NY weakling can made resolutions.
It needs a strong man to keep
them. That Is perhaps why New
Year resolutions mo so often
futile. Tho strong do not wait for
high days and holy days to amend
tliolr conduct or carry out their ro-solves.-They
obey Goethe's dictum:
"Seize this very minute,
lioldncss hat genius, power and
made In It."
And so It happens that tho largo army of peo
plo who wait for tho Now Year before effecting
a reformation In their llveb are seldom success
ful In carrying out their Intentions. They nro
not possessed of tho spirit of energy am. resolu
tion necessary to achievement. It may bo
argued that It Ih better to mako good resolutions,
oven though they nro not carried out, thnn not
to make them at all Thlr Is open to question,
however. UnlcsB ono Is absolutely determined
to do what one has don red, It Is perhaps on tho
wholo bettor not to make promises to oneself.
Unfulfilled resolves continually repented, tend to
weaken tho character, and to reduce one's faith
in oneself, Just as resolutions put Into practlco
are conduclvo to strength and self-confidence.
Very llttlo tends to ovorbalanco tho resolutions
of tho average person. In fact, many peoplo wel
como any uxcuse to exonerato them from tho
carrying out of their resolves. Ono Individual
determines, Itt ub say, never to lose bis temper.
Ho comes down on Now Year's morning with n
set smllo on hit. face. Alas! It Is short-lived.
Tho wholo world scomB In conspiracy to drag
him back to his former frame of mind. Tho cof
feo Is cold, tho letters which look so alluring
provo to bo chiefly bills and begging epistles, ha
falls over the doorstep as ho leaves tho house.
AH these minor annoyances, which, If rightly
mot, would have helped him to conquer his weak
ness, servo but to throw him back Into his
original state, and boforo evening ho is as bad

SOMEWHAT HARD TO FOLLOW
Sturdy Veteran's Reclpo for Long Life
All Rlnltt, but for Certain
Strong Consideration!.
Ooorgo Mcllrnn, n Jnmnlra negro,
floventy-flvo years old, u nailer for 01
yoara ami still an nctlvo and able sea
man, veteran of a thousand utorniH and
n score of shipwrecks, haH been telling
tho Philadelphia Public Ledger how to
avoid Illness and attain old ago with
out losing an ounce of the strength of
youth. Hero Is Oconto's recipe:
"ICat an much an you like, whenever
you desire.
"Kat whatever you llko,
"Hleep whenever you foci sloepy.
No particular hours aro necessary.
'Must live llko you want lo."
There Is no doubt Hint (Joorgo baa
tho right Idea. Youth at least until
Implncabln ngo bait broken It of its
doolie- believes In rntlng an niiii'h nH
It likes, whenever It likes, and In
slooplng when It feels sleepy. Hut by
the time one Is inoro or less able to
"Just llvo llko ho wantH to" a lifetime
of training In tbn opposite direction
holds up Inhibitory hands and lolm
his liberty of Its savor.
(leoigo Is an example but he por
haps owes inoro than ho realizes to
tho belaying pin and tho rope's end,
both of which ulds to good habits were
in their prime when his habits weio
forming. Knickerbocker ProsH.

Or, tuiio another very general Now Year's
resolution, that of getting up at a certain tlmo
In tho morning. When tho day dawns, any rea
Bon whatover is grasped nt to ovado this. Tho
weather Is too cold, tho alarm was not loud enough,
ho is suro his watch Is fast, ho doesn't really
fool well enough to risk getting up cnrllcr than
usual, and, after all, ho aaks himself, Is thero
any real reason why ho should? A thousand-and-ono
excuses tho avcrago individual will mako to
himself rather than perform what ho hab designed
to do. Tho world is full of wobblers of this kind,
and the moro they wobblo tho weaker thoy bo
como. Another reason perhaps why tho average resolution-makers
so seldom achluvo their purpose is
that they attompt too much. They mnko two,
threo, sometimes six resolutions nt onco, whereas
to carry through ono resolution successfully Is
qulto an admlrablo feat.
As Thomas a Kempls sayB:
THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION
f
E MAUPASSANT, describing an officer, said that Just to look nt him made ono feel martial.
Ho did not say warlike or belllcoso; tho idea he wished to convey waB much raoro subtle.
In the presence of this officer ono assumed tho military attitude of mind and body.
This is a phenomenon that escapes the attention of most peoplo women, however, ob
serve It. Practically every nonmllltary man at tho Bight of a well act up, fully accoutred
soldier Instinctively assumes something or a military bearing. And when tho drums roll
and b marching column of soldiers flashes Into vlow tho civilian Involuntarily throws back
nis Bnouiaers ana steps out wim a tonss, measured tread.
And as with civilians, bo with soldiers. The ordinary regiment becomes more military in tho pres
ence of tho crack regiment. Tho crack regiment Itself gains something moro when In proximity to a
detachment of troopB of heroic, almost legendary, fame, such as tho Foreign Legion.
The Legionaries handle campaigns of their own, and probnbly no body of troops has over done such
constant and arduous campaigning. But France over and over again has used them also as leaven
among other troops. Thoy stiffen tho mass, and man emulate their actions.
Tho Legion was sent out to tho Crimea and got n6 special credit for covering itself with glory, as
that had been expected of it, but did reflect great credit on tho Judgment or those who had sent it out
to help to inspire a wholo army.
Too queen of Spain 80 years ago was In a hard fix with a civil war on her hands. xTho Carllsts,
whom she was fighting, wero Just as good soldiers as her own, If not a shado better. Then tho Queen's
generals had an inspiration of genius. If they could only get tho French Foreign Legion into their
army thoy felt tho shade of advantage would movo over to their sldo. So tho queen bought tho Foreign
Legion from tho then king of Franco, and for (our years tho Legion belonged to Spain.
In the present war, part of tho Fronch Legion ran been sent to tho trenches of Franco and Flandors
and Alsaco and to the Dardanelles. Part of it remains in Africa, Its normal habltrt, doing somo mighty
vigorous campaigning in tho Moroccan part of Franco's wonderful now Afrlcnn empire.
Tho Americans and otlur foreigners who are enrolled as volunteers In the French army aro put in
contact with tho Legionaries, and this, while giving them scopo for their fighting qualities and assuring
them an opportunity for genulno campaigning, is the highest measuro or protection for them. It guaran
tees them against foolish rashnoss, as well as against being led Into traps or losing their head in critical
moments.
Fighting Is routine work with tho Legionary. Just as sailing a yacht .is to tho expert mariner. Tho
winds may bo different on each trip and the craft Is never handled twico in tho same way, but tho ex
port knowledge of tho technique of his trado makcB tho Legionary and tho skipper each acquit himself
of his task In finished fashion.
Officially tho Foreign Legion Is composed of oight thousand men. In reality It Is understood It has
nearly double that number, and tho Legion becomo3 readily a wholo army corps, with tho addition of
Bomo of Franco'B colonial troops.
Franco for hundreds of years had regiments of German, English, Irish, Scotch, Swiss, Italians and
other foreigners enrolled in her armies, but the present Foreign Legion may bo considered as dating
from 1831. Ono brief rule In Its constitution says that tho enlisting colonel may accept a man oven
though he doen not present a birth certificate or identification papers. Whereforo tho names of tho
English and American Legionaries have been Smith, Urown and Jones; of Germans Mullor, Schwartz
and Weiss; of tho Italians, Rossi and Groasl; of tin Fronch, Petolt, Legrnnd nni. Loclarc, and so on.
The recruiting ofllcer reads tho candidate a warning lectuo. "Don't you know what tho Legion Is,
monsieur? Surely thero Is something better you can do. Sovero campaigning In Africa or In China for
a sou a day, or a few sous as you begin to advanco, Ib no bed of rosoa. You had hotter think It over
a day or two. No? You already are awaro? Very well, mon chor enfant," and his tone changes ns
ho now speaks ns n colonel to his soldier: "Thero la a glorious career down thero for tho right kind. If
you arc a good and faithful soldier you may go far. Good luck!"
The recruiting colonel can generally toll at a g'anco what army tho candidate has served In and
If ho has been a sergeant or an olilcor. In the latter caso ho Is discreetly questioned on tho point, and
It Is suggested, for his own benefit, that ho confidentially Inform his colonel when he arrives at tho
training quarters In
Ono who has been an otllcer In a European army Is usually taken Into the
"'if every year wo could root out ono vice wo
would sooner become perfect men." Impatience
Is nt tho root of many defeats. It is customary
nowadays to sneer nt tho vlrtuo for which tho
name or Job Is synonymoub, but thoso who Bay
that patlonco Is tho vlrtuo of an ass or a beggar's
virtue aro not so wiso as tho Spanish proverb
maker, who said:
"Patience! and Bhufllo tho cards." Moat peoplo
shufllo tho cards eagorly -nough, but tho patlonco
Is lacking. Socking to grasp the stars at a bound
they rail back to the earth.
And so. If peoplo nt .he commencement or a
Now Year adjusted their desires in accordance
with their abilities, and instead or sighing for tho
unattainable mado tho cry moBt of tho oppor
tunities vouchsafed to them, ono would hear leBB
or broken resolutions and wasted lives.
"Do Jtlio duty which lies nearest to theo which
thou knowest to bo a duty,' said Carlylo. "Thy
second duty will already havo become clearor."
The Turning of New Leaves.
Good resolutions havo almost gone out of fash
ion. On tho last night of tho ycur wo no longer
sit down to review our past lives and rcBolve to
bo "better nnd wiser" thnn wo have been in tho
pnst. "It Is of no uso making resolutions, I nover
can keep them," Is tho plea that is usually prof
fered. This Is a mistake, however. It Is com
mendablo to resolve (an alurm clock helping one)
to get up half an hour earllor than usual in the
morning, even though It results as, alas! It too
often docs In ono getting up half an hour later.
It is what one aspires to bo that counts.
ir peoplo could live moro in tho presont it
would help them enormously In tho keeping of
good resolutions. So many peoplo persist In be
ing Just a llttlo ahead all the tlmo.
"Tomorrow," thoy say, "wo will reform," but
the tomorrow of their imaginings never dawns.
Ancient and modern philosophers havo agreed
as to tho dangers of procrastination. Such wldo
ly diverse peoplo as Horaco, tho Latin poet who
flourished In C5 D. C and pushrul persons who
flourish (exceedingly) at tho present day, Join
Issue In thin particular.
"Who begins, possesses half tho deed," says
Horaco.
"Dare to he wiso; mako a commencement."
"Do It now." is tho curt command or tho mod
ern apostle of "Hustle." Again, Horaco says, "If
you aro ignorant how to llvo aright, glvo place
to thoso who havo learn id tho lesson."
"Get on or got out." says a manlklu, following
In moro concentrated, If 'oss courteous language
tho Bamo lino of thought on a somewhat lowor
piano. The ono wns concerned with tho things
or tho soul and tho spirit; tho other with worldly
advancement. Thero aro somo who contend that
tho two cannot go together, but ir (as has boon
contended by many men or wisdom) what a man
is is or moro Importance than what ho has, It Is
well to make spiritual advancement as tho years
go by. ir wo havo not mndo progress, wo havo
