HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A Happy New Year to all! Let's
start off happy, anyhow. A year ago
this morning there was a Happy New
Year before us. Perhaps it didn't per-
sist in being happy in just the way
and to just the extent we hoped 1t
would, but it has been on the whole q
pretty good year. Good enough to
warrant an optimistic wish and expec-
tation for the new year OF one thing
we can be reasonably certain, and that
is that the Happy New Year wont
have many such days in it as yester-
da.' was. OF all the-well, let us not
repine on this glad morning, when
everything ought to be cheerful and
when the little bills are singing their
sweet songs to US. T. is cause for
happiness that we have emerged I'M
submerged from yesterday, and even
if to-day doesn't bring forth just what
we want we shall soon emerge from
that, ana we shall continue emerging
until we strike something that BELTS a
Happy New Year. Let us, therefore,
be of good cheer anu continue In hope.

Perhaps boomers do not bloom as
they used to, but they are still worn,
and the fool man who thinks he can
safely criticise them will do well to
think twice A pastor in Greencastle,
Indiana, has just had to learn his les
son. When he called at the home of
Deacon Cammack and was greeted at
the door by Mrs. Cammack, dressed In
boomers, a blush of shame spread Ger
his cheek, even as the sunset glow
spreads Ger the western sky Then
his feelings moved his tongue and he
spoke sharp words unto good Mrs. Dea-
con Cammack. She resented the sharp
words, because she couldn't see any
thing wrong in the boomers, and Mr..
Cammack also felt bound to resent
them. Then the matter began to stir
the church Mr.. and Mrs. CammaE X
won sympathy and support from the
communicates until all religious 'ssses
became secondary to the bloonaer ques-
ton. The issue became so intense and
threatening that the presbytery Of In
dianapolis was appealed to for an opin-
ion, ana to bring peace to the troubled
waters the pastor was advised to re-
sign and seek another pastorate.
Of course the pastor should have
kept his thoughts to himself, and If he
had said anything he should have con
graduated Mrs. Cammack upon hel
appearance What does man, even il
he is a pastor, know about proprietS
