THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW

Tennyson and Longfellow have
made tolerable the ringing out OF the
Old Year and the ringipT in Of the
New; but their immortal res can not
stay the unpleasant thoughts that
crowd the mind, while the bell rings
out the dying year.
In solemn monotone the bell re-
counts the disappointments OF the
past, and then glibly peals forth the
resolutions newly made. Some one
has said that hell is paved with good
Intentions, and he might have added
that most of them bear date January
first. T.:
More solemn than the funeral note
is the tolling out of the old year. II
announces that millions Of souls are
nearer the dark divide; it sets the seal
of eternity on the past Of our lives.
AS a boy In the long ago you heard
the tolling bell and thought not on
the old year, but looked with youthful
ardor to the promise Of the new. Per,
haps some coy and winsome sweet
heart figured in the prospect, some
lass with laughing eye, whose Image
shut out a thought Of the stern things
of life. Then there were friends and
loved ones who one by one have pass
ed into the great beyond as the bel
tolled out each succeeding year.
When we have lived to be "the last
leaf on the tree, in the spring." why
call from the past the SORROWS and DIS
appointments that have marked the
Intern between the tolling of the bell
Why should we be reminded that the
weight Of another year rests upon u.s.
We would not attempt to stop ar
old and time honored custom but we
are truly grateful when healthfu,
sleep shuts our ears to the sounds d
the midnight BELLS,

ON NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

Are they good? Are they practical
BILE?
Some say that it is better not to
make resolutions when there is a like
lihood Of breaking them, that the man
who makes good resolutions and
breaks them is in worse condition
than he would have been had he new

Is that good philosophy?
With finite beings there must be a

AWARDS CUPS TO
STATE CHAMPIONS
HENDRIX GIRLS GET CUP
ARKANSAS ATHLETIC ASSO-
CITATION DECLARES WIN
NERS OF TITLES.

| Little Rock, May 4.-Considerable
discussion was aroused at the annual
meeting of the Arkansas State Ath-
letlc Association in the private din
ing room of the Hotel Marion yester-
day afternoon when the awarding of
cups to the successful champions in
the college and secondary class for
the winning basketball teams was
brought up. Several members COM
planned because the awarding of the
cups was reserved until the annual
state meet, and stated they desired to
have the cups awarded when the
championship had been finally settled.
The First District Agricultural Col
lege was awarded the college cham
pionship for the boys basketball
team, while the Hendrix College girls
team received the state championship
of the college class.
Little Rock high school basketball
team was awarded the basketball
championship of the secondary
schools.
by unanimous vote the time limit
of May 1S placed on the champion
ship race of the secondary baseball
teams was extended until June /. All
signed contracts for players who par
ticipated in a contest throughout the
season must be in the hands of the
executive committee of the Arkansas
State Athletic Association by II
o'clock on the night of June 3.
According to an agreement entered
into between the claimants for the
secondary girls basketball champion
ship, the championship will be settled
by May 25, 1912, between the Morril-
ton, Warrent, Camden, De Queen and
Helena high school girls teams. If
the teams do not settle the title by
May 25, no title will be awarded for
this season.
President A. B. Hill in an improp
tn speech, expressed the belief that
the association could not exist if the
contestlng teams were after the cups
only. IF | stay at Little Rock high
school, it is my purpose to see that
there is more play and less athletics, y
said President Hill "If exercise is
good for the 20 men who participated
in the football contests, it will be of
benefit to 200. There is feeling that
pervades the schools, | fear, that
makes them, in their anxiety to win,
overlook certain conscientious scru-
pies. This is where we make our
mistakes. Certainly We have not gone
mad. If this is what the members of
this association are after, the organ
lbation should be disbanded at once.
Let us have athletics that are cleaner
and games that will produce citizens,
who, above all else, are honest and,
in the battle of life, will fight their
opponent on the square"

to the county for this work will be
