The Way You Look at Ii.

Don't look on the bright side OF
anything. Don't permit yourself to
see good in anyone. Don't have any
charity for your erring brother OF
sister. If you have any of the milk
of human Kindness in your heart
curdle it in some way. Believe that
all men and women too, are liars
and the truth Is not in them. Find
fault with your fellowmen. Say
mean things about your neighbor;
envy her; hate her; seek your own;
scrap if you don't get it; think evil;
rejoice in iniquity; endure nothing;
believe nothing, and if you are not
completely miserable and unhappy
it is because you have not yet
quenched the last vital spark of love
in your being.

What of the New Year?

The beginning OF the New Year
is the beginning OF new plans.
With most Of US it is an attempt
at least to begin new habits.
Every one turns over a new leaf.
1t matters not what the influences
or purposes may be, the new leaf
goes over January 1st, 1910.
To parents Of sons and daugh-
tiers well on towards manhood and
womanhood, the pages Of the new
leaf will not long remainSnhlank.
First, there is a long listVtf re-
sponsibilities and obligations that
must be considered. Parents do
not shrink from obligations, but
rather rejoice at them il the oppor
tunities are present to meet them.

In an article headed "Fool Dem
ocrats" the Miami News gives lite
readers some good advice, from
which we quote the following ex-
tract:
The fool Democrat forgets the
progress OF the times, fails to
support the best interests of his
party, does not recognize his
Republican neighbor to be az good
a man as he is, although standing
for different political principles,
and fights his campaign on the old
old plan OF prejudice. II Demo-
cracy Is to win in Missouri, and
in the nation, 1t mus be with clean
hands and on the highest moral
plane. Forgetting the prejudices Of
past years, and uniting in effort
to sustain the best principles Of
popular government, with equal
rights for all and special privileges
for none," thus only may any par
ty hope for lasting victory.
