Judicial, legislative and executive de-

What the effect of Mr.. Wilson's
3isit to congress VIII be do not
know. It is certainly a great departure
rom the Jefferson idea Washington
and Adams delivered their messages
n person to congress. When Thomas
Jefferson, the father Of Democracy,

alist idea, and he would not do it.

One should have old gloves or nit

doing any rough, dirty work. No

1t is true that good resolutions are
Just as valuable one time as another;
but is one ever in the mood to begin
anew after the glorious Fourth with
its flying flags and cannons; its songs
and martial music; the trips on lake
and sound the walks through parks
or wood and we'll filled baskets await
ing the strollers return? Everyone
is aroused to pitch of pleasant eX-
element and thrilled with patriotism
and pride for their Countrywide
greatest ever.
After such day there is little in
clination for personal musing. At
New Years, however, one is some
what prepared to think about the
responsibility of life and living.
Christmas has gone by with its holly
and its cheer; its messages from
friends and loved ones; its bells and
song; it's ever present thought OF
"Peace upon earth and good will to-
ward man, :" and underneath all that
ioyousness a feeling of solemnity that
cannot easily be shaken off because OF
the remembrance that upon that day,
hundreds of years ago, gloriously
bright star attracted the attention OF
shepherds of the far Eastern hills and
caused the wise men to follow 1T until
they come to Bethlehem and found
the Holy child the child, who was to
grow to manhood, and, at last suffer
death upon the cross for the redemp-
ton of our sins. After such an an
niversary people are apt to be more
of mood for serious reflections.
And, after all, what is it to resolve?
We are apt to make too big thing
of it, and expect ourselves to become
models of perfection. 1t is no wonder
that people become discouraged.
Emerson said, Glitch your wagon to
a STAR" but Longfellow and Holland
both said to ascend step by step and
round by round.
Right living is simple and we should
"just resolve to do our best in all
things great and small, - and the
whole problem will be solved.
We should realize the privilege of
living each day, for in it there are
opportunities to carry out every good
aim, even though far removed from
the masses.
eve have kind words for the strangers
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
Resolve to be kind. Some are kind
to the visitor with never a smile after
the door is closed upon them as they
depart Others are selfishly kind to
their own and talk boastingly OF their
happy household but never do thing
to create the same condition in the
homes of others. Kindness consists
in words as well as deeds. Resolve
this year of 1913 to let only kind
words escape your lips. Try to see

only the good in others.
sWhen your brother man you measure
Take him at his best;
Something in him you can treasure,
Overlook the rest
Refrain from picking out the faults,
for others can find them in you. One
of the greatest is that of backbiting.
Many life has been ruined by
thoughtless remarks repeated until
they are no longer innocent ones.
"Boys can draw in their white wing
ed birds, but word once spoken can
about another that you would not
wish said about yourself, even if it
we're true. Repress the desire to Cos
sip. There are wonderful things for
you to discuss if you seek for them.
Resolve to be cheerful. Sir John
Lubbock said, "Every one must have
felt that cheerful friend is like a
sunny day, which sheds its brightness
all around Try to make those 18th
whom you come in contact the Same.
A smile, a bright word will cost you
nothing, unless you are crouch. Ii
you are, being decent once in while
will bring you more happiness than
the others.
If YOU are one of the unfortunate
beings that are forever looking upon
the dark side thinking every one is
against you, look to yourself; nine
times out Of ten the trouble is at
home. Throw aside that old armor OF
sullenness and temper and don one
of self respect ornamented with cheer
fitness and you will have no reason
to berate others, for the mental en-
viroment you create will change your
association. Not great things, these
little resolutions, but builders OF
character.

That have their root in thoughts OF

Mr.. James Armstrong sat at his
desk before the west window in his
private room in one Of the tallest
buildings in Denver. HIS suite OF Of
fees was situated on enc Of the top
floors, and from It he h.d clear and
unobstructed view Of the mighty
range over the Intervening house tops
and other buildings. Tie earth was
covered with snow. It had fallen stead
lily through the night, but with tie
dawn the air had cleared and the sun
had come out brightly, although it was
very cold.
Letters. papers, documents, the de.
mands of business extensive and var
led. were left unnoticed. He sat with
his elbow on the desk, his hefd on his
hand, looking moodly at the range.
In the month that had elapsed since
he had received news Of Enid Matt
lands disappearance he had sat often
in that way, in that place, staring at
the range, a prey to most respondent
reflections, heavy hearted and discon.
ISOLATE indeed.
After that memorable interview
with Mr.. Stephen Maitland in Phila-
delphia he had deemed 1t proper to
await there the arrival Of Mr.. Rob-
ert Maitland. A brief interview with
that distracted gentleman had put
him in possession of all the facts in
the case. AS Robert Maitland had
said, after presentation of the tragic
story, the situation was quite hore-
less. Even Armstrong reluctantly ad-
mitted that her uncle and old Kirkby
had done everything that was posi-

the girl

tlemen had shortly after returned to

In this instance being accompanied
by his brother Stephen. The latter
never knew how much his daughter
had been to him until this evil fate
had befallen her. Robert Maitland
had promised to inaugurate thor.
ough and extensive search to solve the
mystery of her death, which he felt
was certain, In the spring, when the
weather permitted humanity to have
free course through the mountains.
Mr.. Stephen Maitland found GER
tain melancholy satisfaction in being
at least near the place where neither
he nor any one had any doubt his
daughters remains lay hid beneath
the snow or ice on the mountains in
the freezing cold Robert Maitland
had no other idea than that Ends

drain it-an engineering task Of no
great diflculty-and yet he intended,
also, to search the hills for miles on
either side of the main stream down
which she had gone, for she might
possibly have strayed away and died

than drowning. At any rate, he
would leave nothing undone to discov.
