e spake,**My good resolutions I must make.For with every new year it devolvesOn me to make some fresh resolves.Now, of late, Ive heard many people scoldBecause Ive persisted in making them old.And as by their sorrow my heart is wrung,Ill resolve hereafter to make them young.Theres another thing at which they rebel,—They often say, angrily, Time will tell!So I now resolve that I never againWill tell a thing to mortal men.And then they have placed me under a banBecause Tide and I will wait for no man.Now, of course, for Tide I can not speak.But hereafter Ill wait for a man a week.Then there are some who think it wrongBecause so slowly I drag along;So Ill resolve to hasten my gaitAnd hurry on at a rapid rate.But there are others who arc downcastBecause, they say, I fly so fast!Oh, deary me! What can I do?I cant go fast and slowly too.Well, the resolutions these pcoj)le make,The very next day theyre sure to break.The whole thing a useless farce I call,And I think I wont make any at all!

Maxims for the New Year. ^ A man is known by the resolutions he keeps. A little New Year is a dangerous thing. Celebration is the thief of time. Only a fool never minds his change. \ The patient restaurant waiter is no loser. j A bird in the hand is as good as a feast. Money makes the time go. One touch of New Years makes the whole world kin. Abstinence will happen in the best-regulated families. One swallow does not make the world go round. A fool and his money corrupt good manners. A rolling gait gathers remorse. Let us eat, drink, and be married, for to-morrow we dye. January 1-2, 1909 THE TUTOR A TUTOR who tooted the flute, Tried to teach two young tutors to toot;Said the two to the tutor,* Is it harder to toot orTo tutor two tooters to toot ? THE 4:04 TRAIN I ^HERES a train at 4 : 04, said Miss Jenny;* Four tickets Ill take. Have you any? Said the man at the door :* Not four for 4 : 04,For four for 4 : 04 is too many/ Fri.
