Will he help us to honor our glorioua age And to give forth our hearts' richest treasure? N--;d we fear thst he smiles at our credulous haste To discover the fate he's concealing? Will he jeer if before him our hopes should lie waste? Will he prove, like fair fortune, a friend double faced?

Imagine oneself in Tokyo during the New Year festivitios." writes Clar ence Marshal! Phillips in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "The first thing to attract oue's attention would be the porch decorations. Lach one is ar rayed in great ropes twisted and knot ted into amazing beauty. Pino branch is, either arched over the doors or windows, are interspersed with or anges and bordered with festoons of flowers, while to symbolize Old Age on account of his crooked back a lob ster occupies a conspicuous posltloi (referring, of course, to the old year). In fact, the most unique of displays on the Giuza are those of the lobsters, which are so skillfully arranged that the onlooker cau readily guess the meaning or 'story the arrangement was Intended to convey. "Hows of sales booths, tent shows and those features generally seen at an oriental street fair occupy two and a half miles of the street's length. Anything from a cheap fan to a costly Image of Puddha cau be bought at whatever price the moment demands. Dances allegorical of every side of life are in profusion, while the fakir is as common as in any European fair. "The real beautj- of the scene Is fur nished by the Cower booths which dot the Ginza as far as one can see. These displays are wrought Into such phe nomenal beauty that one would infer the designers to le none other than the tasteful Japanese. Odd it is how prevalent this power Is among this people. Even the proprietors of the most humble booths possess the fac ulty. The whole fair cannot be 'taken In In a few hours, but at 12 we re tire to our hotel to pass away the witching hour at which time the old year passes into the new. The frivoli ties are now toned down, and In the spell of the hush we foreigners can not help but recall the time agone when we listened while the guns boom ed fure-Ae'.r and the bells 'rang out the old. laug in the new.' The festivi ties continue the remainder of the night and the next day and until the 3d of January. The decorations are taken down on the 4th or the Cth, ac cording to local custom. From this time on to the ICth of January the business man enjoys his vacation, which is a quite essential conclusion to the New Year's gayety. After this, though, he again resumes his work, and the New Year's frolic Is jotted down on memory as a thing of the past." aztecs' H(Se hol,day' They Celebrated the New Year With Human Sacrifices. The Moody and complicated ritual of the Aztecs commemorated the return of their masterful war god, the sun. from the south, and the ceremonies carried on in Ids honor occupied a period of several days. The Initiatory rites be gan before daylight of the first morn ing, wliou the chief priest and his sub" dignitaries wended, their way in sol emn procession to the top of their greatest pyramidal sanctuary. Here the high priest retired alone to a small temple, whose doorway opened toward the east, and as the rising sun crimson ed and purpled the serrated mountains he knelt and sprinkled thickly upon the t!i:irMe floor the sacred meal. Aw the first rays of the newborn sun strike slantingly across the floor of the tiny temple the bended pr'est beholds a miracle. Faintly at first, then strong er and stronger, grows an imprint in the meal of the naked foot of their war od. Upon this miraculous-manifesta tion the high priest announces to tue assembled couriers that their god has retrmed to them and that the grnnd festal occasion is inaugurated. Unhappily the first feast rites were of a grtv:oine and horrible nature, consisting mainly in sacrificing youths to the g''K It is said th:?t they were feasted for days previous to the cere mony that they might be in a whole- some .-UK! f.H'.-isiug condition upon mew- last and the war god's fir.t great day. In other ceremonies humau beings were killed and fl-'iyed. and the partici pants in the sa'-rifire enveloped ihem- elves in the bloody skins of the vic tims, while ili"y took part m a wua i" in-:' ii ii v ibtiiee While the observance, of " the new year among tne .z;ecs seemingly pre dominated in bloody rites, tney were mot likely confined to the religious or- dr of priests, and the great mass of v people. v. iMi no taint of blood on their hands, might be happy and revel in the feast of the new year. New York Her.-H. How i .itn Travels. When St. raid's strikes noon on Jan. 1. W.i. the new year will coine Into being somewhere In the Pacific ocean, on .1 line following iongituae ISO eavi. which is exacly opposite Greenwich meridian on the other sidr of the glr.be. ( I eogra pliers draw the line to avoid passing through any of the Pacific islands, for if it did the times and days of the Inhabitants would be hopelessly muddled. Vanua, one of the Fiji islands, for instance, would be otherwise divided by the line where the days and years begin and end. so that while it would be Jan. 1 on the western side It would be Vec. 31 a few paces away on the east of the Hue. One could thus walk Into yesterday Mid a moment later re turn tomorrow! How the new year travels is curi ously illustrated by Its passage across Groat ISritain. It reaches Greenwfch, as the time center, at midnight, exact ly twelve hours after It started. Sev enteen minutes later it gets to Glas gow, and another six minutes pass be fore the new year has captured Pen zance. Tnese are tne true times ior these places, though Greenwich time is the one accepted. Cut Ireland is proud in possession of her own chro nology, and it will be 12:25 at night In Loudon before 190'J reaches Dub lin. Loudon Chronicle. New Year Superstitions. It Is considered a sure sign of death to see one's own shadow in the moon light on New Year's eve. You court misfortune by leaving the house on New Year before some one has entered it. You must hope for the luck, moreover, of having the first to enter a dark haired man. Seeking to know what good or evil the New Year would bring, superstitious people in the long ago girt themselves with swords and sat on the roof of their houses on New Year's eve. They also knelt at the crossroads (on a cow hide) for the same purpose. The first thing brought, one might think, would be pneumonia. It Is bad luck to carry anything out of the house on the New Year before something has been brought In. But the best luck of all, which even those most scornful of portents may not despise, is to begin the New Year owing no man a cent. Philadelphia Press. The Jewish New Year. In striking opposition to the spirit of joy and happiness which pervades Christendom generally is the New Year of the Jews. With the Jews, who also observe the New Year for two days, the days are not days of feasting and enjoyment, but days of judgment. According to the belief of every orthodox Jew, every member of the Jewish race is tried on the New Year. The books kept In heaven are opened on that day. The record of each man for the year just ending is looked through and taken under advisement for ten days. On the tenth day, the day of atonement, the fate of each man for the coming year is drawn up, wneiner ne snouiu live or die, prosper or be poor. On the day of atonement the fate is sealed and nothing can change it any more. Chicago Tribune. A NEW LEAF. He came to niv lip desk with a quivering The lesson was done.

I A Y.ptc C Sweet to Est bUA wU O ACitfylmlUuttvfc Editorial Short-Stops form the Dur ham Herald. South Boston goes dry and that means more or less trouble for Dur ham folks. The legislature at least has about as much excuse for doing: nothing as it has ever had. If the politicians can find nothing for the legislature to do it will indeed have a dull time of it. ' Senator Foraker is another man who went after the President's scalp and thought he had it. Senator Foraker put up a pretty sorry fight for a man who is supposed to be one of the big ones. If the President ever finds out ex actly how it is we are betting that Judge Adams does not get it. If they keep extending the lines we will not be able to send in our order and get the stuff the same day. When the whiskey folks helped to put the negro out of politics there is where they dropped their candy. The fellow who really wants it for medicine is taking chances if he drinks the kind of stuff he can get. We are iust the least bit glad that Mr. Foraker did not get out until he was convinced that he was beaten. Certainly we should be able to en brce our State laws without tbe as sistance of Federal revenue doodlers. We should not make laws and then expect the Federal officers to enforce them. The county officers want to get busy. Havinjr to lav in jail in the mean time the Coopers will perhaps be ready for trial when court comes around. Of course they can get it, but then the man who is going to have it any- iow does not want to be psivecl irom limself. If Virginia towns keep on going dry we will have to put up with any kind of stuff the blind tigers ha ve a mind to give us. If we believed that prohibition was right we would not be worrying for a minute as to whether or not it was likely to hurt the party. For the President's part in downing Senator Forker we should be willing to forgive much that we have been holding against nun. When we see that so many of the towns in Virginia do not want it we also wonder why so many saloons were able to keep going. It is iust as much the duty of the countv officials to enforce the prohi- bition laws in tne country as id is ior the police to do it in the towns. When thev start out to make trou ble for the President they do not want to forget that he is something of a trouble maker on his own ac count. If South Boston does not want it she has the riprht to say so but. she is turning Durham a shabby trick. We were depending on her in a way when we voted it out. The man who knows anything about it should know that now is not an opportune time to attempt to force anything on the party that the party does not want. Prohibition has been put on the State and very few of us are going to live to see it taken off. If you doubt this you might refer to the history of other prohibition States. A Rank Proposition. Charlotte Eyening Chrouicle. It was published in this paper yes terday that "the Raleigh Good Gov ernment League has just evolved and adopted a proposed charter which it is to ask the Legislature, at the ap proaching session, to pass as appli cable not only to Raleigh, but to every town in the State having 10, 000 and more population. It provides for the selection, by primary system, of a mayor and four councilmen, whose terms of office shall be two years with possibility of second term only; the counsel and mayor to have authority to select other officers and fix compensation. petition signed by one-fourth of the qualified voters can force an election on the removal of any . elective officer ami call for the passage of any specific ordi nance." That's it. By all means, let us have government and then some more government from Raleigh. If this thing keeps up, it will soon come to pass that every town in the State will lie under absolute government from Kaleigh. In time, an order may even issue therefrom requiring com pulsory attendance at church and later the designation of the one par ticular church to attend. The prop ostiou for one charter to govern all the towns in the State is manifestly absurd. The conditions that prevail in one town do not obtain in another, and a charter that would suit one commuuity would be unfit and un satisfactory for another. The sensi ble plan is for each town to get up a charter best fitted to cover the proper management cf its own affairs, as Charlotte and High Foint are pro posing to do. Local option is denied the State, but certainty home govern ment should not be denied the people. The proposition to pass a law for all the towns just like. Raleigh has is a rank one.

A X The Straight of It. Chariot te Chronicle. For some time past, rnmor has been buy with the Carolina, Clinch field & Ohio road and its plans and to get tit the straight of the matter, the Chronicle made direct application to Mr. M. J. Caples, the general man ager, ut Johnson City. It asked him for enlightenment on three points, the character of which is indicated by his replies. In a letter under date of the 23th totheeditor of theCT&roD icle, Mr. Caples says: 1 "We expect to begin doing business with the Seaboard Air Line at Bostic early in February, 1909. C, C. & O. freight trains will not run beyond Uostic, but will deliver freight to the Seaboard Air Line at that point. "it is expected that passenger ser vice will be in operation to Bostic not later than February 1, 1909. It has not yet been determined whether or not C, C. & O. trains will go be yond Bostic or will merely connect at that point with the SeaboBrd Air Line. "No decision has been made as yet as to Pullman service, but Pullman service will nndoubtedly be installed shortly after the opening of the road for through business, but definite dates have not been decided upon in This makes it alrclear enough. The passenger service of the C, C. & O. will be extended to Bostic by Feb ruary 1, as was stated iii the Chron icle a few days ago. At that time the C, C. fc O. train may connect with the Seaboard, or may be run through to Charlotte and Wilming ton, but that will be done later on when the through Pullman car ser vice to Cincinnati will be put on, which will be early in the spring. The CI inch field coal fields will be opened up to Charlotte and all points on the Seaboard next month. This official information will be received with much satisfaction by the people in terested and they inhabit a large portion of North Carolina. , - ..-. If your Stomach, Heart, or Kidneys are weak, trv at least, a few doses only of Dr. Shoop's Restorative. In five or ten days only, the result will surprise you. A few cents will cover the cost. And here is why help comes so quickly. Dr. Shoop's doesn't drug the stomach, nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to the weak and failing nerves. Each organ has its own controlling nerve. v hen these nerves fail, the depending organs must of necessity falter. This plain, yet vital truth, clearly tells why Dr. Shoop's Restora tive is so universally successful. Its success is leading druggists everywhere to give it universal preference. A test will surely tell. Sold by all dealers. Pension Business Overworked. Norfolk Virffinian-Pilot. Nobody objects to pensions so long as and provided that payments are confined to deserving cases. But there is serious objection to abuse of the system as carried on by Congress in the matter of private pension bills. As a general rule, appeals to Congress are only made after applica tion has been made through the regu lar channels and turned down be cause of lack of merit. The extent of this scandalous abuse is illustrated by the fact that one thousand private pension bills were introduced in Con gress on the first day of the present session. Small wonder that our pen sion payments do not decline, despite th fact that Union soldiers are dying off at the rate of forty thousand a vear. There is no case on record of a cough, cold or la grippe developing into pneumonia after Foley's Honey and Tar has been taken, as it cures the most ohstinate deep seated coughs and colds.

Pittsburg Post. Headache Every Month You may think, because you have long bad it, that yon must have a headache every month, being a women.
