We've been pretty good friends, haven't we?—known each other pretty well, gone along quite a distance together, and Goodbye, had a good many experiences during our 12 months We never We've No, we're, not going, to mention all of them have told anybody, smiled, and we've had to, cry Everything hasn't been what it ought to be, You know that. We don’t feel really satisfied, but that wasn't your fault, It's just as if we went through the gate up to the big tree and picked Whatever apples we wanted, and maybe it's our own fault if We got the wormy ones. Anyway, you've been a faithful old mister, too.. Goodbye! And here's 1908! bd You're precious littleselse than a baby, young one. You're out all by yourself to live for just 12 busy, hurrying months We may as well own up—we don’t know what you're going to grow into. We've seen little years like you before. Some times we thought they were going to—well, they didn’t turn Perhaps that was our fault, too. Maybe we can do bétter now, many others. Well, and maybe there isn’t any use now some, too, exactly and a friend, since we've tried with so come on into the hofise, Don't know what you'll find there. An old chap who's going away has left it rather torn up. Put your trunk there in front of the closet where | the old clothes are: We've been intending to nail that door up. The room isn’t very warin. The carpet has holes in it, and two or three of the window panes are We've been tfeaning to fix those, too, but somehow we didn’t. Guess the room does need a good sweeping: It's been a long time since it was really clean. Not much to sit on, the furniture seems rather ramshackle select that furniture very wisely. Still, come on in. We'll see what we can do, And—you're welcome. eee - STATE HAS POPULATION OF OVER ONE MILLION By United iin s sila OLYMPIA, Jan. 1—The report of bureau of statistics shows missing. is there ?—~and Looks like we didn’t 'Diantnd, 1,800 te ot 2,000, Centralia, 6,000; Olympla, 16,000; Port Townsend, that Washington has a population ¢.600- Port Orchard, $00; Puyallup, Of 1,458,998.
