Not that Professor Polydore was
coward-far from lei But he could
not see the sense of taking extra
hazardous chances against man
armed with q revolver. And so, he
told the hot-headed young cavalier
who invited him to duel, my dear
sir, if you are really weary of life,
why don't you go and hang your
self?''
Armand Bustignac had earned an
international reputation as a duellst

What made it appear most certain

Besides, Bustignac had sought to
provoke the professor to some ex-
preston of anger; for, strange to

intense dislike Of Polydore, on ac-
count of the attention the hostess
and most OF her guests had been
bestowing upon him, For, IL the
truth must be said, the palmist APP
peared to be easily the intellectual
monarch of the entire assemblage.

phasis. II am a bullying, cowardly

God may hold sway
This chanEeful day.
COPYRIGHT, 1913
1.-THE stars incline, but do not compel"
TUESDAY. DECEMBER :; 1918.

| Astrology interprets this as a day
in which good influences overbalance
| those of a threatening nature. AL
| though Mars and Uranus are in an
tunfriendly aspect early in the moru;
| ing, the astral conditions change for
| the better after noon. Then Jupiter
and the sun rule powerfully for good.
Uranus Is in place said to be evil
| for careless persons, Those who ara
| needless concerning matters of trust
should be exceedingly cautious during
this configuration, which is said to
affect the judgment. causing undue
faith in preearlous business enter
prises.
The day is an suspicious one for
university presidents and professors
Large endowments are foreshadowed
and a close partnership between col-
leges and political organizations In
predicted There is a prophecy that
municipal and State governments Will
ultimately rely q good deal on insti-
buttons of learning for guidance.
Bishops, priests and ministers are
under a favorable rule. The stars
foreshadow an astonishing socializs-
ton of certain churches.
With the waning OF the year the
seers discover many reactions In pub
lie sentiment. A united effort to check
extravaganza and to teach thrift In
predicted. In this movement q West
ern man will lead.
Wrestlers and athletes should BEN
eft under this position of the stars.
Jupiter is believed TO strengthen the
vitality and TO insure resourcefulness
when in a friendly aspect.
While the sun rules for fair for
tune, 1t is wise to seek the presencs
OF persons who have power to confer
benefits. This evening there is
promising sign for State banquets
and formal entertainments. The in
fluences tend to make even the re-
served joyial. generous and inclined
to confer benefits.
There Is q. prophecy that the Balkan
peninsula again viii become the scene
of serious trouble.
Rioting, bloodshed and revoltE
against authority are predicted in
more than one region of the West,
which will have many labor difficult
ties. The death of q prominent strike
'eader is foretold.
Persons whose birthdate II IL are
warned TO guard against illness and
accident Men viii prosper In BUSH
uess and women have the promise or
travel and pleasant change. Those
who are wage-earnerS have tho aug
ury of promotion and prosperity.
Children born on this day are likely
to be disconnected, but they have the
forecast OF success. Boys Will rise
In business or professional life, whils
girls Will achieve their material am
bitions These subjects Of 5agittariuz
are often inclined toward the sciences
They should be trained to combat
tendency to be respondent.

demanded Bustignac IN an insoient
tone.
You surely would not do so rude a
thing In company said Professor
Polydore mildly.

IF you do was Polydore's quiet
rejoinder, you will, even If you es-
cape chastisement, still have the NOR
LITIGATION to know that, no matter
how hard a blow you strike, there's
never healthy jackass in all the
world but can land a harder one
By this time the company was con-
vulsed with laughter. Bustignacs
breathing revenge, soon departed.
leaving Polydore I'm full enjoyment
of the fresh laurels his bloodless VIC
tory had procured him.

December days brought thoughts
of Christmas--and Christmas pres
ents--to Dorothy and Davie Dear.
AT breakfast and at luncheon, and
at dinner it was, ST want this" and
II hope I'll get that" and "if /
get the other I'll" until mother
Dear would have to put her fore
fingers in her ears and cry for
mercy.
One day, however, the trend Of
the talk changed. Dorothy and
Davie no longer shouted their de-
sires. Instead, they exchanged gig
Cling whispers, which mother Dear
tried her best not to. hear, for she
knew they were planning what to
give to her, and to father Dear,
and to baby Buster and all the rest.
Davie went about with lips pursed
tightly together fearful that some
of his secrets might jump from the
end of his tongue and tell them
selves. Whenever he looked at
Dorothy his eyes began to dance,
upon which that little maid would
quickly place her finger on her lips,
as signal for him to keep still.
There is fascination about pre-
pairing for Christmas.
iC IL JiHG " lltlu OUT Will peO-
pie want, and the effort to buy just
the right things without being
found out give to life an unwonted
sparkle.
In the dear Dear house this spirit
was manifest in every corner. Even
Henry, the handy man, took to .
forbidding the children to enter the
stable unless he was there. And
Norah insisted tnat they knock be-
fore entering her kitchen. Which
attitudes puzzled Davie very much
until Dorothy explained that they
didn't want him to see the presents
-iiey were going to give at Christ
mas time.
"But why don't they give them

clared, "Norah and Henry would

Davie, cheered up promptly, and
Dorothy apologized, and then they
ran in the house to find nurse
Nellie.

As you will learn from perusal of the various articles in this pubica- ton, the resources of this country are practically boundless.

 A name seemingly so common and yet so rare! Consult the postal guide and you will find that there is not another post office in the United States by that name. There is Green" nearly everything, and Forest" a hundred times; but not another Green Forest.
 And contrary to what would natural ly be supposed from the name, there is not now nor has there ever been a forest Of any proportions in the i'm mediate vicinity of the town but it is located on what was once a beautiful expanse of prairie, covering about a section of land.
 Green Forest is just an even 100 miles by rail southeast of Joplin, the northern terminus of the M. & N. A. railroad, and without the slightest dis engagement to the many other towns of the great northwest portion of the State, Green Forest is the most hap pily and picturesquely situated sur rounded aJ it is by one of the richest agricultural and fruit raising com munities in the Ozark region.
