Thoughts of the New Year
DUKE HOTEL
II I! ACTS
Which Wny.
There's a way to the right and a way to the wrong,
A way for the weak and a way for the strong,
And on which cf these ways will your banner be shown
When the new year has come and the old year has flown?
The way to the right is a way that Is hard.
By many a troublesome wall It is barred,
But out at the end of It, over the hill, '
(There Is honor that all may share proudly who will.-
The way to the wrong is a broad, easy way
Where the ribald go rollicking day after day,
Where the dolt and the laggard go sneering at fame,
And It ends In a bog that Is scummy with shame.
There's a way to the right and a way to the wrong,
A way for the weak and a way for the strong,
And on which of these ways will your shadow be cast
When the new year begins and the old year Is past?
Selected.
iO THE ROMANS Terminu3 was a God. The limit, In time ana
space, was divine and sacred. It was sacrilege" to remove without
grave reason the ancient landmark which the fathers had set. The
end of the day, of the month, especially the close of the year were reli
giously impressive as suggesting the solemn procession of the ages.
The new year Is a time for retrJspect and anticipation. It Is a trib
ute to the native goodness of human nature, and a proof that life Is
worth living, that Now Year's Day s a joyous festival. Men must find
In the past more of good th.an evil, more happiness than misery, or
even that hope which springs eternal In the heart of man could not ex
cite pleasurable anticipation for the coming year, and the greeting "A
Happy New Year" must be abandoned as a mockery. Sour and crabbed
age, folly and remorse may point to a past of failure and wretchedness
and declare that tho year to come will be even as that which Is gone;
Tmt the commonsense of mankind asserts that If a man's, past Is wretch
red It Is his own fault, and every creature young, pure, loyal to truth and
duty sees, thru' the swinging portals of the New Year, vistas of worthy
achievement, of triumph, and of joy. To such, time Is not a Chronos, de
vouring his own children, not the remorseless one, "fierce spirit of the
glass and scythe," but time is the parent of beauty and blessing of the
past, and the herald of an Infinite good which Is to come.
What a round this life of ours is; the seasons are typical of it. Out
of tho death of the winter the returning sun commands that the stone
shall be rolled away, and the life of a new spring shall come forth.
Then, even under tho snow, the flower starts and in its darkened cham
ber It puts on its shining garments to make Its debut; leaf and bud
appear, the world takes on Us old robe of green, then bud and flower
and the blooms of trees come forth, and the sun grows warm above, then
the summer, with Its miracles, the autumn with Its harvests, then again
the wrinkles of the late autumn, the trees lose their garniture and
grow gnarled, and then again tho cold and tho winding sheet. Man
walks his rounds, oven as does the earth and In a little while is but as
the years that have fled. There is but ono hope saved from it all, which
Is that after his final winter here, the spring that will come to him will
never lose Its blooms and flowers', Its sunshine and Its joys.
, The closing year suggests to the thoughtful mind tho end of life, when
the stream of our earthly existence shall flow out into -the eternal sea.
Is not tho joyous nature of the now year festival, In this connection, a
prophecy of good, teaching us to find.
"On tho low dark verge of life,
The twilight of eternal day."
When Socrates was condemned to death by an Athenian court, ho
' said: "O, judges, be of good cheer about death, and know this of a
truth that no ov.il can happen to a good man, either in life or In
death." Hero Is tho utterance of an Invincible conviction of man's mor
al nature a conviction which transforms sorrow and misfortune into
messengers of good, and sets tho bow of promise even abovo tho tomb.
And so the bolls which ring out tho old and ring lu tho New Year aro
vocal with Impulses to nobler living. Not to tho strained, the unna
tural, tho mock-heroic, but to that simple, manly, practical typo of char
acter suggested in tho lines,
"That best portion of a good man's llfo,
His little, nameless, unremombered acts
Of kindness, and of love."
And when tho Now Year festival comes and you reflect that you are
pabslng another milestone on tho highway of time, ask yourself whether
your mental and moral growth Is toward that stato of being where
"Thy mind
Shall bo a mansion for all lovely forms,
Thy memory bo ns a dwell'ng place
For all sweet sounds and harmonies,"
A Happy Now Year to every reader of Tho Times!
UNKNOWN MISCREANT PERPE
TRATES DASTARDLY OUT.
RAGES IN NEW MAHSIIFIKLD
BUILDING HAVE CLUE TO
IDENTITY.
The contractors of the new Chand
ler hotel are the victims of two of
the most dastardly tricks that have,
been known to Coos Bay In a long'
time, and If tho effort to ascertain
the Identity of tho responsible par
ties Is successful, proper punishment
will be imposed.
About a week ago, some ono en
tered the building and with a ham
mer proceeded to pound the enamel
off the bath tubs and wash basins.
The deed was done between 5 o'clock
In the afternoon when the men quit
work and C o'clock when the night
watch begins duty. The loss falls
on Contractor Rust as he has not
completed the work and turned it
over to the owners.
Tuesday evening, between the
same hours .someone entered the
building and turned on the water on
the fourth floor and before It was
discovered the floor was flooded and
the water was leaking through Into
the floors below. The damage was'
considerable and It will cause some
delay In drying out the rooms.
There are several clues to the Iden
tity of the guilty parties and It Is
sincerely hoped that they will be
captured. It will be 'difficult to fix
adequate punishment for the crimes
which show pure, unadulterated
meanness as they could not benefit
any one but Impose loss and grief
upon others. What the motive could
be, no one has the slightest Idea.
