way there U little doubt that cele
bi a lions ol aii sorts in our prosperous
City louay will not be duplicated one

like the piopostd change and then
again it may not. It is noticeable
that quite a number of those who
worked ana volea against old king
booze in the recent election are pay
ing court to him today with appar
ent devotion. The humon heart with
its motives and inconsistence is hard
to understand sometimes.
The New Year's resolution has a
6.. rious anu t comical side. Probably
he Inuer times from the fact that
so ntany dtiily adopted resolutions
ate light-.)' lioken. Many a person
beg ii3 the year with solemn pledges
Pot to ib ms, cat, smoke, or spend too
much, and not a few of those start
ing out so earnestly towards a belter
life fall by the wayside before the first
week is up. Hence comes the humor
ist and his perennial Jokes about the
Ntw Vear'3 resoution.
There was a time, however, when
the peldge at the beginning of the
New Year was a very serious matter
involving the life of the man who
bound himself. Hike all of our cus
toms and habits the New Year’s res
olution is derived from the usag i of
long ago and if we trace it back we
aha 11 come to the Norsemen at their
principal feast. Those strong, fero
cious people celebrated the Hist of
each year with a feast at which the
boar's head was the chief dish. It
was the custom in those days 30 near
y blotted from our memory by the
mists of time for all the free-born
men to take a pledge on this day to
accomplish some great deed during the
year just beginning. He might swear
to kill a king, conquor an enemy or
steal a wife. He did not have tc
tell the nature of his oath but wav
expected to make one. Then he, in
company with others of his station
in life, drew his dagger and plung 'd
It to the hilt in the bear’s head which
had been brought in for the feast.
As he drove his dagger home he
called on the god’s Odin, Tiw, Thor
and the rest to bear wtness that if
he did not keep hij oath and accom

ou.conic of his oath, however, was that
he accomplished his object or died in

serious days. Bide by side with

a h gn sense of personal honor and a
