For by spells it shines out, with bright
 radiance to meet, The snow laden branches, of tree limbs
 to greet, So in dark clouds of sorrow, sometimes,
 and despair, The bright silver lining, comes our
 hopes to repair, The thunder cloud sometimes with
 darkening appal, In it's course clears the air, and cheer
 doth recall. So ever our sorrow is tempered with
 love, Could we but discern, the kind hand
 from above: There are fruits of rejoicing, from seed
 sown in tears, And we praise the kind Father, that
 doth banish our fears, Giveth peace with earth's trials, and
 strength to contend, If we seek as helper, the Savior's our
 friend. The New Year brings with it new
 thoughts and new cheer, Shall we, keep good resolutions through
 the whole year; Will we strive to o'ercome some be-
 setting sin; And help some poor brother more com
 fort to win? There is much to employ the thought
 laden mind, Though the elements rage, with dark
 clouds behind. If we seek but some service for the
 good of the world, And help with our might to loves ban
 ner unfurl, With the New Year before us, let us
 work with will So far as we may, Gods commands to
 to fulfil.

price much below what was considered adequate for good shoes decade ago. Meigs & Go. select all the feathers used in their shoes, and set standard in style and making which insures> the very best results as regards comfort, style and service. The price at which Zenith' shoes are sold is enough to spend for good shoes, even though it is less than you are accustomed to pay for your shoes. The saving on two pairs year of Zenith" shoes is al- most sufficient to buy third Ipair. Every new and good style finds repre- sentatiOn in these shoes, and you have choice of any leather you wish. Try pair the next time and you will add your verdict to that of hundreds of men who now say that Zenith" shoes are the best $3.5O shoes made. In Meigs & Co.,. $ shoe department partic- ular attention is given to providing good shoes for boys; and of late man. niSh shoes for women have been ad- mitted to supply positive demand for them. In hats, clothing and furnish ings as well, Meigs & Go. offer the best possible value at each price.

ETNA LIFE.
ITS REMARKABLE PROGRESS IN 19(


 The condensed statement of the Et- na Life Insurance Company, of Hart ford, Conn.,, which appears elsewhere to-day, is a showing of growth and strength that must be especially grat- flying to policy holders of this sterling company, coming as it does after 9 year in which financial institutions have had many unusual conditions to contend against. In these days of in- surance progress one naturally looks to England, and to the largest company in the world issuing Life, Endowment, Accident, Health and Liability inSur- ance for big results, but when one looks over the Etna Life's record for 1903 the magnitude of the favorable results fairly astonishes him. The Etna Life, which is now over half a century old, has developed into one of the famous companies of the country, and is a not able monument of the business and financial ability of the president, Ex- Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley. When he took the helm twenty-five years ago assets, and was carrying about s78, ,0oO, GOO of life insurance. To-day it has over S68, ,OOO,OOO of assets, and is carry ing S226, ,OOO, ,O0O of life insurance, to say nothing of over S2OS, GOO, 900 of accident insurance, and immense lines of liabil- ity insurance. A very large and inn portant part of this splendid growth is due to the wonderful strides made in the accident and liability department of it's business. These are the impor- tant facts about what the Etna Life has been doing. It is, not only a mat ter simply of interest to it's policy hol ders, or to it's managers, but to every citizen of the country at large who seeks for the very best there is of in surance that really insures.

You know you have all done wrong; They assented very feebly,
 Then they all began their song. The pigs began to squeal,
 The COWS beloved the bass; The dog could bark no louder,
 Then they all joined in race. The meeting then came to order,
 And COW commenced to relate, That she'd like to steal more corn,
 And break down another gate. The horse more guilty than the rest, Told when travelling up hill; How he sat on the shafts to rest,
 And once did his master kill. To dig up the garden seeds,
 The rooster said twas no harm; But should let the hens drink first,
 Of the water on the farm. They cheered the dog best of all,
 As he wagged his tail and said; I like to chase pussy up tree,
 And run her around the shed. The pigs the shortest life of all,
 Had the saddest face that night; Because they did not have chance, To be good, bad, or right. The chorus now, commenced,
 And filled the air with thrill; All joining in their song of glee,
 Not one of them keeping still. The dog tried to drown the m out,
 Pigs no longer were forlorn; The rooster crowed until hoarse,
 The hens cackled till morn. Old Thomas brustled up and said,
 Twas the best time he could relate; Except when I sang under the window, To keep the boss's wife awake. This pleased them all so much,
 They gave tremendous roar; Giving the cat the most praise,
 As they danced upon the floor. John rolled and tumbled,
 Dreaming he was most dead; Then reaching out for his gun,
 As he arose from his bed. Now he awoke from his slumbers,
 To find it only dream; Yet how natural it was,
 And how real it did seem.

You frequently bear mention of dead languages. We'll, some facts are even deader, but these are not the kind that The Tribune Almanac deals in. By way of verifying that, just take a cursory glance over the issue for 1904, which is now on sale. It is not an AL manac in the dictionary sense of the word, but is really ready reference and guide book, containing everything that such compilation ought to have. And the material has been garnered and sifted and tested with the utmost care so as to secure absolute accuracy, or at least get as near to it as honest, painstaking endeavor will bring one. Herein will be found perfect gold mine of information on topics of in- terest, not only to every American, but likewise to all who care to know about us, our laws, population, off1ci- als, and so forth. (And by the way, if you have any friends in Europe, just send them copy and see if they don't appreciate it.) There isn't any thing missing in the way of records which the average man will want to know about. It doesn't matter what the subject-game laws, pension legis- lation, sporting statistics, facts about universities, colleges, patriotic soci- cities, population, public officials, to say nothing of a condensed guide of New York City, map of the under ground railroad system, showing the location of stations, and table telling railroad distances, fares, etc. In fact, it is really not an exaggeration to say that of hundred and one things a sane person wants to know, at least 99 will be found in The Tribune AL man2c.

 day, Proud of his growing strength, his
 pretty play, What do you know of Love like those who see The birth of Love with fear and misery? Cramped, checked, confined, it grows
 a crippled thing, It's birth an agony, it's strength sting. Like Isome poor mother whose more

Help US to prove, as we profess, Our fellowship with Thee; To manifest the loveliness Which in thy life we see. Thy gentleness to us impart, Thy purity bestow; The rest and peace of thy meek heart O let our spirits know. And as our various needs may be, Supply, correct, forgive; That we may live to learn of Thee, And learn of Thee to live.

A LESSON FROM THE SNOW

BY HELEN A. TAYLOR, GREAT PLAIN
 DISTRICT, DANBURY.

A snow storm is raging, the wind blow
 ing strong, And takes in it's course, the flakes
 along. We sit in the house, with but little to
 do, And read books, and newspapers, till
 we are blue, Then 'tis time, to write letters to
 those that we know, And tell of the Christmas and New
 Years, and snow, That comes in as a lion, mighty ard
 strong, Shaking the snow from his white mane
 along, Sturdy he greets us, with what he can
 do, Bringing cold zero weather, for us and
 for you. We sit by the fire with it's soul cheer
 ing glow, But we think of the poor, for whom it
 means woe. God pity them now, where ere they
 may be, The poor sailors too, exposed to rough
 Sea. It is different with all, when in sum-
 mer,s warm glow, We can move at our will and in free-
 dom can go, But the prospect is lovely, as from
 windows we gaze, On the sheen of the snow, when in sun-
 light it plays;
