Have you broken your New Year's
pledge?
Make*a secret resolution; it will be
mote easily kept.
A man that can keop a secret, at
least has an honest heart.
Did you ever try keeping a secret?
It's easy after it gets a few months
old.
Don't depend too much on a man's
ignorance; ho may be taking secret
notes for future references.
The world is so full of tricksters,
that a great many people think they
arc being "worked" when they're
not at all.
If you have decided to "turn over a
new leaf" don't say anything about
it, then if you break the resolution,
no one can censure you for it.
Don't mistreat a man and still
persist in being his friend. You may
fool him for a time, but when he
learns you thoroughly he is liable to
underscoro the notes betakes of you.
We once heard a man say that
there's nothing like holding stones
over another's head. This same man
lias a perfect ledge suspended over
his, and he is just beginning to realize
it.
The force of circumstances some-
times makes it appear that one is
working to injure a friend, when in
fact the friend simply stands in the
position that unavoidably creates
such an impression on his mind.
Some people have such a high esti-
mation of their own abilities that
they sometimes overlook less pre-
tentions individual and consider him
as an "easy mark." Then when a
change comes in cold facts they have
that peculiar feeling which conies to
one after he has bet heavily on the
wrong horse.
* We imagine that Billy Bolton, of
the Woodward Xews, took a good
deal of pride in running that "Liars'
corner" in his last week's issue. By
so doing he advertised the lie more
than did any other one man. That
