NEW YEAR F
?orothy Dix inNei
This is the time of year when
everybody, except reformers, begin to
think about I reforming. themselves.
Reformers are always so busy correct
ing other people's *ius that, they hay
no time to at Lend to their own vices,
but the rest < f us are firmly xsBolvcd
to turn over i new leaf with the new
year. We are going to suppress our
pet weaknesses) with an iron hand,
and are ?oinglto take a fresh grip on
all the virtues, and generally do the
things we ought to do ?ad leave un
done those things we ought not do so.
Of course, New Year resolutions
snare the Same fate as pie crust; they
are made to be broken, but that is no
argumontj against them. One doesn't
refrain from putting on clean linen
because it will get soiled and have to
be sent to the'laundry again, and
there is no reason in not turning over
the new page because it, too, in time
will be filled with mistakes, and blot
ted with tears, and covered, with en
tries we would give our'very heart's
blood to erase.
It must be admitted that the New
Year's resolutions belong mostly to
men. It has never been a pastime
that appeals to women. They have
been told they were angels so long
they have come to believe it, and
hen a woman admits she has a fault,
is with no idea of correcting it.
She is merely fishing for a compliment,'
and expeots to be oontradicted. Agree
with her and she ' bridles instantly
with offense, and sets you; down as a
spiteful old thing, so stupid you don't
know shining perfection when you see
it. A man is much more frank about
his sins, anyway, than a woman. You
will often he?rVione say: "I haVe been
drinking too much; I am going to
stop," or, "I used to bo a gambler,
but I have reformed," but nobody
ever - heard a woman come right out
flat-footed and admit, "I have been a
scandalmonger, but I have reformed,"
or, "I have been ruining my husband
by my senseless extravagance, but I
am going to mut/'
In these days when wears dispu
ting with man the monom/?y of all
the.other good things of life there is
no reason for leaving him in sole pos
session of the New Year resolution.
We have faults of our own- and we
need the New Year resolution in our
business, too. - Our weakness may
not bo just the peculiar brand affect
ed by our fathers, and'husbands, and
brothers, but they k stand in just as
muoh need , of reforming. Whiskey
and profanity and gambling' and un
faithfulness; are not th? only sins in
the world. There are unreasonable
|ness, and temper, and fretting, and
nagging, and when the groat day
comes, when the ledger in which hu
man accounts are set down Is balanced,
it is going to be hard to tell whioh has
C?SSe? ths gtSSieSt ?.i??ry and broken
up the most homes.
Let's face the music, sisters, and
e an inventory of the* faults that
re peculiarly feminine, and turn our
tt??tior to .them. Let's stop baok*
iting and tittle-tattle, and the bar?
ain counter habit, and scratching (
fbadk, and try to. be ' more.. like the
superior Creatures we think we are,
mud less like the poor, miserable, weak'
Cornea wo aro.
Of course, everybody has an idea of
a world as I would reform it.'pft
fconfesa I have; and, speaking for my
pelf, I should like to See my entire
ex unite in a grand sweeping New
ear's resolution to try to look at life
hrongh the clear speot?cles of com
on sense instead of the smoked
lassos of sentiment. That would be
tidal wave of reform, - that^ jvould1
weep ? long ways.towards the millcn
ium. Then we should have moro
tomen looking before they leaped,
ad fewer mangled aud bleeding at
ho bottom of the precipice. We
honld hear few?r >h???t-rcadiDg tales

RESOLUTIONS.
17 Orleans J?ieayun.Q.
average American husband, when all
is said, is a child-like creature, easily
pleased, and the wife who cannot keep
what she has caught deserves to lose
it for her own selfish stupidity.
I should like to see every woman
who is at the head of a house put a
taboo on the arguing habit and ruth
lessly suppress it. Let her swear off
fron* discussing unpleasant topics her
self and keep her table sod hearth
stone from being a battle ground,
where political and financial and reli
gious battles are fought out \ to a
bloody finish. The arguing mania is
the pest of many a home. It breeds
temper, ill-nature, spiteful personali
ties, rancor and hatred. Everybody
is entitled to their own opinion, but
if they can't agree it is nothing but
common decency.to keep it to them
selves. When a member of a family
is determined to do something of
which the others disapprove let them
exercise their individual liberty and
please themselves, but stop from keep
ing the whole fsmily in a turmoil by
discussing it beforehand. Nine
tenths of the family jars oan be pre
vented by this simple device.
I should like to ses women swear off
from worrying. It does'no good. It
plows furrows in the checks, and pr?
cipit?tes doctors' bills, and. the thing
we worry over never happeno, any
way. It is 'something we weren't
looking for, and hadn't worried about
a paxtiole,. that occurs. Of course,
it's natural for every wife end mother
to (bisk che is iu? pin that keops the
universe together. But she isn't.
She dies and another woman steps in
and marries her husband and keeps
her house and raises her children just
as well as she could have done. Let's
re?oive to tako life cheerfully and not
to worry over the things we can't
help or those we oan help. We
shall be happier for it, and, after all,
we might trust God to run the world
Be mt.de.
I should like to see women swear off
from so much novel reading. Th?
muoh-heralded free libraries are fast
becoming a public menace, instead of
a publie blessing. There are plenty
of women * >ho spend their time doing
nothing but devouring one novel after
another, and who. live in one contin
uai dobauoh of false ideals and false
sentiment end highly spiced romance
and sizzling passion that is every whit
as demoralising, mentally sod morally,
as any other jag. There is reason in
all things and temperance in novel
reading is just as much to be desired
es temperance in drinking whiskey.
I should like to see mothers resolve
to braoo up and do their duty by their
children. Because little Johnny is
self-willed is no reason for not con
trolling him. Beoeus* little Mary is
determined on having her own way is
so ??B?i? for indulging her in it. Ql
course, it is^ hard to make children
obey and toaoh them good manners.
Most duties ere, but nobody but e
coward shirks them on that account.
Thfxe is no other thing on earth that
stands in such urgent need of reform
as.the way in which children aro rais
ed. It is an issue that no mother oan*
dodge. If the shiftless, lazy mother
who lets her children grow up on the
street, or any where else, so they don't
worry her, or the over tender mother,
who loves her children too well, to
make them mind, had alone to suffer
the; consequences of their\ folly and
sin it would not matter so much. But
every ono of us aro tho victims-of her
errors, and it would be a matter for
general rejoicing if the women, of the
country would establish a new domes
tic policy that would call for the ex
tension of the spanking industry and
the subjugation of tho infant terrors
of the household. '
- I should like to eeo . young girls
swoar off from talking slang that soils
their pure Hps, and from trying to bo
hoodlums instead of ladies.
I should like to see club women
swear off from espousing fool causes
and reserve their strength for work
that will count in th? g?nerai good.

A Game of Freeze out. ' j
A gentleman who had come from
Colombia e&ys that there ie weeping
end wailing and gnashing of teeth on
the part of the member of tbe dispen
sary board who formerly enjoyed the
fat pickings and wa*? living a life of
luxury and fast beoomiog a modern
Croesus. The trouble arose from the
two other members of the board form
ing a coalition against him and- con
trolling all tho purchases, rendering
this member's vote of no commercial
or marketable value. Ab there are
only three members of the board two
constitute a decisive majority and the
third member is wholly impotent. Hav

Astonished" His Mother.
-
Harold's conversational powers and
choice of words arc in their formative
stage, and bis mother is finding it a
rather diffioult matter to train them
into the straight and]narrow path, of ele
gance. He is a son of a well-known
violinist of tbe city and himself some
thing of a musical prodigy, but, con
trary to all belief, this docs not keep
Harold from pos?e??isg as appetite

other boys of hio substantial build. | I
The Thanksgiving and Christmas
turkeys, therefore,. are his delight.
He had finished his first boutiful sup

"Harold," said his mother, "that
doesn't sound nice. You must say

la the evening the remains of the
turkey were brought to the table.

hesitated, and said: ,

A Dream With a Moral.
A rich lady dreamed that she went
to heaven, and Utero saw a mansion
being built, say? the Chiesgo Post.
"Whim io that for?" she asked of
the guide.
"But he lives in the tiniest cottage
on earth, with barely room for his fam
ily. He might live better if he did.
not give away so much to the mise
rable poor folks.'.'
Farther on eh? saw a lis y cottage,
being built. "And who is that for?"
she ask?d.
"That is for you."
"But I have lived in a mansion o
jarth. I would not know how to live
n a cottage."
The words she heard in reply were
nil of meaning. "The Master Builder
s doing his best with the material
ibat is being sent up."
Then she awoke, resolving to lay up

"This fervid praise,*' he said, "re

He laughed again. Then he went

in words like these:
