One good new year resolution
would be to leave your pistol at
home, if you own one, and not carry
it around in your pocket in viola
ton of the law. Another is to re-
frain from drinking liquor, particu-
larly when you have a pistol on your
person.

NEW YEARS EVE

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let MIN die
Ring out the old, ring in the new;
Ring, happy bells, across the snow,
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the fake, ring in the true
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more
Ring out the feud of rich and poor
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out the slowly dying cause
And ancient forms OF party strife;
Ring In the nobler mode of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride -. place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love OF truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust OF gold
Ring out the thousand wars OF old,
Ring in the thousand yearsr OF peace.
Ring In the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness OF the Land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
