lived. The whole world seems in conspiracy to
drag him back to his former frame of mind The
coffee is cold, the letters which look SO alluring
prove to be chiefly bills and begging epistles he
falls over the doorstep he leaves the house. All
these minor annoyances, which, if rightly met,
would have helped him to conquer his weakness,
serve but to throw him back into his original
state, and before evening he is as bad as ever he
has been.
Or take another very general New Year reso-
luton, that of getting up at certain time in the
morning. When the day dawns, any reason
whatever is grasped to evade this. The weather
is too cold, the alarm was not loud enough he is
sure his watch is fast, he doesn't really feel well
enough to risk getting up earlier than usual, and
after all, he asks himself, is there any real rea-
son why he should? A thousand and-one excuses
the average Individual will make to himself rath-
er than perform what he has designed to do The
world is full of wobblers of this kind and the
more they wobble the weaker they become.
Another reason perhaps why the average res
olution makers seldom achieve their purpose
is that they attempt too much. They make two,
three, sometimes six resolves at once, whereas
to carry through resolution successfully is
quite admirable feat.
AS Thomas A. Kemps says:
IF every year we could root out one vice we
would soon become perfect men, Impotence is
at the root of many defeats It is customary
nowadays to sheer at the virtue for which the
name of Job is synonymous, but those who say
that patience is the virtue of an ass or beggar's
virtue are not wise as the Spanish proven
maker who said:
"Patience! and shuttle the cards." Most peo-
pie shuttle the cards eagerly enough, but the pa
tience is lacking. Seeking to grasp the stars at
abound they fall back to the earth.
And so, if people at the commencement of a
New Year adjusted their desires in accordance
with their abilities, and instead of signing for
the unattanable make the very most of the op-
portunities vouch-safed to them, one would hear
less OF broken resolutions and wasted lives

thou knowest to be duty" said Carlyle. "Thy
second duty will already have become clearer"

and finally resorted to cutting off the
culprlt's ears, we learn by sizing I'D
with our present-day methods that we
are still the same contrary human
things and the same pore critters
of "Widow Bedott" fame. Trying to
make men good by law is one of the
most lamentable tragedies of history.
And when we read of a Chinese en-
peror who tried to stop drinking by
uprooting all of the grapevines in his
Kingdom, and learn that the stubborn,
mulish, refractory Cinnamon then

at it, we must interpret this bit of
history by studying the conditions all
around us.
History Teaches Good.
We will never read history right or
teach it sanely until we poetize it or
put life into it by our daily expert
ence. Poetry is the highest expression
Of the soul. History so interpreted
teaches the highest good. Then we
can see that the most sublime thing in
history is that which is seldom re-
corded-the history, the annals, the
hopes and fears, the struggles and
miseries, the strength and courage,
the patience and endurance, of the
common man, IT'S not the grand mon
arch, like Louis XIV, who is sublime
1t is the sunken sea of humanity which
casts up Cyrus, an Alexander, Ma
poleon, or a Russian cara sunken
mass, butchered, starved and outraged,

death and the follies and crimes Of
kings.

BIRD SEASON RULES
Letter from Fish and Game Commits.
sioner Points Out Federal Law

Game wardens in Vermont have re-
ceied the following communication
from John W. Titcomb. fish and game
commissioner, relating TO migratory
birds which he believes the public in
general should know about:
Your attention is called to the
open season for migratory birds un-
der the federal migratory bird law,
so-cailed which takes precedence ov-
er the state law where ii establishes
a shorter open season. Under the
federal regulations, the woodcock
season does not open until October
hast and you are requested to warn
hunters not to shoot woodcock before
that date.
ION waterfowl which means ducks
tho open season under the federal
Law ends with the close OF the day.
December Is. Yon will please warn
persons to cease duck shooting De-
Cember 16.
You are not to make arrests I'M
de the federal migratory law, but
report the names and addresses of
any persons who actually violate the
Law.
The present season for woodcock,
opened October J., is as early as the
federal law allows for any state in
tho Union. The cooperation OF all
spo .tsmen should be secured or il
may become necessary to make a per
manent close season on woodcock to
prevent their extinction"
