TRlAPPY NEW YEAR! Twelve
months Of activity and prosperity
T1 have been added to the sum total
IER&aHI OF time, and "A new cycle of
- months opens to us another vista
OF effort and achievement. Human hope
and ambition are brighter and more buoy
ant at this time than any other. Now the
disappointments and failures Of the old
year are forgotten I'm the promise Of the
new, and the incentive to e1deavor Is en-
HANGED by retrospective contemplation Of
experience, and out OF that comes deter
mination to do better. Much fun has been
made OF the New Year resolution by light
hearted %scoffcrs, but the New Year resolu-
tion Is a great agent for good in human
affairs. Even IL the resolution Is only
kept for one day, the individual is better
for that one day, and anything that tends
to reform or advance, even for a single
day, has had its effect on the progress Of
the race. While the world does not move
forward by bounds, and humanity's progress
Is marked by gentle gradations rather than
by abrupt steps, the stubborn fact remains
that each succeeding New Years day, with
It's host Of good resolutions, marks a stage
in the forward movement. And new years
are to be made happy only through indi-
vidual effo.t, and thus even the ephcmeral
reform accomplished by the Swearing off,
process rs of advantage, for II adds to
someone's happiness. And the sordid things
OF life intrudc themselves soon enough
after the first day Of the year has glidcd
away into the second. Therefore, although
a little delayed, The illustrated Bee wishes
its readers a Happy New Year.

king. you've got a party see all the

During the civil war several northern
soldiers were talking together before the
advance upon COrinth, a raw recruit
stepped up to them with a bundle of soileG
clothes in his hand and asked; "Do you
know whore | can get this washing done ."
oh. yes" said one Of the two practical
jokers. 1--WE know. Just go up there with

he directed him to call a guard, go with
the recruit to where the jokers were stand
ing ready to enjoy his discontinue. and
let him identify them, Take the men to
the guard house, give them this mans

During the last few years a running de-
bate has been going on among the agri-
cultural experts CT the country as to the
dual purpose COW, the one hat can be
best used for dairy and beef, with breeding
fccundity as an incidental to both the
specified ends. This debate has taken Il
wide range, will little II any exact result
to date. 1t has remained for a pair of en-
terprising Beaver City lads to solve the
question Of the dual purpose cow-to their
own satisfaction at least. Taking 'BOssy'
to pasture Is one Of the most distasteful
of all the tasks that fall to a boys lot.
It's usually a slow and uneventful trip,
and comes just at a time when matters
far more to HE taste are waiting for his
attention. These boys have made virtue Of
"A necessity. and in a measure at least
have robbed the trip of some of its un-
plcasantness-one way at least. They sim
ply get astride of the gentle cows back
and ride her to pasture. This saves walk
ing, and adds a little zest to the journey. IL

Not the least important among the bust

One OF the advantages of New Years day
is that It comes so soon after Christmas
that there Is no effort much to do anything
between the two except to enjoy the re-
taxation OF a holiday and make n little at
tempt at forgetting the days OF toll that lie
behind and the prospect of hard work that
stretches out ahead. The season Is none too
long for this. Christmas amenities offer an
excellent stimulant to the inclination In tho
direction of abandoning the ordinary cares
and duties OF life for the round of pleasure
that ends with New Years day. Grownups
may find in their pot OF ointment an oc-
casional fly, but the youn ssters never en-
counter an alloy or dreg In their draught.
In this latitude no outdoor sport Is more
welcome or more generally entered into
than skating. Since the time the rebellious
Hollanders defeated the soldiers Of the duke
OF Alva, because they could maneuver on

Nowhere does the doctrine of natural seIec-
tion find more practical exempliication, and
nowhere is the effect of environment more
thoroughly illustrated than among these

In commenting on the death of Thomas
II. Reed T.. p. O'Connor says in his London
weekly: "a very short conversation with
him was quite sufficient to give you a sense
OF his immense power. He was a great, big,
somewhat loosely made man, very thick
at the girth, with a huge head and a large,
broad, fair, somewhat pallid, resolute,

IN dispute is a tract Of land about seventy
miles south of CracOw, owned partly by
Prince Hohenlohe, a German, and Count
Lamoyski, an eXiled Polish noble from
Posen. This dispute of 500 years duration
has led to much bitter feeling in the neigh
borhood, as both Hungariane and Poles have
hotly contested the question and loudly as
serted their claims. The arbitrator has

whore the little lake becomes an ideal skaf-
Ing pond. 1t is protected from wind on all
sides, and always freezes smooth, and under
the shelter Of its shores, lined as they are
with magnificent trees, the skaters find pro-
