That is perhaps why New Year resolutions are so often futile. The strong do not wait for high days and holy days to amend their conduct or carry out their resolves. They obey Goethe's dictum: Seize this very minute, x Boldness has genius, power and y magic in it" And so It happens that the large army of peo-- . who wait for the flew Year before ' apiereformation in their llvea are seldom effecting success- ful in carrying out their intentions.. They arei-n- ot possessed of the spirit 6f energy and resolution necessary to achievement, it may that it is better to make good resolutions, even though, the are not carried out, than not to make them at alt Thlr is open to question, however. Unless one is absolutely determined to do what one has decreed, it Is perhaps on the whole better not to make promises to oneself. Unfulfilled resolves continually repeated, tend to weaken the character, and to reduce ones faith in oneself. Just as resolutions put into practice - are conducive to strength and Very little tends to overbalance the resolutions of the average person. In fact, many people welcome any oxcuse to exonerate them from the carrying out of their resolvea One individual determines, let us say, never to lose bis temper. He comes down on New Years morning-wita set smile on hie face. Alas! It is h short-live- . The whole world seems in conspiracy to drag him back to his former frame of mind. The coffee la cold, the letters which look so alluring prove to be chiefly bills and begging epistles, be falls over the doorstep as he leaves the bouse. All these minor annoyances, which, if rightly met. would have helped him to conquer his weakness, serve but to throw him back into his. original state, and before evening he Is as bad a ever he bee been. . jl mnuc'jYzv' tzars zvzi&vzc. Or, take another very general New Year resolution, that of getting up at a "certain time . in the morning. When the day dawns, any reason whatever Is grasped at to evade this. The weather Is too cold, the alarm was not loud enough, he Is sure his watch Is fast, he doesnt really . feel well enough to risk getting up earlier than usual, and, after all, he asks himself, is there any real reason why he should? A thousand-and-on- e excuses the average individual will make to himself rather than perform what he has designed 1 to do. The world la full cf wobblers of this kind, and the more they wobble the weaker they become. Another reason perhaps why the average resolution-makers so seldom achieve their purpose is that they attempt too much. They make two, three, sometimes six resolutions at once, whereas tp carry through- - one' resolution successfully is quite an admirable feat. As Thomas a Kempls says: THE FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION E MAUPASSANT, describing an officer, said that Just to look at him made one feel martial. He did not aay Warlike or bellicose; the Idea' be wished to convey was much more subtle. In the presence of this officer one assumed the military attitude of mind and body. . This Is a phenomenon that escapes the attention of most people women, however, observe it Practically every nonmilitary man at the sight of a well aet up, fully accoutred soldier instinctively assumes something of a military bearing. . And when the drums roil and a marching column of soldiers flames into view the civilian involuntarily throws back bis shoulders and steps out with a tense, measured tread. The ordinary regiment becomes more military to the pret. And aa with civilians, ao with soldiers. ence of the crack regiment The crack regiment Itself gains something more when In proximity to a detachment of troops of heroic, almost legendary, fame, such aa the Foreign Legion. The Legionaries handle campaigns pf their own. and. probably no body of troops has ever done such constant and arduous campaigning. But France over and over again has need them also as leaven among other troops They stiffen the mass, and men emulate their actions.
