to be a grand production OF western

an artist was sent over the actual
ground, to get the proper idea and to
make sketches of each place where the
interesting scenes are taken from.

a Greeting to
the Coming Year .
s:}-Ny---v,--.s.vt----vt~fa

We are on the threshold of new
year. We do not know what the year
holds for us, but we are not afraid of
it. We have learned to look for kind
ness and goodness in all our paths.
and expectation.
II is always serious thing to live.
We can pass through any year but
once. II we have lived negligently,
we cannot return to amend what we
have slurred over. We cannot corFest
mistakes, fill up blank spaces, erase
lines we may be ashamed of, cut out
pages unworthily filed. The irrevo-
cableness of life ought alone to be
motive enough for incessant watchful-
ness and diligence. Not a word we
write can be changed. Nothing we do
can be Cancelled.
Another element of seriousness in
living is the influence of our life on
other lives. We do not pass through
the year alone; we are tied W with
others in our homes, our friendships,
our companionships, our associations.
our occupations. We are always
touching others and leaving impress
sions on them. Human lives are like
the photographers sensitized plates.
receiving upon them the image of
whatever passes before them. Our
careless words drop, and we think not
where they fall; but the lightest of
them lodges in some heart and leaves
its blessing or its blight. All our acts.
dispositions and moods do something
in the shaping and coloring of other
lives.
It is said that every word whispered
into the air starts vibrations which
win quiver on and on forever. The
same is true also of influences which
go out from our lives in the common
est days-they will go on forever
This should make us most careful
what we do, what we say, and what
quality of life we give to the world
1. would be sad indeed If we should
set going unholy or hurtful influences.
if we should touch even one life un-
wholesomeiy, il We should speak even
a word which starts soul toward

it, that is all life is for anyway. to get
a little more character day by day
out of toll, out of pleasure, out of
discipline, out of mistakes and fail
ures even. That is the best possible
thing the rich can get out of 1905.
That is within the reach of the poor

And a comprehensive forward look
ought to embrace besides 1905 the
year after 1t, and the year after that.

renown volunteered their services. The
men left London in August, 1903, in a
brig belonging to Major Daniels,
touching first at Sydney, Australia,
and thence due north to the island. II
Is not probable that the entire island
was explored. although It is safe to as
sumo that no important territory was
left unvisited. The Denver letter
speaks of exhaustive data secured,
which will be published in London.
Thousands of photographs were taken,

Dr. c. G. Seligman, a noted cancer

The trip was suggested by Major Dan

Looking

G-N,--~A--.~1A,-~-vt-E

Despite all that cynics and jokers
say about new resolutions and the use-
lessness of looking ahead, there Is a
glory about these opening days of the
year which comes not again until
twelve months have flown. 1t is com.
parable only To the splendor of a sum-
mer sunrise, to the peace and Joy
upon the face of pure young bride
as she goes to the marriage altar. to
the thrilling moment when stately
ship glides for the first time into the
waters. All the charm and potency
that go with beginnings belong to the
initial days of January.
A man may. perhaps. be pardoned
for being unwilling to look forward.
but he misses 1t IL he is too busy or
too Indifferent to look forward. to
stand for a moment this morning at
his chamber window and looking out
upon the world to send his gaze for

1t hold for you? What do they all
amount to anyway-these swiftly pass

like this wonderfully clarifies the vi
