has given for publication a letter ex
pressing her unbounded gratitude to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for the double
cure of htTself and little daunhter.
Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with
pains In ber heart for over three years
and tor a long time her little girl suf
fered from weak kidneys. The grateful
lady does not seem able to find words
strong enough to express her giatitudo.
She has written the following:
I cannot say too much In praise of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are tho
greatest kidney and heart medicine I
ever used. I bad been troubled for over
three years with a severe pain In my
heart, which entirely disappeared after
I had taken a few doses of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. I also gave them to my
little girl, whose kidneys had been
weak, and she commenced to lmprovo
from the very first dose. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills are certainly a wonderful
medicine. I would be pleased to have
this, my statement, published, a3 I feel
It my duty to let others know Just
what the Pills will do for them.

"Well, well, so this Is New Year's
day," said Mr. Spooner. "Do you re
member how we quarreled this day
one year ago?"
"Remember! I think I do!" cried
his wife. "Why, the cards were order
ed when it happened, and I didn't
know whether I could have your name
taken out and Dick's Inserted, In case
I changed my mind."
"In caso I changed my mini, you
mean, dear. Strange that I never sus
pected how much poor Dora cared for
me until that day."
"I'm sure she had concealed It very
well the way she ran after Dick, as
if he ever had eyes for anybody but
me! He never told his love, but a wo
man's intuition was "
"A synonym of vanity, dear. 01
course, I couldn't help knowing that
she cared for me when I met her in
the boarding hou3e parlor, with her
eyes full of teara, on the very morning
after you had told Marie, her dearest
friend, that we were to be married in
a month."
"Humph, that girl would cry about
anything; I've known her to cry when
the villain in the play was killed as if
a villain could expect anything else In
the last act. But as soon as I saw Dick
that morning I knew that he knew It.
Why, his necktie had slipped around
under one ear and his voice, as he
wished me a happy New Year, was so
sad, that I felt guilty, though my con
science told me that I had not encour
aged him."
"You've forgotten how you used to
praise the shape of his head."
"As if that meant anything! A girl
only praises the shape of a man's head
when she can't find anything else to
flatter him about. It it means no
more than it does when she tells a
small man that he resembles Napoleon.
But when I remembered that you had
once gone down on the floor in your
new trousers to pick up Dora's hand
kerchief I knew that I bad been oruelly
deceived. So when you reproached rne
about Dick, I"

she replied to my New Year's greet

A. Happy Jfetu year.
A nappy iew year! How many
people realize the meaning of the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting upon their lips? "I
wish you a happy New Year!" Does
! 11 not seem that tho wish carries
blessing with it? And I believe It
does when spoken by friends whose
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit of those thoughtlesa
ones who never read between the lines,
let us analyze this significant greeting.
Jr. tho first place wo v.-ish cur friends
happiness, and the next question which
naturally suggests Itself is, what con
stitutes happiness? A little friend of
mine tells me that It is to eat all the
candy he wants and not to so to bed
until he wants to do so. Another
friend of more mature years says that
she would be perfectly happy if she
had all the money she wanted to spend
as she liked. Another desires fame,
another social position. And so we
might go on asking and finding out
that almost every one bas a different
definition for happiness.
If the young lad were allowed to
follow his own sweet will and surfeit
himself with sweets and late hours, I
think the result would be anything but
happy. As for wealth, who can blame
anyone for wishing for all that one
cares to spend, and especially a wom
an to whom a separate Income Is the
exception rather than the rule. It Is
the spending of It which decides the
happiness or unhapplness of the
possessor. I do not believe that any
one was ever really happy who used
wealth merely to gratify selfish am
bitions. Fame, too, Is a good thing to poj
ipss, but how many who have gained
this high pinnarlo will tell you that
It brings happiness Social position is
also something after which thcro is
much striving. Yet when the coveted
place Is reached It Is so often found
to bo barren, and happiness has no
resting place there. Soclnl position
brings heavy responsibilities with It,
and social duties are hard ,and labori
ous without the happy results that
follow labor In more worthy causes.
It seems, then, that there must be
some special way to happiness not
enslly found. There is, but It Is easy
enough to be seen by all who care
to follow Its winding way. Wiser
heads than mine found out long ago
that only In trying to make others
happy Is real happiness ever gained
for oneself.
go in wishing our friends a happy
l;w Year, we really obligate ourselves
to do all that we can to make tha
wish come true; and for this reason
the words rh(A;!a iever be spoken idly,
or used as a Erff matter of form. On
the other haViJ, to be sincere in the
greeting and to do what the words Im-
plv, is certain to bring happiness to
all.
And now, let us go on to the next
word In th analysis, "new."
Everybody likes new things, un
ices an exception may be made to
the so-called "new woman." New
gowns, new bonnets, new personal be
longings of all sorts appeal especially
to women. While "clothes do not make
the person," every one has learned
that appearance in this world goes a
long way toward success. ynder the
inspiration of knowing that one is
well-dressed often one has done his
best and the key note of success has
been touched. It Is human nature
that womankind should love pretty
new dresses, new bonnets and dainty
surrounding, so let no one accuse her
of vanity for desiring them.
New ideas are sought after by the
philosopher; new conditions by the
scientist; new inventions by the in
ventor. Editors eagerly examine new
matter; and that which Is truly origin
al or opens a new field of thought is
never found "unavailable" no matter
how poorly it ma7 be written.
There i3 a constant hunt going on
for something new to further stimu
late the energies, ambitions and de
sires of the world's people; and never
was this craving so apparent an now
when we are closing the nineteenth
century. Everyone seems to feel that
we are on the verge of a new era
which in spite of the inventions ct the
past Is to be the most wonder produc
ing period in the world's progress. If
the inhabitants of Mars continue to
signal us, as has been stated, who
knows but what some shrewd, enter
prising Yankee will put on his think
ing cap, build a flying machine that
will overcome all atmospheric con
ditions and go sailing over to the
planet one of these coming days?
Perhaps the North Polo will be dis
covered in the same way, although
why so many people will risk life and
property to find a spot that is almost
certain to contain nothing that, will
sustain life or hope, can only be laid
to their insatiate greed for something
nev;.
It is to be hoped, however, that
while these greater things are going
on, seme one may invent an automatic
servant that will get up in the morn
ing without being called, never let the
fires go out, wash our best china with
out breaking it, and, from the ve7
nature of the invention, cannot "'alk
back" when we happen to go into the
kitchen and scold a little Household
Realm.

"A Happy New Year to you!" This
is the greeting which will be heard
on every side as we cross the thres
hold of the new year. It has become
a custom to repeat it. In many cases
it has little meaning, and is nothing
more than an empty compliment or an
idle wish. How much do you mean by
It? It Is very easy to repeat the form
ula. It is a very simple matter to buy
a New Year's card and enclose it in
an envelope. But when you send this
greeting, or speak it, do you regard
it as a pledge or promise that you will
do nothing to make the recipient ot
it unhappy, and that you will do all
in your power to relieve his anxieties
and brine gladness to his heart?
