The effectiveness of an editorial
depends entirely upon the amount OF
study put upon it by its writer. I'm
less the editorial represents real
idea emanating from the thought OF a
trained and vigorous thinker, and
eouched in pungent language, its a
fat failure. Editorials should be so
laden with meaning as to burn into
the memory of their perusers. Unless
those who write 'em expend grey
matter in turning them out, but lit
tie can be hoped to be accomplished
by Their production. Every editorial
should be planned and written for a
purpose, and if costructed that way
will bring forth fruitage.

The year lies white in the distance,
Like snow that no step has married,
And we look at its shining surface
AS though through window barred,
And we wonder what idle footsteps
Shall trample the fallen snow,
Just as we watched and wondered
A year ago.
Since then so many footsteps
Have fallen and stumbled past,
That the white perfection of promise
Grew scattered and dark at last;
But the new drifts lie on the pathway
To cover the blackened snow,
And New Year comes in its beauty,
AS it came a year ago.

and we shall, in all EuInan probabili-
tv. pass it and struggle on to the
next. as we sit at our desk and pen
this short epistle to the young, we
wonder if anything we may write
will cause them to think more seri-
ously of all life means to them and
the brief period that is given them
to improve it. The boy makes the
man, the girl the woman. My boy
how do you want to be remembered
by the people after you are gone, as
a Lincoln or as a Booth? My girl,
what position do you wish to occupy
In the hearts of the people with
whom you have lived? You are the
moulders of your own destinies. You
can make them what you will 1t
rests with you whether your name
shall go down in history honored or
cursed, or whether it shall pass into
oblivion as soon as the earth has hid
den your mortal remains. Now is
the time to choose. There are only
two roads to travel; one leads to hap
)iness and honor, the other to sorrow
or degradation. We suppose you
want TO travel the first mentioned.
Arc you doing it? AS the appren-
tice works at his task and each sue
|ceeding dav turns out work more per-
feet than on the proceeding one, SO
should we make each succeeding year
OF our lives more perfect. Are we
doing this? Do we take time during
the hurry and hustle of the holiday
Eseason to review our work of the
Pyear and see wherein we have made
mistakes, jotting them down in our
memory as to be avoided in the flu
ture? That boy would never have be-
come a perfect workman if he did not
avoid the mistakes of yesterday. We
must never make the same mistake
twice, and in order to guard against
doing so, we must look back and find
the mistakes we have made. Will
you do this, boys and girls? Will you
rest from your play and jollity for
just a little season between now and
January l, 1909, and recall those in
discreet words, those hasty actions
that will prove stumbling blocks in
the way of your becoming strong,
helpful men and women, honored and
loved by all for your noble character
Will you do it?

new YEAR REVERlEs.

If you find it so difficult to keep
your New Years resolutions, perhaps
it would be a good idea to make a
few bad ones this time, for change.
For instance, you might resolve to be
cross to your wife Gf you have one)
every day during the year, and then
give her gentle words and loving
kisses instead. You can thus be cons
sistent with your past record, and
possibly be better man when anotli-
er year rolls around.

WILLIS NJ. COCHRAN ACCIDENTLY KILLED.

The sad accident that ushered Will
lis W. Cochran into another world on
Christmas Day is too well known by
now to require much detail of mar
narrative at our hands. He started
out with party of five on hunting
expedition that day. Willis walking
behind his immediate companion, Joe
Peacock, while Ricn Cochran, Jim
Prentice and Dave West composed
the balance of the party, this trio
coming along behind but out of sight
ofthe two. The loud report of a gun
followed by cries. hurried the trio
forward and they dashed upon a
scene of horror, for Willis lay on the
ground gaspinglout his last breaths,
with the top of bis head shot away,
while Peacock stood by nearly frantic
from the awful effects transporting be-
fore his eys, of the accidental dis
charge of his gun, caused as he walk
cd, by the twig of a downhanging
limb catching the trigger. A cor
oner's inquest held next day by Fred
Amsler rendered verdict concur
rent with the above circumstances,
Willis was taken to the home of his
wife's mother across the line in
Wayne Co. and buried the Sunday,
following, Dec. ~, 1908. Sad and
horrible indeed is such happening
emphasizing again the unfortunate
consequences of firearms so often &C.
curing when not handled with ex-
IRENE care.
