New Year'* Resolution*.

(Rhe hasn't spoke to me since last
Sabbath)
Resolved, 'I hut i will not cat any
more pork sausage, hard-boiled eggm,
of (,hil| Concarni until something
happens. (My doctor told me that I
would die of acute indigestion if I
ever swallowed another bite of those
delectable tid bits):
Resolved, 1 hat 1 will never endorse
another man s note so long us my
right hand knoweth what my left
hand doeth. (My banker told me if
I did so that he would "call" all my
personal notes).
Resolved, That 1 will never go bird
hunting again. (Went one day last
week walked 72 miles, tore a good
pair britches off my person, shot 122
times jumped in 3 creeks trying to
jump over them, got scratched all
over with briars, and killed one sparrow,
1 rat, 1 yellow-hammer, 1 snake,
and 2 pecker-woods).
Resolved, That 1 will not chew
Brown's Mule, or smoke cigarettes,
cigars, cross-vine, rabbit's tobacco,
"hoop craps play cards, neck, peep
thru key-holes, stare at short dresses
or their contcs|*, or talk in my sleep.
(I have rpfVer done any of these
things, therefore J njn no risk in
making this resolution).
Resolved, That I will not buy anything
else on the installment plan until

can buy again on credit. (The young

a'if* 8 'oomH up as a necessity
right at this .time, and furthermore?
I m afraid to take it off and leave it
at home: the Armenians or a rummage

Resolved, That I will not stay out
late at night. There's a reason).

deer mr. editor ?
please print the following little
epitaff about my wife'a cousin, sam,
who got run over the forth tueftday
in june 1920 ansoforth:
oh sum, oh sum, oh nam, oh aum,
you will never know how sad I am,
the voice is still that hollered for
bread,
and noboddy yet aint used yore bed.
the cheer i> vacant where you uster
set,
and yore old pipe is smelling yet,
the letter you wrote sue was never
sent.
and it'-- been lonesome since you
went.
oil sani, we miss you now and then,
but we'll never see you till we
meet again,
we hope it's wings that you've got on'
instead of horns made of bone,
good bye sam till later on.
yore cousin,
mike Clark, rfd.
Our .Sabbath School had a Christmas
tree on the eve of the holidays.
Our church had an enrollment of 87
and an average attendance of 35, but
there were 1<>4 good little Sabbath
School boys and girls at the Christmas
tree, all of whom were remembered
by old Santa Claus '..be
cause of their faithfulness in attending
the Sabbath School during
the year. 1 have decided that a good
way to get the children to Sabbath
School is to have a Christmas tree
every Sabbath, and the men can be
brought out to prayer-meeting on
Wednesday nights by the simple
method of serving good oysters stews
(free) just after exercises.
Yes, 1927 was a bumper year for
me. I got bumped from head to foot,
sideways, edgeways, right and left.
Taxes, grocery bills, second mortgages,
Armenians, patched britches,
short crops, bad checks, kinfolks (not
mine, however), carbon, blowouts,
punctures, and other forms of punishments
met me on corners, side-streets,
main highways and by-way, hedges,
and everything proved to be "bumper"
for me. I want normal times
again, if possible, that will let me
slow down to a trot, that will permit
me to keep a few cents of my wages
for myself, that will allow me the
freedom of my community, and give
me a feeling that 1 can sit down and
rest an hour or two away from the
hustle and hustle and worry and
11-'tilde of our socalled modern time-.
