in life. The future.career of 1906 depend much on the start given the Zrth of January. The disposition rt "temper of the year may be rained ly unwise and inconsiderate treat- It should be taught during the north of January to keep its little Jootatepaln the straight and narrow path; to say "please" when it wants anything and "thank you" when it is xedpient of a favor. It should be taught not to tip over its bowl of milk the table and to wait until its elders helped, and not to reach and help itself. We have seen many a young and tender year spoiled in the beginning of its' career by too much indulgence.

There will be no picnic weather in January, no daisies pied and violets Wne, or tulip bods of scarlet hue, no jobms nesting in the trees, or blue- hirds swinging in the breeze. Ethereal mildness will not come or blossom on the hills, by gum! The bursting will not be seen, but busted pipes I ween. We will not see in idows fair the butter-cup or cowslip there, but though 11 nob De qni'te so nice, we'll aee the cow slip on thei ice. 1 really think, twixt you atlng in the tubjecu that they condescend to Miw Harding thanked- her uncle wannly.

she sat down to advise her friend, Mr. enthusiastic collector of curios, other prize. "I really'hope you have an imperial dragon," said, Mr Green when ho calleO the next afternoon "0, I have," she "There's no doubt about that!" Mr. Green smiled skeptically. "You are smiling," she remarked, slightly piqued, "even before you have seen the dragon Is there anything hu mprpus about thft Idea of an Imperial depends upon the Imperial dragon," he retorted.

'A' friend. of had an imperial dragon that ia, he thought It was an Impwlal dragon until we began, to count Its toes. There was one toe too many and that settled the nob'illtrof Mr. Dragon, It takes' only four toes to make up the foot of an imperial dragon, while five toes make up the foot of the ordinary run of dragons. A dragon of royal lineage gets along very.nicely on four toea; presumably It rides more and walks less than Its common brethren." There was-no question', about It; Green was up in dragons as well as In everything else.

Mlss-Harding's heart sunk as she crossed the room to count tho toes of the royal beast's foot. "1 am vary, sorry," sighed. Green, "but it have been so much better If your uncle a four- toed dragon; It would have put your dragon on a footing with the nobility. Made it toe the mark, so 'to speak." Her mood did not lend Itaelf to the enjoyment of hie poor pun. She tried to argue" the question, insisting that her uncle's long residence in China would have saved him from having committed such a stupid error.

"It ought to have done so, but it didn't," declared Green, smiling but nrm. "An extra toe is an awkward an imperial dragon!" In the end the skeptical Green hafc his way and the dragon went to wjfat Miss Harding called "Green's lajjdiiTg," which is the place where sent a host of other curios lit had proved base LOOKING BACKWARD Brief Resume of the Past Year, as Recorded In the Dally Free Press Hannah Wilklni. -100 old, ririta daoghter, Bfat.
