candidate of the anti-administration
faction, by 1866 votes, according to
the report Of the canvassing commit

New Year.
BY RAY |. HOFFMAN,.

Gaze forth on the bright, shining sun
of tomorrow,
Think not Of the faults and mistakes
Of the past,
Nor drink from the gall favored goblet
Of SORROW
Take one backward look and let that
be your last.
The old year has gone and the new is
before us,
The road to the future is open to
you,
So mingle your voice with the joy
swelling chorus
And heed to the call of the year that
is new;
Away with the thoughts and the words
pessimistic,
The wrongs of the past and the
things that annoy;
But substitute action and deeds opti-
mistic
And anchor yourself in the harbor
of Joy.
The future depends upon striving and
trying
And doing your best with your own
little part,
The slogan of all should be 'Dolng or
DYING
Just swing into line with a good run
ming start.
Forget all things past that are border
ed with sadness.
Retain only that which is wholesome
and sweet;
Oil may the new year be o'erfowing
with gladness-
A gladness unstinted, minutely COM
plete.
So keep straight ahead on the new
opened highway,
The sunshine is bright and the sky
is clear blue;
Retrace not the past's narrow, rough
ened old byway,
But travel the road of the year that
Is new,

The New Years Coming.
BY FREEMAN E. MILLER.

Better hurry, Mister New Year! We've
been waiting, waiting long
For the romping of your rapture and
the laughter Of your song,
And the gate is standing open where
the living dreams are sweet
While the happy hands Of welcome
scatter roses for your feet.
Hurry, Mister New Year,
There's welcome warm for you,
Where the hearts Of hope are wait
ing
And the dreams are coming true |!
Hurry, Mister New Year! We are
weary of the king
That has ruled so long with sorrow
he's forgotten how to sing
We are weary Of his scepter and the
burdens that he knew,
And we're waiting in the highways
with welcoming for you!
Hurry, Mister New Year!
Lo, the morning purple CLEANS,
And the heart of hope is waiting
For the browning of its dreams!

A Poem for the New Year.
BY S. e. KIsER.

I will start anew this morning with a
higher, fairer creed;
/ will cease to stand complaining OF
my ruthless neighbours greed;
/ will cease to sit repining while my
duty's call is clear.
/ will waste no moment whining and
my heart shall know no fear.
I will look sometimes about me for the
things that merit praise;
/ will search for hidden beauties that
elude the grumbler's gaze;
I will try to find contentment in the
paths that must tread.
/ will cease to have resentment when
another moves ahead.
will not be swayed by envy when my
rivals strength is shown;
will not deny his merit, but I'll strive
to prove my own;
win try to see the beauty spread be
fore me, rain or shine
I win cease to preach your duty and
! be moe concerned with mine,

Goodby, Old Year.
BY THEODORE II. BOICE.

The time has come to say goodby,
Old Year, for we must part;
And tits reluctantly we speak
The word that wrings the heart.
For you have been a faithful friend
Through all your twelve-month stay.
A friend who chung to us by night
And walked with us by day.
We we'll remember when you came,
A bright and smiling youth,
With all the promises of hope
And all the cheer of truth.
We hailed you then with merry shouts,
And fondly clasped your hand;
With you we started on the road
To newer conquests planned.
Meath sunny skies we journeyed ON
Along life's thoroughfare,
And you were ever at our side,
In all our joys to share.
Through days of toll and days Of rest
We always found you near,
A loyal friend, companion true,
With purpose ever clear.
When skies were dark, and rough the
way,
And grief and trouble came,
You through misfortune to us chung,
Your friendship e'er the same.
Through summers heat and winters
cold,
Through gladness, doubt and fear,
You with us steadfastly remained
A loyal friend, Old Year.
But now you're sadly aged, old friend,
Your hair is white as snow;
Your steps, once firm, are faltering,
And you desire to go,
We cannot keep you 'gainst your will,
And so it's with sigh
We clasp your trembling hand and say
"Goodby, Old Year, goodby!"

New Year Greetings.
BY r. T. HART,

From out of the dark and silence
And separation long
In grateful, glad remembrance
/ send this little song:
The year has seemed long one
Without your voice, your smile,
Yet blessed, holy memories
Have cheered each weary mile.
In absence still cherish
These memories Of you
And send these lines on New YearG
morn
To pledge my faith anew.
God grant that ere Ii closes
All blessings it may bring
To you whO've frightened many yearS
And to whom now / will sing.
May it be bright and happy,
And may it's smiles and tears
Weave DER your life a rainbow
OF hope for al jour yearS

At the Years Close.
BY CHARLOTTE FIsKE BATES.

If fault of mine, or pride or fear,
Has cost one soul, or far or near,
One bitter pang, one burning tear,
May the hurt die with thee, Old Year.
If sorrow ever deafened me
So that, in vain, on Doubts dark sea,
One called on me despairingly,
Old Year o, hide that cry with Thee
If gracelessness in anything
Has weighted some poor struggling
wing,
Or heedlessness has left sting,
o speeding year, my pardon bring!
If I have failed where need was sore,
Appreciation's wine to pour,
SelfishIy keeping it in store
Now, Heaven absolve me, implore!
May every wrong and hurt of mine,
Or felt or given, leave no sign,
Touched with the blessed anodyne-
Good will! Gods peace! the Birth
Divine!

The Old Year.
BY JOSH WINK.

We bid goodby to thee, Old Year,
But not with sad regret;
For long the scars of thy sore wounds
Will be upon us yet.
A record thine Of blood and woe,
OF nations in fierce strife,
The greater one for world control,
The weaker ones, for life.
Thou hast kept arms in mems gripped
hands,
The tears in women's eyes,
The dread in little children's hearts,
Death rattles in their cries;
Lands hast thou swept Of homes and
crops,
Where toll contented reigned,
Thou hast brought flame to scorch and
kill,
With blood the soil hast stained.
Across the seas thy direful work
Hast planted seeds Of hate
In fearful deeds and wrath to come
To live and terminate.
O fateful year, o fatal year!
Pass from our shuddering sight.
God grant the year which waits its
birth
May bless where thou didst blight

Little New Year.
By KATHERINE FAITH.

The old, old Year goes out at the door,
But the little New Year comes in;
| And to take the place Of the sQuan-
dered days
There's a Year just about to begin
He's a dear little chap, is the small
New Year,
And deep in his eyes Of blue
Is the promise Of all the joy that life
Is holding in store for you.
Health's shining there-if you'll cross
your heart
To live with a wise discretion
And then follows Sleep, and then fol-
lows Play,
And Love joins the dim procession.
And trailing behind are the ghosts OF
the years
That wait on the Grown-Up Shore,
And haunt all the paths of After-a-
While
That lead to the Futures door.
The New Year stands on his tippy-toes
And puts in your two brown hands
The reins of his steeds, 1 CAN ana
l WILL
To drive through the deep life sands.
And hard he stares with his wistful
eyes,
Wond'ring if you'll get through
And hoping that all of the dreams he's
dreamed
VIII have the good taste to come
true.

Palm Bowler Guides Ball With
Little Finger; He's a Phenon

Here and there In America, In
cities with large German popula-
lions, will be found a few men
who bowl balls containing no
fingerholes and using the palms
OF their hand and the wrist to
control the big 16-pound sphere
lin its course down the alleys.
The master of palm bowling,
perhaps the only man in the
world who can consistently beat
most American bowlers without
using the fingerholes, Is Count"
John Gengler, partner of Jim
mie Smith, premier bowler of~the
world, with whom he is now tour
ing the country.
Gengler is a native of Luxem-
burg and has been In America
only two years. He had been
recognized as the champion bowl
er of Europe at the ten-pin game
and upon his arrival in America
started to master the American
game.
Before leaving Europe Gengler
had not bowled more than score
of games American style.
Bowling in Brussels three years
ago, Gengler rolled "a consecu-
tive strikes, record that bowlers
are still shooting at.
Gengler's uncanny skill in spin
ming and hooking the ball is ac-
complished almost entirely with
his little finger, which is stretch
ed far on the left side Of the ball.
AS the ball leaves his hand he
crooks the little finger rapidly,
, giving the ball practically the
same position that the ordinary
bowler obtains by twisting the
wrist slightly as the ball is shot
down the alley.
