PARTISAN FUTURE
PEPPERS DISAGREE

Paris has two Future
Peppers. Nine de Thebes
is one of the readers Of the
stars and NJ. Nebo is the
other. They have about
come to the verge of blows
over what is to happen to
us during this year. One
is sure to pick a winner.
They have announced total
ly opposite events.
Nine. de Thebes, who call
ed 1909 a red year" and
said numerous catastrOphes
would arrive in the guise of
earthquakes and the like,
predicts peace on earth and
good will during 1910. Nebo
says she is off her trolley;
there won't be any such
thing. He says the world
will strike a very stormy
period along about Septem-
Der and that if one doesn't
watch out therell be a war
which is a war. In fact the
whole year will be a trou-
bled one. but the bulk of
the trouble will land on us
about hickory nut time and
there'll be such an over
flow of it. it won't stop
until along in the buckle
berry season of 1911.
Nebo says he isn't four
flusher and in substantial
ton of his claim to being
; all aces, puts forward a
) long line of events which
) he foretold. He foretOld the
) exact date of the Russo
) Japanese treaty; the wine
) riots of southern France;
the date of the France-Ger-
man complication over the
Casablanca affair; and then
some.
Nine de Thebes or Mon
sieur Nebo? Which is right?
It's a cinch one or the other
will hit it since there will
be wars or there won't be.
But on one point the tellers
of 1905 fortune agree:
There's cataclysm await
ing us on May II when Hal
ley's comet switches us in
the face with it's frey tail.
Both say We'll get singed in
horrible fashion, dying off
in multitudes like rats in a
burning barn.

Dusky Helen Wanted Police
Quickly and She Got
Them.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Things
are usually pretty dull around the
Brooklyn police headquarters, and
that's the reason the telephone
operator lost his ennui when an eX-
cited female shouted over the wire
that murder was being committed
at 435 Hudson avenue.
Now the duties of the police tele-
phone operator in such cases are
clearly laid out in the book of rules,
and the operator obeyed to the let
ter. The result was that, in a
trice, a small army of patrolmen on
foot, police lieutenants in buggies,
