FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1907
Are jour New Year resolutions
still on straight?
Perhaps yon have noticed that
dampness in the atmosphere this
week? _______
One good resolution well kept is j
better than a cargo of good resolu- i
tious easily broken.

He is a short sighted and small
calibred man who strives to im
prove only his own condition, re
gardless of the neighborhood in
which he lives.
The Journal is informed that
certain parties have characterized
those citizens who are interested
in the reform movement as “Moss
backs.” Well, there is one consol
ation: If the man who favors the]
enforcement of the laws is a moss- j
back,the greatest men this country ,<
ever produced were mossbacks. i
The Journal’s attention has been
called to the fact that only one of
the alleged jointists who recently
escaped from the ©ticers, had been
arrested. The man McGuire, or |
vW&iiftfcver his name might be, whoj
lltt^nTred for Arnold, was notarres j
tfe^jUbnsequently our censure of j
vbfficers for not placing the of- j
enders under bond, does not ap-j
ply in this case. Jackson, howev- ]
cr was arrested by both the mar- ^
shal and the constable, and there j
were three seperate charges against;
him- -one warrant sworn out be
fore the mayor for blind tigering
and two before the justice of the
peace for running a gambling
house. Hut both the marshal and
constable forgot to put him un
der bond; or at least that is the
excuse the marshal offers. The
constable says that he arrested
Jackson late at night, just as he
was fixing to start to Newport anc
Jackson told him he was already
under bond for the other charge
and was then going to Newport
to employ counsel to fight the
cases and would return the next
morning.

Miner’s
An addition to the literature
of curious wills conies from the
arctic goldfields of Canada. A
miner died at the headwaters of
the Stewart river in the Yukon
territory. On a piece of birch
bark he wrote his last testament,
bequeathing his valuable claims
on the river to his nieces. A
companion who was with him in
the last moments said: “We had
no paper, and so the man wrote
his will on a piece of bark, and
a friend and I signed as wit
nesses.”

Finding of “Religions of the Orient”
Leads to Slight Ruffling of
Wifely Harmony.
The harmony in which Mr. and
Mrs. Jabez Green had lived for
nearly 40 years was slightly rut
iled when, at the close of a lecture
in the first course ever given in
NVraynhan, Mr. Green stated that
he should like to know more about j
eastern religions.
“Jabez,” said his wife, firmly,
“you know what you believe, and
what other folks believe different
needn’t be anything to you ex
cepting as you're sorry for 'em be
ing blinded.”
Mr. Green looked unconvinced,
and a slight coolness arose, but in
time it passed away. Mrs. Green ,
redoubled her attentions in the
way of griddle-cakes and hot soap
stones, and her husband kept the
wood-box tilled to the brim. He had
a reason for so doing, inasmuch as
certain half-hours in the barn
were passed in absorbed reading j
of an old brown-covered book i
which Jabez had bought second |
hand in Nashua, and of which lie I
had never spoken.
“More I read it, the mure thank
ful 1 feel I'm not one o’ those
heathen folks.” Mr. Green mut
tered one day. as he hung up his
old coat in the shed, with the
brown book safely hidden in its
deepest pocket. “When 1 get all
through maybe I'll tell her how
strengthened I am in the faith—
maybe l will.”
lie went off for his afternoon
nap, but later on, at dusk, feeling
in the pocket for the brown book
as he startl'd for t lie barn to do t lie
milking, he found that it was gone.
As he passed his hand helplessly
up and down, Mrs. Green opened
th«‘ door that led out from the
kitchen to the shed.
“Lost anything?” she asked,
briskly.
“A no. not exactly, said Mr.
Green, feeling like a criminal. “I
was just looking—”
“If you were looking for that
book on “Religions of the Orient’
you can't have it 1 ill after supper,”
said Mrs. Green with decision. “I
see by where your slip was when I
took the book out of your pocket
this afternoon that you’d got
ahead of me one full chapter. You
shortened up your nap to-day or 1
should have caught up. You can’t
have it till to-morrow.”
“Why, how do you know—”
began Mr. Green, feebly; but his
wife gave him a gentle shove.
“Do you know we’ve been mar
ried over 40 years!” she said, gayly.
“You’d better button that collar
up close, for it’s cold in the barn,
even when you aren’t stopping to
sit down and read. I knocked
against that great bulge in your
coat the first day it was there, as
I went after souk* old tin to stop a
rat-hole. Now you go right along."
