t How Tom Johnson, blithe
and gay,
Spent a happy New Year's
day.
i-i-i-i-i-i-i'i'i-i-i-i-i-i-i-M-i-r-i-i-i-x-r-i-i-
THIS is a tale of New Year's day,
a day when people should be
gay. when carking care should
be forgot and sighs and frowns
and tears be not: a day when mirth
and Joy should reign, when worry
should not be. nor pain; when every
body should be fed a"hd every one hold
up his head. Good resolutions should
abound; good things to eat. too, should
be found, and from the hour when
morning's light is shed upon the town
till night is well advanced all persons
should indulge in "times" that men
call "good."
Now. Thomas Johnson was a man
who every New Year's used to plan to
see the sights and hear the clinks of
glasses while he drank the drinks that
almost any person may more freely
take of on that day than any other in
the year without the shadow of a fear
that any one of him will judge. "He's
got to taking too much budge!" A
hundred dollars was the sum Tom
Johnson spent to make things hum.
and with it in his pockets he would
always start out merrily at 10 o'clock
sharp to the minute, and then till mid
night he'd be "in it"
This day Tom started out alone. He
felt quite friendless and unknown. The
day was cold, and driving sleet went
whistling up and down the street, and
ere he'd sauntered half a block Tom
Johnson had a dreadful shock. A man
he'd known in other times stood on the
curbstone begging dimes. His clothes
were thin and mean and old; his jaws
were chattering with the cold, and
when he met his old friend's gaze he
tried to hide bis pallid face.
But Johnson would not have it so.
"What is the trouble, old friend Joe?
Down on your luck? I didn't know
what had become of you."
Then Tom took his friend's arm and
led him from the pavement to a quiet
spot where it was warm and dry.
"Great Scott!" said Tom when they
had sat down. "1 thought that you
had left the town. Here, waiter, bring
a good hot lunch and brew a bowl of
good strong punch. Now, Joe, just
tell me what you need. I'm glad we
met I am, indeed."
Then bit by bit the facts came out.
Hard times had downed Tom's friend.
Without a cent he'd found himself that
A man he'd known in other times
Stood on the curbstone begging dimei.
morning without a job, too so, for
lorn, he'd started out to beg for bread.
Tom Johnson sadly shook his head.
"You should have come to me." he
said. "But say goodby to days of
sorrow. I'll find a place for you to
morrow. You shall begin the world
anew; your sky shall once again be
blue."
Then to his rooms Tom Johnson led
and in warm clothes from foot to head
he clad his old time friend, then said:
"This is New Year's day, old man.
This town is doubtless full of good men
down. Let us two see if- we can't find
some others who have run behind.
We'll take a cab and drive about and
hunt them up and get them out and if
they don't enjoy this day it won't be
my fault anyway."
To this Tom's friend gave quick as
sent, and up and down the town they
went, and before evening they - had
found of friends of both a dozen round
on whom Dame Fortune false had
frowned. Did they accept Tom's bid
to dine? Would ducks swim Would
yon decline a chance to change from
grave to gay New Year's or any other
day? At the table every one ate and
drank till he was done; smoked and
joked and stories told; some were new
and some were old. Then, to wind up
the New Year's day, Johnson took them
to the play, and when the curtain Tias
rung down his friends agreed that in
this town Tom's equal never could be
found.
And -when at last he sought his bed
Tom missed his usual New Year's
&end. What he thought was far more
funny he had not spent all his money,
but to his friend he made remark:
"To these my words 1 pray you hark:
Never lefore. I desire to say. have 1
passed a happier New Year's day."
Davis Dexter in Philadelphia Press.
A Curiosity About Eclipses..
The average number of total and
V.
partial eclipses in any one year is four,
the maximum seven and the minimum
two. There is nothing really peculiar
in this except the fact that where only
two occur they are always both of the
sun. There are more solar than lunar
eclipses, but the sun. being so ni'icli
larger than the earth or moou.-the
.shadow terminates at a point and is
visible janly along a narrow track.
while the lunar obscuration is fre
quently visible over half a continent.

AUG INK
The year's end shows a remarkable
increase in the marketing of hogs at
North Portland. The big increase in
the supply last year was small in
comparison with the showing of in
crease made this season. During the
year unofficial figures show a total
marketing of 120,529 hogs in the local
stock yards, compared with 85,273
head in 1911. The increase for the
year, therefore, is 35,256 head.
.Remarkable as the showing of in
crease in the arrivals of hogs at North
Portland during the year was the de
crease in other lines of trade. The
decrease in cattle was 11,935 head.
Total run for the year was 76,204 head
compared with 88,139 head in 1911.
The loss in the marketing of calves
was even more remarkable. Total
run for the year in the local yards
was 2796 head, or 4022 head less than
during 1911.
Last year's heavy marketing of
sheep at North Portland probably
broke a;ll previous records; therefore,
considering this the showing of sup
plies in the local yards during the
present year, was not so bad as first
glance at. the figures would indicate.
The decrease for the year is 46,412
head. Total run of mutton in the
yards during the year was 254,640
head, while a year ago it was 301,052
head.
