A NEW YEAR CHAR.
ACTER JOURNAL.
SUGGESTED BY THE CHILDREN's s
FRIEND"

Boys and girls, did you ever keep a
diary? Begin one on New Years Day.
Number the pages. 365 of them. and then
set aside those OF even numbers to chroni-
Gle your good deeds and worthy achieve
ments upon, reserving the odd-numbered
ones to bear witness to your shortcomings
and failures during the year. Then let
the gume begin; let Earnest EndeavoF.
combined with Unseldshness. fortify itself
against Half-heartedness and SeIfshness.
This battle OF Right against Wrong will
give you added strength of character, for
the ordinary little errors. which sIngly
seem so small, will, when written down
in black on white. assume formidable
proportions. showing to you your own
weaknesses in glaring prominence.
From day to day you viii find yourself
striving to fill the pages that are marked
with the even numbers. feeling a sense
Of victory each time you turn the odd
numbered page without a word written
on It. When half the year Is out you
may have the satisfaction of finding the
blank even-numbered pages few in num-
ber; then by right of conquest Earnest
Endeavor and Unseldshncss may claim
the alternate pages set aside for the use
OF Half-heartedness and SeIhshness, thus
defeating the enemy in his own camp.
So just try keeping a New Year Journal;
It will help you in surmOunting obstacles
more than you can imagine. 1t will be
the open book of your heart and soul:
in 1t you must hide nothing from yourself;
therefore. you viii be careful to do moth
ing which would bring the blush of shame
to your cheek or the throb OF remorse to
your heart when reading of 1t In your
journal q few days later

Poor Old Old-Year .

On the eve OF New Years birth
Bells are ringing glad;
But the heart OF poor old Year
Must be very sad,
For the children gayly say:
'Old Year must die today
And throughout the land be blessed
For the twelve months long;
Not a tear Is dropped for him.
Nor for him a song.
Thus he dies. unmourned, alone,
Just as Gay New Year Is born.

may desire to for the New Year. It shall
bring you what you both deserve-peace.

fair, Buesse began kicking and MADE
no effort to field the ball while TWO
Sumter runners scored. There were
two other decisions that Manning OBJ
jected to, one at first base when sum
ter runner was declared safe because
the Manning first baseman did not
have his foot on the sack and failed 10
touch the runner, the othera very close
decision at second when Manning
runner was declared out when he was
apparently safe. But even granting
that all of these decisions were lncor-
rect, which we do not concede, sumter
won the game by heavy batting later
in the eame. not to mention two or
three close decisions that were in Man
nino's favor and to which there was
objection on the part Of Sumter specta-
tors.
The third game the writer did not
witness. 1t was umpired by Mr.. a. X.
Sanders and it is stated that there was
not a kick by either side during the
game.
Sumter people do not stand for dirty
ball playing and every team that has
been here has been given a square deal
and whenever possible a disinterested
out of town umpire has been secured
so that there might be no reason for
charges of unfairness by disgruntled
teams that suffer defeat.

Ziem, the artist, was queer cnarac-
ter. He lived in q house at the top OF
the Rue Lepic on Montmarre. His
house was his castle in the literal sense
of the word. 1t was difficult to obtain
admission, for the painter had an up
per window out of which he always
looked when the bell rang and interro-
gated his would be visitors. he bad a
basket which he let down by cord to

His house was a veritable museum, IL
Illuminated Persian manuscripts being
part Of his collection. Some OF these
were worth thousands of francs, but 1t
was impossible to persuade him to sell
any Of them. In place Of newell post

Ordiorne umpired. The clouds were
low, but the spirits Of the ball tossers
were high. The game went on ike

worked hard, the game was superb,
the score board showed goose eggs for
both sides until the fifth inning, when
Yancey BY couple of hard stea.s, and
a mighty tight squeeze, landed safely
on home lplate. Orangeburg at once
realized her finish, and went to the bat
for her sixth, but went out IN one, Two,

once more. Manning gave Orange

of the boys went with them. In the
afternoon the news from Camden was
