The Best New Year Resolution.

Edwin Markham, in Success Maya
zine: The noblest resolution tat
any citizen could make for the New
Year would be the ersolution to
live more faithfully by the Golden
Rule, that sublime principle of con-
duct for this world and for all worlds
Failure to live by this law causes the
chief sorrows and collisions among
men. ~ tf3
Let each earnest man search into
his words and ways, determined to
find the special manner in which he
breaks the Golden Law--his special
habit that works injustice or unhap-
piness in his shop, his office, his
home, his city. He will find, pc :
taps, that in the shop he is in the
habit of misplacing tools, and this
hinders the work of his comrades,
that in the Office he is in the habit
of being late in keeping appointments
and thus steals other peoples time;
that in the club he is in the nabi
of belittling worthy competitors anf

At one point Mr.. LIE Gallienne says:
Perhaps the most sensible wife a

fore. She is. already versed in the
ways of man, and learned in the gem

brings to her new husband the fruits
of experience and belongs to that
class known as skilled persons. Like
the old English dowager, she knows
how "to feed the brute and general

the wise man is he who marries the
wife that has been a wife before. In
such a union there are none of those

UP TO BUSINESS men
Must Raise the Money. for the
May Demonstration.
FlRENEN TAKE FINAL ACTION
Put Responsibility Of Raising Funds
On the Business Men For Big


1t is now up to the business men Of
Martinsburg to determine whether r
not we shall have a big firemen's dem
onstration here next May This ulti-
matim is the outcome Of a meeting
held Monday night in firemen's hall
in answer to call by Chief J p.
Talhelm.
The call was extended to the presi-
dents and captains of the five local
fire companies, and all We're repre-
scented at the meeting except Ryneal
Co. No. !. Chief Talhelm presided
and Mr.. Max van sehlagell acted as
secretary.
A general discussion was had as to
the advisability of asking the aid Of
the business men of town TO raise the
necessary money for the proposed
firemens demonstration on the occa-
sion of the annual convention of the
G. Y. Firemen's association to be held
here about the middle of May.
After talking over the pros and cons
Of the matter at considerable length
and taking the present business de-
preston into consideration, as well as
the drain that has been made the past
year on the business men for the erec,
ton of the = NJ G. A. building, the
fremen thought it not proper 1T this
time to ask such and The sentiment
Of those present, after full and free
discussion. was embodied in a motion
that was unanimously agreed to.
This resolution was in substance
that the firemen decline to take the
responsibility of raising the money te
defray the expenses Of the proposed
demonstration, but that IL the business
men of Martinsburg will voluntarily
raise the funds the firemen are ready
and willing to go to work and hell
make the demonstration a success.
Now If the business men Of towr
! want this demonstration very badly
they viii have to get together and
raise the money-variously estimated
at from $1,000 to s1S00-otherwise th'
matter will be dropped and pretty
hard at that. BY reading betweeWth,
lines of the above resolution it will b.
noticed that that has already beer
done by the firemen. though 1t mus
be admitted that they acted wisely II
the matter, taking all the circum
stances and conditions into consider
alton.
