The coming year will have 365 days

called "To-day." That is all you will

its own nrogress to be made heaven

yet stron- enough to carry to-day's
duties with to-morrow's worries piled
on the top of then
views, and never try

"3Iy times are m thy hands." and they
could not be in better hands. Our
times are in our all-wise and all-loving
Father s hands, both for control
and for concealment. He takes care
Gf us. and yet we can not tell ;ust
what to-morrow or the next year will
bring forth.
Facing tne N;w Year.
A new year is upon us. with new
duties, new ccmiicts. new trmis. and
new opportunities. Start on the jour

YEAR AND 11 NEW
GREAT DAY FR THE ROMANS!
Right Beginning of New Year Meant
for Them Success.
No nation has ascribed so much
importance to the beginning of
things as the Roman. To that people
there was a magical connection be
tween a right beginning and success.
To them New Year's day was the day
of days. It was the anniversary of
the founding of the city of Rome,
which they considered the greatest
event in the world's history. They
called the first month of the year
January in honor of Janus, the god
of doors and beginnings. (The world
still uses a heathen calendar.) At
dawn of the new year the people,
robed in white, sacrificed elaborate of
ferings to their gods, especially to
Janus. Fraternal greetings, benevo
lent gifts and exchangee of costly
presents marked the day. All evil
speaking, quarrels or excesses were
for one day laid aside and the ideals
for a nobler future were brought to
mind by parables enacted in public
places. The soldiers renewed their
vows of loyalty to Caesar and put an
new uniforms.
The Animals' Season Greetings.
The action and voices of domestic
animals on New Tear's day are said
to be more significant than any other
omens.
A dog's cheerful bark in the morn
ing is a most auspicious sign, while
his howl is very unfavorable.
To meet the cat on the morn of the
New Year is considered by people in
the Latin countries as a sign that
they will change their residence, and
it also betokens ill for the future.
Throughout southern Europe it Is
regarded as a most fortunate sign to
see a Ig, signifying plenty fcr the
coming twelve months.
is to sweep onward with such mighty
strides as have never before been con
jured in the magic of earthly dreams.
As to the Old Year, it is dead and
gone and let it pass without regret.
If it has brought us blessings, we can
be grateful, to be sure; and if it was
not good to us in every way, why, let
it pass and sleep forgotten. The
thing to think cf is the present and
the future. If we have had losses, let
us now recoup them. If we have had
heartaches. let us soothe them with
the balm of good cheer and courage.
Above alL let us remember that with
the passing of the Old Year there is
one year the less for us to live, and so
the greater behooves us to make the
best of those that are to come.
"So Life's year begms and closes;
Days thougn shortening still m- shine;
What though youth gave love and rosea.
Age still leaves us- friends and wine."

Willingly Pay Money far Removal of
"Beauty Spots."
Feaiale scoffers who deny that men
have been, blessed by nature with, so
seductive a charm as a dimple will
change their tune ,when they hear
what the beauty doctor has to say on.
the subject.
"Dimples are jusr as common
among- men as among women," says
that apostle of the good advantage.
Beard and mustache combine to hide
their charm. Anyhow, men are not
proud of dimples. They consider them
a sign of effeminacy. Now that
smooth faces are the fashion, the man
with a dimple in cheek or chin is hard
put to it to hide that beauty mark.
In his extremity he seeks relief from
me.
" Treat can I do with these devilish
dimples? says he.
"'Take 'em out, I advise.
'Can you do it? he asks.
''Sure, say3 L
" 'All right, says he; go ahead.
"Then I begin treatment. In the
past year I have removed sets of dim
ples from men's faces that any woman
of their acquaintance would! have
paid $100 for. All men with money '
to spend patronize the beauty doctor
more shamelessly than they used to; '
out of all the miracles they wish
performed there is none they insist I
upon so stoutly as the removal of j
dimples."

Austrian Emperor Finds Rest in So- '
ciety of Grandchildren. t
Although Francis Joseph of An- '
tria is a central ngure in the most ex
clusive of European courts his din
ners are quite informal in tone except
on rare state occasions. Usually his
majesty converses in the liveliest man
ner with his guests. In the smoking
room, to which he almost invariably
accompanies the men, he joins in the
general chat, laughs at the jokes and '
shows marked preference for the
frankest replies to his questions, since
the tragic death of his son and wife ,
the emperor leads a solitary life for a .
greater portion of the year. In sum- "
mer. however, he makes his way to his
lovely villa at Ischl. in the beautiful
Salzkammergut and here is surround-
ed by his daughters and their children.
It is then that pathetic old man is hap
piest, playing grandfather" with the
babies, taking walks with them and
forgetting for a brief season the trials
and sufferings, misfortunes and dis
appointments which life has brought
him.
Eaccage in Guatemala.
"The railroads of the United States
are very particular as to what they
will accept for transportation as bag
gage." remarked Karl E. Kneiss. -bur
down in Guatemala the railroads are
not so particular.
'While I was down there some
time ago I made a list of different
articles of merchandise that 1 saw
checked as basgase on the Western
Guatemala at the town of Retalhuleu.
Here it is: One cage of chickens, a '
basket of ducks, a bundle of dried nsh
a crate of live iguanas, various empty
baskets, a crate of fghting cocks,
baskets of eggs, baskets of fruit, sil
ver in sacks, a bundle of sailed clothes

Blue Dcgs With Pink Tails.
"I will never forget my first experi
ence in hospital work." said Chief Sur
geon ilillar of the Central emergency
hospital. "There was a green nurse
in the detention ward and we had a
very violent case in there a man in
the worst stage of delirium tremens.
I was awakened in the middle of tne
night by the head nurse, who request
ed me to come at once to the patient.
When I got there I found him raving
and very violent, with the new nurse
scared out of her wits. I said:
" 'Why did you let him go so far.
I left you some medicine to give
him as scon as he got delirious.
" 'Yes. doctor,' she replied : 'but ycu
told me to give that to him if he saw
any more snakes, and this time he was
seeing blue dogs with pink tails. "
