been going on for some time. In fact.
since Hal Chase expressed his desire
to play that bag, and now that Chance
has said that he is going to put Chase
on second base if he can get in the
game, and he says he will, the debate
has become all the warmer

Frank Rockefeller is quoted as say.
ing, "He, John d Rockefeller) is

lonesome man on the face of the EARTH
He can call no man friend" He also
says that his brother lives in continual
fear of being kidnapped that he never
leaves his home without having men
watching him or accompany him and
that he is afraid all of the time that
some one will assault him
Can one imagine a more deplorable
manner of existence? If this is what
money brings, is there any reason why
one should want it? Is not Sch a
state the most abject poverty9
No man is so poor as the man who
has not single friend. If money does
not bring peace, happiness and con-
tentment it is of no value at all and If
the statement of his br ther is to be
believed it has brought to John d.
Rockefeller, loneliness, discomfort and
fear.
Possessing millions of dollars but not

but afraid to leave home without a
body guard such man is to be pitied
and not envied. His material wealth
has brought poverty of soul We would
rather be so poor that we did not have
enough money to purchase nights
lodging or our next meal, but with a
few real friends and free to mingle and
associate with our fellowmen than to
have the Rockefeller millions and live
alone and afraid.

New Years.

Yesterday we started on New
Year. 1912 with its joys and sorrows,
its pleasures and disappointments, its
achievements and its failures is his
tory. 1913 with its hopes, expectations
and ambitions lies before us.
What will the New Year bring to
US? The answer to this question de-
pends almost entirely upon ourselves.
Let US endeavor to make it the best
year of our lives. Let us by honest
labor, attention to our own business,
consideration of the feelings and wei.
fare of others, helping those In need
whenever possible, thinking pure
thoughts and leading clean lives do
our part towards making it happy and
prosperous for all.
A thought from the sermon of DIR.
r. o. Matthews Sunday night is most
appropriate at this time. He spoke OF
the shortness of life and how much
even those with the ten talents had
been unable to accomplish of the
great poems that had not been written
on account Of the early death of great
poets; OF the great pictures that hao
been unfinished at the death of great
painters how when the end came
that there was always work undone.
This should teach us the necessity
of filling each ''unforgiving minute
full of sixty seconds worth of distance
run" Even when we put forth oul
best efforts how little we can accom-
plish in the short time we have OF
earth. Life is short, time is feeting'
and soon our earthly race is run.
If during 1913 each night as we went
to bed we could say, something at
tempted, something done, has earned
a nights repose" how we'll wortf
while and how happy and prosperous
the year would be not only for our
selves, but for many others
A better motto for our lives cannot
be found than the following verse from
Longfellows, psalm of Life"
"Let us then be up and doing,
With heart for any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to walt"
