HERE ARE SOME
GOOD RESOLUTION.

In this valley Of life, on each side Of
which are the mountains of eternity
resolve to walk onward, taking thet
sunshine and the rain in good spirit
helping any one whom you will meet
on the way. :
Suppose your life is in the homer
Resolve to make that home brightelt
and better for your presence. Do not
spoil the happiness of life that is
every human BEINGS heritage. Ra-
ther add to the joy of the hearth, so
that when you go, never to pass this
way again, loving thought will be
your meet.
Have vcu children? Then remem-
Der that once you were young. Be
kind to them. Never let it be said that
YOU needlessly turned chid's laugh
ter to tears.
If you have gossiped either over the
back fence or over the TEA cups, here
is your opportunity to make change
for the better. Of course you cannot
recall the unkind word that has gone
on with SNOWFALL proclivities, growing
to unrecognizable proportions. But
you can resolve to guard your tongue
and to think twice before you speak
once.
Each day read one beautiful thought
do one beautiful deed. 1t may be
just phrase of your favorite author
The sunset or sunbeam or child's
golden curls will give picture, II you
are looking for it. And as for doing
SOmethinp-that'S eaSy
Don't polish the waiting bench with
"hard luck" stories. Stir yourself.
Hard luck never caught up with
hustler. This is true of any kind of
work. Resolve to fight your battle
minus weak excuses.
Look at your face. DO the lines
al spectacle of horde of useless of $,
cials that are handed out "jobs" for 4
D better or more valuable pubic ser
,e than the bare purpose of paying q
olitical debts. How can it be done? a
h! That is easy, when the old Demo- :
attic Machine is we'll settled in the
lddle and is strongly equipped with
l overwhelming majority. 1t then
ecomes with said Machine a simple NJ
lestion of how far it can go in giving r.
1T political pap" to the "boys", at IN
lie taxpayers expense. If the tax Of
aver has any inclination to "kick," al
t him. The political Machine don't III
ind. 1t knows full well that when n,
e next election rolls around, it will w
'lbehtteef thaif 1t hattc tsan+ id5Re before.
In this world each one is filling a
place. If you haven't any special
work, make it, Don't be parasite.
If you have cheated any human be-
ing of his right, be ashamed and be
penitent. And don't stop there. Re-
solve to make restoration Of that
which you have stolen. This may be
WORD of praise; it may be a dollar
and it may be-many things. Who
are you in this great scheme that you
should withhold that which is due?
Don't be a doormat. The homely
rug on which people wipe their dirty
shoes has place; but you are a hu
man being with Il spine and heart
and soul. Doolmats must not be on
your next years calendar.
Being human being, you have the
ability to grow in ali ways toward the
superman. the ideal II you grit your
teeth and hold bact: aa a recalcitrant
ignorant child, you are SHINING. You
cannot stand still; you either move
forward or backward,
That question of love-how are you
going to answer it this coming year?
If you have closed the door of your
heart against it, be merciful to your
self, if to no one else. Let love for
some human being enter your door
with the new year. 1t is the greatest
force in the world Let it come into
your life!
