PBLIX, Psb.siHi Prap'r latere at the Hartford peet-oflee M stall natter of the second alas. According to Washington statis tics, Kentucklans last year paid more than $1,500,000 In laundry bills to power plant laundries alono -not counting a wholo bunch of us who have most of our washing dono by the faithful old darkey "mam mies." "Who said Kentucklans were not a cleanly set of people? No doubt President Wilson Is hav ing a vory cnjoyablo honeymoon, notwithstanding the fact that he has been besot from the start by the op erators of six motion picture ma chines and nineteen newspaper re porters. He has had much trouuie in avoiding both the muzzle of the camera and the points of the report era' pencils. All of which does not discourage rising young Americans from hoDlng to some day be Presi dent. With this Issue of The Horald vol ume 41 Is closed and not week the paper starts Into Its 4 2d year. Wo have tried a-s best wo could and with the best talent that we could em ploy, to give the public a clean, new sy and Interesting paper In all Its departments, worthy of tho support of those who appreciate such things, Tho best Indication that we havo succeeded Is tho generous support In the way of readers which wo havo received throughout all theso years. Wo wish all our readers as much happiness as a New Year can possi bly hold fcr them. A careful scanning of all the ex changes or newspapers which come to a country editor's desk Is ono of the tasks which comprise his Work. It ought not to be turned lightly aside. Sometimes he picks up a pa per in which he discerns nothing available until when It starts to leave his hands there flashes Into view an article or Item of editorial inspiration worthy of note which ho almost missed. A newspaper is made ,up of various kinds of reading, ap pealing to many tastes In this line. An editor does not always print what he himself likes, but what he feeis his readers will appreciate. Tho day Is coming and not far distant when tho newspaper or Its contents will form a part of the cur riculum, of every school or college. The necessity for such an Innovation has been apparent for years. The student should be required to keep up with current events forming his tory, as well as his other studies. A valuable and Intelligent rivalry could bo maintained by deciding .upon the most Important event that had transpired within the last day or "week. A student should be able to keep up with current as well as an cient history. The affairs of to-day are very valuable In shaping up his stock of general knowledge. Tho annual "swear-off season Is now supposed to be at hand. So much derision has been Indulged In regarding this matter that the event has perhaps lost much of its force for good, but nevertheless It Is a good Idea and no ono man or woman need ' be ashamed of Its practice. There are various, things we could "swear off" from which jivould bo all the better, no doubt, for our modo of living. It is better to try and fail than never to try at all. The effort at reform, even In pmall matters, Is helpful. We all havo our faults, someof which could be easily overcome. People lose nothing by trying to Improve their lives. Santa Claus has come and gono and, the presents havo been distrib uted. It is said that more of thls sort of thing was dono this year than over before. Various gifts were given for various purposes, to keep up (he Christmas spirit. But after It Is all over, the ones that we alltrcasuro tho most, bo they small orjlarge, are they not the ones which we" feel aro ontwlnod wRU thelentU menfa of love and ,aff6$ln,not liKiven as a merh auty"lVt''becauso the heart of (ho giver was warm -with the spirit of lasting and slncero xegardV Truly so.

Gorgeous Speetaote of the Midnight Sun at Karungl. 1 was glad 1 stopped at Karungl, Sweden, for I saw the midnight sun (be almost midnight sun, io be exact, for although it was noonday bright all night the sun did make a bluff at set ting. It went down at twenty minutes to 12 and rose twenty minutes after 12. Tho sun went down blood red, and the sky was crimsoned almost to the zenith. It seemed ns if all tho north' wero on Ore. Tho river burned In the glow, and the sky took on tints that ranged from cardinal to pink. Just ns the whole plnco seemed about to burst Into flame, tho sun dropped out of sight, and the glaring reds began to mellow Into softer shades, tho river lost Us glow of Arc, and the sky dulled and dimmed until It looked like a great Inverted dome tbnt bad been wblto hot and was cooling slowly. There were no other shades than tho shades of fire none of tho usual ma roons and cerises and garnets that como as the aftermath of mountain sunsets. Everything was carmine. The air quivered redly, and tho trees nnd tho grass were rubescent All this softened gradually Into n glowing ono toned mass of color. Then, nt twenty minutes past 12, at a point that seemed not more than half a mllo along tho horizon from tiro plnco whero tho sun disappeared, there cume a golden glory that spread evenly over t,ho reddened sky.i Tho sun wns rising nnd soon wn3 above the horizon. It went down as red as Are. it came up bright, glittering, gleaming, as if dur ing the forty minutes It had been be low the horizon some titanic hand had polished It for another day's use. I asked In Stockholm and Chrlstl- aula: "When do you sleep?" "In the winter,"' they said. "Then tho nights arc so long there Is nothing else to do." Pamucl G-. Blytbeln Satur day Evening Post. DARING WORKMEN. Awning Removers Take Greater Risks Than Do Stoeplejacks. Steeplejacks havo long enjoyed a rep utation for daring, but It Is a question whether they como In the same class of rlskers ns tho nwnlng removers, who take down tho "sunshades" from tho fronts of houses all over the city. These removers do not need or use the rope and block nnd fall accessories of the steeple men. Yet they climb to places and do their work in what seems to be an impossible manner. Starting nt tho street level, two or three uwnlng removers will strip the entire front of a flat houso and never go Indoors. They nre as agile as acro bats. They reach up to a window sill and then raise themselves to tho win dow ledge. Finishing the window while standing on this ledge, they seize tho top stone of the window, pull them selves up to it and from there reach again to tho window ledgo above so as to strip another window. Through tho belt they wear runs a line, and with this they lower tho owulngs us they take them down. How they can do their work with so little to hang on to is moro remarkable than tho tasks performed by the struc tural ironworkers. The Ironworker, if he slips, has something nt hand in the way of a beam around which bo has a chance to lock his uinis. The uwnlng remover, when be slips, falls outward from the ledge nnd has nothing to clutch. Threo awning removers on one occasion stripped a seven story flat of seventy-five windows In the Bronx in tho rcmnrkablo time of throe, hours, all from the outside. Now York Sun. Quebeo'i Fortifications. Tho fortifications of Quebec nre obso lete as fortifications, but remain as picturesque additions to tho beauty and Interest of "tho Gibraltar of Amer ica."

Between 1803 and 1871 threo forts wero built on tho Levis side of the river, but were not armed or manned. The citadel occupies more than forty acres.
