George Ade, with the gentle cynl ■«fem of the confirmed bachelor, was talking In New York about New Year rneolutlons. “Every wife,” he said, "loves to see her husband turn over for her sake -a* new leaf—in his check-book.” Dissatisfaction. i “So you were given an Interest In employer's business?" | “Ye*.” replied the industrious youth; *%i*t i made a mistake In accepting It.

Too Much Reclining. “How was .It that Gamps failed In his bed-manufacturing business?” "He got too much in sympathy with the business.” “How could he do that?" “He'lay down on the Job.” The Boy—The Girt. He—Crime seems In a pretty low way. Only last week some woman kidnaped a baby—photographs of it in all the newspapers. She—What did she take it for? He—Nothing else to take, I suppose. 1 should have thought myself that any body who kidnaped a baby would steal an earthquake or borrow an attack of Asiatic cholera. She—Babies are not so bad as all that. The only thing I have really got against them is that if you leave them long enough they grow up Into human beings. Had to Put In Human Interest. An old negro preacher, says the At lanta Constitution, gave as his text: “De tree is known by its fruit, an’ it’s des impossible to shake de possum down.’’ After the benediction an old brother said to him: “I never knowed befo’ dat slch a text wuz in de Bible." “Well," admitted the preacher, "it ain’t set down dat way. I throwed In de possum to hit de intelligence of my congregatloh!” No Doubt About It. And every good husband, no doubt. Is sure that he is married to one of the world’s twenty greatest women. A Hold-Up ' , I . - An Oppressive Trust. ./* d^ Before the Coffee Roasters’ Association, in ses eion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb, " * of Chicago, charged that there is in existence a , coffee combine which is “the most'monstrous Ira- . I position in the history of human commerce.” y. 1 There is very slight exaggeration about this yn nJc/Q statement. It comes very close to being literally true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from which country comes the bulk of the coffee used ^—*** * in the United States, which is backed by the gov- __ eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which com-— 1 pels American conaumers, as Mr. Webb said, “to pay famine prices for coffee when no famine exists.” The worst thing about this is that the consum ers of the United States have been compelled to put up tho money through which this combine, to further cinch them, has been made effective. There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon ■nil coffee entering the United States. Those taxes were denounced as at) imposition upon the people; as taxing the poor man’s breakfast table, and the \ like. The taxes were removed. Immediately I thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upogL I coffee up to the full amount of the former customs .taxes in this country. The revenue which for merly went into the treasury of the United States was diverted to tho treasury of Brazil. The poor man’s breakfast coffee continued to cost him the . same old price. But this was only the commencement. The ’“valorization” plan was evolved in Brazil. Through this plan the government, using the rev- _ enues derived from the export duties for the pur- .

Or yet, at home, where all about are hints That Youth Is here—the telltale finger prints, The toys mislaid and scattered to and fro —Do we find the chllhearts there? O no, no!

The man who starts out on New Year's day with the feeling that the cards are Btacked against him. that he Is the under dog In the tight, that he “can’t do nothing nohow,” will not get very far ahead; while the man who opens his mouth wide, expecting much—and working as if he ex pected it—is likely to have it reasonably well filled; not always, but generally. For there are times when, no matter how great the faith nor how hard the work, things will go against us; for example, extreme drougth, hail storms, epidemics among iive stock, great slumps in prices, sickness which could not be prevented. Still, in a broad way, it is true that the man who is a hard-working optimist gets his fair and just reward, while the man who is expecting little, and works accord ing to his expectations, will say, and with good reason: “Just my luck.” There Is sound philosophy underlying this. The man who has no faith in God, or if this wotd may be misunderstood, in nature, ©r in the benevolent intentions of whatever Power he believes rules in this world, and is not willing to yield obedience to what we call “natural law,’’ on which all good farming depends, is not likely to think very clearly or work very hard. The man who has no faith in himself, who regards himself—to use an old-fashioned phrase common In our boyhood—as “a bound boy at a husking," this man is not likely to use the ability, either mental or physical, which is his heritage. The year 1912 is not likely to be a bed of roses for many of us; and if there be roses, there wdll be thorns among them. It will have its trials and difflcultiep, just like all other years since the world be gan; but if we face these problems with a stout heart and a cool head and strong hands, their solution will be much easier. If, on the other hand, we have no faith In the established order of nature, cruel stepmother as she often seems to be; if we have no faith in the God behind na ture. and little faith in ourselves; we are not very likely to have a happy Thanks giving in 1912. Some men will rucceed this year; others. In exactly the same, or. it may be, more fortunate circumstances, will fail; and the explanation will generally lie in the per sonal quality, and the success will be to a large degree measured by his faith. Who was it that said: “The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves?” The world is not a hammock in which we can swing lazily under fair skies, l’anr.ed by gentle breezes. It is so ordered that If we are to get anything, we must expect to get it. To use an old-fashioned western phrase: We must “get up and dust,” and “not let the grass grow under our feet.” We are quite likely to get in 1912 just about what we expect and will really try to earn. EXPECTING TOO MUCH. Magistrate—If your parents were poor but honest, as you say, how do you ac count for your presence here? Predatory Pete—I inherited only de poverty. Clerical Humor. From the Quiver. A local preacher who occasionally got his metaphors mixed was preaching on self-righteousness and ended his dis course by saying: “Let us remember that, after all. our righteousness is but filthy rags hanging on the branches of barren fig trees.” On another occasion he was preaching on besetting sins, and when comparing these to obstacles in our path exclaimed: “Let us beware of these stones by the wayside, lest they turn I again and read us." I The at one time well known preacher among the Wesleyans, Peter Mackenzie, In reading the third chapter of Daniel in variably abbreviated the fifth verse, wherein are enumerated the instruments of the Babylonian band, most of them with hard names, to the “cornet,” etc., and when the names were repeated in verses 10 and 15 said: “The band as be fore.” He was a lay preacher of the old order who was admitted on to full plan without having read the prescribed “Wes ley’s Sermons,” etc. He boasted of his lack of "book learning,” and scornfully told a student of the new school who was learning I^itin that “English was good enough for Paul; ain’t it good enough for you?” Deep Grained Americanism.

REACHED LIMIT OF TORTURE Real Reason Why Burglar Gave Even ing Papers Chance to Use Effec tive Headline. A burglar broke into a New York mansion early the other morning and found himself after wandering about the place in the music room. Hearing footsteps approaching, he took refuge behind a screen. From eight to nine the eldest daughter had a singing les son. From nine to ten the second daughter took a piano lesson. From 10 to 11 the eldest son got his Instruc tion on the violin. From 11 to 12 the younger boy got a lesson on the flute and piccolo. Then, at 12:15, the fam ily got together and practiced music on all their instruments. They were fixing up for a concert. At 12:45 the porchclimber staggered from behind the screen. "For heaven’s sake, send for the police!” he shrieked. ‘Tor ture me no longer!” And in the even ing paper there was the headline: “Nervy Children Capture Desperate Burglar.” Saw No Difference. “People who seek books from the fiction section make some, funny breaks,” says a librarian of thev Libra ry of Congress. "I have made note of a number of these, but none of them amused me more than the request of a sour-looking spinster. “She sternly demanded of me a copy of ‘The Recollections of a Liar.’ I told her that I didn’t know it, but that 1 could give her ‘The Recollections of a Married Man.’ " ‘That will do,' said she aeidly. “It's practically the same thing.’”—Lippin cott’s.

"I have a poem here entitled 'Alone with Nature,’ ” said the sallow young man with the long hair and the frayed trousers. "It Is a personal impres sion.” “Is It?” replied the editor of the Chicago Record-Herald, as he hastily glanced at the opening lines. “Have you ever been alone with nature?” “I have, and, oh, it is glorious—glo rious ! ” “Here’s a dime. Get on a trolley car and ride as far as you can. Go back to nature and spend another hour! or two alone with her. You say you plucked the hazel blossoms by the stream.
