Like giants eager for the race.
Our English nations are.
O. New Year, let thy record trace
In peace their fortunes star.
For petty spite, nor lust of gain.
Loose hand now clasped in hand
Whose commerce covers every MAIN
Advancing every land.
Brothers and sons DER all the world.
One tongue-today one speech
Wars flag shall be the last unfurled,
Loves flag the first for each.

125 barrels of oil daily.
Mr.. Roome received $4,000 cash

A Chicago astrologer, j. +.
Baumgart, reads in the stars that
Judge Parker will be elected Pres
ident. Here is his forecast:
President Roosevelt was nomi-
mated on June % at 1:19 p. m.
Chicago standard time.
Judge Parker was nominated
July 9 at $50 a. m, at St. Louis,
Mo.
It would be unsafe to choose a
winner without a careful examina-
ton of the individual horoscopes
of the candidates, their time OF
birth not being accurately known.
A comparison of the horoscopes
made for the moment each candi-
date was nominated shows some
interesting facts.
President Roosevelt was nomi-
mated under conditions that are
evil and conflicting. There are
strong indications that religious
agitation of some kind will play
an important part in the cam
paign, and that foreign influences

.vious campaigns will play an I'M
portant part, and may seriously
impair the prospects of the Repub-
lican candidate, if not actually de-
feat him.
The Democratic horoscope ap-
pears the more fortunate of the
two, and favors the election of
Judge Parker. The party will be
seriously annoyed by treacherous
and incompetent subordinates,
and will be seriously harassed by
underhanded schemes and secret
tactics.
The Presidents horoscope
shows serious affections the pres
ent year, and will have strong
opposition to contend with. Fur
thermore. both candidates were
nominated under conditions in
which the eccentric and erratic
planet Uranus plays an important
part. There are strong probable
tiles that the campaign will de-
velop conditions which will upset
all calculations, resulting in a
