THE NEW YEAH OPPORTUNITY.
One reason why the habit of mak
I iriR New Ycar'srcsolutions became un
popular was that it was presented '
the people so mueli in the line of duty.
The people of these times do not like
to he reminded of their duties. The
very word has a cold and obnoxious
sound to them and it repels them.
Much more can bo accomplished by
pointing ouv the opportunities which
lie before them.
New Yeai's day can wsll be a lime
for a contemplation of these oportu-
nities - If we have reasonably good
health we can look forward to a year
of activity and achievement in which
we can profit by the multitude of op-j
portunitios in modern life.
Some cynical people say that there
are not so many opportunities for suc-
cessful life as there used to be. On
the contrary there are a great many
more opportunities. In the fields of
work and business people are spend-
ing more money than ever before;
they are constantly calling for new
things. There are plenty of chances
for profitable work dn the part of
.those who respond intelligently to
these demands.
-Vo do not make full use of our
opportunities unless wo take advan-
tago of them for the the improvement
of our own mental equipment. Peo-
ie 0UKjt constantly to bo learning.

PEDESTRIANS HAVE
JHGHT.OF-WAY-j
The Supreme Court of the United
States handed on a decision recently
that every automobile driver should
lend.
A pedestrian was stiuck by an au-
tomobile while crossing the street be-
tween two streets not a cross walk.
The pedestrian sued the company
which owned the automobile and se-
cured n verdict for $15000. The com-
pany appealed tt the United States
Supreme Court on the ground that the
cross walk was for the use of pedes-
trians and if the pedestrian used any
other part of the street he did so at
his own risk. The verdict rendered
by the highest court reads:
"The streets belong to the public;
pedestrians have the right to walk on
any part of the street or roadway and
tlint riiTlit i-nn not be taken away.'
Driving a car is a piivilege that may
be revoked at any time; therefore it
becomes incumbent upon the driver of.
an automobile to see to it that he docs
not strike the pedestrian. The appeal
is dismissed."

on the .luiloan hills a band of
shepherds listened to the llrst Cliilst-

broke across the silent night. It does i
not require a great deal of Imagina-
tion to picture tlif-lr stern rugttcd

the strange Ila'it grew brighter mvd

quickly with hurrying throngs.
"Bless the Lord O. my soul I"
chanted the holy men.
"On earth pence; good will townrd

"What weans It?" some one cried.
"Unto you a Child Is born. Unto
you a King Is glu-n." came In answer
front the Heavenly Host.
Slow majestically the Star inoxed
across the 'leavens until It paused

InfHiit lay o soft unearthly radiance
lighting all the place.
Wise men knelt with gifts of gold
and frankincense and myrrh. Itlch
and poor wise a'nd simple old Mild
young bowed beneath that holy light
on the first Christmas eve so long
ago.
Today throughout tho entire Chris-
tian world the song still rings. What-

umphant cry "Peace and good will !

The Christmas chimes were peal-

Just a short time apart the past sum-

that Christmas memories would be less

Not much Christinas atmosphere about

But something must be done about
Christmas for Bob's sake If for no

could do. All their friends had theli
own families at Chrlftniiis Jut as
they had had theirs until tills year.
That brought her had; atmln to the
little town and the many changes that
had tahen place een In the short
time they had been "(1110. Other homos
besides theirs would miss the older
generation this Christinas. I 'espy 1-
gnn enumerating them In her mind.
There was Judge Ilatford who had
done so much for thein when the tirst
break had come and her own father
had passed away and een last sum-
mer when her mother too had gone
it was Judge Ilatford who had taken
tho sling from the legal aspects. Yet
It was hut a few weeks later when he
alse had been laid to rest In the little
cemetery on the hill ; then there was
genial courtlv Mr Morrow and Mr.
and Mrs. Itohorts separated from each
other hut 11 brief month and Mr. nnd
Mrs. Dawson Peggy stopped In her
summary. Why hadn't she thought of
the Pawsons before? There wa I'red
Dawson and Katharine and their lit-
tle boy Pick and Katharine's younger
sister Mary; they too must he look-
ing forward to Christmas with sor-
rowful nemorles; for always they had
come from the far-olT city to the home
in the lltle town for the holidays and
now there was 110 home to which to
come.
"It's worse for them than for us.
I'll write them at once" Poguj de-
cided. "They're Jtrst what we need.
Mary and Boh will lime a good time.
We nluays enjoy Tied and Katharine.
And there's little Dick bless Ills heart;
a child Is what we want to revive the
Christinas spirit."
Again Peggy found herself within
hearing nf tho Christmas chimes:
"Joy to the world" was ringing
forth as she approached the depart-
ment store on liei homeward way.
But there was no lump In hen throat
this time and her eyes were clear and
starry as she gaily hasiencd along
