Such a headache! ¥ Well! How do they feel the next day? O! It is awful! And the mention of—well, that is the unkindest cut of all! It reminds one of water, and what a number. of them wished, when they awakened in 190, that they had stayed with the harmless but scothing drink. After the din of the izharmonious horn and-the exhilarating dreams, resultant from a promenade along the line with the good fellows, came the awakening! Who can say that it was not terrible? Who can argue, after scanning the register at the City Prisbn or the big book at the Receiving. Hospital, whether- this is the llwenilem century or the windup of some other old cen- ury ? What a headache! E The cool rain came as a welcome solace to the suf- fering. The fcy drops from heaven cooled more than one fevered brow, but something more was needed to make a new year happy for those who celebrated for all that there was in it. Those parched tongues needed some at- people New Year's day was not as happy as New Years eve. It.was so different! . 3 Careless of the future and.regardless of what the day would bring, the rounders and the shouters and the horn- tooters did not figure on the morning.. And when it came —there is that well ‘again—they were. not fh a fit condi- tion to do any caloulating. % . 4 . With the awakening; with a full realization of 'the : ‘conditions that had.produced that-awful feeling and with a knowledge of what might stave It off in -the future, came the dawn of the new century hand in hand with the good resolutions. g And they blush! 2 Resolutions ‘made for the day and the cccasion,. And what for the morrow? Just wait for the end of 1300. Then it will be’ done all over again! _Everything seemed. funny yesterday to the man who had not celebrated. The poor -fellow with that awful feehna. the man with that look of repentance and the individual who gave every evidence that he wished that he hadn’t, were objects to excite the comment and stir the merriment fn th 1 7 Ren PEvineet B o Sauls of fhote ko Mat With the New Ce@‘rifut;y;. i : i : i $ tention.

Al- The Mayor has not only tarned down Gavin McNab, but Charlle Fay, the Mayor's messenger, has also been called to time and has been told that many of his claims to:patrovage were out of pro- portion _to his services.
