"There's no need of wishing you
prosperity" said young woman OF
sixty-five. THAT is equivalent to wish
ing that somebody else has worse luck
than you. / can't wish you more hap
piness, because that may mean any
thing from intoxication to vegetation
What wish for you is youth-the con-
slant consciousness that life is ahead
of you, not behind, and a constant will
lingness to go ahead and welcome it."

thinks he is a thinker, sis that your

the new year? And what did you
swear of. II may ask again?"
Hubert borrowed another match and
relighted his pipe. on which he had
neglected to draw.
81 swore off on ever assoclnting with
or writing to any girl any more in my
whole life-and I'm going to stick to
it," he said firmly.
AL burst out laughing.
'It can't be DONE" he asserted. II
have five dollars in my pocket that
says youll break that resolution with
in a week"
"I'n take you. I'm against gambling,
but this is sure thing. l tell you
never again."
Hubert retired early and was tossing
and tumbling among the blankets,
when Al stole softly from the shack
and made his way to a shed where the
engineers supplies and surveying Inn
plements were stored.
Lighting lantern he seated him
self on a box of groceries, and then
grnning somewhat ruefully, produced
letter from a pocket of his coat.

He looked curiously at the address

trousers and opened it.

ly written sheets of paper. one OF
which started out with Dear JEAN.
"That's enough" he said, as he blew
out the light and left the shed. I'm
not reading my pals love letters. It's
bad blunder, but my forgetfulness
has saved the situation. 1t would have
been scream If the editor of Forest
Trail had received this manuscript.
And wonder how Jean liked the poem
He walked back toward the shack.
"I'n give it to Hub in the morning."
he thought, but after he had gone to
bed he got to turning 1t over In his
mind, with the result that early the
next day he hiked to Sheffield. Enter
ing the railroad station, which also
served as n telegraph Office, he busted
himself with yellow blank. After
spelling two blanks, he handed one to
the operator.
The message he had written was ad-
dressed to Jean Penbrook, at certain
address in st. Paul, and it said:
"Will you marry me in May? Must
know before the new year starts. Don't
answer If you refuse. Hubert"
"Tm a meddler as well as forger,
thought AL as he retraced his steps
toward camp after loading up with to-
bacco.
Shortly after the engineers had fin
ished supper a knock sounded on the
door and when Hubert opened it man
flourished n telegram in his face. HUI
bert signed for 1t, opened it and read
while AL got very busy with the T.
squares and the compass and the trian-
giles.
Not a word was said about the tele-
gram during the entire evening. Both
men busted themselves with their
drafting for an hour or two, then got
out books and read, waiting for the
new year to dawn.
The only timepiece in the shack was
an alarm clock, and this had been set
to ring out the old year.
Shortly before the hour approached,
Hubert seated himself at his desk and
became active with writing materials.
AL kept one of his eyes on his book
and chuckled softly, while the other
surreptitiously watched Hubert.
Presently the clock tangled the mid
night hour.
Happy New Year, Hub" called AL.
"How are you starting itT'
Hubert continued scratching with the
pen.
"None of your confounded business !"
he growled, without looking up.
AL laughed aloud.
"Pll hand you that five tomorrow"
announced Hubert, as he started on
the eleventh page.
"Never again." mimicked AL.

Happy New Year." said Al Stuart,
looking up from his drawing-board, T.
square and compass, and scratching
his ear with right-triangle.
Hubert favored him with n glare,
rose to his feet and administered two
kicks, one of which closed the desk
drawer, while the other sent the chair
beneath the desk.
A few steps took him to box stove
that was glowing and cracking. He
changed open the door balanced the
letters in his hand, as though weigh
ing the justice of his deed, and hurled
the packet into the blaze that reached

"Never again." he reiterated, as he
directed one more kick and closed the
stove.

laid aside the tools and lighted n pipe.

You've hit It," was Hubert's re-
sponse, ms he borrowed some tobacco
and a match from his friend and pro-
ceeded to cooperate in the process of
smudging the room.
Pipes make men closer friends and

vow to refrain from indulgence in
strong drink for whole year.
The practice of beginning the new
year with good resolutions, however,
is very, very old. The custom goes
back to the beginnings of recorded his
tory and was common to many peoples.
Time was when the New Years
resolution was a solemn affair marked
by elaborate religious ceremonies. For
example, the japanese, 300 years be-
fore Christ, made much of the day. All
outstanding accounts and debts were
cleared away, all enmitles were ended
under penalty of the law. The dwell
ing house was swept and garnished :
old furniture and old clothing were
cast away in exchange for new in the
belief that the assumption of new
conscience was complete only with the
assumption of new covering for the
body.
BY contemporary peoples was the
New Year day regarded as time OF SOL
emn renunciation of all follles ana an
amendment for the future. In the days
of the Pharaohs the Egyptians sym
bolized their publication with elabor-
ate baths and fasting; the Persians
and Phoenicians greeted the New Year
with prayer to the heather images and
with fiagellations.
With the passing of the centuries OLD
New Years vows have lost their for
NAL character. Turning over a new
leaf" is now matter of individual
and not national concern. Swearing
off, is even a favorite jest with the
humorist and cartoonist.
Nevertheless, the modern man Is
more sensitive to the appeal of the
New Year than he shows in public.
What makes the New Year is the new
ness of life that human nature brings
into ii. 1t is a New Year to everybody
according as everybody tries to live
over again, and pushes forward and
turns plan to action and discourage
ment to hope. People rely too much
ON resolutions to make year new.
