Tcmpuj is fugifing. It ha the habit.
We sprint forever after day to come
As swiftly as the nimble jackass
rabbit.
We dream each year will bring us For
tune's plum
And through the Future stretch our
hands to grab it,
Only to find, in spite of our endeavor,
Next year it is as far away as ever.
TIME deals. Twelve months hve
gone to the discard
Since last we had to pen our New
Year's greeting.
And now the date returns and hits us
hard
With melancholy duties of repeating.
The form with fresh remarks wc inter
lard. Like "Turn a new page here," and
"Life is fleeting."
The same we've said, with lame at
tempts to vary.
Each year1 and will again next January.
WITH high resolves today our
hearts are warm.
This is the happy season that we
swear off.
We are protected from Temptation's
storm.

ONE WHY TO

ovcrlndulgont husband or n too
easy going fnthcr. Ills vows
and resolutions nro nlnrmlng when
they nro mndo, but nro of short dura
tion usually nnd should not be taken
seriously by his family.
The woman who resolves to keep
track of the household expenses and
tho girl who swears to keep n Journal
arc hopeless. If they carry out their
threats, nnd to the very bitter cud,
they become unbearably complacent.
If they fall It pnlns one to think how
weak of will they are. You sec, thcro
Is absolutely no way to please one's
friends In this New Year's busluess.
Tho only way to make a New Year's
resolution with any hope of keeping it
and your natural and amiable bearing
toward the world Is to adapt .1. M.
Barrio's recipe for enjoying a day In
bed. The fun of staying nil day in
bed, says thnt canny Scot, is to begin
by saying. "I will get up in fifteen
minutes," When the fifteen minute-
"i suKinl"
arc up you continue to nap or lounge.
But you rau3t not say: "I'll stay here
all day. How delicious!" You must
say, "Another half hour nnd then I'll
have to get up." But at tho end of
the half hour you still rest among tho
pillows. And so on, tasting your ease
all day long.
And that's the way to make New
Year's resolutions. Say, "I won't buy
bargains or smoke or drink or read
French novels or go to problem plays
this month." Then at tho end of tin?
month renew tho threats, and tho first
thing you know It will bo Dec. 31 and
you will have passed an exemplary
and colorless year And your stock of

NEW YEAR'S EVE IN PARIS.
Stirring Description of the Scenes In
tho Great City's Markets.
After having chanced to spend n
New Year's eve hi nearly every coun
try In Christendom, writes n corre
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch, It
Is my opinion that there Is more be
wilderment to gaze upon mud more
bedlam to hear In and nround the
"hallos" of Parts than can be found
compressed in any other spot on earth.
Tho hallos are the markets of the vast
city, tho center into which pour thou
sands of trains nnd vehicles of every
nort from nil the country round nnd
from which issues tho food supply that
keeps :s,000,000 people from starving.
Even on the most ordinary night of
the year the great Paris market is a
place of entrancing Interest. Victor
llugo describes it in several of his nov
els. Other French nuthors have
chosen It as tho chief scene In their
works. Zola's "The Stomach of Par- j
Is" treats of It, and It figures in no end
of melodramas that have been trans- ,
lnted ' Into every known language.
M reover. It Is so invariably regarded i
as one of the great sights of Paris I
that no foreigner ever comes here j
without devoting a night to tho ex-
plorntlou of the quaint neighborhood, i
What It is on other nights, however. I
is nothing to whnt all that vicinity be- (
comes on icw icars eve. 'mere is
nothing quite like It anywhere else on
the globe Into a space bounded by
tiearly a do?:cn blocks and flaring In a
light that makes It almost ns bright as
day comes a huge proportion of tho
population, some on business, others
on merriment bound, and all radiating
with noise Bands of Itinerant musi
cians dot tho singing sea here and
thire. fighting for dear life to keep
their feet In the rush, but all the time
screei'hlng out Instrumental discord.
Temporary booths fringe the side
wnlks, behind which aro peddlers of
all sorts shrieking their wares so loud
thnt you might think they were trying
to tempt the Inhabitants of Mars tc
come nnd buy. Every little while you
hear what sounds like the sharp re
port of a pistol shot, but It Is only the
drivers of market wagons notifying
the crowds to look out for the wheels.
Young men and boys go by in bands,
blowing deafetdng horns with an ener
gy thnt mone.v could not buy. Every
human belli; among the thousands
who hasn't a horn at his Hps Is using
thnt favorite of all wenpons for
Frenchmen his mouth In a way that
would make n bellowing elephnnt
blush with envy. And every one is
either Inughlng or doing whnt repre
sents it. for nil Paris Is merry.
Hit Both Ways.
"It ain't no fun boin' a kid," observ
ed a boy bitterly. "You nlways haftor

Making a Major.
John Eaten Cooke, who went Into
the wnr ns an enlisted man In a Rich
iiioud battery, was noon afterward ap
pointed an oiUccr on the Muff of Gen
eral J. E. B. Stuart On Stuart's staff,
Mr. George Cnry Eggluston says In
"Itccollectlons of a Varied Life," ho
distinguished himself by a certain
laughing tionchulnuco under Ore nnd
by his eager readlno.is to undertake
Stuart's most perilous mlsslous.
It wns iu recognition of soma spo
clnlly daring service of that kind thnt
Stuart gave him his promotion. Tho
delightful way lu which the great boy
ish southerner did It is licit told la
Mr. Eggleston's own words.
"You're about my sire, Cooke," Stu
nrt said, "but you're not so broad In
tho chest"
"Yes, I am," nnswered Cooke.
"Let's aco If you arc," said Stuart,
taking off his co.it as if for a boxing
match. "Try that on."
Cooko donned the coat with its thrco
stars on tho collar and found it n fit
"Cut otf two of the stars." Stuart
commanded, "nnd wear tho coat to
Richmond. Tell tho peoplo In the war
depnrtmunt to make you n major nnd
send you back to me In n hurry. I'll
need you tomorrow."
How It Feals to Bo Run Over.
"Whun 1 wan run over," writes a
corresiKindent, "I had not seen the car
approaching. Tho first thing I knew
wns that I was on the ground, kicking
upwnrd with my logs in an effort to
get from under tho car. Then 1 felt a
wheel going over my chest, which
bent as it passed over. In tho Inter
vening second or two I went through
several minutes' worth of feelings, f
had the sensations of nstonishment nt
being on the ground, of wanting to roll
nsldo and away, of bracing myself
and my chest especially stiff to resist
something, whatever it might be. while
n lightning flash of fear was dimly
there nnd a subconscious query, 'What
on earth next?" Yet It was hardly
fear, because there was no time for
such a durable sensation. It wits rath
er a sense of being suddenly confront
ed with a grave reality, of doubtful,
obscurely terrible Import." London
Chronicle.
Teaching the Teacher.
Teacher Johnny, whnt part of speech
is 'nose?" Johnny 'Tisn't uny. Teach
erAh, but it must be. Johnny May
be yours is, bocnuso you talk through
it, but the only part of speech I've
got is my mouth.
Same Old Story.
"Does ho pay his alimony promptly?"
"No. Ho hns to bo urged nnd threat

course, I pot used to thnt when wo

CONCERNING NECKTIES.
Which One May Buy at Prices .High
or Astonishingly Low.
A man can pay 25 cents for a neck
tie or 50 cents or $2 or more. H
con find neckties Just as expensive an
he wants to pay for, and then ho can
got neckties a good deal cheaper than
any of the prices named.
Hero, for Instance, was a street
vender with n pushcart full of neck
ties, hundreds of neckties of various
colors, though all of one style, of
thnt ordor of necktie architecture
known as the butterfly, a bow pinched
in small at the middle nnd having at
tho back a tiny loop of clastic by
which the tie Is attached to tho collar
button.
Five cents nplecc for tho greater
number of these silk butterfly tics, a
gre.it array of them on cards in paste
board boxcii covering three-fourths of
tho bottom of tho pushcart and built
up at the back to enhnnco tho dis
play. Then If you wanted n moro ex
pensive tie this vendor had them,
plenty of them, ties of the samo do
sign but of bettor quality, covering
tho other fourth of the cart's availa
ble space, tlos at 10 cents apiece.
But these more costly tlos woro
Just at this time anyway neglected, at
this raomcn' the people halted at tho
cart were gathered around its otter
section, looking at, Inspecting and
buying cheap' r ties, the ones at fivo
cents each. New York Sun.
i American Phosphate Deposits.
A recent report of tho Geological
' Survey shows that in the Northwest
' country of Idaho. Wyoming and Utah
tho United States possesses probably
I tho laigest and richest phosphnte de
i posits In the world. From surveys re-
cently cast up in totals these deposits
show evidences of 207,000,000 tons of
I high grade phosphate rock, whllo tho
chances are that millions moro tons
may be added to this total before tho
pay rock Is exhausted.
These deposits show tho rock in
pebble formation, closely cemented in
ma ses and containing some calcite.
Tt"se round particles vary from a
microscopic size to pebbles half an
inch In diameter. In color the phos
phate rock ranges from a gray to a
Jet black, the black probably due to
carboniferous matter. All public
lands suspected of containing valuable
deposits of phosphate now are with
drawn from public entry until such,
time as the value of the deposits is
tested, preserving the status of 'he
land until Congress shall take action.
