Most good takers are poor cutters.
If a man lends his influence he rarely
gets it back.
Some men court, then marry, then go
to court again.
Most of us would rather preach than
practice, anyway.
A leader is a great man who knows
when to sidestep.
A first-class lawyer can break any
will-excepting his wife's.
But il man is foolish and doesn't
know it, it's sign that he has no wife

SkATED 1914 OUT
TOpekans Welcomed in New
Year ON Thick Ice.


January 1. 1915, arrived to the ac-
compartment of booming guns. Shrek
ing whistles. bells and the merry well
coming of the faithful watchers who
stayed out of bed to be among the arst
to greet the glad New Year.
One Of tho unusual things this year
was the skating parties. On the numer-
Gus ponds about the city last night the
ice held strong. Crowds Of skaters,
lured sby the yellow glow Of a brilliant
moon, remained to welcome the First
of January while they sported on the
ice. It was an exceptionally fine night
for the sport, with the temperature on
the safe side Of the freezing mark, but
no wind.
Many early sleepers who had en-
trusted the Business of watching out
the old year to the more wakeful ones
were reused at midnight by the noise
Of guns.
The time-worn custom Of frightening
away the evil spirits that are prone to
hover in the procession which the new
year brings. was not neglected. Fire
arms that for months had reposed in
sequestered hooks as supposititious pro-
lection against burglars were hauled
out, loaded and discharged as the mid
night hour rolled around. The whistles
at the Santa Fe shops, at the water
the city sent forth their peals of shrill
welcome and bells changed across the
city for a quarter Of an hour.
Then in the early hours of 1915 the
heavy-lidded watchers turned their
footsteps hOmeward and sought rest
One more year had passed into history
and still another had begun.
