One Of the severest stunts in this
world is keeping up appearances.
FClks who are engaged in this are
rrineILally busy covering up the truth
AMI bolstering up a pretense that
pleases them. Honest people say: BE
Just you-be YOURSELF as If it was the
simplest Il ing in the world to do. when
persons Of ambition, and who hasn't a
little, find it the most difficult. Most
peoTle want tc look like Aunt Maria,
or to dress as well as Martha Jones,
c. to have a home like Mrs Green
back. or in other words they long TO
be what they are not and to possess
mere than they are able to pay for.
This isn't human nature. although 1t
is usually called that, instead of hui
man weakness. because it sounds bet
tel. 1t takes courage to be just you,
but there is more real comfort in 1t
than there is In longing to be what we
can't be. and to possess what we have
Mt the money to pay for. Just try it
for the sake Of being natural.

the inferno is constructed it is not
built of purposes TO do right Good
intentions never yet landed q man in
hell. He reaches that bitter estate If
at all, in spite Of his good intentions
and against their influence and power.
The very first step toward doing right
is to resolve to do right. Action of any

The will must be called into play be-

eventually in outward practice.
AS for me, feel like applauding the
countless host who have started the
new year with fresh resolves. Men are
going to master this bad habit or quit
that indulgence. Women are deter
mined to begin some study, cultivate
some friendship or take up some
neglected duty. In short these earnest
people are planning to make more Of
themselves this year than last. Is it
not a splendid spectacle, this great
multitude who have felt the call of a
higher life and who, in these opening
weeks Of 1912, have responded to thai
call!
Now many of these fine resolutions
will be broken. Some will be smashed
into inch bits before the year is many
days old. The man who was going to
get along without bottled stimulants
finds himself a very frail individual
indeed. The women who was going to
keep tabs on her temper flies com
pletely off the handle on the second
or third provocation. Then they say,

ings and what do they accomplish

practically all of the undergraduates

THE MAN WHO TALKS

How think you the first of the year
became a season for reform thoughts
and resolutions? Perhaps it original
ed in the practice which made the
New Year a day of reckoning, and
which regularly confronted a man
with his cumulative debts which re-
minded him of his mistakes and in
creased his misery. Perhaps the real
ization of what he owed to man
brought to his mind periodically how
much more he owed to God. 1t has
been said that we first make our habits
and then our habits make us-we es-
tablish customs and finally by them
are governed. We are not famous
for knowing how customs originated
We finally only know that they are
to be observed even when they repre-
sent fossilized error. How many
things we do just because our for
bears did them; and still many people
deny we are of simian descent.
Who knows the origin of the alma
nae days? Why should the twelve
days inclusive of and following Christ
mas ne accepted as symbolizing the
weather Of the twelve months of the
coming year? Think you it was be-
cause seven of them are in the old
year and FIVE Of them in the new?
Did some one conceive that they rep
rt scented balance-a sure way OF
measuring or forecasting atmosphere
cal conditions? Did the almanac day
Of each month for the following
month follow or precede this Tuletide
system? How came Friday to be Sc
lected for the divining day? Was 1t
because the day was dedicared to
E7rigga, the queen Of earth, as Odin,
her husband, was king Of the heaY-
ems? This was done, doubtless, before
Christ was crucified on Friday, or the
courts had made Friday hangman's
/ day, and before in finance it had been
labeled BLACK Friday or popularity
Aecome regarded as q day of bad luck.
In tie DAYS of mythology the queen OF
earths day may have been deemed
/ the Indicator for the month to follow.

Now is the time to remember that,
as one swallow does not make sum
mer, one moral repulse does not mean
rout and defeat You would be an eX-
traordinary mortal indeed if you could
reverse the whole Of human experience
by jumping at once into sainthood.
Bear in mind that
Heaven is not reached by single
bound,
From the lUwly earth 20 the yaulted
skies,
And we mount to the summit round
by round.
The will has got to be practiced in
righteousness just as the physical
muscles are exercised in a gymnasium.
If we break a resolution the first thing
to do is to make another one. Set the
same ideal before you again and at
once, without too much time taken out
for crying. I have seen q hunter put
at the bars four or five times in sue
cession and balk each time only to
clear the obstacle finally. After that it
was easy for horse and rider. 1t is
Just so With those moral tasks that
every earnest person viii undertake. If
we want to arrive at last we must
simply keep trying. The year has
splendid victory in store for every
man who when he falls, refuses to stay
down and who viii not faint nor be

Challenge Prize Probably Handsomest Ever Offered

When Colonel August Pabst made up
his mind to offer perpetual challenge
trophy for light car race in connec-
ton with the Vanderbilt cup and Grand
Prize meet at Milwaukee, he did not go
about IT in any haphazard manner, but
aided by several authorities on art and
automobile racing also leading gold
and silversmiths, a trophy was evolved
which, when completed, probably will
be pronounced the handsomest ever Of
fered for speed event The colonel
had in mind the idea to make the Pabst
trophy race the light car classic of the
season for some years to come and out
of p different designs submitted by
silversmiths OF this country and Can

Company, Of Milwaukee, was the one
accepted

a foot high, its left foot meeting a
domed base surrounded by cantas
leaves. The dome is removable, leav-
ing the cup proper about sixteen inches
in diameter. Standing out in bold re-
lief on this portion of the trophy is
shiSd depicting a car at high speed on
a country road. Oak leaves and laurel
garnish the sides of this panel which
is In Louis XIV style. At either side of
the base are two winged automobile
wheels, symbolic OF victory. The whole
rests on a beautiful polished ebony
base, several inches high, and slightly
shorter in diameter than the rim of the
cup itself.
The trophy will be awarded to the
winner Of the 2lS-mile light car race for
cars in the 23l-3OO cubic inches class
A special donors trophy will also go Il
