SOME PREDICTIONS.

me week between Christmas and
New Years day finds most of us in a
retrospective state of mind. The
pause in activities after the Christmas
rush gives time for a review of the
past months; gives us time to consider
il after all, the old year has not
brought us more of pleasure than OF
sorrow. And these reflections at ts.@
years end as rule drive out the last
remaining bit of pessisism in the sys-
tenn and start us on the new year with
optimistic resolutions. Thus one is in
the state of mind to see humor, rather
than tragedy, in the list of predictions
Nor the next year just given out by Lee
Y Spangler, of York, Pa, who has
broken into print before as noroscop-
lst and forecaster He says;
The end of the world, in the end of
The month Of December, on a Sunday.
Nineteen Hundred and Eight will be
a year of trouble such as was never
known before.
Nation shall rise against nation
There shall be famines and pesti-
Slences and earthquakes
Rivers will dry up.
The fish of the sea will die.
The sea will boil up with great
aoise.
Islands will pass away.
The city of Boston will sink.
New York will go up in smoke.
People will flee to the mountains
The banks will keep on failing
! Roosevelt will get rid of all his
money.
The treasury will go dry.
People will carry their money in
their pockets and hide it in their
houses.
Families will steal it from one an
other. This is the gold that is piled
up for the last day. This gold will,
rust in your pockets. 1t vii lgive you
more trouble than good.

You can't always believe what you
read in books. even if it is in one of
Shakespeare's The other day New
York man, reading of the death of the
king in Hamlet through poisoned
connection being poured into his ear,
thought to duplicate the feat by using
molten lead. Instead of being taken
to the morgue, he was taken to a
hospital, and instead of dying, like the
king, the best he got out of his ex-
perience was a lot of pain and the
loss of his hearing.

Labor organizations will come under

There is a disposition to feel after
reading Mr.. Spangler's list of coming
casualties that ne should see liver
specialist. But perhaps we should not
Judge too hastily. He may be reliev-
ing himself of the bile in his system
in one fell swoop, preparatory to
starting the new year WITH clean
slate.
The official reports from York do
not state such to be the case, but
there is just a suspicion that before
Mr. Spangler took to horoscoping he
was baseball umpire, and formed
mis- gloomy views of life while duck
ing pop bottles from the bleachers.

Boston constable served

A Boston constable served war
rant for arrest on a tenor during a
rendition of "Il Trovatore" just as
the singer was sounding the trouba-
dour's love song.
The constable evidently not famil-
lar with grand opera, took the tenor';
passionate love song as an indicat-
ion of sickness, and fastened to serve
the warrant before the singer died.
