SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR.
Little Difference, However, Between
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

Today is officially the shortest day OF
the year. although to the landlubber it
may not seem materially shorter than
yesterday.
AS a matter of scientific fact the Naval
Observatory announces that the sun rose
this morning at 7:24 o'clock, and is due
to set this afternoon at 4:4S o'clock.
There is less than minutes difference
between the lengths of this day" yes
terday and tomorrow. Only scientists
can figure the difference out, and they
have not done SO.
So it is little to be wondered at that
nobody will be extremely aware that
today is shorter than yesterday. The
shoItness of the day does not strike
alarmingly upon the consciousness or
cen the subconsciousness of today's
busy shoppers. Clocks, ticking of the
minutes. do not seem a bit bothered
about 1t. After all is said and done.
today will stand in history as being
about as long as the average day
twenty-four hours, more or less.
The weather bureau reports that the
fact Of today's being SO short hasn't in
fluenced the weather any. Christmas
weather is still unsettled. Cloudiness is
predicted for tomorrow. continued
warm. There is a big storm in the
west, however. which may bring snow
for Washington on Christmas day.
And then again it may not.

James j. Jeffries made the big mistake Of think

mistake
And 80 it is in baseball game. The side that
makes the most errors generally always loses the
game, because the opposing side takes quick advan-

The man confined here in prison lost the chance

The above are just few examples that 90 TO
show that the mistakes of one are very nearly al

COURAGE

Courage 0 heart, and be not backward lookngv'
Let dull despair no longer with thee stay.
Brood not thy yesterdays sad failure:
Live in the glad, all-possible TO-DAY.
Waste not thine energies in vain regretting,
But strive the present duties to fulfil.
The PAST is dead it is beyond recalling
But we may mould the future as we will.
And may profit by each sad experience
May let each failure be stepping stone
To something that is higher purer, nobler,
And thus may be able to atone.
Life is full of deep aud tender meaning,
Such glorious possibilities abound,
That every hopeful, every true endeavor
With good and grand results may yet be crowned.
Now, God be thanked that unto is given
A new, fresh field of action every day.
Then courage, heart, and be not "backward-look-

But for strength of purpose humbly pray.

Contentment in Work

The most miserable people in the world are

ter off than those who are forced to work, and to
do it so grudgingly that life is merely matter of
dull routine. Happy is the man who loves his work,
who rejoices in all the details of his calling be-
cause he can carry them out perfectly; who rises
slowly but surely toward the goal of his ambition,
and sees the labors of his mind and his hands grow
ing out of the weary days into the beauty and
strength that he gave them.-Sel.
