SANS NEW YEAR RESOLUTION

Big-Foot Jim and FIVE or six other
citizens of Pizen Hill were formed in
line at the general delivery window Of
the postofice on New Years morning,
waiting for their mail, when Grizzly
Sam sauntered in and created a de-
cided sensation by announcing:
Boys, I've bin thinkin' the matter
wei fur sum time, and I've finally de-
cided to begin the New Var by tarnin'
over a new leaf and becomin' a better
man"
"W-what's that" gasped Big-Foot
Jim, his eyes bullying out with aston
ishment. "Goin' to turn p~arson?"
'No-no. not exactly parson," contin.
ued Sam, taking his place in the line
and looking defiantly into the sneering
faces around him, "but jest kinder to
behave a leetle more respectable like.
Fur instance, I'll cut down my usual
fifteen drinks o. hker a day to thir-
teen"
"It'll hurt yer r~eputashun like thun-
der II We do, SAM" cautioned one of
the crowd.
ssWWali I can't help It, boys-i've fully
resolved to do 1t. I'm also goin' Il
ease up considerably on SWARM, too.
Fur instance, stead o. laying awake
nights maxim up n~ew-fangled kuss
words to s next day, why, I'll jest
repeat the old ones"
"But every critter in Pizen Hill will
be down on vel" put in some one else,
with a shake of his head.
Reckon they will, but I'm a-goin' to
stick her out. I've also resolved to
change my wicked fghtin' ways, too.
Stead o. chasin' around a-lookin' fur
three fights a day, I'll jest sot down
and let the ightin' cum to me. In
course, ltIl be mighty lonesum, but
I've allus treated the crowd squar' and
they can make it up to me In fights"

Sam and went outside to talk the mat
ter over. He received a letter at the
window and was studying it out when
Big-Foot Jim came in to say:
We've Jest been argerin' your case,
Sam, and the varidct ar that with your
new r~esolushions you'd hardly be a fit
man fur us to have around yere, and
so you'll have to go. In course

and chuckled grimly, I've gotter git

And when We had packed up and
started off the citizens of Pizen Hill
heaved a sigh Of relief over the narrow
escape the town had had of going to
the bad, and began the New Year by
engaging in a fight, in which two sa-
looms were totally wrecked and a doz-
en- men more or less injured.

FIRE RANGERS OF CANADA.
Millions Of Dollars Worth OF Timber
Saved Through Their Labors.

Millions of Dollars Worth Of Timber
Saved Through Their Labors.
The Canadian fire ranger goes into
the woods about May l and stays till
Oct. 1. Two men are always sent
together as ENTHUSIASTICALLY a young
mar and Z OK middle age. Their
duties are. First. to locate and run"
the boundary lines of the domain,
blazing the way on trees and opening
trails; then they must travel" the
tract once so often, placing on con-
spicuous trees along the trails and
portages the government signs, print
ed on linen, warning against the reck'
less building of fires and containing
the definite rules to be observed.
They are supposed to keep watch
of camping parties and people journey
ing through the tract, to see that
these rules are obeyed and that the
game laws are not transgressed. In
dry weather every part Of the limit
must be visited within a certain num-
Der of days. When the weather is
wet the duties are not arduous, for
at such times the forest will take care
of itself.
Millions Of dollars, by means Of this
supervision of forests, have been
saved to the dominion Of Canada and
to the Individual owners Of its vast
stretches OF timber. To the lover Of
nature travelling through the silent
places" the fire rangers camp or
shack Is always a haven Of welcome,
for the lonely Waterman of the forest
never fails to bid you share the shell
ter Of his roof and partake with him
Of his wholesome fare.

BY Talking About a New Years Bill
Just at the Wrong Time.

BY Talking About a New Years Bill
Just at the Wrong Time.
1t was New Years day and the fair
Miss Snobberly was entertaining a
caller. The caller was a shining light
in the inner circle of society and a po-
tential aspirant for her hand.
20, MI. OLDHAM" she cried, taking
him to the end of the room, "see this
darling old colonial chair which ar
rived yesterday from papa's ancestral
home in Vermont. Did you ever e
anything sweeter in your life?"
"Why really, Miss Snobberly, 1t is
a delightful bit Of furniture, and no
doubt full of the most delightful asso-
Citations"
"Yes, indeed; 1t belonged to ah-the
founder of papa's family in this coun-
try, and has cradled-no, l don't mean
that-it has been used by all the sue
ceeding generations"
How very interesting"
Eyes; isn't it? To think OF my
neutrality-suspicious. being sung to
sleep to the music of some old Puritan
psalm in that very chair!"
"It Is, indeed, a valuable heirloom
Eyes; and look" her voice took in
a fresh note of triumph as she pointed
to the back, "look where deeply
carven and black with age are the let
tiers F. l.. S., my great-grandfather's
initials. Think, Mr.. OLDHAM, when
those letters were carven Americans
still prayed publicly for the king and
the royal family, the battle of Bunker
Hill was yet undreamed of and"
Here in the next room arose a voice,
morose and loud, a voice which had its
training on the board OF trade.
Maria" said the voice, 1--we just
been looking over these New Years
bills, and here's one / don't under
stand. TO an exact reproduction OF
colonial chairs, $49.' That's all right,
of course; l suppose it's that old junk
shop affair in the front parlor-though
why you wanted to buy a thing that
looks old when I can afford brand new
ones / don't understand. But it's this
item that puzzles me: TO carving
three letters on the back and produc-
ing the appearance of age. So Now,

But Mr.. OLDHAM heard no more; he
had caught his breath sufficiently to
tell Miss Snobberly that he had a lot
more calls to make and must bid her
good afternoon.

winters chilling gloom, give rest and
ease my soul; the pine logs roared and
Missed in glee and warmed my sh1v-

I'd see Old Year depart HIS way, the
New Years gentle birth, while watch

had a guest, who used my bowl and
weed, a bony mortal at his best, whose
beard had one to seed!

So naught I said, but let him drink

From where times pillows rise

Across the foamy bars.
Through skies OF gray thai sUetcn

Her wild hair floating free.
She comes to where her kingdom lies
BY either land or ca.
For her the dawn's pale buds OF light
Are round her pathway thrown,
AS like a banner in the fight
The night is backward blown,
And dims afar the last lone star
AS on her chariot goes,
While in the east the later streaks
Grow ruddy as a rose.
And fades the old years wosn-sus
scythe
AS some half-moon's faint line,
And January's heralds blithe
In icy shine,
While round her train the frozen rain,
That some misname the snow,
Has caught a million sun-glints bright
From out the sunrise glow
And glad her face as on she speeds
Toward the rising sun,
With light Of hope and noble deeds
OF faith and duty done,
And in her eyes the swift surpniss
or all that round her waits,
Where morning, as she passes by,
Has opened wide the gates.
