fern now known as "Thoreau's
Journals"
One of the entries in "Thoreau's
Journals" spoke of some 800 volumes
of his books, which had been re-
turned to him by his publishers at
Cambridge because the latter had
been unable to sell them. Thoreau,
In his journal, speaks of Juggling
them up to his garnet room and then
humorously adds that he finds him
self possessed Of library of about
a thousand volumes, nearly 900 OF
which he wrote himself. This para
graph from Thoreaus journal was
widely published, and is one of the
best known of his sayings:
! was told a few months before
visited Concord that Thoreau's
Week" had been republished, with
illustrations, with perfect typog
raphy, admirably bound and that
the cost of the edition had been ap-
proximately $4,000, and that every
copy had been sold Yet somewhere
shortly after Thoreaus death there
were some 800 copies of the first edi-
ton, the identical copies which
Thoreau himself had carried upon
his back from an express wagon to
an attic room.
l asked the publisher if he knew
what became of these copies and he
replied that he did not. He added
| that they would be very valuable If
| they could be found. He presumed,
however, that they may have been
sold after Thoreau's death for waste
paper or junk. So far as he could
learn there was absolutely no record
! Of what became of the first edition
of Thoreau's first book. Long after
Thoreau's death an edition of this
work was published at the cost of
$4,000. Thoreau in his lifetime, the

resort. 1t will lead to rigid investi-
cations.
There is a prophecy that middle
Western State will become the centre
of extraordinary activities among
women. A sign which indicates re-
markable power to institute and
carry out political measures is said
to rule. This State Is supposed to
be Illinois, which will command much
attention in national politics.
Persons whose birthdate it is are
warned to pay attention to their
health. They have the prospect of a
happy year. The young will be likely
to marry.
Children born on this day will be
fond of change and variable in dispo-
sition. Boys probably will be pros
porous in business. Girls have a
hazardous luck in love affairs and
may be unhappy in marriage. AS
they are on the cusp and subjects of
Cancer and Leo influences they
should have keen intellects.

If the tools belong to another man
use him. He also is tool. Nomin-
ally you may be his employee. 1t
may be your only chance to get hold
of the implements. But if you can
think fast enough and straight
enough, he's your tool. You can get
results through him possibly better
than you could without him.
The fact that he doesn't wish to
employ you is of no great conse-
quence. Your business is to make him
see the advantage of it. If you can
not, he's simply a tool too big or too
dull or too complicated for you to
use. If you're big enough you'll adapt
him to your purpose. Ii you aren't
you must look elsewhere.
Most men start their career upon
false premises. Your attitude handi-
caps you or gives you the advantage
from the first. He who begins with
the single idea of pleasing others
is doomed to failure unless he re-
forms. Pleasing others is merely in
cidental to success. He who falls into
the habit of thinking other mems
thoughts straightway becomes a
slave. Success lies in bending men
and circumstances to your own will
rather than in bending yourself to
them and taking their doles. Sla-
very lies less in physical restraint
than in mental subsection. No man
succeeds who does not generally
please, but he must please for his
own ends rather than for the pur-
poses of others.
Whether circumstances be friendly
or antagonistic depends upon your at
titude toward it. The wise man i'm
quires of himself what use he shall
make of an apparently insurmount-
able difficulty. Circumstance is as
disable as a handsaw There is no
event. incident or complication that
you cannot make use of if you look
far enough ahead and are strong
enough.
The politician knows this to de-
gree and the statesman is even more
keenly aware of 1t. Men are still
more easily mastered than circum-
stances, and you have but to consult
the manipulation Of markets or the

Women should benefit today. As the
influence of Venus is supposed TO pro-
lduce poetic and idealistic moods the
signs are favorable to romance. This
condition is supposed TO increase the
desire for becoming costumes and to
favor whatever contributes to pleas
ure and luxury.
AS the adverse aspect Of Uranus
tends to extremes in judgment, 1t is
not wise to trust today's decisions.
Danger of accidents on electric con-
lveyances and wherever machinery is
operated is foretold whenever Uranus
| is unfriendly.
Saturn. which still controls many
an evil force, is held to exercise a
power making for cumulative labor

| Accidents on railways and steam
| ships are foretold. One of these will
be peculiarly distressing, the seers
say, as it will take place when an

Dulld. Sne shared ner SISTER IOhV-
ness for animal painting and seems to
have initiated her style. She was mar
ried when she was % to Hippolyte
Peyrol, son of her fathers second
wife and an artist of considerable
merit himself The year following she
made her debut In the Paris salon
and two years later received her first
honorable mention" Three years be-
fore her marriage she had begun to
teach in her sisters drawing school
for girls and she kept this work up
for eleven years.
Juliette had two sons, Hippolyte,
named for his father, and Rene, ana
when they displayed artistic ability
inherited from both sides of the fam
lily their mother discouraged them In
their desires to become artists. She
knew only too we'll that art is not an
easy road to earning a living. and she
wanted them to be spared the imam
cial difficulty that had been the rate
of herself and her husband.
The two young men solicited the
sympathy of their aunt. Hippolyte.
who was a good sculptor, had her SIT
for a plaster study of her head and
Rene completed fine landscape.
With these finished productions they
assailed their mother and. backed by

their famous aunt's encouragement
the devoted mother was forced 10
yield to their wishes and this not
without feeling of motherly pride
at their choice.
Lucy MADDOX Brown was born
thirteen years after Julliette Bon
heur. but she did not discover her
gift as an artist until after she was
25. Then one day, when she was
IN her fathers studio, she was struck
with the fact that one Of his pupils
had been unable to complete a GER
tain canvas and she determined to
try herself. Her father was so well
impressed with her ability that he
volunteered to give her regular IN
struction.
Her paintings, of which Romeo
and Juliet in the Vault and Mar
garet Roper Discovering the Head
of Her Father" are frequently
oopied-though of morbid romantic
tendency--betray an extraordinary
talent. She was even more of an
artist at heart than was Juliette
Bonheur but after her marriage TO

81. she had little time to devote TO
the development of her great talent

I was at last referred to a farmer
of the name of James Gull, and
when found him ! discovered that
he was a very intelligent man. He
said to me- IT never knew Henry
Thoreau"' Everybody in Concord
noticed spoke of Thoreau as Henry
Thoreau), "but did become ae-
quainted with his sister. Sophie, who
was the last member OF Thoreaus
family then living, and who died
few years after | made her ac-
uuaintance.
When she found that | was inter-
ested in her brother she told me
MANY things about him. She gave
me two lead pencils which she said
came from a parcel of pencils which
her brother Henry had made. You
know he was by trade surveyor
and lead pencil maker. She also
gave me the curiously shaped water
lug which Henry Thoreau used to
strap over his shoulder when he
went out for days surveying. IL
was shaped like a small barrel or
keg"
l asked Mr.. Gull II he had ever
heard Thoreaus sister speak Of the
copies of Thoreau's first book, "A
Week on the Concord and Merrimae
River"
II vaguely remember hearing
Sophie say something about those
books. but / haven't the slightest
Idea now what she did say"

which were turned over by Sophie

to publish them, as he did in the

Tho world is full of tools. The
question is whether you are going to

thumbs with them or make use of

publisher said, had been compelled to
work very hard for two or three
years in order to pay off what he
owed for the publication of this book,
for as he could find no one who would
take 1t upon royalty basis. he was
compelled to publish it at his own Elk
pense and to go into debt for it,
After my talk with the publisher
and after my conversation with Mr.
Gull, I was convinced that the dis
position of the memorable unsold first
edition of Thoreau's first book would
always remain a mystery.

INFORMATION SOUGHT
REGARDING COMPLAINTS
No Decision by Commissioners as to
Use of Center Market Side
walks by Farmers.

Additional information has been asked
b. the District Commissioners regarding
complaints against the use Of sidewalks
and roadways outside of Center Market
by farmers and truckmen selling produce
before making their decision on the ques-
tion.
A. Leftwich Sinclair. attorney for sew
enty-five dealers in Center Market, who
filed complaints at a recent public hear
ing before the board, again will appear
before the Commissioners to show reason
why the truckmen should be prohibited
from maintaining their stands on the
north side of B street, along the south
front of the Center Market, between
Seventh and Ninth streets, and on the
south side of Louisiana avenue between
Ninth and Tenth streets northwest.
Mr.. Sinclair contends that the use OF
this space is in direct violation of the
District police regulations, constituting
likewise a public nuisance" Com
plants are directed against those who
do not sell produce of their own rails
ing. said Mr.. Sinclair, rather than
against those truckmen selling products
raised by themselves, who have been
carrying on this business for many
years.
Certain wholesale dealers, he charges,
use this section without restriction during
the morning hours, subletting such space
for the rest Of the day. 1t was argued
also that conditions resulting from this
practice constitute a nuisance which the
police make no effort to remedy.

LEMON TRUST LOBBY HEREq
Receiver for Bankrupt Concern Says
There Is.

New York, Dec. 2o.-The charge that q
lemon trust exists in New York and main-
tains a lobby at Washington, was made
here today by William C. Armstrong, re-
ceiver for the Mercandante-Re Regan Com
pany, in a suit against the Sicula Amer
cano, which operates a fruit line between
New York and Italy.
Armstrong charges that for the last
seven years the importers in New York
have paid a tax of cents on every box
of lemons imported, and that this money
has been used to maintain the lobby
working at Washington against the CAL
ifornia lemon growers. Armstrong asks
for a return Of the money thus paid by
the bankrupt company.
