll-bred. Why, then, should
he expect from himself what is be-
yond his ability to give? Habits are
not changed in moment, faults are
not abandoned by single volition,
virtues are not secured in any sud
den fashion. Only slowly and grad
ually can character improve, and to
ignore this truth is to insure failure.
Let us, then, be more modest in our
resolutions, planning easier tasks and
more gradual improvements; let us
realize also that many missteps must
be taken, and, therefore must be al
70 in, OF nd vii n
es and purposes. Thus guarded, our
New Year resolutions will not contain
within themselves the element of fail
ure, but will be real helps to us in our
onward progress toward a better man
hood and womanhood.
If we might offer one suggestion for
New Years resolution which, among
others, might be sufficiently modest
and reasonable to afford hope of being
successfully fulfilled, it would be for a
greater regard for moderation. The
word temperance is so generally as
ISOLATED with the liquor question that
we hesitate to use it here, though most
applicable. It's real meaning is not
abstinence, but moderation. 1t comes
from a Latin word which means Ito
mix with due proportion diff
ferent thing from the touch not, taste
not, handle not" rule which has as
sumed the name of temperance. "Be
temperate in all things" is an ex-
hortation which few, if any of us fol.
low; yet it is one which, If complied
with, would be fraught with incalcu'
cable advantages. We are, as ma
ton, inclined to extremes. Our per
ceptions are keen, our enthusiasm is
strong, our feelings are warm, oul
hopes are high, and with all this our
tendency is to go to excess in what
ever engages our interest and com
mands our energy. OF course, this
can only be done at the expense OF
other things. We have only certain
amount of time and strength and op

When madame and Iona returned to

thought how the great eyes of Aman-

raising a disturbance in the vicinity Of
r. Knaul's residence, entering the
front door at Mr.. Knaul's and refusing
to go out when Mrs. Knual asked him
to. Mrs. Knaul finally succeeded in
getting rid of his unwelcome presence
and he went across the street to Mr..
]. t. Haugh's at which place he en-
tered and finding no one in the room
finally went away taking some articles
from the hall with him. About this
time Marshall Retman arrested him
and he was brought before Mayor Will
son and is now enjoying bread and
water.
