Something to Think About

H
NEW YEAR
GREETING
By WILL M. MAUPIN
#„»
LOOKING BACKWARD
T HE old year is drifting out to the
unseen sen, where In a little while
it will be lost, no more n part of our
Joys and sorrows, nor a portion of our
existence.
Let us take a retrospective view of
the days that have gone, consider how
we have spent them, whether we have
played our part wisely or foolishly, or
whether we have moved ahead or
lagged behind.
As we stand upon the hill-top, or in
the vale, what nre the thoughts that
crowd In upon us? Do they bring us
pleasure or regret; do they cheer the
heart or depress it?
We are disposed at the end of every
twelfth-month to pause a while and
reflect, to make new promises for our
betterment, to seek a new star for our
future guidance and to flatter our
selves that whatever failings we made
in our little journey were due to no
laxity of ours, but to a stroke of Fate!
We refuse to rub our velvety skin
with coarse sand-paper for the very
good reason that It hurts. Nor do we
In looking backward like to rub our
conscience, for that pains, too, and
causes us to wince, when we would

Because —
sit In our easy chair and administer
to our moral self a stupefying dose of
chloroform that we may for the time
being become Insensible to the smarts
and aches, which otherwise might
drive us to repentance.
We lack the courage to stand up and
face the music, or to look truth in the
face, a prevailing form of cowardice
frequently preferred by most of us to
bravery.
Event follows event agreeably or
annoyingly when we awake to the
realization that we have run through
the vicissitudes, mutations and inno
vations of another year, breaking as
we proceeded on our way the laws of
the Medes and Persinns, to say noth
ing of the laws of our own.
Whatever opinion we muy have re
garding our conduct, we hide it with
utmost care beside the skeleton in the
family closet.
Then with a sublime devotion to
dpty, which sometimes lasts two whole
days,, we take a peep backward, swear
solemnly beneath our breath that we’ll
be good, true and faithful, which we
usually are until the next cog slips,
and then away we go again, tripping
along the primrose path, oblivious to
everything but. our selfish content.

T WISH a happy prosp’rous year
To all my good friends, far and
near;
From California 'cross to Maine.
From lakes to gulf, and back again;
From north to so.uth, from east to
west,
I wish for each of you the best
The New Year hns within Its store—
All this I wish for you—and more.
I wish a year of joy and peace;
From sorrow and "rorii pain release;
For friends about on every side,
And Love’s door ever opened wide;
Hope’s full fruition day by dny,
And sunshine all nlong your way,
And harbor safe when tempests roar—
All this I wish for you—and more.
For you I wish, instead of gold,
That you may gracefully grow old;
That each day’s slowly setting sun
Will see some duty nobly done.
I wish that home "es stronger grow,
That for you flowers bloom and blow,
That God’s rich blessings on you
pour—
All this I wish for you—and more.
The best that’s old, the best that’s
new—
All. nil of these, I wish for you.

FOX BROTHERS’ TRICK
TT WAS a long way around the pond
A and a long way across, so which
ever way lie went it meant a long walk
for Mr. Fox, and he was in a hurry to
get to the farm on the hill on the
other side- of the pond.
“If I could only slide across,”
thought he, “and I could, for I have
an old sled. If only I had some one
to push me and give me a good start.
Coming home I could take my time.”
The more he thought the better It

You are so easy to see through?
If you are, you have been up
against it a lot, because when
you are easy to see through
your very honesty and kindness
are often taken the wrong way
and your frankness is often as
“acting” and people think you
are queer! You need comfort.
Keep on being easy to under
stand ; it means pretty much
your mind is clear, that you
think straight, that your heart
is in the right place. You will
waste less time, too, as It is
hard to be something you aren’t.
SO
Your Get-away here is:
Let them “see through you"
and don’t worry, and if they
laugh be glad you can be amus

JOHN BLAKE
LEARN HOW TO FORGET
i "DE ASSURED that you will some-
! times be wronged; often bated,
f Unless you have far more luck than
i most men, others will injure you, and
; iflespitefully use you.
j The more successful you are, the
j more you will suffer from the dislike
; and the envy of others,
j But if you resent every injury and
f-nurse every spite, you will have little
time for anything else.
", Revenge may be sweet, but It is
.too expensive to be indulged.
The man who makes up his mind to
"get even” with every one who lias
harmed or insulted him maps out a
difficult life for himself.
Hatred is a passion which destroys
the judgment as well as the soul. And
Judgment is too difficult to acquire to
be frittered away in fruitless brawls.
Learn to forget injuries and griev
ances. They will harm you but little
if you dismiss them from your mind.
If you cherish their memory and brood
over them they will harm you even
more than the enemy who inflicted
them ever believed It possible to harm
you.
Give men no reason to injure you.
Then, if they Insist upon doing so, de
prive them of any satisfaction in the
injury by not allowing It to trouble
you.
Peace of mind and serenity of spirit
are worth a great deal in this world.
Go about with a chip on your
shoulder and before very long some
one will knock it off. And your at
tention will lie distracted from what
ever you are doing by your effort to
punish him for It.
But when you are wantonly Insulted,
or when your feelings are hurt re
member that the person who offers
the affront is not worth hating. Do
not flatter him by nursing your wrath
against him.
Irritations disturb the smooth work
ing of your brain and cut into your
sleep. Forget them and you will be
happier and better able to attend to
your own job, which Is getting all out
of your brain that was put there by its
Creator.

Mr. Fox
Had Met the
Brothers.
Little Fox
seemed to him, and so Mr. Fox trot
ted off to Mr. Coon’s house to ask
him to push the sled.
If Mr. Fox had not been unkind to
little Reddy Fox and his brother Rey
he would very likely have had a long
slide across the pond and arrived
early at the farm.
But Mr. Fox had met the little Fox
brothers one morning very early when
they had been out hunting and taken
from them a fat chicken which they
were carrying home for breakfast,
which was very wrong as well as un
kind, because the strong should never
take advantage of the weak.
The little brother Foxes did not for
get this, and when Mr. Fox called on
Mr. Coon to ask his help the little
Fox brothers happened to be passing
and heard what he said.
All the way home they were think
ing what they could do to plague Mr.
Fox and spoil his trip across the pond
that night, and before it was time for
Mr. Coon to be at the pine tree by the
pond the Fox brothers had thought
of a plan to pay Mr. Fox for taking
their chicken.
It was not a moonlight night, and
so when Mr. Fox and Mr. Coon met
they did not see af y one behind the
tall bushes and. rock | by the fir tree.
Mr.^Fox was le Jilng against the
rock, with his back to the bushes, and
wuen lie i'elt something on iiis back
he looked around quickly,- but the
wind was blowing, swaying the bushes
and he thought that was what he felt,
but it wasn’t; It was something far
different.
“Now, you understand, you are to
place your paws against my back as 1
sit on the sled,” said Mr. Fox to Mr.
Coon; “push hurd, and away I will go
across the frozen pond, and when 1
come back I will give you a good
breakfast to pay you for helping me.”
Mr. Coon said he understood per
fectly, and Mr. Fox took his seat on
the sled. “Now, when I 1 say three,”
said Mr. Fox, “run a step or two with
your paws pushing on my back. One,
two, three!"
But instead of skimming across the
pond on the sled, the sled went skim
ming, and Mr. Fox sat on the ground,
with Mr. Coon flat on his stomach be
hind him, his paws still fast to Mr.
Fox’s back.
“What do you mean by pulling me
off that sled?” asked ML Fox, very
angry. “Let got of me! You are pull
ing me over.”
Mr. Coon tried to get up, but every
time he moved he pulled Mr. Fox
over backward, and soon they were
scrambling and kicking like two
jumpingjacks, while the- little Fox
brothers, with a paw over their
mouths, ran as fast as they could un
til they were out of the hearing of
Mr. Fox and Mr. Coon. Then they
rolled over, laughing, on the ground
at the funny sight they had left by
the pond.

“My stomach was always out of fix

“Since taking Tanlac my digestion

I eat just anything I want. In fact,
my stomach acts and feels just like a

I am Just the same as a new man.
It’s a pleasure for me to tell my
friends about Tanlac.”

N‘
TIME
MATTER what the wise
man says,
Time does not pass at all,
But ever right beside us stays
All ready for our call,
Our clocks may run, and age count
up
To, many and many a year,
But Time stands by with brimming
cup,
Still, calm and ever near.
At any hour of day or night.
In lowly place or high,
In days of trouble or delight,
He’s always standing by
With lavish gifts of minutes fair
Ready for us to use,
To waste or treat with proper care
According as we choose.

ALICE
A LICE, curiously enough, is a
man’s name, not a woman’s.
Originally It was given to the sons
of the family, and Is, without doubt,
derived from the Anglo-Saxon Adel-
gis, of which the feminine form was
Adelgisa. It means noble, in both
its masculine and feminine forms.
It is clear that Alice represents
Adelgls and not Adelgisa, and that
the proper feminine form would be
Aliza. Some believe that Eliza, gen
erally thought to be a derivative of
Elizabeth, Is this missing form. For
proof of Aliza as the representative
of Adelgiza, the Liber Vitae of Dur
ham records the changes In Adelgiza
from the first noble lady of that name
who laid her gifts upon the altar. By
contraction it became by steps Ade-
liza, Aaliza, and Aliza.
Aallza is still given to daughters
of noble families In Europe. Adaliz.
Adliz and finally Alis, are other con
tractions. Alicia is a derivation
which represents an effort at euphony
lacking in Alisa, but Alison is not so
derived ns is popularly supposed, but
has a completely different origin.
Alioe is purely English with a slight
Teutonic flavor, since another ex
planation of its origin is that the
name is derived from the feminine
Adalbert or Adelchen, signifying
“daughter” in Frankland. Alix or
Alisa in Lombardy was naturalized In
England when Alix la Belle married
Henry I.
Alexandrite is the talismanlc stone of
Alice. It is found in the emerald
mines of Russia and its splendid
green, which changes pulsatingly to
columbine red, makes it representa
tive of the Russian national colors
and therefore honored as a national
stone. The Russians believe that It
brings great fortune. It denotes hope
and, when dreamed of, indicates much
to look forward to. Monday is Alice’s
lucky day and 7 her lucky number.
Her flower Is the white hawthorae,
which means hope.
Alice has been traditionally sur
rounded by all the virtues and sim
plicity which man Is supposed to de
sire In woman. Indeed, the name is
poetically synonomous with “true
blue.” It has been immortalized in
the old song, “Ben Bolt”:
Oh, do you remember Sweet Alice, Ben
Bolt;
Sweet Alice with hair bo brown;
Who thrilled with delight when you gave
her a smile,
And trembled with fear at your
frown ?

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
WHEN YOU CORRECT
It is much easier to be critical than to
be correct.—Benjamin Disraoll.
^OCCASIONALLY, no doubt, perfect-
ly well-bred husbands and wives
do quarrel, If they are incompatible,
but they do not quarrel in public.
Neither does a well-bred woman “call
dow'n” her children before outsiders,
or correct a servant any more than is
necessary. If you have a complaint
to make in a store or shop, do not
make it in a conspicuous Way.
The wise manager of employees does
not berate them before outsiders.
Sometimes, of course, the inconsider
ate manager will seek to lay the blame
for something for which his store man
agement is to blame on a subordinate.
He may help himself for the time be
ing out of an embarrassing situation,
but lie is surely laying up trouble for
himself later on.
Some young women really enjoy
having little quarrels with the young
men who are courting them, and some
times they are Ill-bred enough to in
dulge In such moods in an ostentatious
way In public places. Thus the young
woman who is annoyed, or who pre
tends to be annoyed, puts her escort
to great embarrassment by refusing to
speak to him in a public conveyance.
Or slie may wait until they are in their
seats at the theater am} then mar her
own and her escort’s enjoyment of the
play by indulging in her quarrelsome
mood. She may actually enjoy the
embarrassment that he endures. Or
she may wait until they are with their
friends at a dance and then refuse to
dance with him just for the satisfac
tion of having others see how miser
able she can make the poor man in
question. There are girls who do this
sort of tiling, but they are truly not
well bred. The really well-bred wom
an, if she must quarrel with the man
who is devoted to lier, waits until they
are alone.

THE FUTURE
T EARN to stand on your own feet
A few make headway by depend
ing on others, but the majority must
hoe their own path. Unless one, there
fore, lias confidence in himself and is
able to cause others to trust and be
lieve in him as he deserves, he is not
likely to make much headway and his
pathway will in all probability, be
hedged with thorny briars. Day after
day, as he plods onward toward his
uncertain goal, Ills life is likely to be
disturbed and his happiness destroyed
by the thorn pricks every time he halts
to reflect on the best way to gain his
desires.
In the social world introductions are
necessary. Those who push themselves
iyto the midst of a formnl party unan
nounced could expect nothing else but
icy stares and an unpleasant depar
ture through a rear door. But in the
world of business, industry and finance
introductions are not essential to suc
cess. Those who bemoan their mis-
fortunes in not being able to have
some one, of high standing help shove
them ahead are themselves their own
worst handicaps.
A vice president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, still actively
managing a big manufacturing busi
ness, though he is up in the eighties,
recently declared that he didn’t con
sider introductions of much value to
those seeking business or Industrial
success. He tells a story to illustrate
his reason for confidence that big men
trust others just as quickly without in
troductions as with them, providing
those seeking recognition believe In
themselves and have the proper sort
of personality. He declared that when
banks in his own city were too small
to extend to his business sufficient
credit, he went to New York, without
introduction and, by stating his situa
tion frankly, obtained the line of credit
he required for his shops.
Greater frankness would lessen busi
ness worries today.
