BROKEN RESOLUTIONS.

One of the stock jokes of January
is the number of men who swear off
Jan. 1 on bad habits, and then in a
few weeks drop back to their old
ways.
It is one thing to make a good
resolution, at home with your wife
looking at you. Also mothers picture
over the manteI. Quite another, when
out with the boys at L a. m
Yet a man who is to command 9TH
ers in life must have some command
over himself. If he can not stick to a
certain course two weeks, he will
hardly be able to make others do his
will in any business enterprise.
A man who. expects to do large
things must be impervious to ridicule
The people who envy his success will
always find his ideas absurd. Hence
it is excellent practice to make and
keep a, resolution in the face of the
jeers Of ones friends. After you find
you can do it, you have an excuse for
quitting if it seems best. But usually
the resolution proves permanently
useful
New Years resolutions are said to
be out of fashion. Perhaps that is be-
cause one day a year for new begin
nings is so inadequate. Every day in
the year ought to bring some new pur-
pose and larger hope.
