THRESHOLD OF ANOTHER YEAR

What has the new year in store? Fortunately is not
within the ken of mankind to peer into the future sor-
row, sickness, troubles Of many kinds and perhaps
death lie in the pathway that all start upon at the
beginning OF 1905 There is happiness ahead for some
and misery for others Prosperity will smile here and
adversely win frown there The socalled lucky and un-
lucky ones will crowd through the busy world another
twelvemonth much like the characters in Vanity Fair
But 1905 will be largely what each individual makes
II SO far the person is concerned Fortune is less
imperious than most of its votares imagine. It is
amenable to influence and is swayed way the
other by the and character Of the person with
whom has deal instance 1t looks approvingly
on the man the whose actions deserve APP
proval but It turns aside from the who is de-
serving
Prosperity during the year upon which we now enter
is the aspiration Of all people Prosperous conditions
bring the means wherewth the person expects
to obtain the good things of this world But prosperity
depends in very large the industry frugaty
and good of the individual without earnest en-
deavor 1t would be folly expect It, AS they in the
east, Lighting may strike in midwinter, but it's not
apt to-"
Prosperity cannot be caught by sitting on a pier
and dreamy fishing for it. The man who pretends to
be looking for work while the time praying he
will not find it is doomed to poverty. And only
prosperity but health, freedom from trouble and all
else than make life worth living dependent largely
the Individual,
So far as the people of Los Angeles are concerned
and those of Southern California generally the outlook

today. individually and collectively enjoy greater
of prosperity and all else that goes to make
ii enjoyable than the people of any other American
community To the future in the vista of 1905, look
with confidence for the most prosperous year in the
history OF the southland and especially of its metropolis
And looking ahead at this bright prospect The Her
aid expresses the ardent hope that all it's readers and
all other people well, may enjoy prosperous and
happy year.
