THE OLD DEAD YEAR.

Another tale to be seldom told,
How sadly soon to grow stale and old,
Though much be buried beneath the
mould
Of the old dead year.
There are VOWS that number and many
a score,
There are vows have been vowed and
DER and DER,
Vows made to be broken as oft before
In the old dead year.
Mistakes were made, and who has not
made
Mistakes and mistakes, though he
prayed and prayed?
AS well mast be buried beneath the
shade
OF the old dead year.
There were tears of JOY, tears woe
supplied:
Ambitions escaped that will ever hide:
There were plans that lived, and plans
that died,
In the old dead year.
Many have lived. and with pleasure
true.
And many have died YOU NAV feel
it-you.
Som" pain, some Joy, comes with each
review.
Oh the old dead year.
ID q You thoughtless look on misfortune
sad:
Did You frown at the good, and smile
. at the bad:
Did you add to the ,uti ring, or help
make glad,
Through the old dead year:
Was yonr influence wrought. or for
good or ill9
Was Your time dispensed lfes urn
With the chances yours with Peace.
Good viii,
In the old dead year?
Ihcrr We're kind deeds done should
memory keep,
But the sad mistakes are as we'll TO
sleep
With the silly vows all buried deep,
With the old dead year.
Enough to look to the New Year mark
For the more of Light and less o

Let good thoughts live, let die wrong:

Do this and know there is Peace,
Good Will,
In your hearts of hearts, to the worle

DUCKS CLEAN UP OHIO TOWN

White Wings to Whom Name
Applies Literally.

Bellefontaine, C.-The white wings
of the Town of Lakeview, near here,
are literally white wings now. They're
ducks.
Recently the finances of the village
fell to such a low ebb that 1t was i'm.
possible to longer employ a street
sweeper, so his services were dis.
penscd with. Still there remained u
few dollars in the treasury. One of
the aldermen proposed that the money
be invested in a flock of ducks which
would forage in the streets and eat
the rubbish.
Lean ducks were brought and
turned loose in the streets. They
started in to eat the waste from the
streets at one end of town early in
the morning and cat to the other
end, when they are turned backward
or shifted to another street.
