Whatever is conducive of higher
spiritual standing, though it be sur
rounded by poverty and sordid con-
ditions is in reality success. Musset,
writing from the slums and black
quarters of the terrible Paris lived
in spite of all that appeared as fail
ure, life of pure end lasting sue
cess. Over the grave of many man
may very well be written that great
epitaph of Robert Louis Stevenson:
"Here lies one who meant well, tried
little, failed much"
But in our retrospect of what has
been. we must not think that it all
goes only as suggestions for the living
of the ensuing year. There is more in
those past moments and readily re-
called deeds than that. They are WOW
en- into the core of our lives, have be-
come part of the infinite Me and must
be reckoned in making estimations
for future endeavor.
"They are caught in the lap of flow
ing Time,
Are treasured and Graded and saved.
Are changed into gold for the new
new chime
They float where the Infinite waved"
The world lives on the trembling
heartstrings of those who are striving
and struggling and failing. Every
New Years promise is wish for
better things for the universe that is
darkness-bound. Every heart throb
breathing of the inspiration; every
hope filled with immaculate trust;
every upward tendency burning
toward the stars; every purpose feel
ing its way into the heart of divinity;
every conception embracing the uni
verse; every ideal, growing and lead
ing, hues pathways for the world over
rough roads that are strewn thick
with obstacles and bears humanity
nearer the center of all Glory.

they paired off, left the home, estab-
lished their own homes-married well:
are rearing their own fine families.
The love tie for the parents who
watched and loved these fine strong
young people grew weaker; it is the
way of nature. Three years ago the
husband died-gathered to his fathers,
ripened grain after a beautiful, USE
full, vigorous life.
And now the mother is visiting
around. She who once was in the
midst of things; who left her mark on
the state, who is woman of rare in
tellectual qualities-is Grandma Car
ton, and is visiting around.
Sometime we shall order life on this
planet SO that the mother in her COS
and 70's, with her ripened experience,
with her deep wisdom and rare knowl-
edge of life, will have her place in
the world-a place of usefulness and
honor. She will not be just visiting
around. She will still lend a hand.
She will die in whatever harness it
gives her joy to press against. But
as the world is made now, rare in
deed in the elderly woman who is not
just visiting around.-Empirc Ca
zette.

MANA sLUMBERING SAVAGE

MANA SLUMbEhlNU oAF AUE
(By Gunar Bjornson)
1HE HEART OF MAN is essen
tally savage.
Underneath the veneer of CIV
ilization there crouches the tiger Of
savagery.
Beneath the coat of Christianity
there too often beats the heart of the
brute.
We think we are civilized and still
we are continually confronted by
proofs to the contrary.
What is the blot just placed upon
the fair name of the state of North
Dakota but manifestation, a proof
positive of the evil nature of man?
The lynching of Culbertson at Will
liston by crowd of lawless ruffians,
last Tuesday, is an outburst of saw
agery which it will take the county
in which it occurred a generation to
outlive.
A crowd of masked men take a
prisoner who has had speedy trial,
who has been convicted and sentenced
to life Imprisonment and hang him
after breaking down the doors of the
county Jail and covering the sheriff
with guns!
This dastardly act of these lawless
men has no excuse-there were no
circumstances which called for the
taking of the case out of the hands
of the law.
The trial had been quick and con-
viction followed without any bubble.
We have been in the habit of hold
ing up our hands in holy horror at
the lynching outrages of the South.
But there is a planned, cold-blooded
lynching right in the extreme north
ern part of our domain!
Does this not prove that the brute
element in our nature is present equal
ly North and South?
Disguise it as we will there is DOR
mant evil hidden in each and all.
In and about each of us there is
a spirit of evil, ready at the least
provocation to take possession of our
hearts and undo in moment the re-
suit of years of painstaking toll in
the realm of character building and
soul-uplift.
Once upon a time this Evil Spirit
was called the Devil-but that is no
longer fashionable.
In the Technology of modern soul
lore there is no such word as devil.
But in the criminal annals of our
day the record is replete with deeds
that are devilish.

kILLARN Ely.

~ Y kilIarney's lake and fells,
- Emerald isles and winding
- Mountain paths and woodland
dells,
Memory ever fondly strays.
Beauteous nature loves all lands;
Beauty wanders everywhere
Footprints leaves on many strands,
But her home is surely there.
Angels fold their wings and rest
In that Eden of the west,
Beauty's home. Killarney;
Ever fair Killarney.
Innisfallens ruined shrine
May suggest a passing sigh,
But mans faith can ne'er decline
Such Gods wonders floating by;
Castle Tough and elena Bay,
Mountains Tore and Eagles Nest.
Still at Muckross you must pray.
Though the monks are now at rest.
Angels wonder not that man
There would fain prolong life's span,
Beautys home. Killarney;
Ever fair Killarney.
No place else can charm the eye
With such bright and varied tints.
Every rock that you pass by
Verdure broiders or besprints.
Virgin there the green grass grows;
Every morn springs natal day:
Bright hued berries daft the SHOWS.
Smiling winters frown away.
Angels, often pausng there,
Doubt If Eden were more fair,
Beauty's home. Killarney;
Ever fair Killarney.
Music there for echo dwells,
Makes each sound a harmony;
Many voiced the chorus swells
Till it faints in ecstasy.
With the charmful tfnts below
Seems the heaven above to vie.
All the rich colors that we know
Tinge the cloud wreaths in that sky.
Wings of angels so might shine.
CHANGING back soft light divine.
Beauty's home. Killarney:
Ever fair Killarney.

We're glad it's New Year and a

Remember, during the year 1914,
that you've got to take the decent
reasonable way; you've got to adjust
yourself to the people God has set
about you. If you don't, when 1915
breaks in on you, you wont have
enough self-respect to permit you to
look even a scrawny little yellow pup
straight between the eyes.
