cessful life, and he caused many TO
wonder why the Old man numbered
him among the statesmen In his fash
ionable store. His name had shrunk
from Solomon to Sol, as an Indication,
perhaps, that the full name was too
large a program for him, while his
surname suggested that he was but a
small part of what he desired TO be.
This suggestion was based upon
fact, for there was in Sol dissatis-
faction with himself that gave promise
Of Improvement, an ambition that set
before him a goal farther on and
higher up than his smarter associates
had purposed. Beneath his red thateh
and behind his unattractiyeness Sol
had a conscience, heart and a most
determined will 1t was the honesty
and the reliability of his character
that had given him favor with his en-
ployer, ana a certain considerable kind
illness had made him acceptable to the
customers qualities not common
enough in these days to De despised.
At this New Year time Sol Sample
was particularly anxious to turn over
a new leaf. He shared the desire that
comes then to us all to break into a
better future. 1t is an early stirring
of life's spring season, thought of
renewing with the young year our lost
youth, Of possible attachments of pur-
ity and beauty, a rekindling of old en-
thusiasms. Let those who will, sheer
at New Year resolutions; there is a
reason for them and there is promise
in them. They present TO a plowboy
something more than mirage and
they offer to a roue one more glimpse
of heaven.
But Sol hardly knew what TO write
upon the blank page after he had
turned II. There seemed to him to be
no better course than to plod through
another three hunlred and slxfy-fve
days as faithfully as ne might know
how, which was, after all, about as
good prospect as anyone could have
had.
Soils puzzle, however, was solved
for him by others ana in a most un-
expected manner, as is the case with
50 many puzzles. In his makeup he
had taken the first nose that turned
