Wilmer has seized upon you, and after

The origin of this awful pest Of So
ciety is lost in the traditions OF the past
1 but 1t Is generally conceded that II Is the
llneal descendant OF the skeleton that the
ancient Romans introduced at their feasts

. that worse is to follow.
Nor has any one ever yet been able to
discover what purpose this creature
serves in the economy of nature. Some
, hold that, like the mosquito, its mission
IL for the propagation of profanity. 9th
sers contend that like the snake In the
grass it's object is to keep .us from over
confidence. while the most advanced stu
dents OF insectology bring forward much
convincing data to support the theory
that the Wilmer. like the CAD fly. the
tick, the red bug. etc, etc, is part of the
mysterious rdispensation OF Providence to

: best to make It unfit to live in.
The Wilmer is OF both sexes and the
males and females bear a strong outward
resemblance to each other They are
nearly always thin and gaunt. and dys-
peptie looking. and Of a bilious color
with NANCY coats that need brushing,
and lack-Iustre eye that only brightens
up whsn they seize upon victim.
The two sexes differ In this notable re-
spect, though, that while tho male Wilmer
merely hunts for the sake of money. the
female hunts for the pure love Of the
. sport. You sometimes save yourself from
being entirely bored to death by a male
Wilmer by throwing silver at him. and
although he will invariably return and
attack you again and again, you gain

your life blood into the bargain. -
The most familiar variety Of the male
Z Wilmer is the common panhandler on

SUNDAY, OCTOBER ls, 1914.

This is a day strongly influenced by
the stars, according to the reading OF
astrology Uranus, Jupiter, Mars,
Mercury and the Sun are all in
benefic aspect.
1t is a. day when the sway of the
planets inclines toward the recogni-
ton of altruistic ideals, and is be-
lieved to give unusual promise for
the success of any movement IN
tended for the relief of humanity
Uranus is in a place held as most
beneficial for all social reforms ana

last long but for one meal.
In Baltimore his father was looking
for him, advertised in the Newark
Evening Star, hired detectives and the
police looked all over for him, but
could not find him.
CHAPTER III.
Finding Home.
AS he was crying a rich lady, who
was shopping, asked him where he
lived. He said far away. She then
took him to her home in Baldwin
avenue. Although she was a rich
lady, she adopted William for a son,
as she was childless and q widow,
and he soon lived in a happy home.
CHAPTER w.
Out West.
Years rolled by. His father moved
out West, To Denver, Colorado, for
his health. His mother died. But he
saw one day in the papers that Mr..
Walton, his father, was robbed by his
uncle, and his uncle has a big ranch
out West
One day he told his foster mother
that he is going out West to look for
his father and restore his fathers
riches.
So he went on a freight train and
was travelling in a box car when he
thought how sweet the world was
After travelling two days, he happened
to see some broken track before him,
as If to cause o. wreck. He jumped
on the top of the freight cars and ran
to the engineer and fireman, but, alas,
they were lying unconscious in their
seats and two bandits were running
the train at breakneck speed. WILL

national anxiety is prognosticated
but great gains to individuals In busi-
ness are foretold.
Scandals and danger of severe criti-
cism are signified by the stars which
govern commercial activities Ameri-
cans are warned of possible perils to
the nation through business channels.
Jupiter is in an aspect that foretells
pitfalls that will be ignored by states
men.
bidding. Neptune and Mars are
strongly adverse, Saturn alone exer-
cising a kindly sway.
The aspect tends to produce a
thoughtful, prudent. sober, contem
plative frame OF mind which is most
advantageous, for the consideration of
important affairs. IT favors the at
tainment of positions of trust and
responsibility.
The adverse rule of Mars is inter-
preted as unfavorable for affairs con-
nected with iron, machinery and con-
struction. Engineers. contractors
and ironworkers are subject to un-
lucky conditions and should be espe-
cially careful to avoid accidents.
Canada Is under a government OF

is foreshadowed and occasions for
public festivities are indicated.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of rather an anxious year,
but with caution they may avoid seri-
GUS financial losses. Women are
warned to be thrifty and to avoid ex-
travagance.
Children born on this day are likely
to be reliable and good-natured. Boys
probably will be fortunate in earning
money. Girls have the omen of mar
riage with an elderly man.

Elephants and Camels
Are Bitterest of Foes

Elephants in Africa have the bitter
est enrnity to camels. When the
camel scents the elephant it stops
still, trembles in all it's limbs and ut
tiers an interrupted cry of terror and
alright. No persuasion, no blows,
can induce it to rise. 1t moves its
head backward and forward, and it's
whole frame is shaken with anguish.
The elephant, on the contrary, as
soon as he perceives the camel ele-
Yates his trunk, stamps with his feet,
and. with his trunk thrown back
ward. snoring with a noise like the
sound of trumpet, he rushes toward
the camel, which, with its neck out
stretched and utterly defenseless,
awaits with the most patient resigna-
ton the approach of its enemy. The
elephant, with its enormous, shape
less limbs, tramples on the unfortu-
nate animal in such manner that in
a few minutes it is scattered around
in small fragments.

Stolen by His Uncle.
Soon summer came and he was GO

mother If he could go out and say
goodbye to Tom Brown before he
goes to the seashore.
1t happened that his uncle, who
was going to say good-by to his broth
er, had plotted to kdnap William and
send him to New York to make his
own living, SO that he can get the will
when his brother dies. Just as Will
lam closed the front door, his uncle's
employed rufiians, who seized hold OF
him, gagged his mouth and threw him
into an automobile and from there
he rode to the trains and then to
Newark and was taken off. His uncle
then took him to Broad and Market

pointed out that the worlds stock

About the only other bullish news was
