1913.

In the evening the moon, in favor
able aspect to Venus. gives encour-
agement to lovers. They are inclined
to make friendships between men and
women strong and loyal. 1t is lucky
time for weddings, musicales and en-
tertainments of every sort. The
position of the stars is held to elevate
and refine thought. to give the mind
Joyous tinge and to awaken pthe
higher emotions.
The planets rule is read as partie-
ularly fortunate for all who cater
to the public taste. Hence, man
ayers of theatrical enterprises
should consider the day suspicious.
There is good sign for artists,
singers and actors. All who enter
tain the public should find audiences
especially receptive and enthusiastic.
London astrologers predict cruelty
to women and children this month,
and they find reason for their pro-
phecy in the aspects of Mars and
Saturn, which are said to indicate
crimes of unusual horror in which
the weak suffer. They find, also, a
particularly bad outlook for all theat-
rical enterprises abroad and foretell
that the United States will benefit
from this condition and from new

alliances among managers. The
prophecy is that plays which deal
with children will have a continued
popularity, because public attention
is to be concentrated upon problems
connected with juvenile life.
Persons whose birthdate it is are
assured that they will have a happy
year. Men are warned against lltiga-
ton or quarrels, but they should
prosper in all financial affairs.
Women may look forward to joy in
their domestic circles, especially
those who are young and marry with
in the next six months.
A child born on this day is likely
to be extremely self-willed. A boy
will be difficult to manage, but he
will become a successful man. A
girl will be studious and persevering
in any task. She will marry above
her station, or at least assure herself
prosperity.

cleveland had good many en-
barrassments to face and some diff
ficulties to overcome before he per-
fected his cabinet" said Mr.. Parker
AT ono time he was strongly dis
posed to make choice of Thomas F.
Bayard as secretary of state, al
though Mr.. Bayard had served as
secretary of state in the first admin
istration. | have sometimes thought
he would have appointed Bayard had
it not been for the earnestness with
which Bayard insisted that the APP
pointment was not the wisest that he
could make in view of the fact that
Bayard was secretary of state during
his first administration.
81 never knew, nor so far as !
could find out did anybody else ever
know, why Mr.. Cleveland decided to
offer the state department to General
Walter @. Gresham. Cleveland was
always secretive about the reasons
which led him to make that appoint
ment.
"He was a good deal put out be-
cause he was unable to find any
Democrat in New England competent
to serve as secretary of the navy
who was also willing to accept that
appointment. He made the offer to
three New England Democrats.
do not think that | am even now at
liberty to say who these men were.
All three declined. That explains
how 1t happened that Mr.. Cleveland
called Richard Olney, of Boston, to
the cabinet as attorney general, from
which office he was transferred to the
state department.
Many times while considering his
cabinet appointments Mr.. Cleveland
spoke to me of William l.. Wilson, OF
West Virginia. / do not now recall
warmer commentator of anyone as-
ISOLATED with public life than he did
OF Mr.. Wilson.
IT think he would have been re-
joiced If he could have called Wilson
to the cabinet, on personal, on party
and on national considerations, but
he realized that Wilson's place al
that time was that of leadership OF
the House, where his services in the
preparation of new tariff bill woulc
be of inestimable value.

.Mr. Cleveland was a man who
sometimes admitted himself to be
governed by what were really whims,
although he thought these impulses
were real inspirations. l think that
the most extraordinary of these inn
pulses was one which came to him
of a sudden and of which William L.
Wilson was the subject.
"CIeveland had been talking for
some time of Wilson's intellectual
acuteness and profoundness He
spoke with enthusiasm of the man
ner in which this man who did not
have many early advantages had
mastered some of the most difficult
questions of finance and had alb
sorbed and assimilated what MI
Cleveland regarded as true principles
upon which our tariff laws would be
based.
"AIl of a sudden Cleveland stopped
chatting in this vein. / knew that
som ething had occurred to him which
he regarded as an inspiration. ] Won
dered whether he would tell me what
was in his mind. But / never could
have guessed what he was thinking
about if he had not told me. He SAID
to me that if he thought he could
persuade Congress to enact the neces-
sary legislation he would be strongly
disposed to recommend that an act be
passed creating the office of assistant
to the President, with a salary of at
least ten thousand dollars year. lie
said that the routine duties OF the
President were easily done, although
the work was sometimes drudgery,
but that President really needed
man of great ability who would AID
him in working out and formulating
important policies or recommends
tons.
"Cieveland told me that If he could
get such an act passed he would APP
point William l.. Wilson assistant to
the President. He did not believe,
however, that Congress would enact
the necessary legislation.
