MISS HELEN GOULD.

Everybody's Magazine for January
says Miss Juliet Wilbor Tonnpkins'
character study of Helen Gould is quite
the best analysis of the personality OF
this interesting woman yet written.
Miss Gould ascribes to her father the
inspiration towards that philantllropieal
work which means SO much to the
american people. She is not a senti-
mental giver. but orders her charities
on business basis. Two secretaries and
a typewriter attend to her correspond
enee and she has a representative visit
ing the hospitals seeking worthy cases. 3

THE NEW YEAR.
Turning Over New Leaf and Good
Resolutions

With the year 1908 there must be good
resolutions, turning over OF new leaf,
a beginning of Improvement in all
things which are to make men and the
world better. It will be conceded that
many of the firm resolves of tomorrow
may not be lasting, but trying with
determination will lead to success in
many shortcomings
With the beginning of the new year
we may cling to the pleasant memories
of the past to the ideals which now and
then may creep into the heart like sun
beams to cheer and gladden. and give
strength to the hopes for the future.
Life is struggle for eternity; each
meets with responsibility, some more
trying and exacting. vexations at times,
and yet the fortitude, the patient, the
increasing endeavor, the untiring re-
solve to do better is essential to the
climax when the reward, the goal of
heaven is secured
To each and all of our readers and
friends we te1der best wishes, full meas
ured, pressed down and Tlunning over.
May one and all be attended with good
health and prosperity, the fullest bless
ings of life and prosperity.
