PENSIONS CUT DOWN
Confederate Veterans VIII Not Receive
Full Sum in Missouri Tomorrow.

| JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Dec. 81
Many confederate veterans will be dis
appointed tomorrow for instead of re
ceiving $50 check from the state O.
Missouri as the pension promised quar-
terly, only S1S.S3 will be received by
each old soldier, for there is a deficit
of S12,374.40 today. When the confed-
crate pension act was passed by the
legislature at the last session, only
$4,000 was appropriated.
This proved to be more than so per
cent under the amount needed and the
attorney general advised that is be
pro-rated. The balance due will be
carried over. Two thousand who were
the gray for pensions under the act
effective Oct. L., seventy-nine were re-
jected for various reasons and 10S are
being investigated

tentative of either raise in pay or the
abolition of holidays. All of these EN-

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1911;
JANUARY 1, 1914.

Tomorrow we wish each other {
Happy New Year. We have said fare
we'll to another year and welcomed its
successor
We have passed another milestone in
lifes journey and not only made the
closing entries in another volume OF
our lifes history, but new volume, a
new day, a new year is put into our
hands.
The old year has been withdrawn
and a new year, big with mighty is
sues, waits for us.
The year 1913 will be remembered
as year rich in achievements and still
richer in promise, mighty in perform
ance but eloquent beyond all calcula-
ton in prophecy of better things to
come
things to us, new truths will dawn,
new possibilities, new ideals, new
motives, new hopes, new visions.
We older people sometiems say:
There is nothing new under the sun"
A little child never says that. He
knows better. To him all life is new,
''and of such is the kingdom of God"
We know it is easy to be sentimental
about anniversaries, festivals, old
years and new ones, but we'd rather
be sentimental than be hard, cold,
prosaic, without kind word, a good
wish, or loving greeting for man or
thing God forbid that we should be
30 grimly proper and SO absorbed in
business that the beauty, sunshine,
song, and tenderness should forever
fade out of our lives, that years
should come and go, seasons return |
and disappear and fail to touch us |
with fresh inspiration either towards
God or man or kindling larger and
Diviner hope within us.
On the morrow we begin a new
page in our ledger. We turn over a
new leaf and with relief we think of
this unwritten page which gives us
another chance. 1t is new page, yes
true, but it is the old writer So let
there be a cleaner hand at the writing
radical cleansing of the magma
ton, change in the motive, new
best we hope to be and do, there lies
much submission and much renuncia-
ton.
The law of success is the law of
sacrifice. Our desire may often be
far away but our daily duty is ever
near The only way a man comes to
his own is by living for others.
Let us then begin this year full of l.
heart and hope. Let God lead us
wherever He pleases. Let us not fear :
the unknown tomorrow for we can
never fail while God is our Leader
There is voice which comes to us
from that unknown Tomorrow"
/ hear it singing, singing sweetly,
Sweetly in an undertone
Singing as if God had taught it.
1t is better further on.
Night and day it sings the song,
Sings it when l sit alone,
Sings it so my heart can hear it.
1t is better further on.
Sits upon the grave and sings it,
Sings it when the heart must groan,
Sings it when the shadows darken.
1t is better further on.
Further on, but how much further?
Count your milestones one by one.
No.. No counting, only trusting
1t is better further on.
So let this be our New Years greet :
ng: To wish that for you and yours
914 may be a year of special grace,
aving in it less of sorrow and more of
oy, less of defeat and more of victory
han any former year. Such is the
eminent of The Star Mirror, it's man
cement and employees.

Guard Committed Suicide.

Guard Committed Suicide.
Recently one of the gardeners went
mad and committed suicide by jumping
off the Vatican wall The gardeners
and museum keepers insisted that he
went mad trying to figure out how to
make ends meet on the 70-cents-no-
holiday-pay proposition and petitioned
the pope accordingly.
They told him they hoped he would
take warning from the first fatal result
and hoped he'd see to it that an eDi-
demic of suicides at the Vatican might
not be rendered inevitable. They also
asked him if he figured they did not
have to eat on holidays the same as
other days. Up to the present time,
there has been no raise in wages at The
Vatican but Pope Plus is known to be
giving the matter serious attention and

Mr.. Editorials great many are
having something 10 say on the Stock |
Law allow me 10 say something. The
majority Of the people of the first dis
trict are opposed TO the no fence law at
the present time on account Of so many
acres Of wild land that are unlenced
and not in cultivation, land that fur
nishes a bountilul pasture for out stock.
There is twenty acres in woods to one
in cultivation in this district. But il
the Legislative body has the clause
fixed TO hold, let us put up with it and
hope it will work out to our advantage
and not kick on every law that is pass

years ago we kicked on the tick law
We had 10 grease and dip our cattle,
it was wOrrisome but it proved bless

up their cattle then, and why not keep
them up now. You can improve your

by keeping them up, and save your
neishbors' crop and his feelings, Land
is scarce 10 rent in this section, and

these twenty idle acres and have all
