Human Nature.

We're built in such peculiar
style that unmixed Joy we cannot
know; behind the widest, glad
dest smile there always is some
hint of woe. Last night I sat be-
fore the fire with every cause
why l should laugh; I'd done my
weeks work on my Tyre, and
earned eight dollars and a half
(S8. .5o). My health was good, my
bills were paid, no man could say
l owed him coin, and in my larder
there was laid an ample stock of
ten derloin. I'd stovewood piled
in stately rick and coal was in
the basement bins; then why, you
ask, 0 gentle hick, was there
sadness in my grins? A bitter
wind swept DER the moor, /
heard it howl the long night
through, and heard the wailing
of the poor in every freezing blast
that blew. So I felt guilty as 1
sat IN comfort IN my 1nglenook
and fed tobacco to the cat or
turned the pages of a book. My
conscience prods me all the time
whenever Id enjoy .repose, ac-
cuses me of sin and crime and
pulls my hair and twists my nose.
| crank my car to take jaunt,
and conscience says I'm doing
wrong and talks of fellow men
in want who YEARLY must trudge
along. Pure happiness was not
decreed, | am convinced, for NOR
tai man, but, as we to the grave
proceed, let's be as happy as we
can. WALT, MASON.

ALL WEATHER SIGNS FAIL
Indications Are There Will Be Nc
Customary January Thaw.

The above-freezing temperature of
yesterday melted the snow lying on
the ice of the river. to some extent.
While the surface of the snow shows
but little signs of melting, there is a
sheet of water lying between it and the
ice. Under ordinary thawing condi-
tions this would hasten the decomposi-
tion Of the ice. but with below freezing
temperature at hand the melted snow
will freeze, and, adding to the thickness
of the ice, will only delay the opening
of the river, when the thaw does come.
All the weather signs on which river
men have depended for many years
have failed them this year. Usually a
thaw comes in January and the river
opens enough to allow vessels held
prisoners here to get away. This year
there has been no January thaw, and
from present indications there will be
none.
