Testinq the Future.

With the exception of All Saints day
there is no time in the whole twelve
month about which so many supersti-
tons cluster as New Years Some
form of divination to foretell the fu-
ture is practical in almost every land
ON Jan. 1. This, Of course, is gen
orally the case with young people who
desire to know whether they will get
married during the coming year or
soon thereafter. In the country dis
tricts of England and Germany there
is tea and coffee test which is most
satisfactory. A teaspoon is balanced
carefully on the edge of cup. Then
tea or coffee, as the case may be, is
dropped into it drop by drop. Every
drop that the spoon will hold without
losing it's balance means another year
before the wedding. One or two large
drops will usually upset the spoon, and
so this is very popular way Of look
ing into the future.

burned flercely and completely and In
lack Of food had died down to almost
nothing. A few wisps of smoke still
rose, few Goals glowed, but beside
them nothing remained to indicate
even the laying out of the former plan
Only over across a dead acreage Of
ashes rose here and there the remains
Of isolated brick walls. They looked
through the eddying mists and smoke
like ancient ruins separated by wide
spaces.
l gaZed duly across the waste area,
taking deep breaths, resting, my mind
numb. Then gradually it was borne in
on me that the Plaza itself looked rath-
er more empty sided than it should. A
cold hand gripped my heart. 1 began
to skirt the smoldering embers Of the
shanties and wooden warehouses try
ing to follow where the streets had
been. Men were prowling about every
where, blackened by smoke, their cloth
ing torn and burned.
"Can you make out where Higgins
store wasp one of them hailed me. II
had little shanty next door and some
gold dust. Figure 1 might pan it out
Of the ashes if I could only find the
place."
l had no time to help him and left
him prowling around seeking for a
landmark.
The Plaza was full Of people. l made
my wav to tho mort haTlv corner and
pushing Il passage through the by
ISLANDERS, contemplated three jagged,
tottering brick walls, heap Of smol-
dering debris and a twisted tangle Of
iron work. This represented all that
remained of the Ward block. The
shanties had destroyed our fortune.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1917-01-04
"Saye the goodsw was the cry.

"Save the goods" was the cry.

chandise, fixtures, furniture, anything

I worked as | had never worked be-

property | thus saved. At first |
CROPPED in the darkness, Selling what |
could, then gradually, like the glow of
a red dawn, strange light grew,
showing dimly and ruddily the half
guessed features of the place. 1t glow

heating metal slowly turns red, and
then the flames licked through, and,
dripping with sweat, / abandoned that
place to its enemy.
All sense Of time and all sense of To-

strange world of deep, cOncealing shad-

myself with some stranger, and we
would exchange brief explanatory re-
marks.

"LOoks like f."

"PrObably. Don't catch me under no

And we would go at it again.

Good Cheer ON
New Years Day

WHEN l was a girl of sixteen re
w ceived one New Years day i'll
an old New York family Of
Dutch name and descent in a spacious
old house which long ago was torn
down for business purposes, wrote the
late Alice Morse Earle, famous for her
descriptions Of early American Gus
toms. The grandaunt, grand dame,
had her table set on that day to her
taste and in the old style, and recall
well it's appearance.
In the center was large epergne of
silver and cut glass filled with tiny
mandarin oranges, lady apples and raj
sins. A splendid boiled ham, great
turkey and a boiled goose, all served
cold, stood on this table, and there
were handsome forms Of veal loaf and
jellied chicken and several cut glass
dishes of picked lambs tongues and
oysters, which no one tasted.
Decanters of port and MADEIRA stood
here and were constantly refilled. Egg
nog was served with New Years cakes
from another table, which held also a
vast frosted cake like a wedding cake.
All the dishes were decorated with lit
tie rosettes and streamers of silver pa
per and wreaths of ground pine.
From 1 O'Clock in the afternoon until
8 in the evening constant relays Of hot
oysters were served-steWed oysters,
scalloped oysters, creamed oysters
and l think those were the only hot
viands that appeared. Two barrels of
oysters had been sent from Mystic.
Conn, on Dec. 80.
Certainly 200 men called ON that day
many of them very old men, men Of
distinction il public life, whom l am
glad | saw and kneW-and all ate
heartily of the hot oysters, as if this
house was the only one where they
found any food, when really all had
been in fifty houses equally generous
in provision for hungry crowd.
When the calling was ended the eX-
ira servants Of the day, all negroes,
carried off to their homes all the pick
led oysters and tongues and the ported
dishes. And the grandaunt said, with
vexation, Il will never have those cold
picked things again. No one touches
them" Deborah" said her brother
"you have said that every New Years
night for fifty years"

New Years Calls

DERHAPS the only distinct Dutch
custom that afterward came into
widespread use in the United
States, though now discontinued, was
the New Years calls of the gentlemen
on their lady friends.
The main thing to be accomplished
on New Years day was a certain num-
Der of calls made on one hand and a
certain number received On the other
That being the game, why not play it
and compare notes? SO the young man
who came in and said: Happy New
Year! Lovely day, isn't it? Yes
this is my twenty-ffth call. Jack Bull
lard and | are going to make fifty.
Thanks, believe 1 will; 1 remember
your lemonade Goodby. Happy New
Year. seemed to live up to the re-
quirements Of the day.
Grandmother had pronounced views
as to the morality of serving anything
of an intoxicating nature on New
Years day. AS she said, ''It would not
matter if ours were the only house
visited but when a man sets out to call
on fifty people and takes little wine
at each house he is none the better
for it, and, besides, it is a poor exam
pie for young men and a bad beginning
for the new year." - Charles Battell
