Address Of WIcone

1T the Meeting Of the WI, County Vet
eran Association in Ssau lille, Dec. 4th,
by Mrs. a. E Nickerson
Mr.. PRESIDENT. CoMpinrs. LADIES'
AND GENTLEMEN: In the IOnth of Octo-
Der, 1892, you, with otbI survivors of
the Civil War residing in Waldo county,
gathered together on theIwest shore of
Swan Lake for the purplse of forming
someplan whereby the tibs of love and
friendship which had bomb YOU as com
rades during the years Of 81 '65, might
not become weakened, or hfoken, as would
be the natural result Of l;tno apart and
neglected in pursuing Your various walks
in life. You wished in the future years
to strengthen the tie of fellowship be-
tween you; to cherish, to keep green and
tender, the memories of those days which
as long as life should last to you would
ever be pregnant with memories, both
sweet and sad. Sweet in frat they had
revealed to you as in no other conceiv-
able way, the possibilities of the depth
and strength of human love; manifest in
the deeds of heroism, devotion and self
sacrifice, one for another; and sad be-
cause of the scenes Of death, sorrow and
destruction through which YOU had pass
ed; and also to impress upon the present
and rising generation the meaning of
that war, and its effect upon the country
at the present day. So you organized
society, which you ramtd the Waldo
County Veteran Assoc alton.
During the 81 years that have passed
since that day to the rresent it has been
your established and mbrohen custom to
meet the first THURSDAY il every month
in the various towns and hamlets of the
county, and the peope throughout have
responded warmly md generously to
your efforts to increase the interest and
attendance of the meetings, with the re-
suit that each town vies with its neigh

CHRISTMAS ONT

Don't tell people that you do not
expect to receive any presents. You
know you do.
Don't forget that the clerk who has
been working long hours for many
weeks is human.
Don't, If the present you are send
Ing away was expensive, fail to re-
o the price tag.
Don't hunt for price marks on the
presents you receive.
Don't wait till Christmas for the
purpose of being kind.
Don't let your left pocket know
what your right pocket gives for
friendship, for love or for charity.
Don't be grouchy merely because
some delivery boy happens to prod
you with the corner of a box that is
twice az large as he.
Don't let yourself suppose when you
crowd into the place where Christmas
shopping is being done that you are
the only n who is in a hurry.

brings in a lot of novelties in dress
accessories, house adornments and
furnishing. jewelry and all the thou
sand and one things that women re-
quire, so that selecting a present for
women, or girls is a matter of choos-
ing n from among the many fasci-
mating novelties displayed in the
shops.
Fashion helps us out this year; such
is the fad for sashes and girdles that
everybody wants not one but several

Seven new models in sashes and

Examples of all the popular new
ribbons appear in the sashes pictured

A more expensive ribbon is used for
the next model than appears in any
of the others. In Figure 5 a silk and

colors and foliage in blurred outlines

counting with self. 1t is only through
such accountings that men and women
find themselves, learn to know them
selves and, knowing, become what
they should be.
Rev. DR.. Talmage used to tell the
story of a young man who annually de-
voted New Years eve to a review Of
the year ended, concluding with reso-
buttons which he seldom kept for any
great length of time. Lying laZily back
In a comfortable Morris chair, this
young man would smoke a cigar, think
over the year, and make his resolves.
One New Years eve he thought and
smoked until, half dreaming, he
fancied he saw in the smoke as it
euFled~ upward the word resolutions"
His fancy led him to serious considera-
ton of how many OF his resolutions
had really gone up in smoke. He was
lstounded, and made one supreme re
solve that they should no longer end
lin smoke.
Each time he told this story Doctor
Talmage assured his hearers that this
young man vas TO-DAY one Of the fore
most Business men of New York city,
a factor in its commercial life and a
powerful agent for good in many direc-
ions. The ~re7Srend gentleman made
ne point that Although resolutions
nay be- made onlsT1g be broken, the
line must come in he life of every
nan and woman wRer they make one
supreme resolve which IS the making
Of themselves. ThereforeADocto Tai
mage always declared that he favored
New Year resolutions even though
hey would be broken, because he knew
hat in the end they would result in
sometning really worth while.
