Most thoughtful persons
re moved at this season to make res
buttons; in fact, New Years day Is
Ike a grand bazaar day in which vari-
Gus fine and beautiful resolutions are
pread out to view. But alas, how
many Of these are only made to be
roken! We are determined to turn
ger a e leaf in the book Of life,
md yet the fair, unspotted leaf Is
Slled almost In the very act Of turn
iig 1t. What then? Shall we give
ID making resolutions? Not at all.
AL effort is fragmentary. Because
purposes miscarry is no reason why
we should not form them. Were ev-
ey New Years resolution to be brok-
el we would still have lived better
fr making them. And some Of them
will be kept, while the very endeavor
Mll have lifted US to a higher plane
AID increased u self-respect
We should, most Of all, ask our
seyes If we have a true life aim. No
MAJ can hit the mark If he is not
q. ing at 1t.
Resolve to break off bad habits.
We all have our defects of disposition
md character. These we cannot help.
But 1t is our voluntary self-indulgence
hat makes them our masters. Now
s the hour to fight them, to resist
hem unto blood, to break them off at
once and for all.
Look on the bright side. The world
3 full Of beauty and life sparkles with
10y to the unblurred vision. 1t is our
gloomy spirits that distort our view.
The worst evils are imagined ones
that never ONE to pass. Let us look
look for love and goodness and
beauty and happiness, and we shall
tread a fragrant, empowered way.
Let US do better in the home. 1t Is
here, where we are often most
t%houghtless, that we need to do our
very best. More depends on the at
nosphere Of home than upon all else.
Resolve that those who love you most
and sacrifice the most for you shall
see only your most pleasing side
shall have only respect, ~gentleness,
love. All, how much of the recupera-
tive power needed for the strain Of
lies wearing duties depends upon
the tempers, manners and habits Of
home!
If, then, you will wear a morning
face and keep the eager, unsullied
ment of yourself and kindly in your
Judgment Of others; be more eager
praise than to blame: note the har-
monies Of life rather than its discords,

The Modern Way.

A couple Of young men on the Mar
ket street viaduct the other evening
offered a new version Of an old saw.
After they had passed a couple OF au'
burn-haired damsels one Of the young
men took his stand at the curb and
gazed up and down the bridge.
What are you looking for?" In
quired his companion.
Pointing to the red-headed girls, the
young man answered: I'm trying to
see a white automobile. '-YoungstoWn

TOWARD the NEW lear anu ilS pun poSo'
Let there be Joy in work, modera'
ton in pleasure, fa%ithfulness in
friendship, energy in service, loyalty
to truth, openmindedness in research,
openheartedness to all men. May we
abhor only that which ia superficial
and hypocritical, and prove our can
dor and frankness by living above the
thought of more profit.
Furthermore, let there be honor to
whom honor is due, custom to whom
custom, fear to whom fear" Courtesy
rises supremely higher than obsequ1-
BUSINESS, Of course; the former is gen.
tie and self-respecting. the latter Is
servile and self-condemning.
Invest the mind with noble posi-
bilities and the heart with holy aspira-
lions. Be charitable, sympathetic,
cheerful, strong-hearted, fearless, free
and undefled. Let those about you
know that these old truths have been
found Of you full Of new meaning and
interest, and there can be little doubt
but you will do much toward the bet
torment of your kind.
The world stands in need of men
who possess poise of character, ball
ance of soul and vision Of usefulness.
Morality teaches US that it is better
to be true than false. pure than licen-
tious, brave than cowardly.
Spirituality does better than, this,
for it keeps men unsound by, perse-
cution, undaunted by opposition, I'm.
complaining in the presence Of hard
ship, hopeful for the future, bearing
reproof and criticism thankfully, and
above al headed toward the right
