The Santa Fe car and machine
shops in Ell Paso ore now closed down
and will remain closed for the next
ten days. The shops of the entire
Rio Grande division are also closed
and the cause of the general shut
down is the curtailment of expenses
that las been put in force in all de-
partments of the railroads. The
shops were closed last week and all
of1the men except those who are alb
solutely necessary to make the in
spection and repair works have been
laid off. The retrenchment policy
has resulted in the putting of eigh-
teen men out of employment in FL
Paso for a period of ten days. and it
is probable that the force will be cut
down when the shops open again.

Many SIeepless Nights Owing to a
Persistent Cough. Relief Found
at Last.

"For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most per-
sistent and dlsagreeable cough, which
invariably extended over a period of
several weeks and caused her many
sleepness nights writes Will J.
Hayner, editor of the Burnley, Colo,
Bulletin "Various remedies were
tried each year, with no beneficial re-
suits. In November last the cough
again put in an appearance and my
wife, acting on the suggestion of d
friend, purchased a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The result
was indeed marvellous. After three
doses the cough entirely disappeared
and has not manifested itself since"

gists.

with tears, may be put away, and
fresh, unstained pages substituted In
their place. 1t Is helpful to remind one
self that those broken resolutions of
1908 may be renewed in 1909, and,
what Is better, reinforced by more of
that prayer and divine grace for want
of which the idealizing resolves of the
past year were soon forgotten or went
so sadly unfulfilled. The new year
means, accordingly, a new hope, a new
song, new endeavor, a new outlook,
a new inspiration, a new determine
tion and a new grace-every new
thing that Is good appears to be posi-.
BILE in its gift. A hope like this makes
any doubter optimistic, and gives to
existence the character Of life worth
living.

depths should be cast every regret,
every halting doubt, and every ham.

period of our experience and which
would burden and hinder our worthy
efforts and spiritual progress in the

spirit, knowing that God, who has pur-
posed them for our uplift, will give
us grace to carry us safely through.
Happy New Year, The message is
sent far and near. Let the glad greet.
ing be heard on all sides. There Is a
prophecy and a promise in the New
Year. Even to those who are bent with
grief, or lonely by reason of bitter
bereavement it IS possible and timely
to say, though with lowered tone and
softened accent: Happy New Year!"
Every year will be a happy, or, at
least, peaceful, one in which the
presence of the Lord is realized

year should be an improvement on the
past, and offer it's additional oppor-
tunities for growing in grace and
Christlikeness. The Christian is a
convinced and convincing optimist
for, having heavenly hope which the
world can never give or take away,
he can in every condition of life find
a basis for an assured happiness ex-
pressing itself in the oft-quoted die.

These were presented to the king as
an omen of good fortune. The gifts
became more pretentious as time went
on, and in later centuries some of the
Roman emperors demanded New Years
presents of great value from the
magnates" of those days AS the
Roman rulers were gentlemen who
were not to be trified with, the pres
ents usually appeared on time after
notice to the wealthy was given.
1t was in Rome, too, that the habit
of masquerading at New Years ap-
pears to have originated. The custom
still observed in Italy now Is confined
to the celebrations at the Epiphany
and at the carnival time.
FESTIVITIES OF THE DAY
In some countries, notably in Great
Britain and in some cities in Canada
and the United States, the new year is
welcomed in by festivities on the eve
of the day. In Scotland, for instance,
It is customary to celebrate New
Years eve with some festivity, which
is prolonged until past midnight. At
the stroke of II every one present
wishes each other Happy New
Year" The custom Is also common
in many parts of Germany, where the
salutation is "Prosit Neu Jehr."
Similar to this custom are the re-
ligious watch meetings" held in some
of the churches in this country on
New Years eve. In England on New
Years eve, in some houses, curious
custom, or superstition. Is observed.
At the stroke of IL, which ushers in
the new year, the party, already wait

stairway backward. taking step at
each stroke. Every step successfully
mounted means a happy month, every
stumble a reverse. OF course, it Is
one of those playful superstitions
which are not taken seriously.

CUSTOM OF GIFTS.

Almost everywhere the custom OF
making presents on the first day OF
the new year has been observed. When
it originated, or where. it would be
extremely difficult, if not actually i'm
possible, to say. 1t is sufficient to
know that the observance has the
sanction of remote antiquity. In the
eighth century B. c. Tatius, king of
the Sabines, according to traditions,
began the custom among the Romans.
At first the gifts We're merely emblem
