NEW YEAR "NEVER AGAINS"
All Lovers, Married or Single,
That Are Timely.

If you haven't thought up any, here
are a few timely suggestions
For hubby: Never again to spend
moment out Of the presence of the
wife unaccompanied by a trustworthy
guardian appointed by her, who will
report faithfully all Of your doings,
even to the irregular quiver of an eye
lash, or the drinking Of soda instead
OF buttermlk.
Never again to be such brute as
to want to stay at home when the
wife wishes to go out, or TO wish to
go out-by yourself--when wife de-
sires you to stay at home in the bos.
ON Of your family.
Never again to growl, grumbe or
swear, or pretend to be asleep when
the wife pokes you i'll the back and
asks you to walk with the baby in
the middle of the night.
Never again to threaten to forbid
tradespeopIe to allow the wife credit
If she and the girls do not cease their
eXtravagance--when the monthly bills
come in.
Never again to forget to peck wife
on the check upon leaving her in the
morning and coming home at night,
to tell her that her frightful new bon
net is perfect gem, and that her
'fourteen-year-old' short dress is al
together too old-looking for her youth.
full figure.
For wife: Never again to make
biscuit for breakfast until you have
tried them on your own digestion for
few weeks in the absence of the
rest of the family
Never again to notice pa exchang-
ing glances with the pretty girl across
the aisle all the way downtown.
Never again to keep the lights
turned on when pa has been detained
downtown ION business in order to
see what time he gets home, or to
insist on his kissing you that you may
smell his breath.
Never again to come to the table
with hair in crlmpers and wearing a
soiled kimono.
Never again to subject pa to spells
of lachrymose reproaches, telling him
that he doesn't love you any more.
For lovers, married or single: Never
to miss an opportunity to tell the dear
old story over and over again.
Never to lose the coquettish elu.
siveness that makes lovers SO delight
ful to each other.
Never again to spend the sweets of
young lover souls in cheap tlirtations
when there is such world of real
happiness at your command.
Never to become insensible to the
delicious tremblings and fiutterings of
your own heart, or to become lax In
all of those lovely attentions and CIV
ings that help to keep keen response
a-thrill in the heart of the beloved.

NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Occasion When Whole Country Is
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year Is the national payday in
China All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases If there is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together and make all sorts of COM
promises to keep up the business rep
utation Of the clan. New Year Is a
great day for the pawnbrokers; their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things
In order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.
The Chinese paint the whole coun-
try red, figuratively speaking, on New
Years day, in more senses than one.
Red Is the color which with them de-
notes good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invita-
tions are on paper of that color. Every
child gets its New Years present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscrip-
tions are pasted over the doors OF
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying for good fortune,
wealth and happiness, and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
Of the houses. New pictures of Chi.
nese generals are put on the front
doors and the houses are secured and
made clean.-Philadelph Inquirer.

When the Worlds All New.

1t is the same old world that we
greeted on New Years morning. But
somehow it looked so different. The
invisible dividing line between last
year and this has made possible a
new angle of vision. The grip of old
passions seems to have lost its hold
and new purpose, partly old, partly
new, throbs for recognition. A gen.
tleness appears in faces thought to
be hard and cynical. Happiness
sparkles in the eyes of sad and lonely
folk. sort of introduction Is need
&c to oneself. For the dawn of the
new year makes possible a fresh at
tack on the age-weary problems,
another attempt to produce the best
instead of the good, and new walk
down by-ways OF human experience
where one may be good Samaritan
with no eye but mis- to see and
understand. The world is all new on
New Years morning - my world,
your world, our world-to make over
for the Kingdom. - Ralph Welles
Keeler.

QUAINT SOLDIER CEREMONY
How Crack Scotch Regiment, the Sea-
forth Highlanders, Ushers In
the New Year.

The Seaforth Highlanders, one Of
Scotland's crack regiments now at the
front, have one of the most peculiar
New Years eve customs of the whole
British army. The ceremony is pic.
turesque and imposing.
On the night of Hogmanay, at about
l0:30 o'clock, the regiment assem-
bles in the barrack square. A few
minutes later the Oldest soldier in the
battalion, dressed as a Druid, makes
his appearance, to the accompani-
ment of a flourish of trumpets AS
cending the improvised throne, he
calls on the veterans to show their
uniforms and achievements Of bygone
times. To the music of the pipes and
brass band veteran after veteran, ar
rayed in the uniforms worn by the reg
iment at different periods, marches
past and salutes the Druid. The Druid
then toasts "The Seaforth Highland
ers."
After a display of Highland dancing
the alarm is sounded, and the second
oldest soldier, arrayed as Father Time,
approaches. The veterans then re-
treat, leaving their honors to be guard.
ed by their successors, and Father
Time expels the Druid.
At the last stroke of midnight
loud knock is heard at the gate and
out rings the sentry's challenge:
Halt! Who goes there?"
'The New Year!" comes back the
answer.
Advance, New Year, and give the
countersign!" is the next command.
Pass, New Year; all's WE'LL"
The gate is then opened and the
youngest boy of the battalion enters,
dressed as the high chief of ancient
Ross, to represent the New Year. The
colonel shakes hands with the boy,
while the band strikes up, "A Guild
New Year to Ane and A."
After the colonels greeting to the
battalion the national anthem is
played and the men fall out

Their Resolutions.

They were young as April as they
pressed close to window full of Won
derful confoctions.
What bad habits are you going to
give up this New Year?' he asked
"You," she answered briefly; what
bad habits are YOU going to give up?"

he responded firmly, so our engage
ment stands
Very well, then, go in and buy me
that heart-snaped box of candy" And
both New Year resolutions went the
way Of their kind.

weirdly incongruous way. Roger s
coat was still brightly speckled with
red, yellow and blue confetti; there
was q battered tin horn protruding
from one pocket, and a particolored
fools cap made Of tissue paper was
set rakishly askew on the bronze bust
of Beethoven on the piano.
In the hazilyrecalled grotesquerie
of last nights Homecoming, Roger had
denuded himself progressively, be-
ginning with his shoes at the door,
his hat and waistcoat beside the
dresser: trousers and linen at the
foot Of the bed and, last Of all, his
scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow
beneath the mob of the bedpost.
Roger sat up regarding all this
whimsically for some time and Won
dering duly how it is that morning
daylight always imparts such hag-
gard aspect to the rosy visions of the
night before. He yawned and
stretched prodigiously; then made
bound for the washbowl and i'm
mersed his head in gratefully cold and
refreshing water from the tap.
"Heigh-ho, New Years morning
and my fortieth birthday all in one!
The good Lord knows that | don't

today and as comfortable a bachelor
as any ! know. Hereby | do solemnly
avow placid life of celibacy. No

Roger dressed leisurely, not little
pleased with the positive formulation
of the idea that really had been in
the back of his head for months past.
He liked and admired girls, of course
what real man doesn't? But 1t was
in a detached impersonal sort Of way.
He enjoyed their chatty conversations
as mentally restful after weighty busi-
ness conferences at the office all day
long; he liked vivacious femininity
across the table when he dined out
in the evening. But as for actually
burdening himself with one woman for
life-as for voluntarily demonstrating
himself, eschewing the good fellows at

Wealth enough to support your

Patience enough to toll until some

MIGHT GO FURTHER.
GO TO CHURCH!

In his message to the legislature
Governor Hatfield asks for more
stringent laws regulating newspaper
publications, and would make particu-
lar provision against campaign Can
ards" as he calls them.
This may all be very well, but an
addition to the proposed law might
well be made which would require
public officials, when they make pub
lie addresses, to stick to the facts,
and not endeavor to deceive the pub
lie by misleading facts, and not en-
deavor to deceive the public by mis-
leading and incomplete figures, and
entirely suppressing others which
may happen not to be entirely favor
able to the cause they advocate.
A distinguished member of Gov
ernor Hatfeld's official family came
to Huntington during the campaign,
and, in a public address, gave what
purported to be facts and figures con-
corning the finances. of the state.
Now this distinguished gentleman
either gave the people of Huntington
figures which were calculated to mis-
lead and deceive, or the figures shown
by the tax commissioner audit,
made public some time later, are en-
tirely erroneous.
Is it not just as great wrong for
public official to make a false state
ment in the course of a political cam
paign as it is for newspaper to
make false statement in the course
of a political campaign Hunting

THINK IT OVER.

The weekly newspaper promotes
the interests of the town in which it
is published to such an extent that
it becomes impossible to place an
estimate upon it's worth. There is
no enterprise that does SO much for
the corporation or the individual cit
izen as the paper. 1t stands opposed
to the town knocker, the town kicker,
the town fanatic and the town
drones. 1t stands for action as a
gainst dry rot. 1t stands for pro-
gress as against stagnation. 1t is
ever ready to combat the schemes of
Missionaries and as ready to aid the
constructive plans of the wise and
level-headed citizens. 1t is for the
upbuilding of the community. The
paper has not yet come into its own,
however, because it is never appre-
eiated to the extent of it's worth by
the people at large. Yet when bat
ties are to be fought for town or
county a rush is made to the news
paper Office always to find the loyal
editor ready, frequently without hope
of reward Many other enterprises
are encouraged by bonus, but rarely
is the newspaper offered any such
help and still more often not given
the support it is entitled to. Com
munities frequently lose sight of
their real benefactor when they fail
to recognize the weekly journal as
such. The editor and his paper stand
as the bulwarks of defense against
the attacks of evil or designing
schemes affecting the good of the
individual or the town. For these
of the town and county should re-
ceive the support of the public at
large in very liberal degree, for it
is really the most important business
enterprise of the community.
