This went on for several weeks and
Joe had several times been on the verge
of asking for her address that he might

were such large places, and the con-

acted SO differently from the church
folk at home that he finally got in the
habit of staying away. He sorely missed
his town acquaintance, the compan-
ionship of his sisters and brothers and
the bright smile of Cousin Fan, who
used to pop in so unexpectedly and
leave such volume of sunshine behind

town to do his marketing. The girls

According to the data the zodiacal
sign Aquarius, which Uranus rules, was
rising at your birth, therefore Uranus
is your ruling planet or significator.
The sign Pisces, which Jupiter rules,
was intercepted ON ascendant, there
fore Jupiter is co-significator. You are
of medium height; medium to light
complexion, hair and eyes; when young
your hair was flaxen; you will grow
stouter as you advance in years; you
are reserved in your manners, yet quito
busy talker; you are inclined to in
vestigate any of the occult and mys-
FERROUS forces in nature; you are a
seeker after truth no matter where you
find it; you are naturally an advanced
thinker, and was born with kind of
knowledge which you never had to
study to learn; you just know many
things without ever having had to
study them, and if asked to explain
how you knew this or that you could
not tell where it came from; you feel
and know things in advance. If you
would thoroughly understand this it
could be made valuable to you. Saturn
will make an evil transit for you soon.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1897-01-27

According to the data furnished, the
aodlacal sign, Scorpio, which Mars
rules, was rising at your birth, there
fore Mars'is your ruling planet or sig
nificator.
You are medium height, with a we'll
set figure, and will grow stouter as you
grow Older. Your complexion, hair
and eyes, medium; the eyes have rath-
or a sharp, piercing sight. You are
very energetic and ambitious, do not
like opposition, and will display quite
a spirited temper at times; you are o
leader, and have the ability to execute
plans in a creditable manner; you are
fond CT soldiers, fireman, surgeons, all
manner Of military parades, news etc.
If a war would como you would like to
90 and be right at the front Of the
battle; you would make a good sur
'geon. You have far better command
of language than this sign usually de-
notes. Your husband is, or will be,
peculiar temperament, and rather hard
to understand, and marriage will only
be trihe over average fortunate You
are under both good transit of Jupiter
and an evil transit Of Saturn.

the other world are supposed TO re-
quire and to be capable Of receiving
money in this way but the ChInaman
Is far too practical person to part in
such fashion with the currency Of the
empire. Instead he buys for few
cash" a large supply OF silvered and
giided pieces OF paper. or Of imitation
coins blocked out OF cardboard. AL
though these have no purchasing pow
err on earth. they are supposed TO count
for much In the transactions OF the
spirit world. BY this practice, one Is
reminded Of an old story OF miser
who left his belongings to his son on
condition that certain sum OF money
should be buried In the coffin with him.
The son was, however, a chip OF the
old block and carried out his fathers
wishes by placing In the coffin crossed
check for the required amount, assured
that It had little chance Of being pre-
sented at his banker's.-Chamber
