How would you like to have roll Of
bills containing eighty-five hard earned
dollars in currency slip into the flames of
q red hot stove at this time of q year?
Not very well! Well this is just what
happened to Mrs. Charles Loefaer Of
Albert Lea this week, according to the
Tribune of that city,. Mrs. Loeff1er after
folding the currency in neat roll, placed
it in the bosom Of her dress for safe
keeping and then busted herself about the
house. Later in the morning she missed
the money. The most diligent search
for the money in the kitchen and other
parts of the house, was fruitless. Finally
Mrs. Loeff1er remembered she had
put bunch of cloths and debris in the
stove. She opened the stove and after
poking about the Goals, she noticed the
smoldering bills over in one corner of the
stove. She quickly fshed out the badly
burned roll and with little water ex-
tinguished the fire. Mrs. Loeffler tender
ly gathered up the fragrants and took
them to the Freedom County Bank. An
official found that the denomination of
the bills was family discernible and an
effort will be made to have them re-
deemed. 81,

Some lucky New Year WAYS.

Some Lucky New Year Ways.
Throughout Europe many delightful
New Year customs prevail. In Scandi-
navia a feast is always prepared for
the little birds. which might otherwise
go hungry on account of the deep
SHOWS.
In Holland, as in Scotland. the wind
is noted with care, because the luck
Of the year will be determined by the
direction whence It blows. The south
wind brings heat and fertility. the
west wind milk and fish. the north
wind cold and storm and the east
wind fruitful season.
In Italy the New Year is day of
greeting and good will and special
feasting. Sicilian peasants take ad-
vantage Of the fete to drive to town
in their gay carts, so that the country
roads are merry with the music Of tin
king bells.
And Swiss folk. practical. industri-
Gus, stop their work for the nonce and
visit friends, even when they have to
carry their babies down the mountain
slopes in cradles on their heads.

conscience the verdict is that he done
the best he could with the material he

NEW YEARS ALLEGORY
When the Arriving TweIyemouth Walked
the City Streets.

CROSS the snowbound earth
the New Year stepped buoy
antly. A splendid youth he
was, with radiant eyes, full.
Ted lips and the star Of hope set so
proudly above his brows that where he
passed darkness turned to light. For
a whole year the world and the men
thereon were his.
Far away under the frozen sky
blaze of light shone like jewel, and
he turned toward the city.
And, though the lights shone boldly
when he entered it, most of the streets
were empty.
In one of the streets the New Year
met q woman. A dark veil futtered
around her. so that he could not dis:
tinguish her form, but her face was
very sweet as she bent and clasped
child to her heart. The New Year gave
her greeting.
''You are Charity. / know" he said
Charity laid her, hand in his and
smiled. And for & all his youth her
smile set him dreaming Of green, woods
and golden sunshine, Of vague sweet
things that were still unknown to him.
And then he. met another woman!
A glittering, gas moth this, with a
pert powdered face, carmined lips and
hard. bright eyes.
80, "'All hail!' she cried mockingly. It
shall be your constant companion, for
am Sin, and where men are there
you will always find me-"
ID The New Year shrank back, and his
face darkened. But Sin pressed close
to him, laughed loudly and. tearing a
rose from those at her breast, tossed
it to him, as with a rustic Of silk she
passed on The rose fell on the snow
powdered walk, and when the New
Year would have picked It up it was
scentless. and he saw that worm was
hid in its heart!
Another form came In sight-in, the
garb Of a monk with a dark hood

about his tranquil face. His eyes were
upon the ground, and his lips moved
in prayer for all mankind. So ten
der and pitiful was his face that even
before he cried "Miserere Domine!' the
New Year guessed that his name was
Mercy.
Very cold 1t grew as the New Year
turned into mean street, so cold
that he sought refuge in the porch of
darkened house. Yet there prevail
ed such grateful warmth that he
pressed back to learn its cause and so
brushed against a boy-a boy with a
wan, beautiful face, tangled hair and
rapt eyes.
''Why are you here alone? p the New
Year asked.
II am never alone" corrected the
boy, and he stepped aside so that the
New Year caught the fragrance Of his
breath and saw that two great wings
were furled behind him, and in the
shadow of his wings an old man and
an old woman crouched together. How
tired. how poor, they looked! But an
expression of inefable tenderness shone
on their pinched faces.
II am all they have" whispered
Love as tears filled his wonderful eyes.
They have never failed me. and
shall stay with them until the end"
II am the End" called another voice,
and grim figure mounted the steps,
"Not yet" begged Love. and he tried
to bar the strangers way. But at
sight Of the scythe the other bore
Loves great wings dropped.

Silently the New Year walked alone
with the night and the stars and the

the darkness faded into the eerie pallor
of dawn. He stretched out his arms
and welcomed his first day.

CELEBRATION UNIVERSAL.
Methods Differ Greatly, but New Years

Methods Differ Greatly, bus New Years
10 Observed Everywhere.
The commencement, of q new year
has been held in veneration by every
nation of antiquity. Notwithstanding
the diversity Of opinion as to what is
really the beginning Of another year,
all agree in celebrating. some day Of
Joy and festivity.
The ancient Greeks began their year
about the summer solstice,, June FL:
the Persians also In June, the Chinese
in March, and the yAbyssinians begin
their year in August. Among the an
cient Mexicans the beginning Of the
new. year was in February.
The new years day Of the Romans
previous to the age Of julius Caesar
was vague and uncertain and was held
generally in March or April. Caesar
sent to Egypt for the celebrated as
tronomer, Sosigenes, by whose assist
ance the Julian calendar was regulated.
The last day Of the old year and the
first day Of the new were consecrated
to the god Janus by these old Ro-
mans; hence he IS usually represented
with two faces Cooking backward and
forward).
The ceremony Of wishing one another
happy new year originated with the
Romans, as did the custom of present
ing new year gifts.
In northern Europe the druids went
into the woods on the last night of the
year and cut the mistletoe with gold
en- instrument This was afterward dis
tributed among the people. who pre-
served it about their persons as an am
ulet against the dangers of battle.
In Scotland New Years eve is called
Hogmenay or Singin cen. because in
certain parts of the country the young
men are in the habit Of going about the
country singing long song suitable to
the season and begging meals and mon
ey, which are generally distributed
among the poor.

There is an old and strange eastern allegory of man wandering in the desert: he draws near to a grove of trees. when he suddenly becomes aware that there is lion on his track. hurrying and bounding along on the scent of his steps. The man fees for safety into the grove: he sees there a roughly built water tank of stone. excavated in the ground, and built up of masonry much fringed with plants, He climbs swiftly down to where he sees ledge close on the water; as he does this. he sees that in the wa ter lies great lizard. with open jaws, watching him with wicked eyes. He stops short. and he can just support himself among the stones by holding on to the branches of a plant which grows from a ledge above him. While he thus holds on. with death behind him and before. he feels the branches quivering. and sees above. out of

PASSENGERS SAY FLAG WAS HCISTED AFTER ORCUNA
 LEFT LIVERPOOL.

New York.=Passenger on the Cu- hard line British steamer Orduna, which arrived from England, said the steamer flew the American flag nearly twenty-four hours on January 3l, while passing through the Irish Sea. The Stars and Stripes, they said. were hoisted about an hour after the Orduna left Liverpool and were not hauled down until next day.
 The Orduna was scheduled to sail from Liverpool January 30, but did not depart until 1:30 o'clock the next morning. Passengers heard that the reason for the delay was that a Ger man submarine was near. The Amer ican flag was raised. they said, short ly after the 0rduna cleared the Mer- sey. The steamship touched at Queenstown the same day and was flying the Stars and Stripes when she entered and left the harbor, they said
 The explanation the passengers re- ceiyed from some of the Orduna's un- der officers was that the flag had been raised to protect the American citi- zens among the 2f0 passengers.
 Ghas. P. Sumner. general agent of the Orduna, said he was under orders from the British admiralty not to talk. He also denied the Orduna had flown the American flag, except al her foremast, which. he explained. is GUS tomary on all ships to indicate the country to which they are bound.
