The darkness and the day;
You may not rise to choose your path
Until the years have spread
Their kindly mantle v and
Around your curly head,

And I will love you when
You feel oppressed and need the

Must open wide your eyes,
And lift your voice in sanguine praise
To Him up in the skies;
He gives to you the stars of night,
The sun of noon and dawn,
And yours the peaceful sleep and

When daylight time is gone;
For you He blends the sunset skies
For you all hope was made,
And he has taught me love for you
That you be not afraid.

toward the New Year and its purpose7
Let there be Joy in work, modera-
ton in pleasure, faithfulness in
friendship, energy in service, loyalty
to truth, openmindedness in research.
openheartedness to all men. May we
abhor only that which is 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 obsequi.
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 undefiled. 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
terment of your kind.
The world stands in need of men
who possess poise Of character, bal
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, un
complaining in the presence of hard
ship, hopeful for the future, bearing
reproof and criticism thankfully, and
above all headed toward the right
goal. '

The posters are in six different de-

Wildcat in a City Park.

A giant wildcat that had been slaugh-
tering quail and cottontail rabbits in
the Golden Gate park for the last three
years was trapped recently by George
J. Barron. The parry gamekeepers and
others often caught sight Of the de-
structive beast, but it was so willy that
they never could get an opportunity Of
drawing a bead on it. The great cat
was Thought to come from the Santa
Cruz mountains.
The other day the lad rugged up a
plain box trap and baited it with a
piece of fresh beef, setting the n
trivance in the shrubbery near the
chain of lakes. He returned several
hours later and found the big cat
snarling in the trap.
Prof. William G. Blunt, curator of
the natural history department of the
museum, was sent for, and after a
close examination Of the beast at a
safe distance pronounced it a fine spe-
cimen of the hybrid wildcat of Call
fornia. AS hybrids Of all kinds in
the class of mammals are barred from
the museum, the cat was killed and
buried ia the foot OF a Monterey
cypress. The animal weighed 40
pounds, and was n of the largest
specimens that the professor had ever
seen.-San Francisco Chronicle.

BEST TO Be TRUTHFUL

MOSC lnOuSllIul persons
are moved at this season to make res
olutions; in fact, New Years day is
like a grand bazaar day in which vari-
Gus fine and beautiful resolutions are
spread out to view. But alas. how
many of these are only made to be
broken! We are determined to turn
over a new leaf in the book of life,
and yet the fair, unspotted leaf is
soiled almost in the very act of turn
ing it. What then? Shall we give
up making resolutions? Not at all.
All effort is fragmentary. Because
purposes miscarry is no reason why
we should not form them. Were ev.
cry New Years resolution to be brok-
en- we would still have lived better
for making them. And some of them
will be kept. while the very endeavor
will have lifted us to a higher plane
and increased our s%elf-respect.
We should, most of all, ask our
selves if we have a true life aim. No
man can hit the mark if he is not
aiming at it.
Resolve to break off bad habits.
We all have our defects of disposition
and character. These we cannot help.
But it is our voluntary self-indulgence
that makes them u masters. Now
is the hour to fight them, to resist
them unto blood, to break them off at
once and for all.
Look on the bright side. The world
is full of beauty and life sparkles with
joy to the unblurred vision. 1t is our
gloomy spirits that distort our view,
The worst evils are imagined ones
that never come to pass. Let us look

beauty and happiness, and we shall

1T is A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but i, is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays.
An example of the big success of a
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for C%ascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord is the result of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-.
carets by it's friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur.
chasing we'll advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has a national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow q
substitute to be palmed off on you.
