Profit From Past Experience.

There Is something about the
passing away of the old year that
always induces retrospectlon. Our
thoughts INCIDENTALLY wander's
back over the twelve months,
which have so quickly slipped
away, and there are few of us
indeed, who can not see
where we have made mistakes
and grievous errors. 1t Is
so much easier to fall into error
than to avoid doing so. And how
the recollections of our humiliating
mistakes do cling to US; 1t Is so
hard to lose them. They refuse
to 90 way back In the chambers
of our memories to the seats TO
which we would gladly assign them.
They crowd to the front
with such persistence that
they must be recognized,
though there Is nothing pleasant
In broodlng over our slips and
bluuders; most of Us, after mental
worry for the loss of time and
money, and for unduly exhibiting
at sundry times and In different
places various forms of temper,
usually wind up by declaring that
nothing IS to be gained by "whin-
ing over spilled milk" aud inward
ly resolve to make amends In the
future and to profit from past ex'
perience. In this way most Of Us
make some good resolves, though
we may not believe In new res
olutions. However, the in
dividual who has not learned
something during the old year, from
which he thinks he can profit in
the new, must have been retrograd-
ing. There Is no such thing as
standing still. We must either
progress or 60 back, climb higher
or sink lower, and 1t Is so easy 70
90 down hill. While 1t Is not well
to "blte off too much" In making
resolutions, no harm can come from
undertaking to make the new year
an Improvement over the one that
has just passed into the hands OF
the undertaken.

Thomas Joyce Heir to
Property Worth About
$4,000.
WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.
When Last Heard From was Working
Either in West Vrglnla
or Texas.

| Through the death of sister In
Pittsburg less than a week ago a
fortune awaits Thomas Joyce, If he
can only be located. When last
heard of he was either In Texas or
at Sistersvllle In West Virginia
working for an oil company. Since
then be seems to have vanished
from the earth. The sister left
from $4,000 to $4,000 and the
brother Is her only known relative.
Anna Nora Joyce died last Sun
day. She had many acquaintances
lin the two cities. She and her
brother. Thomas, were born In the
First ward and In the vicinity of
the point the family was we'll
known; when In the city the
brother and sister saw each other
only at intervals. The sister died
possessed of property In the down
town portion of the city which IS
said to be worth not less than $780,
600.
Miss Joyce never consulted an
attorney In the management OF her
affairs; when she died she left no
will, but to a friend at whose house
she lived for some time previous
to her death she said that her
brother, Thomas, was her only rel
ative and that at her death she de-
sired that he come Ia for all of her
property.
This friend Is Veva Dupont, of
whom Miss Joyce made confident.
She says Miss Joyce frequently
spoke of her brother, but for the
past two years had heard nothing
of him. She says he left Pittsburg
to 90 either to Texas or West Vir-
ginia to work for an oil company,
and 1t Is not even known whether
or not he Is living. Miss Dupont
says that If the brother calls at her
home, 443 Third avenue, she will
give him all of the information she
possesses regarding his sisters es-
tate.
The property Is almost entirely
unencumbered. Some few years
ago mortgage of $12. 900 was on
1t. 1t fell due, and the sister had
but an hour left In which to renew
1t. Money was not quite so plen-
tiful then as now, and the hardest
kind of work was experienced in
having the mortgage placed, In
less than year later real estate
took such leap upward that the
property more than doubled itself
in value and has been going up
ever since.

DEATH OF A VETERAN.

J. W. Mays Passed Away this Morning at
-Four O'Clock. His Death was Due to
Injuries Sustained by Being Thrown
From Horse.
The community In general was
shocked this morning to learn of
the death of John w. Mays, which
occurred at his home on the South
Side, at q o'clock. The death of
deceased was due to injuries re-
ceived on Monday last by being
thrown from a horse. He had been
to Woodsfeld, Ohio, and was on
his way home and just
west of Fly, while decendlng
the river hill, his horse took fright
at some object and threw him off.
he was found short time after
the accident happened and con-
veyed to his home by kind friends,
where he passed peacefully away as
stated The injuries which he sus
tanned In the fall were In the left
side and abo1t the head, and not
withs andlng the opinion OF the at
tending physicians that they were
not necessarlally of a serious nature,
medical skill proved of no avail.
Mr.. Mays was In the 58th year of
his age and was a native of Venan
60 county. Pa. He had been res
ident eff this city some eight years,
and was a good citizen, kind and
indulgent father and a loving hus-
band. He was a veteran of the
Civil war. having served with dis.
tinction In a Pennsylvania regl
ment, nearly throughout the entire
service. He was a brave soldier
aud did noble duty In Aelense
of his country. He Is sur
vived by "a widow and three
grown children. two of whom, Mrs.
Henry McCutcheon and Mrs T.W.
Crawford, reside on South Wells
street. The date of the funeral had
not been fixed when we went TO
press this afternoon, but In all
probability 1t will occur Monday
morning at 10 o'clock in the NJ. E.

Another warm fight in congress is promised over the army canteen which the war department wants restored. It Is claimed that since the canteen was abolished drunkenness, insubordin- ation and other violations of military laws have materially increased. The record has been so uniformly had that administration officials have been con- sidering for a long time the alvisability of making fight for the re.establsh- ment of the canteen, where soldiers can drink a few glasses of beer with associates, which will prevent their desire to leave the garrison and ire quent low saloons. It Is said an effort will be made to attach rider to the army appropriation bill repeating the anti-canteen law. The army and the administration will be ranged in favor of repeal, while the Womeu's Christian Temperance union will battle for the law as it stands.
