In one of the large downtown build

art Of bootblacking holds forth with
considerable pecuniary success. In
the same build lg a lawyer, whose
fame as a performer in the multisyl-
ables has spread abroad to every court
in the vicinity, and it is alleged of him
that on one occasion, when he rose to
make a plea upon a reconcile subject
before Judge. himself somewhat
famed for eruditiOn, the court sum
moned an attendant, to whom he has
tily whispered:
Bring me an encyclopedia, a die
tionary, Greek and Latin leXicons and
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, and put
them down here on the floor. Mr..
Blank is going to speak,
In his way, Caesar, the professor Of

language and great in his admiration
for the lawyer on this account. On the
day before Christmas the lawyer
climbed up on Caesars gOrgeously dec
grated chair, and, while his shoes Wee
being polished said:

Two days later the lawyer presented

Astrology Is Not Lost Science Re
ceiVeS New Life.
EVERY Year Adding New Students
TO This Old Birthday and
Other Predictions for the Com
ing Week According to Astrology.

BY Prof, Macdonald, Binghamton. n. Y.
Wise people seek to solve all mys-
ferrous phenomena The unwise deny
it's existence or call it supernatural and
let it alone If all men were to allow
ridicule and denial to stop their in
vestigations the progress Of the world
would soon stand STILL
AstrOlogy is not destined to become
a lost science. 1t is now receiving
new life and there are powerful ele-
ments at work that will restore it to
the place where it belongs. Every
year IS adding thousands OF students
and like chemists, physicians and
mechanics, they are discovering some
thing new every day.
1t is impossible that the long list
of the most prominent men of the ages
were believers in absurdities. They
were men of great intellect and after
careful investigation and years OF
study were believers from their posi-
tive knowledge. No man is competent
to criticise the science OF astrology
until he has thoroughly studied it, ana
study Of the science Will abundantly
repay all such effort.
The fact will soon impress the stu
dent that there is a marvellous con-
nection between the planets and hu-
man life. 1t is as difficult to give sat-
isfactory reasons for this celestial in
fiuence as it is to explain various
other natural phenomena. NeVerthe-
less the influence Of the planets is an
old established and demonstrable fact
as observed for over ten thousand
years.
The following are the birthday and
other predictions for the coming week.

4 Most Pleasant Evening

By far the most pleasant social
event given this summer and one
of the most enjoyable affairs that
has ever taken place in this city
was the party given by the "boys
Of Ocala" at the beautiful resi-
dence of Hon. and Mrs. r. A.
Burford last night. The house
was tastefully decorated, and
following the refreshing Show
ers, the evening was very pleas
ant. Mrs. Burford was assisted
in entertaining by Mrs. +. f..
Harris and Miss Sue Anderson
and Miss Mary BWford. The
evening was spent IN divers
ways; some in dancing and play
ing games, while others, more
romantic, rather inclined to the
vine clad retreats of vrrauda and
lawn.
Most delicious refreshments
were served III great abundance
during the evening, comprising
all of the delicacieS OF the sea-
son.
The guests were entertained
throughout the evening by vocal
and instrumental music, and also
