A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

It was New Years day and every- thing looked cheerful and told of lux ury in the beautiful home of Mrs. Mar son.
 She glanced out of the kitchen win dow as she was cooking the dinner and noticed a poor boy on the side walk coming toward the house. You could see he was very cold by the way he acted and he did not look more than half-dressed for the cold wealth CT. When he reached the house he stopped in front of the door, then rang the bell Mrs, Marson answered the call
 ''9cw do you do.' said the boy pleas antly. May I come in and get warm D.
 Certainly replied Mrs. Marson;
 right this way And she led him into the nice warm kitchen where she placed a chair in front of the oven for him. After a few moments she asked him his name, and he said:
 My name is Harold White"
 DO you live long way from here? said Mrs. Marson.
 T live or Cedar street. he replied,
 That is quite a long ways. How did you happen to be so far from homer said she.
 T was on an errand for Mother. She sews for living" he answered.
 Haven't you father?'
 Yes, but he drinks and we never have any of the money he earns. Half the time am afraid Mother goes hun gry."
 Are you hungry now?" asked the kind lady.
 "A little." responded the boy, still a little shy of Mrs. Marson.
 Well, you shall have something to a CssgiH tied around to get him a little lunch
 The boy ate the lunch with a relish While he was eating Mrs. Marson had slipped into the other room. Soon she returned and when the boy arose to go she handed him a note, saying: Please give this to your mother as soon as you get home"
 After thanking the kind lady from the bottom of his heart, the happy boy started off on run. When he reach ed home he handed the note to his l mother who read it.
 It was an invitation for her and her son to take New Years dinner with Mrs, Marson. How happy they werel They put on the best clothes they had l which wei en't very good-and hur- | ried to Mrs. Marson's. Meanwhile kind Mrs. MHrson was fixing her table and setting two extra places. Just as she had finished and MT. Marson was ready to sit down to | the table their two guests arrived. After introductions to MT. Marson, | who received them kindly, they sat down to the happy meal. While they | were eating they talked of MT. White. 1 After the meal was over, Mrs. White | and Harold returned home and told 1 MT. White, who also had reached the | house where he ate his meals and spent the nights, for he could not call l it home-about their new friends. 1 If you had not been away drunk as we supposed, you also might have | had a good dinner said Mrs. White | to her husband.
 1 With this thought in mind he made Q resolution to stop drinking and spend more time with his little family He kept his resolution and it certainly was a Happy New Year for them all l SNOWFLAKE,

seen walking in the graveyard at night. One day, when Robert was in the kitchen, heaasked old Mollie to tell him a story. Story telling was her delight So one story after an other was told. Finally, she began to tell story about the old tree in the graveyard and the hoot owl. And she ended the story in this way:
 And every night the owl changed into a hobgoblin, and he walks with your grandfather's ghost!"
 If his grandmother or uncle had been around they would not have let Old Mollie tell such a story to the child, knowing how they would frighten and terTify him. But old Mollie thought that she was amusing him, and did not notice the look of horror on his face. If she had, she would have been very sorry. for she was kind old lady.
 Robert, why don't you go upstairs to bed? It is an hour after your bed time"
 "Oh, Granny! I don't want to go,' sobbed Rob.
 What's that?' said Uncle Jack. Not go to bed! Why, you never will make a man. Early to bed and early to rise will make you healthy, wealthy and wise So up to bed you go!"
 Roberts chamber was just under the attic. In those days there was no clustering, so one could see the broad beams that were overhead. From the window you could see the moonlight cast it's beams on the headstones of the graves.
 "Grandma, please move my bed over to this corner" said Robert. q don't like the moonlight to shine in my eyes"
 So the trucklebed was wheeled across the room; and at last Robert was tucked up in bed. Grandma said Good night and Robert tried to sleep.
 But what was that noise? Bang! Bangil Bangiil Oh, it was dread ful, the way it banged!
 Robert screamed with all his might: Uncle! Grandma! Mollie! Oh, dear!"
 What is it, child?" said Uncle Jack, coming into the room.
 Hear it, uncle. It's hobgoblins and ghosts walking up stairs. Mollie said so I am so afraid!" and Robert trem- ] bled like leaf.
 Jack Brown stood still. with frown on his face.
 What nonsense, Robert" he said; but if old Mollie had been anywhere within reach that moment, am afraid | that Jack Brown would have had something to say to her. Still the banging went on and Rob- ert kept crying. Mother, I am going upstairs to see what all that noise is about" said | Jack.
 In the middle of the attic lay ar old grindstone. And running back and forth was a large gray squirrel. The 1 grindstone was just balanced right l for every time the gray squirrel rar around, it would hit the floor, ands oi course, made dreadful racket In the corner of the attic was { small heap of Walnuts left to dry; anC the window being open MT. Squire smelt the nuts and climbed the tre' which stood close up to the house.
 When Jack Brown saw this gra! ghost he could do nothing but laugl for & moment. But he crossed thu l room and shut the window, then catching this disturber of the peace, h. carried him downstairs to show tt Robert.
 Here he is-your hobgoblin anC grandfather's ghostl You did not thinl he would look like this did you 1 child?'
 Uncle Jack was laughing so he coulC hardly speak After that time no on could ever frighten Robert with tale
 of hobgoblins or ghosts.

COMMENTS BY AN OUTSIDER.

Editor of the Social Corner I am so glad Mrs. Robinson is writing to the Sisters,
 The American girl is all right. read Tom Paine years ago and have bought dozens of his books and sent to friends who have thought like Crusoe and Elizabeth.
 wonder if any of the Sisters have read any of Marie Corelli's books? have read most all of them. I think her the writer of the day Sorry to say, she is not suffragist, but you know, she lives in England.
 The Dreamer is dreaming on the right side. Keep right on dreaming that way.
 I wonder if Nat would let Jane Ann wear feathers on her hat? have some that I took out our roOster's tail that we killed. They are long and she could put them right on the front of her hat with a buckle, and they would droop over the crown of the hat; then all the Sisters would know her as soon as they "sot" eyes on her.
 The papers this week went to Aunt Jule. I'll send some to Elizabeth next time.
 wonder if they would let me sit on that woodbox? as I am strong for suf- frage and small, only 200 pounds! AN OUTSIDER. The Hemlocks.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Wyamrus-The author who told you he could judge the merits of book by reading the first three pages must have meant a dictionary. There are people who accept or reject a book on the style Of binding. but they are not de- pendable reviewers.
 Elsrama-If your address was sent with story it was overlooked and lost. That is what we have been waiting for. You are in a fair way now to receive space rates in their order.
 M. E. M.-We think your suggestion for the celebration Of the second an- niversarv number on March 18th is very good. indeed. It might make new and agreeable reading if the letter. writers would write how they have been most benedted or entertained by the Social Corner. We hope some of the members will take the cue and re- spOnd; and it will do no harm if new suggestion should come 10 them 1t viii be in order 10 write it down and send it along. It is the letter writers who make the Social Corner, not the editor.
 To Unknown-The papers sent in have been mailed to Aunt Jule, as you h4F4erA
 Aunt Jule-The letter sent in this week treats of a common criminal practice which should be broken up but it is something no paper ventures Co meddle with. That belongs to the home and the police.
 Marigold-Story entitled Grand mas Trip to Gotham" received. It will be added to stories on hand, be used in it's turn, and be paid for at space rates.
 Aline-Hannah Homespun does not write now for the Social Corner.
 Jane-We are debarred by office rules from printing original poems.
 John-we do not care to advise anyone what t0 read. We have always been governed by our taste and our mental growth. We are not afraid to read anything. We like books that are informing and inspiring.

THE VIEWS OF QUEEN HEss.

Dear Editor and Sisters of the Social Corner. l have been an interested reader of the Social Corner for over year, and this week something has prompted me to write a few lines.
 l want Co tell Aunt Jule that 1 should like to know her.
 I certainly agree with A Dreamer, who says the fight against whiskey is far more needed than @ battle for women's rights"
 l wonder how many of the sisters have little ones. l have three little boys, 5 years. years, and months old, and my patience is often sorely tried; but when the cross word has been spoken or punishment given, often think of these lines:
 "n we knew the baby fingers
 Pressed against the window pane Would be cold and stiff tomorrow
 Never trouble us again Would the bright eyes of our darling
 Catch the frown upon our brow? Would the prints of rosy fingers
 NeE us then, as they do noW2 -Ah. those little ice-cold fingers,
 How they point our memories back To -hc nasty words and actions,
 Srewn along our backward trackl How those little hands reminds us
 As in snowy grace they lie, N1t to scatter thorns-buL roses
 For our rcaDing by and by."

GRASP THE OPPORTUNITIES.

Editor and Sisters of Social Corner: Just think. another year has gone! How many opportunities we have let fly past. Can we count them? NoI But now that another happy year greets us, let us hold fast to each opportunity and not let it slide away from us. For once an opportunity is gone, 1t is gone forever.
 If ever you have chance to help anyone, help them then, for the chance may soon glide away, and a chance like it will never return.
 Each day that passes away leaves many opportunities undone But let each Sister of the Social Corner hold fast to each opportunity.
