BESI NV VAR RESOLUTION.

The nOble-t resolution that any citizen
could make for :he New Year would be
the resolution 10 live more faithfully by
the Golden Rule, that sublime principle
of conduct for this world and for all
worlds Failure to live by this law
causes the chief sorrOws and collisions
among men.
Let each earnest man search into hiH
words and ways determined 10 find the
special manner in which he breaks the
Golden Law his special nablt that
works injustice or uuhappiness in his
shop, his Office, his home, his city. iIe
will find, perhaps, that in the shop he is
in the habit Of misplaciug tools, and this
binders the work Of his comrades: that
in the Office he il in the habit of being
late in keeping appointments ana thus
steals other peoples time; that in the
club he j. in the habit of belttlng
worthy competitors, and thus Joins the
gang Of thieves who steal regulations
that IN the home he Is in the habit of
monopolizlng the conversation, and thus
fails to draw out the powers of Others;
that in the city he is in the habit of
splitting on the sidewalk and thus spoils
the comfort Of his townsmen that in
business he il in the habit Of m.repre.
sentiug his goods, and thus robs under
the cover of custom.
There are problems in the Golden
Rule; and here are ample space and
verge for New Year resolutions space
and verge for building character. charac.
t-r which Is the greatest thing in man.

Rose From the Ranks.

Sir William White, who till recently
was director Of naval construction OF
Great Britain, began life as a ship
wright's apprentice, but his genius
carried him up the ladder with a
rapidity which startled his fellow
workers. He nearly lost his life once
through taking an experimental trip
with a submarine boat which on being
submerged stuck in the mud. 1t was
only after furious work with the
pumps that he was rescued.

Bad Temper a Serious Defect.

It IS said that badtempered WON
an can cause more actual unpleasant
ness for the rest of humanity than all
the other disagreeable features one
finds in life, and the unlucky posses
sor of an uncontrolled temper should
remedy the fault as soon as possible.
The woman who can control herself
under the most trying circumstances
is the woman who holds the strongest
lower over her fellow creatures. No
tlatter how beautiful and clever and
fascinating the badtempered woman
may be, her power is infinitesimal
compared with that Of her amiable Sis
ter. And amiability is not only power,
it Is mental progression and health
and happiness and long life TO ones
self aud to ones friends and family

CLERK FOR POLICE
Superintendent Wants Time 10
Look After Men.

For many years good deal has
been said regarding the need of a
clerk in the office Of the superintend-
ent of police, but the thing never as
sumed tangible shape until Monday
night, when the matter was called to
the attention of Mayor Thoms and the
commissioners Of the department of
safety after the inspection in City
hall. Mr. Beach explained in detail the
amount of clerical work in his office
and stated that he believed it would
pay the city to employ somebody, not
necessarily high priced person, to
attend to it. The mayor and the COM
missioners listened very attentively,
and while nobody committed himself
to anything, it was evident from the
way the superintendent remarks
were taken that the long talked of
clerk is coming. This matter came
up during the regime of Chief Egan,
but he didn't desire a clerk, preferring
to do that, with other things, himself.
But things have changed since that
time and Mr. Beach is Of the opinion
that 1t would give him more time to
look after the department if the cleri-
cal work were taken off his hands and
the commissioners, some of them, at
least, agree with him. Whether the
new clerk will be a girl Or an officer
of the department is not known. but
the general opinion is that some bright
young woman will be employed, who
will relieve the superintendent of all
this kind of work, thus affor(ling him
more liberty to get around and see
what is going on.

RAILROAD
REFUNDS

Order for refund of excess
freight charges on four carloads of
lumber shipped from Standpoint by
the Humbird Lumber Co. over the
Northern Pacific was entered by
mutual consent of attorneys before
Frank Lyon of the interstate COM
merce commission at hearing
held in the federal court room this
morning.
The shippers contention was
that the freight tariff had been
enormously published at higher
rate than the real tariff, a fact
that the railroad admitted. In or.
der to make the refund, however,
1t was necessary to secure an au-
thorization of the commission.
Commissioner Lyon held a hear.
ing yesterday at Tacoma. He will
leave Spokane in the morning. He
has nothing to give out on the pos
sibility of a decision in the Spo.
kane rate case.

The plea offered by Edward Null

fore Justice Mann this afternoon
was temporary insanity. The hear
ing was continued until tomorrow.
Mullens entered the saloon about

tor, who was tending bar, to pass
over the money.
Gust Hawkinson, who, with the
