New Years In French Canada.

New Years day to the people OF
French Canada is as much OF social
holiday. as much Of a children's fes.
tival. as Christmas is to their English
speaking fellow citizens. As in the
United States. France and England. 50
in the province of Quebec the religious
observance Of Christmas Is very much
more imposing than that Of New
Years day, but among the French
Canadians the day OF social festivity
and family reunions and of the giving
and receiving of gifts is not Christmas,
but New Years. To many of the
younger portion OF French Canada's
population New Years day Is still
known, as IL was I'm those provinces of
France from which their fOrefathers
came, as lie Jour des etrennes-the day

Whatever the formal ceremonies at

When Robert rode up to the Brent

lost twenty pounds. He was pale and
thin. ana he walked with q cane. With
a sigh of content he dropped into the
easy chair which Mabel rolled out for
him. There was no alluslon TO the bet
during the evening for which Robert
was inwardly grateful, but such an at
mosphere Of appreciation, such tender
ness of speech and touch and solicitude,
that Robert felt that she was the only
woman who understood him, and he
fiattered himself, man fashion, by
thinking that she was worth the fight
he was making. And just before car
riage came to take him away he drank
a glass of fruit juice which Mabel said
was of her own concoction.
Alcohol is a kind of liquid cement
which binds men of bibulous type to-

lNNl the first Thanksgiving celebra-
I'M ton, and Philadelphia may
have inaugurated the Fourth
| of July racket, but the initial New
Years day observed by white men on
| American soil was celebrated on the
island of Haiti Jan. l, 1893. Just what
there was to that celebration will new
er be known. Columbus, for he was
master of ceremonies. was so busy
with other matters that lie failed to
leave a record. But it is impossible
that Europeans should have let their
first New Years in new world pass
by without some observance.
1t was on the 1st day of January,
1892, by the way, that Columbus met
the sOvereigns OF Spain, Ferdinand and
Isabella, and concluded with them the
contract for his voyage of exploration
and discovery. That might be called
the initial New Years, though it was
not spent in America. 1t was sort of
prophecy, as it were, of the day that
was to be spent in the then undiscoy-
cred country one year later.
1t was not until August that the
three ships got under way. Then they
sailed into new seas in search of a
continent that had been hidden from
the knowledge of man all through the
ancient and middle ages. But Column
bus did not know that he was to find
such a continent. He was seeking a
western route TO India and died in the
belief that the land lie found was a
part of Asia. He accomplished more
than he knew. The divinity that
shapes our ends" was kinder TO him
than his own provision.
Across the unknown ocean he sailed
until, almost becalmed in the tropic
seas. each of his vessels was like
painted ship upon painted ocean, Ii
was then that the crews well nigh Inu-
tinted. Only the indomitable will and
courage Of Columbus kept them upon
their way. At last floating seaweed
and flying birds told of approaching
land. BY following the fight OF the
birds the new shore was sighted. Amer
lea was discovered, and new era was
opened in the history of humanity.
1t was in October that the landing
was made. The thing was accom-
plished, or Columbus thought it ac-
complished, of which he had dreamed
from youth. Through poverty, neglect,
ridicule and rebuffs he had sought~nll

headed at thirty, and now he was far
past forty. But he had been faithful
TO his vision, and his reward had come.
From island TO island the voyagers
passed until Cuba was reached and
then Haiti, where the discoveries flag
ship was wrecked. The natives, who
were delighted with the visit Of the
white men, helped him save his wreck
age and cared for him and his crews
until lie was ready for the return voy-
age. II was Christmas morning when
Columbus landed at Guarico, and IL
was Jan. 4, 1893, when he sailed away
for Spain. So the New Years day was
spent among the hospitable Haitian ma
tives.
The birth of 1906 marks the four
hundred and thirteenth anniversary OF
the day since then, very brief time in
the life of the world. but very long
