A NEW YEAR OF HOPE.

Hope for the best in the New Year
While you are hoping for the best. dc
your best, writes John a. Sleicher in
Leslie's. and he continues:
The year 1915 will not be different
from other years. 1t will have its sun
shine and it's shadows: It's joys and its
sorrows: it's births and deaths.
OF course there will be troubles.
Think of those who live on our troubles.
Lawyers, dentists and doctors would
sound bodies and contented minds.
Demagogues would go into retirement
if they couldn't stir up troubles and
promise to cure them.
The clergyman and the editor might
make a living in PEACEFUL world. the
former seeking to ur,:ft and the latter
to educate, but troubles help to keep
them busy also.
Remember that everybody can do al
least little to tighten another's bur-
den. 1t is not necessary to have a for
tune to be {. generous giver. A cup OF
cold water to a thirsty soul will be a
priceless gift. 1t was the widows mite

Van Swearingen lost the nomination be-
cause he allowed Americanism to talk against

Rona0aaism bitterly resented the public ex-

So extreme became the feeling, that q cow

This intolerant Ron2Gaeist was not willing
