THE WAY THEY GO
“New Year’s gifts are generally bad
business investments.”
“Why so?”
“Because they always go into the
hands of receivers.”
NEW YEAR MEMORIES
By Fred Bogardus.
Oh! for an old-fashioned New Year day,
With enjoyments keen and pure,
When fun and frolic reigned supreme,
Good fellowship the lure.
As wre journeyed to the parties
Afoot, perchance by sleigh,
The atmosphere seemed laden with
Best wishes of the day.
tMth good old hearty handshakes
We knew were welcome grips,
Instead of the present method of
Just touching the fingertips.
How we merrily danced the lancers,
Danced it with a zeal,
Also the polka and minuet,
And jolly Virginia reel.
How the young and old enjoyed It
kach in his separate way,
outh thinking of the present,
Age of the bygone day.
While times and vogues may change,

still retain sweet memories of
e old-fashioned ways.

LUNATIC IN ARMOR
This is Mike Inik in the home-made
suit of armor he wore when he invad
ed the Hammond county, (Ind.)
court house and shot three men. Inik
was always regarded as mildly insane.
His victims were Judge Charles E.
Greenwald, a court bailiff and a juror.
None of them was fatally injured.
CAN OF MONEY IS FOUND
Small Boys Pay Out $3,000 for 50
Cents’ Worth of Candy Before
Police Interfere.
San Francisco, Cal—Three small
boys, whose aggregate age is twenty
yeafrs, playing near San Francisco’s
new city and county hospital, un
earthed the “end of the rainbow” in
the tangible form of a tomato can
stuffed with real money.
Five thousand dollars in $5 notes—
federal reserve bills of the issue of
1914—the boys pulled forth and then
began an onslaught upon neighboring
candy stores. They did not count the
money, but exchanged sheafs of the
bills for bags of candy.
In all they passed out $3,000 for
50 cents’ worth of sweets before they
were observed by a police officer, who
took the remaining $2,000 in charge.
In the opinion of the police the mon
ey was buried by a thief. The money
will be returned to the boys if it is
not claimed and identified.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS
Any day is a good time to make
good resolutions, but the advent of a
new year is one of the best times, be
cause it is a milepost on the road of
life.
Resolutions which cannot reason
ably be lived up to are better never
made. Failure weakens character,
causes loss of confidence and leads
the mind to a feeling of “what’s the
use?”
Real happiness in life cannot be
bought with gold. Many of the hum
blest people are happier and more con
tented than a neighbor who dwells in
a mansion.
One should try to make each day as
it comes the happiest day of one’s life.
Why waste one’s life away living in
anticipation of a day that may never
come? Each day is like a mirror. One
side is bright and the reflections seem
even better than they really are. The
other side is rough and dark. Try to
keep the bright side turned your way
and at the end of the year may each
of us look back with a better feeling
at heart and a clearer conscience, that
we have performed our duties to the
full extent of the opportunities given
us.
Do It Now.
The man who waits till New Year's
To swear off need not weep
About the things lie’s giving up—
His swear-off will not keep.
A “SMOKING COSTUME”
Suggesting the orient and the harem
this “smoking costume” is a necessary
adjunct to the wardrobe of the woman
who enjoys her sweet-scented ciga
rettes. It is a Culotte model of teille
color and gold brocaded chiffon. The
sleeves and pantaloons are of gold
shot silk and the turban which is of
the same material as is the jacket, is
draped with a soft chiffon veil of teille
color.
FREE WITH FOUND WEALTH
Philadelphia Boy Dislikes to Part
| With Remnant of Actress'
Property.
i
Philadelphia.—After having a good
time with $2,350 worth of jewels and
$400 belonging to Dorothy Granville,
a vaudeville actress, who lost the
money and jewelry in a taxicab the
other night, Abraham Kline, fourteen,
who found it, tried to convince Detec
tives Greeby and Brown that he had
been held up and robbed of his find.
When questioned at the Central sta
tion by Captain Tate and other detec
tives he said that he had distributed
$100 to boys with whom he worked,
gave $100 to his father, tucked $200 in
the thumb of a boxing glove for fu
ture use, and gave the jewels to his
parents. The latter turned the jewels
over to the police.
Happy New Year.
With joy we’ll tumble out of bed
To see the New Year dawn;
For now we are lots better fed,
The turkey hash is aone.
