ii ik? Aaaaal Obiarraae*
Tbeie is qo record of ho* Ion? Adam
and Eve remained in the Garden of
EdtD before they fell into that historic
error from tne effects of which we are
all of us sufferiog. If it was more
than twelve months, however, It is safe
to say they spent some part of the 31st
of December in looking baoa over the
period and regretting some things left
undone and some others done. And
this, not forgetting that they still lived
in the Garden of Eden. If they were
ordered away before the first year was
rounded out then we can all understand
how the whole of the 31st of December
was spent by them? looking up at tbe
bUnk wa:!s and sullen gates. And all
the children of that unhappy couple
havesj.eot each recurring last day of
the long procession of years since in
that same way. Indeed it was lately
tbe fashion to prejoh this as the thing
to do, an excellent practice whereby
th-j errors of (he pist might be avoid
ed for fie ye-?r to ome. But quite re
cently newer styles have oeen invent
ed la the matter of thinking and of
gtvloR advice. It is no longer good
form to be dismal. Nowadays folks
who make a business of advising other
fglKs as to the better ways of life affect
to s -e tn jre oiearly than the s-ntimen
talists who ordered and directed things
s iiC." A'Um down to within a few
years. They warn us against looking
backward at a! I. The very second that
has just ticked itself into the past i?
gone, they say, beyond roilHil, forever,
and he who spends its successor, the
priceless present, (n mourning its loss
or i'8 misuse, looks out apoa the won
derful manifestations o 1 ttu?? creator's
unfathomable scheme tbrouga the eyes
of ? fool .
The pr?MDt-dfty fashion in thioking
is disposed to find justioe where lnju<
' tlce appears, beoause the jumble of the
stirs that vexed and worried the build*
era of the tower of Babel his been re
solved; most of them have b>eo defi
nitely located as faever out of reach?
and so disposed of. Deduction has fol
lowed from the substantial stars to the
Insubstantial soul, and where confusion
was once taken for granted, sow moth?
od is assumed as quite as cortaia. Men
look cheerily forward and ooramit the
o'd year to his grave, vrlth proper re?
spect to be sure, but more as part of ft
system-perfect than aa though the
bearded old gentleman was carrying
tales with him that, being repeated in
some other clime, were oaloulated to
get moitof us damned.
The new svstem work* something
like this: There was no panic In 1907
?we escaped it. There was no war,
not even an alarm of *ar. worth con
sidering, in 1907? we escaped it. There
was no bubonic plague on the west
coast in 1907? we escaped it. And so
on, down the line. And as for 1938 ?
be carries notbln ; in his two strong
hands, ohild or man, that we dare not
go down the road to meet.
And Eve?? her song Is attuned to the
same spirit. Her voice was beard in a
verse or two appearing as the Alas
kan's daily poem a few days ago, Io
an opening stanza she admitted the
case against her? a thing she should
not have done? but declared at the fin
ish a New Year truth which ftll men
already know. It ran '.hu?:
Oh Adam, Lord of mit, lift up thine
eves;
I yet shall lead thee bick to Paradise.
THEY W/WT THE STRAKSE MS NEW
There's a race or uien that don't fit in,
A racc that cau't stay (till;
So they break the heart of kith and
kin,
And they roam the worJd at wUl;
They range the Sola au:1 they rov# the
flocd,
And they climb themountalo'icreat:
Theirs is the curse of glp?y blood,
And ihey don't know how to rest.
If they jim went R:r?ight they might
go far;
They are strong nod brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things
that are,
And they want the strange and new.
?From the Spoil of the Yukon?
