Turning Over a a
New Leaf
Br LAURA JEAN LIBBEY
(Copyright, by the McClure Newspaper
Syndicate.)
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead who never to himself hath said:
“I’m going to turn over a new leaf this
year! I’ll cut loose from the crowd of
fellows I cannot get away from when I
have plenty of money, but who get out
of my way when they know I’m broke.
Til cut down my cigar bill one-half. It
cuts my pride to see my cigar dealer
whisk by in his fine automobile, I trudg
ing along on foot. The same resolution
shall hold good in regard to my tailor,
who lives in a fine house of his own, I
in a boarding house. I’ll let others help
to finance him this year. I’ll chum
with a different set of men, choosing
young comrades who insist upon pay
ing their share of the way, instead of
men older and more canny than I,
who never pay out a cent from their
own pocket, but make my friendship
for them their support.
“As for the girls (God bless them!)
instead of avoiding them I’ll turn over
a new leaf by picking out a nice girl
to woo and wed. I find the longer a
man puts off marrying the more he’ll
rue it. Life is unsatisfactory and in
complete to a man who hasn’t the love
of some good, noble woman, who loves,
trusts, looks up to him, and has his
weirare at neart. in suck closer to
business and see how much I can save
instead of how much I can spend, I’ll
start by taking water instead of wine;
by shaking dimes in my pocket, which
are to stay there, -instead of shaking
dice. I’ll make a firm resolve that
nothing shall break to write at least
one letter a week to my dear old moth
er, whose anxious thoughts and pray
ers are always following me, as well
as her motherly tear-stained missives,
begging for just a word from me now
and then. I’ll make my old father proud
of me. I’ll cut out costly dinners at
restaurants, just to seo and be seen.
The little cafe ’round the corner where
the food is good and costs much less
will do' me.”
It’s the best thing a man could do
to make such wise resolutions. The
point is, will he stick to them, turning
over a new leaf which he would never
be sorry for? If he does not backslide,
the year will be full of promise for
him. He will be successful in business
and in love. By the time the next year
rolls around he will probably not be a
bachelor, but will have a sweet and
gracious bride by his side, who will
help him keep his pledges and make
his life and home happy. The man who
has the grit to do this will lay the
foundation of happiness for life.
Why Watches Lose Time.
The reason for variations in the
time-keeping qualities of a well-regu
lated watch have been the subject of
investigation by scientists recently.
The popular theories that animal
magnetism and bodily temperature are
causes are denied by the investigators.
Rather, different rhythms of move
ment as well as the angle at which a
watch hangs, are given as real cause
for irregularities.—Auburn Advertis
er-Journal.
Sulphur.
Sulphur is one of the oldest known
elements; the ancient Assyrian al
chemists regarded it as the principle
of combustion on account of its own
inflammability, and termed it “brim
stone,” meaning literally burning
stone, a name now applied popularly
to roll-sulphur. »
Muddlers.
The supreme muddlers of living are
often people of quite remarkable in
tellectual faculty, with a quite re
markable gift of being wise for oth
ers.—Arnold Bennett.
