New Years Is grand, an inspir.
ing occasion, for it is always saturat.
cd with hope. We are wont to scot;
at and deride it as a day when men
make good resolutions only to break
them: when they turn over new
leaves, as it Is called, merely to turn
them back again. They want, they
hope to be better, and but few OF
them are so. They determine to ad-
vance, and il they do advance they
slip back. Their failures are many,
are continuous, and often excite
laughter. But 1t is worthier to de-
termine and decline, to hope and be
disappointed, than not to determine
or hope at all. Determination and
hope add to our content, or at least
diminish our discomfort, and they are
born of New Years. The great need
of human life Is content, never at
tained, never attainable. And
through New Years we are deluded
into belief of its possibility. There
fore welcome be New Years, not for
what 1t gives. but for what it prom
bes to give.

Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow
The year IL going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring In the true.
Ring out the grief that saps tho mind
For those that here we see nc
more:
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor
Ring In redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners. purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times
Ring out, ring out my mournful
rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and
blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust oi
gold:
Ring out the thousand wars of old
Ring in the thousand years of peace
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart. the kindlie1
hand:
Ring out the darkness Of the land
Ring in the TRUTH that Is to be.

In theory, the exchange of New
Year calls and Christmas gifts Is
beautiful custom. The holidays Is a
time when kindly feelings and uni
versal goodwill prompt general
manifestation of regard in the ex-
change of calls and presents. 1t is
the friendship expressed in the fact
mat is valued. The cause and not
the effect occasions the pleasure. All
look forward to the happy holiday
times when each is gladdened, and,
In turn, makes others glad by tokens
Of honest regard and friendly feeling.
The world fairly beams with good
cheer.

Newspaper publishers are prohibit
cd by law from sending their papers
10 subscribers who do not pay their
subscriptions in advance. The post
office department permits a short
time of grace for a subscriber to pay
for his paper but it is the safest way
to keep track of the dates on the
label and when the subscription ex-
pires to pay as promptly as possible.
If this is not done, the time of grace
is apt to slip by and then the paper
has to be discontinued, provided the
law is complied with, and no man
wants to be a law-breaker.

WHAT Is A LEG WORTH

The cold-bloodedness, the heart
hardening, marbleizing influence of
our modern, strenuous, selfish civili-
Eation which worships the dollar is
even influencing our courts of justice.
Recently q verdict against the Public
Service Corporation of New Jersey,
awarding. a poor girl $500 for the
loss of leg in q railroad accident,
was set aside by a Supreme Court
Justice on the ground that the verdict
failed to give due weight to the skill
with which mechanical surgery now
adapts artificial limbs.
This justice thinks that juries In
rendering their verdict for damages
in cases of mutilation, due to the
criminal negligence of public service
or other corporations, should take in
to consideration the great convent
ence and comfort of cork legs! In
this instance, he took the money
away from this poor mutilated girl
and returned it to the corporation.
wonder what this honorable gen.
tleman would be willing to take for
one of his legs, in case it was cut of
In a railroad accident? If he got a
verdict for $500 and a Supreme
Judge set 1t aside because the amount
was too much, what would he think
about It?
Now, as everyone knows, It Is much
worse for q girl to lose leg than for
man, for mutilated man is much
better able to earn a livelihood than
mutilated woman, and stands q
much better chance in life in every
way.
Is $500 too much to compensate
girl for going through life thus
mutilated? Is this compensation too
high for a girl who Is obliged to hob
BILE around on one leg all her life?
We are certainly In need of lessons
in kindness when a Supreme Court
justice dares to give expression to
such sentiments.

A young fellow in Havana who oc- 'cupied the position of reporter fell In love with a girl, the daughter of a wealthy planter. He applied to her father in the orthodox way for his consent to the marriage.
 'Presumptuousv' said the father, with eyes flashing. You. poverty stricken journalist, and my daughter! Sir, get out of my presence" The journalist was very angry. 1t brought forth a heated declaration of pride:
 "Your daughter is too good for me, | you say? I will marry a princess be- fore I die." And, with head erect, he left the irate father.
 | The journalist went to Spain. He wrote poems. The poems were read by the Princess Josephine. There was . meeting. The two fell in love with each other. 1t is said the journalist was so sincere in his affection that probably he forgot his declaration to the Havana planter. They were both royalty happy. eloped. married in Val ladolid and were eventua 1y pardoned
 by Queen Isabella, the one time jour
 nalist being received with all the re
 spect due to his new and high rank
