NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
Although Usually Broken They Often
Result In Something Worth While
to the Maker.
At the close of the year a great
(uany men and women review the
Events and experiences through which
they have passed, and resolve to profit
toy thorn during the coming year. Many
a man “turns over a new leaf.” and
many a woman emphatically declares
that she will abandon this folly and
that. So many fail in their reeolves
that New Year's resolutions have be-
come a subject of jest.
Yet while there may be a humorous
phase of the subject there is certainly
a more serious one than some appear
to believe. It makes no difference
whether it is New Year's eve or any
other eve, there has to come a time
in the lives of all when there is an ac-

So goes the old year forth, as goes
A king with no attending train,
As goes a monarch old, who knows
His further effort is in vain.
In stately sequence they have gone—
The courtier months— and now, alone,
The old year proudly falters on,
The new year comes to claim his throne.
But we that stand as subjects stand
Within the temple of the years
counting with self. It Is only through
such accountings that men and women
find themselves, learn to know them-
selves and, knowing, become what
they should be.
Itev. Dr. Talmage used to tell the
story of a young man who annually de-
voted New Year's eve to a review of
the year ended, concluding with reso-
lutions which he seldom kept for any
great length of time. Lying lazily back
in a comfortable Morris chair, this
young man would smoke a cigar, think
over the year, and make his resolves.
One New Year's eve he thought and
smoked until, half dreaming, he
fancied he saw in the smoke as it
curled upward the word “resolutions."
His fancy led him to serious considera-
tion of how many of his resolutions
had really gone up in smoke. He was
astounded, and made one supreme re-
solve that they should no longer end
in smoke.
Each time he told this story Doctor
Talmage assured his hearers that this
young man was today one of the fore-
most business men of New York city,
a factor in its commercial life and a
powerful agent for good in many direc-
tions. The reverend gentleman made
the point that although resolutions
may be made only to be broken, the
time must come In the life of every
man and woman when they make one
supreme resolve which Is the making
of themselves. Therefore Doctor Tal-
niage always declared that he favored
New Year resolutions even though
they would be broken, because he knew
that in the end they would result in
something really worth while.

New Year's in the Far East.
1, J: in he New Year is welcomed
with mare entrgy than in this
While faints the narrow thread of sand
That in the timeglass now appears—
Should we look out adown the way
Whereon our eager feet would fare.
Or should we gaze at yesterday
And see what is recorded there?
Aye, backward then a moment’s space—
Look backward at the dimming hills
Ere yet old time with gentle grace
With drifting haze the distance fills;
Count now the heights which held the goals
Which had been ours to win and keep,
Save that we in our shrinking souls
Feared that the climb was long and steep.
Now the horizon whence we wend '
Seems but a path all smooth and fair
Where frowning hill and valley blend,
And any load were light to bear.
Could we go back! Ah, might we go
Once more upon the dwindling wayl
The trials would not fret us so—
The trifles, now, of yesterday.
So, in the temple of the years
We gaze back at the fading view—
The composite of laughs and tears—
Then turn to face the roadway new.
The new year comes, as comes a king,
Apparelled in rich stuffs and gold—
Grant that unto it we may bring
The good we garnered from the old.

Forming Resolutions.
New Year invokes shades of the
good resolutions of the past. Ah!
these “what might have beens” are a
source of mental annoyance, llut,
don’t let that deter us from again
forming our good resolutions. Make
them by all means, and having made
them, let's stick to them, and when
1914 comes to make its exit our good
resolutions will not have evolved
themselves into these fatal good in-
tentions.

Unsophisticated Youth Responded to
What He Thought Was Friendli-

Talking over old times the other

lowing story of the days when Colum-
bus had but one telephone company
and the business did not require the
large force of employes It does today.
“When I was in the university here,
a friend from a small town near here
came to see me on a visit. Being ac-
quainted with the mauager of the tele-
phone company, 1 took my friend up to
his office and the manager offered to
Bhow us about the exchange. There
were about half a dozen girls operat-
ing the switchboard in those days, but
the plant was a thing of awe and won-
derment to my small-town friend. As
we passed the girls on duty, it hap-
pened that each had a call from a sub-
scriber In the order in which they sat
and thinking they were saying “Hallo”
to him, my friend doffed his hat very
politely to each one and answered
back cordially “How-de-you-do.”—Co-

BAD TETTER ON HANDS
R. F. D. No. 1, Critz, Va—"I had
tetter on my hands so badly that I
could hardly do anything. It would
begin to come in clear white blisters,
then they would burst and peel off all
over and crack and bleed. My hands
were so sore and itched so badly I
could not rest day or night. I could
not put them in water nor do my reg-
ular work.
“I tried medicine and several differ-
ent kinds of cream on them but they
got worse instead of better. Nothing
did me any good until I tried Cuticura
