the conclusion that one would be
better for desisting from some
practice to which one is addict-
ed, or to adopt a course which
one has uot hitherto followed, is
a good time to begin. However,
New Year ia a favorite date be-
cause it is the start of another
year. The slate is clean then
and a new account is opened. It
is easier to make a resolution
than it is to keep it. Resolu-
tions have to do with improve-
ment. It doesn’t require resolu-
tion to do worse than one did in
the old year. A worse course
offers few difficulties in execu-
tion. To do better is the one
which requires fortitude and per-
sistence.
Despite resolutions we may
make most of us do not change
from year to year. It’s the trend,
though, that makes the chief dif-
ference, With some the diree- j
tion is on an ascending plane)
while others there is a down

course to piursui1, (though the
difference between the two may
not be especial1^ pkfrceptible. |
Most of those who improve a
little do not do so conspicuously,
while many of those who grow
worse do not do so at a rapid rate.
The result depends on the kind
of a groove in which one is run-

Those Whose Business

Old Tyler, iho one they had believed
touched b.v the love of gold, knew
more than they, no had kuown it all
the time. Lindervllle was doubly
ashamed, and then, as that feeling dK
appeared, it became covetous. One
by one the innle population took to
the slopes and fields In search of tho
gold that Tyler had found. The dream
of that fortune, never found, endures
there yet.

wrote to him extending an Invitation,
