Handy things to Remember.

CutS.-A drop or two of creOsOte
on cut will stop its bleeding.
Chimney on Fire-Throw salt or q
handful of sulphur on the CRATE.
Bites and Stings of Insects-Wash
with a solution of Ammonia Water.
Bottle Cleaning-Bottle are easily
clened with hot water and fine Goals.
Gilt Frames. - To restore gilt
frames rub with Il sponge, moisten in
turpentine.
Hair.-To clean hair, wash well
q mixture of soft water. | pint sal
soda. ounce; cream tarter t of an
ounce.
To Prevent furnishing lump OF
gum camphor placed in the silver
closet will, it is said. prevent the
pieces from furnishing.
Cold on Chest. flannel rag wrung
out in boiling water and sprinkle
with turpentine, laid on the chest,
gives the greatest relief.
Burns a paste of common
baking soda and water and apply it
promptly TO the burn. 1t will quickly
check the pain and inflammation.
To Clean Furniture. First rub

linseed oil: then rub clean, and dry

be taken that the oil is removed.
COuph.-BOil one O,nce of tIaySeed

lamp chimneys. When filling the
lamp drop the least bit of kerosene

gathers on the sash, is destructive to

linseed oil. Put it on with small
brush and then rub it with a piece of
flannel.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

very trying week. indeed and
can but tender you nay respectful
sympathy, fhorc arr those name
no names, of course. though possibly
some of you may have met some Of
them during the week just ending -
who declare dtSma.lv that Christmas
and New Year should be forthwith
abolished by Act Of Congress.
That is an exaggerated view to take,
and is due, possibly, to a surfeit of
the alleged joys associated with the
season. For pessimism follows hard
on the heels of pleasure, and he is the
truly wise man who can partake of
the last 50 prudently as to escape the
first. SO mote it be.
For my part, however, though for
a man getting into middle life the
fiarmS and excursions of the iovial
season now, happily, near over, are
really rather trying, | would not go
so far as to agree with those who
would abolish the twin festivals alto
gether. The thing is all right if you
strike the happy mean. That the
said happy mean takes some striking
does not affect the argument, obvi
Ously. and if those who missed it are
temporarily convinced that life is q
burden too grievous to be borne;
why. then, the moral is palpablc.
That is to say, it might be stated
thus: " Go thou and do otherwise"
But far as my personal obServa-
tiOn takes me, am not inclined to
think that the number of those who
celebrated both unwisely and IN

been, or will be any more numerous
than on past occasions Of the same
tenor. A policeman, at any rate
and policeman, | have always OBJ

eter in these matters-aSsured me
when | discussed the matter with
him, while yet Christmas was scarce
ly three hours old, that it had been
as orderly and respectable Santa
Claus holiday as he could remember.
And the records Of the Christmas
festivities tell the same tale. Here
and there there was a trifiing ebulli-
tion of mild savagery-an erratic up
heaval of elemental force strong
enough to fracture that veneer of de-
cency which we call civilization.
But these eruptions have been merci-
fully and surprisingly rare-so rare
as to be scarcely worth notice.
Wherefore conclude, with much sat
isfaction, | need scarcely say, that
on the whole we are progressing,
that though we do not take our plea
sures sadly hereabouts, we take them
reasonably. and that the year 1910
will be accorded, tomorrow, a re-
ceptiOn as decorous as any tolerant
person has any right to expect.
Under these pleasant circumstances

speaking, to shake hands with our

THE SUMNER RESORT IN cLOUDLAND.
MOCLIpS, Dec. IA, 1909.

MOCLIPs, Dec. IA. 1909.
1t was like 4 flash of sunlight in a
day which was growing constantly
cloudier, when the dear old STANDARD
was handed me- For a week or more
we've been cut off from the outside
world; even now. what little mail we
get comes through on handcar.
Those of you who have been driven
out of your homes by the recent
floods can understand the peculiar
sensation one feels floating around in
boats; and to feel that you might
land in the Pacific ocean or strand in
the Moclips river. Still, it is hard
to understand how one could live for
years in Olympia and never found it
possible to visit this portion of the
State. Moclips is a spot, once seen
is never to be forgotten. This de-
lightful stopping place between civil
izatiOn and the Deep Sea, is the Won
der of the world. The wonder to me
is where are the people who come
with the summer and spend money
SO freely. The extravaganza of eX-
penditure, is apparent on every
hand, the crowded hotels and apart
ment houses, the high priced restau-
rants, thronged by lavishly dressed
women and men; the aggressive au-
tomobiles threatening the lives of
those who use the beach to walk on,
are constant surprise.
But such is life in the great and
glorious west. Some can get and
some can not; some give all their
lives to gain wealth, others think it
not worth while. 1t is only wasting
words to talk to the young of the
vanity OF human wishes and human
endeavor. To them, this world is by
no means tleeting show. 1t is, on
the contrary, Il most beautiful and
wonderful world, world III which
they propose to play great part
and accomplish great results. But
our community is composed Of very
fine people. They are. 1t IS very
much to be regretted that we have
no church, but there are II few ear
nest ones who are doing much TO elC
Vatc those whom they come in con-
tact with, and whose mission is above
the worthless aspirations Of daily
life. Wc'v much to be thankful for.
We can breathe the pure ar straight
from the Pacific ocean and at the
same time feel the Divine presence OF
God in all His grand works.

Full oil berries red;

Round my darling's head.

Hopping on the sill,
And tapping on the frosted glass
With his little bill.

Sings very nice, no doubt;
But you are taking our nice food,
We must go without.
We often sang quite gaily,
Seeing berries grow
So thickly on the holly bush
Ripe for winters snow.

Crown her pretty head;
Please don't forget the hungry birds,
Give us crumbs of bread"
