AS FATE DEGREES.


The sun comes up and the sun goes
And the heavens smile and the heavens
frown
And the end is the same for king and
clown
And the world goes rolling on.
We follow the trail of vanished hope,
We toll amain up the rugged slope
or life. or else in the valley grope-
And the world goes rolling on.
We sprinkle the grave of our dreams with
tears
And lessons we learn in the shifting
years
From plans gone wrong, as our vision
clears
And the world goes rolling on.
We waste our strength in futile toll
Where the shaekled slaves of fortune
moil
Where hearts are broke in ruthless coll
And the world goes rolling on.
Comes day or highland who would
weep?-
When the death dews fall and the shad-
ows creep
And like tired children we fall asleep
And the world goes rolling on.
JANUARY 1.
This is the day when we swear off from
all of our bad habits,
When we climb on the old water wagon
and vow Wen stay there forever.
This is the day for resolving to quit
being idle and foolish,
To work hard and save up our money
and worry no more over trif1es;
When the rustic of new leaves a-turn-
ing runs over the land like the furry
OF wind in the tree tops and all of our
friends and our neighbors
Are feeling both sanity and proper and
ready to walk into heaven
On the narrow-guage pathway of virtue,
from which they will shortly be stray
ing.

EAA FEN who enjoy the various sports hN should not dress to the extreme during the hot summer months this season. Loading ones self down with unnecessary impedimenta, whether they be clothes or strappings, proclaims him a novice at the sport. The golfer wears almost any old thing. but the knickers are under the ban. The trousers are TOW full length and are generally made Of flannel pair of seryiceable tweeds will answer the purpose. The hat Is very often dispensed with on the links. The shoes may be low-cut russets, with good, thick soles to pound the turf.
 Knee length drawers add greatly to ones comfort and lend ease and boise in ones play. Trousers are turned up at the bottoms; the belt is a narrow one and the hose are very sheer 1isle. Flannel trousers are best suited for tennis, the white duck being no longer worn. The belt Is of white buckskin. The true yachting advocate has done away with all appearance of 'dandyism,' desiring to appear more like a seasoned sailor. The dress in each particular club often differs. Horseback riding calls for skin-tight brooches, long boots and the cutaway coat.

A Ne,U B,trqlar Alarm.

nEPUTY CONSUL-GENERAL ULTs- hSES J. BYWATER reports that a AV Dresden engineer has invented the latest and. he thinks. the best burglar alarm now in existence. The appliance has been tested by the Dresden police department and found very effective. The appliance itself Is very simple. consisting of a curtain or portiere wired with fine conductors. At certain places on the cur tain are fixed small metal knobs. which are connected with the conductors. The curtain Is then drawn across the window or door, or around a safe. and the slight est disturbance of this position imme- diately breaks the circuit us the metal knobs are thrown out of contact with each other. If the burglar should hap pen to notice the knobs and cut several of the wires the breaking of the circuit would also start the alarm Any cur tain. unless made of freproof material. would also act as a burglar alarm. The alarm itself may consist of a series of bells, lights or other electrical appli- ances. The invention caH be used to pro tect doors, windows or safes, and the curtain can De arranged to suit the indl- yidunl.

 ''What I had fin mind is the hot air passed out by the wise guys who, once they are anchored by a cold bottle-of beer-in a friendly rathskeller are cer- tain they could lick Jeffries and Johnson in the same ring without even taking on their coats.

He gave his reasons for having the gun in his possession and stated that he had been an asylum employe and that he came to this city in the hopes of ob- taining such employment.

 A GOAT PROBLEM-There is a goat in the city pound, taken by the dog catcher yesterday afternoon. A rumor is afloat that the goat is a well known citizen of Phoenix, being the same that was interviewed by The Republican a few months ago con- corning the cleaning up of a lot be- longing to the Elks, against the un-
 
 ems club, highly interested in the preservation of the beauty of the city, had protested. Whether the goat is the same individual could not be definitely learned, as he was placed in solitary confinement to await his trial. Another rumor has been start ed to the effect that the goat is the same which was previously arrested by the dog catcher, but which was released upon it's own recognizance when it wa learned that stray goat could not be disposed of according to the provisions of the dog ordinance. In its present status the question presents many legal difficulties and if the goat is not taken out of the pound by it's owner or sold at auction from the pound, the city council may be called to meet in special session to arrange for the disposition of the bewhiskered philosopher.
