KEEPING AT K &

/ a man must choose, again and
again, when disaster meets him and
has a bout with him and spills him
whether he will stop right there or
whether he will get up and go on.
How can he quit and keep his self
respect? How can he give up and
keep faith with his fellows? If he
does not carry on and do his part,
he only shifts to the shoulders Of
some one else his bit of the general
burden.
Anybody can keep a boat going
with the current; what tests the
strength and stamina is the row up
stream Adversely brings out the es-
sential character. In fair weather a
weakling wears a shining face, for
his visage reflects the sun: but the
strong man keeps on smiling When
the day is foul, for the optimist is of
his own making and does not come
and go according to the weather.
Some men are smitten by a pang OF
jealousy to hear Of another's success
in a place where they fell down and
failed. 1t would be more to the point
if they studied the reasons for the
others victory and read to themselves
lesson from an examination of their
own defeat.
But no post-mortem is profitable
unless it leads straight to a decision
to try once more.
It will do no good whatever to sit
grieving. The busy world rushes on;
it has no time to give ear to a hard
luck story-though in cases Of acute
distress it's heart is far from hard and
it's sympathy is touching and magnifi-
cent.
But it expects q strong man to
Chamber out Of the slump and show
the stuff that is in him by refusing to
be downed.
The rewards go on to those who
keep at it. All history is bestudded
with the instances Of those who were
valorous and persistent, for whom the
tide turned at last
You could not keep them broken
and bespirited; you could not hold
them down. They were like that
giant of the old fable, Antaeus, who
came into contact with earth only to

LATE J. Ds LY6TVN
 The January issue of The Intellfgenoer published by the Metropolitan Insurance company contains q tribute to one of their agents, the late John D. Lyston of Burlington, Vt, who was the father of John T. Lyston Of this city, and who passed away last October The follow ing is the article published:
 Agent John D. Lyston of the Burling- ton, Vt, district, died Oct. Is, at his home in Burlington. He was 7s years old and lived in Burlington all his fife During the Civil War, he served in the 18th Vermont regiment He was 2 mem Der of St. Peters church. of Roberts Post No. 14, G. A. R., and the Knights of Columbus. He is survived by five daughters and two sons
 MT. Lyson had been with the Metre politan almost quarter of century As showing his character and his career, a letter from his EsuperiM endent,, Thomas Wagner. to Second Vice Presi- dent Gaston, tells a sorry of faithful service for this company Writing after he died Supt. Wagner said:
 T can honestly say for Mir. Lyston that he was one of the most faithful men that ever entered the service of the Met ropolitan. He came with us almost z quarter of a century ago, immediately after we opened in the state of Yer mont; and there was no time in his long career that he did not have the most in- tense interest in the company and in the welfare of his policy-holders. He wae retired from the service last summer and very reluctantly he relinquished his position because he stated he wanted to stay with us till the end. His phys. ical condition did not permit it; but il seemed hard for him to reconcile him self to the fact that he was unable t, attend to the duties of his agency. Ther, was no man ever associated with ui who was held in higher esteem, etthe- by his associates or the general public

The trial of the Nelson case must be finished today (Frfday), Judge Gardiner Greene told the attorneys in the supe- rior court here Thursday when he ad- iourned court at 1z30 for the day to al- low one of the jurors to attend c funer- al.
 In order to give as much time as pos sible for the cof1tinus ton of the trial today, Judge Greene directed that court will come in half an hour earlier than usual, thus opening court at $50 instead Of 10 o'clock. As the court session usually lasts until close to o'clock in the afternoon with an hour out for din- ner and probably half an hour taken ous in recesses, this gives about hours in which the remaining evidence, both for the defense, and the rebuttaI evidence by the state, arguments of the attorneys on each side and the charge to the jury by Judge Greene.
 The morning of Thursday was oecu- pied with evidence from witnesses for the defense in the trial of Miss Mary Jane Nelson on the charges of embezzlefneni of $195 from Samuel Greenes, proprietor of a woman's apparel store in New Lon- don.
