where the Patch Belongs.

A New Highlander recently had occasion
TO engage . gardener. One morning two
applicants appearrd-one = decidedly
decent looking man, and the other Of
much less progressing appearance and
manner.
After very little hesitation, the man of
the house chose the latter applicant.
A friend who was present, evinced sur
prise at the selection, asking:
.Has that man ever worked for you be-
fore3'
"No," replied the other; ''in fact, !
never saw either OF them until to-day
ssThen why did You choose the shorter
man, The other had much better face"
"Face!" exclaimed the proprietor Of the

one OF the first tasks every navigator has
had to learn for centuries, with its

northeast by north. northeast, y and 90 on
around the other seven-cighths OF the
horizon, has given way to . new one,
which simply ID circle, divided into $50
degrees.
To avoid confusion in the period OF
transition, the old-style compass will be
used, combined with the new, the letters
indicating direction being taken on and
the degrees being represented. BY this
new marking, for example, to steer north
east the order would be given to the man
at the helm to make the course forty five
degrees. A southeast by south course
would be 146 Ia degrees.
Naturally, the innovation has met with
much opposition by the old-time officers.
They declare IL would be just a. reasona BILE

The stated time doesn make much differ
ence. Both usually mean about week
from the following Thursday.
You see, as in most things, we will not
look ourselves fairly in the face when we
are framing up the New Year resolves, to
say nothing to giving the resolution the
investigating eye. Such cold blooded
proceeding would take the pleasure out of
the is.udatory caress, and the resolution
wouldn't look so beautiful.

where it is always handy, and the store grows when
fed upon.
Anyone who can't muster up real consolation for
any failure and find some reason for pattlng him
self the back for certain acts of omission there
were none of commission he dares look in the face,
such woman is SO deficient in imagination
that there is hope.
OF course, if success has been won, it's different.
Then one is expected to give proper credit. Fool
ish folk make the vibrations of their voices do
the patting. Canny ones, through proclamation of
modesty, make others do the work, and this pattng
oneself by proxy is exceedingly popular peculiarly
dainty, highly reshed titbit. But II must be man
aged with discretion; for proxies likely to get
tired. They have their own backs, you know. Wise
folk measure the work actually done and the per
sonal part played in it with careful judgment, and
then frankly pat themselves the back; but with
nice discrimination
There aren't many truly wise people in the world.
If there were il would be highly uncomfortable for
some of US.
It's mighty good thing we are able to console
ourselves. even without justification; for without
that prop to our self respect should very likely
get discouraged and go TO smash.

Three Fateful Ingredients

THE familiar frst-of- the yearresolution is made
up of three parts sentimentaty, one part shame
and trace of earnestness. The kind of resolution
that works is made up of intelligence and pluck,
combination hard to beat.
OF course everyone is bound to fall now and again
When you completely overwhelmed, so utterly
cast down that you think the ought to apologize
for shining it's fine thing to be able to pat yourself
on the back with the honest feeling that you made
good fight. The pattng process is mighty valuable
just then It's the first step for starting in to fight
again, with a little intelligence, energy.

After Making the Resolution
HAVING relieved ourselves of respon

HAVING relieved ourselves of responsibility by
confessing when wrong, and expressing
our sorrow failure to have lived up to the
Resolutions, all with the soothing spinal tattoo, and
making announcement that January l we were
going to off for keeps, most of us straightway
plunged into reckless enjoyment of the things we
going to put away from us. We patted our
selves because were brave enough to enjoy them
as well brave enough to forego them. It's one of
the finest examples of what is technically described
as playing both ends against the middle. OF course
it requires expert sdesteppng to ones face but
all of us are reasonably proficient in that.
From the moment make up mind to Join
the procession of Swear Offs experience a certain
pleasurable eXcitation. Generally we decide to
make a complete job of the Resolution business.
Maybe some of us like the professional sinners
who regularly backslide every year for the JOY of
being converted all again. We make whole
lot of resolutions and between each resolve
pause give careful credit to ourselves We deserve
that for even thinking of them. No matter how
there is never the slightest irritation weari-
ness.
It's curious when stops to think about it, how
we can 90 through this Swear OFF formula year after

the comfortable feeling that he has done all that
could be expected of him. He will not have to
strain himself to live up to expectations. After all
it is his affair. The Constitution of these United
States guarantees the right to the pursuit of happi
ness without specifying the method.
Maybe you not like the most of us. You may
be in earnest; although, if you are, you haven't
waited until January to turn over new leaf. If
you have stopped to think about it, you know that
every day is the beginning of year.
When YOU get right down to it, this making of sol
emn declaration of things one will not do is pretty
sorry business. Mere negation never accomplished
much in this world except to help get right start.
But it is wise to define the things you know you
should not do and you really don't want to do and
then eliminate them by going after what you really
do want. If you give your best effort and thinking
intelligence to the worthwhile things you will not
have any time to bother about the others. That's
the best way of swearing off know because it is the
most effective.
There's another thing that takes intelligence and
honesty and that is to determine what you do

tor is kindly, | may have many more words about

New-York tribune., 1910-01-02
As Necessary as Breathing

THE truth seems to be that pattlng oneself on the
back IS almost as universal and as necessary as
breathing. As long as must breathe OF course 1t
is best TO get the purest air possible The mere fact
that all Of US can't work in the open is no excuse for
sleeping in a room with the doors and windows
closed. So long as going to pat ourselves on
the back anyway, we ought to do something to make
il worth while
Apologize back patting has nearly the satisfaction
that comes from celebrating real accomplishment.
You know perfectly well where this primer d1alec-
tic going fetch up. There's no escape from the
deduction because it is in the air this being the
great annual Festival of the Swear Oh. And you
know it is season that offers unlimited opportunl-
ties TO get Beautiful Thoughts off ones chest.
Also it is the time of year when back pattlng
reaches its periheliOn. We pat right shoulder

tons last year. We gently caress our Vertebrf "hen

Swearing OFF as Dissipation

WHEN one starts with the belief that
resolutions are made to be broken,
and the knowledge that the breaking of
them is the only thing easier than the
making of them it is pretty certain that
he looks upon the swearing off of his pet
sins as an annual dissipation, having in
mind not only the satisfaction of making
the VOWS but the certainty that the things
forsworn will taste all the better for lit
