NEW YEARS DAY

~ HE storm-wind sank. the moon rode
high,
Set round with silver haze.
Where, late, sky-spaces wonderful
Showed green as chrysoprase.
Within the old gray church anon
The gathered folk would sit:
1 met the old year on the hill,
And bade farewell to 1t.
The woods around stood stark and dim,
But at my feet white birds
Fluttered, the wraiths of kindly deed
And sweet, remembered words.
Above me. from Orion's belt,
J A great gem flashed and fell:
Was 1t seraph prince sped by,
Michael, or Gabriel?
Then though my lonely heart must mourn
For some that come no more,
White sails of Hope / seemed to see
Set to sapphire shore.
AS he who dreamed a New World sailed
On an uncharted sea,
From Palos with his caravels
Lured by mystery.
So, under flaming Asian skies.
Or by the still, white Pole.
That Great Adventure, the New Year,
Beacons the human soul.

DANISH THAT STRAW MAN

Supposing you thought you had been
able to ward off all bad luck during the
coming year by merely throwing a
straw image out of your house on the
last day of December. You would
have thrown out not only one image,
but dozen. And supposing that with
the discarding Of the straw effigy you
had thrown away all your sins. This
is what the people Of far-away Korea
believe. On the day before New Years
the wise and far-seeing head of each
family carefully makes rough Image
of straw, which, with great ceremony,
is taken to the door and thrown away
with all the vigor man would exert
when he threw away Ill fortune.

TT rs the custom of certain rail-
way engineer to have his boy
Il with him now and then in the en-
CINE cab. The youngster states that
he has ''ringed the bell and blown the
whistle" but that he has not yet
pulled the throttle"
This seems to be the matter with a
good many older ones of the present
generation, and it may explain their
lack of progress. They have rung the
bell and they have blown the whistle,
but they have neglected to open the
throttle.
That invisible force that is in us all
responds wonderfully when we call
upon it, but is only a useless and d.
minishing energy until we do. Bell
and whistle may advertise that we
have steam up, but they cannot get
us along. They may both be active
while we are really slowing up, like
the train that approaches a stop.

NEW YEARS CALLS

From old Dutch times to the middle
of the Nineteenth century New Years
day in many American cities was de-
voted to the universal interchange Of
visits. Every door was thrown open
and it was breach Of etiquette to
omit any acquaintance in the annual
calls. when old friendships were re-
newed and family differences amicably
settled.
