NEW YEAR'S DAY
TIIK Storm-wind sank, the moon rode
high.
Set round with sliver haze.
Where, late, sky-spaces wonderful
Showed green us chrysopruse.
Within the old gray church anon
The gathered folk would sit;
1 met the old year on the hill.
And bade farewell to it.
The woods around stood stark and dint.
Hut at my feet white birds
Fluttered, the wraiths of kindly deed
And sweet, remembered words.
/.hove me, from Orion's belt.
A great gem Mashed and fell:
Was it a seraph prince sped by,
Michael, or Gabriel?
Then, though my lonely heart must mourn
For some that come no more.
White sails of Hone 1 seeme.i
Set to h sapphire shore.
As lie who dreamed a New World sailed
On an umharted sea.
l'rom I'alos with his caravels
I-ured by a mystery.
So, under flamlns Asian skies.
Or by the still, white I'ole,
That Great Adventure, the New Year,
Be:. :ona the human soul.

IT IS rhp custom of n cortnln railway
engineer to have his hoy
with him now ami then in the engine
cah. The young-'er states that
he has "ringed the bel and blown the
whistle," but that be has not yet
"pulled the throttle."
This seems to be the matter with a
good many older ones of the present
generation, and it may explain their
lack of progress. They have rung the
bell and they have blown the whistle,
but they have neglected to open the
throttle.
That invisible force that Is in us all

and whistle may advertise that we
have steam up, hut they cannot get

while we are really slowing up, like
the train that approaches a stop.
The station may he a permanence

Never before did opportunity

talent so much In demand, never was
capacity so much needed. Never was
ability so largely rewarded. Great
positions wait for those who can till
them. Ambition may plan. Aspiration
may hope.
Hut. I wouldn't want a fast young
man on my road. I wouldn't have a
loud young woman In my oflice.
Cigarettes shut off steam. The call is
not for noise, but for efficiency! I

Parla.?Ex-Premier Georges Clemen'

returned to Paris from a 39-day
trip to the United States. He brought
back with him what he termed happy
remembrances that the people of
America still lore France, and also
two boxes of grape fruit which he deft
clared would contribute to his longevity.
Although he seemed to be in a rarely
good-natured mood, nevertheless
close friends affected to see evidences
that his itrenuous tour in the United

greeted bim at Havre and also in

Official notice of his return was
lacking, due to his expressed wish.
The Tiger, when asked concerning
his views of what had been accomplished
during his tour, took refuge
behind the brusque manner he so
well knows how to assume when occasion
requires. He indicated by a
few casual phrases that if there was
*1iy niipuri 10 niH visit tne American
people would get It. s
"They have got sense enough," he
declared.
He added that for him his Journey
was the chapter that ended his career.
He said he moved by the sense of
fatigue which sooner or later must
terminate his interest in the influences
of earthly matters; like a true
Frenchman, he was yearning for the
quick peace of solitude.
During t"he homeward voyage Clemenceau
is reported to have said, "I
am going to the country soon, for

Clemenceau repeatedly denied on

bad given an interview in which he
was represented as having objected

looking to their having the necessities
of life, but above all be regards
the penitentiary as a place of
punishment and a place where the sentences
of the courts should be carried
out.
The chief executive Is being beseiged
with requests for Christmas paroles.
In order that prisoners may dine with,
their families here or over the state.
However, the governor does not intend
to grant any of theae requests.
does not feel that he should shovr
favoritism to a few to the exclusion'
of the vast majority. To let a dozen
go home would mean favoritism to
them and would not tend to build up
the discipline of the other 499 or more,
the governor says.
In connection with his idea as to the
treatment of the prisoners, the governor
made the following statement:
"The governor stands for absolutehumaneness
in the handling of the
prisoners, but he believes in punishment
where there are offenders, Just
as children have tn ho nnnlohn/l If
they violate the ordinary rules of home
life. He stands for giving the prisoners
every reasonable consideration,,
looking to their having the necessities
of life, but he regards the penitentiary
as a place of punishment and:
the verdict of the courts, looking to the'
men being placed there for a special
time, should be carried out with only
such exemptions as are pertinently
proper and right. In order that there
should be no misunderstanding of the
situation the governor is making ihisannouncement
in advance*
