THE NEW YEARS RESOLUTION.

i-Somehow the New Years resolution Is one OF
the virtues of which the outbreaking wicked seem
to hold a sole monopoly. That is one of the advan-
taees of the bad-they can afford to be honest with
themselves whereas the good. especially the unco
guild spend their days in deceiving themselves,
saws a writer in The Daily Picayune
..Yet not all the misery and sorrow of the world Is
caused by the wicked and could afford to let the
r,pner On if only the good were better! Not all
tbe broken hearted women had drunken husbands
who beat them; not all the bitter. disappointed
men are the victims of womans faithlessness; not
all the neglected children come from the squalid
and ignorant and poverty stricken households On
the contrary. Mr.. A is regardeds as a model nus
hand and father. Mrs B. is pillar OF the cnurch-

TO BE CONTINUED,

HE GOT THE JoB.-'T was much
amused the other day." said an up
town hardware dealer, "at small boy
who came around looking for a Job.
One of the clerks had dropped a lot of
sharp pointed tacks into a drawer OF
brass screws and had given up the
idea Of taking them out.
when the youngster turned up look
ing for a Job we thought we would try
him out by letting him sort the two
articles. He went at 1t the same way
we had begun, picking out the tacks
with his fingers and getting the point
Of every third tack in the ball OF his
thumb.
He had enough in about q minute,
and he Strengthened up. We all began
to smile, expecting him to give up the
job. Instead Of that he went over to
the show case and picked out horse
shoe magnet. Then he. came back to
the box. In thirty seconds he had the
tacks out, and the screws were still
In the compartment. He knew that
the magnet would attract iron and not
brass, and In a jifry he had accom-
plished what We had been trying to do
all the morning.
I'VE didn't really need a boy, but
this chaps smartness appealed to US,
and We find him so handy to have
around that next Saturday he gets q
raise."-New York Press.

Mary flushed little and answered;
II can't help it. You do not know.
Had | told Henry. that We four had
enjoyed such a famous time In my

and-and-you might have been the
sufferer"
"But might you not have compro.
missed matters by going around the
truth come way and leaving the i'm
preston that others were Of the party
that eveninsP
That was q mistake, for It gave Mary
an opportunity to retaliate: 'The besa
way to 60 around the truth, as you call
1t, Is by direct lie. My lie was No
worse than yours. But did not STOP
to argue about such matters. There ID
something else I wished to say. Iwani

THEY ALL SAW IT MovB.-Mrs. Bur-
ton, with her husband, Sir Richard
Burton, the famous traveller, and two
ladies', had driven out Of Triest to
village dance and were sitting In the
carriage listening to the band. In tell
ing of it she said:
Suddenly, at the top Of roof, I
caught sight Of rat, which appeared
to me to be spellbound by the music.
Look" said I. Don't move, but
watch that rat fascinated by the mu-
s,c."
So we all sat and watched 1t and
thought it most interesting that rats
should be susceptible to music like
lizards and snakes.
We all saw it move. We all saw Its
head turn and its tail move, and we
kept STILL, not to frightened 1t away.
The next day, feeling so much inter-
ested in the affair, We sent to inquire
about 1t. The rat, 1t turned out, was
made of painted tin and fixed to the
top Of the house. So much for imagi-
nation.

CURE For SMALLPox.-In 1854, Col,
C. R. Hanleiter Of Atlanta, furnished
for publication the following remedy
for smallpox. This remedy for small
pox' was communicated to the Liver
pool. Eng, Mercury by Hon. Edward
Miner, who says:
II am willing to risk my reputation
as public man II the worst case Of
smallpox cannot be effectually cured
in three days simply by cream Of tar
tar. This is the never failing remedy:
One ounce Of cream Of tartar dissolved
In a pint Of boiling water, to be drunk
when cold, at short intervals. It Is
known to have cured in a hundred
thousand cases without failure. I
have myself restored hundreds by this
means. It never leaves marks. never
causes blindness, and always prevents
tedious lingering. II the people would
only try 1t and report cures to you. you
would be required to use many col
umns If you gave them publicity"

First American Duel.

The first fatal duel fought In what
Is now the United States was upon
Boston Common, between Benjamin
Woodbridge and Henry Phillips, on the
evening of July 8, 1928. These young
men had quarreled over cards at the
Royal Exchange tavern, in King street
(now State street), and under the in
fluence Of drink had agreed to settle
their differences with swords In the
public grounds above named. They
met at a little after 8 o'clock in the
evening, and Woodbridge was mortally
wounded and was found dead the fol-
lowing morning.
Both were gentlemen Of good social
position. Phillips was a brother OF
Gillian Phillips, who married Marie, the
sister Of Peter Faneuil, the builder of
Boston's famous hail. Woodbridge had
not completed his twentieth year. He
was a young merchant who had re-
Gently been admitted to business as a
partner with Jonathan Sewall, one Of
the most active young merchants OF
the place. Henry Phillips, a young
graduate Of the college at Cambridge,
was about four years older than Wood
bridge, having at the time Of this mel
ancholy affair completed his twenty
third year. Woodbridge was the son
Of a gentleman Of some distinction In
Barbados, one Of the magistrates there,
who had formerly been settled in the
ministry as pastor in Groton, Conn.
The place Of meeting was on the ris-
ing grounds Of the Common, not far
from the Great Elm, near where In
