Around the golf ball revolved the sun

to 80 TO America to see if he could
pick up any fine points about golf,
and departed with a rousing send-Off
from his club.
Arriving in New York, he was i'm
mediately seized upon by society and
forced, reluctantly, right off to attend
some silly little girls coming-out
party, where he met lot Of other
silly little girls, until he became so
disguised that he retired to the con-

arm chair, holding q talismanic golf

from thirst. Supplying his needs,
they take him with them to their

This kindness he rewarded by
shooting Don. taking his horse and
splitting all of the precious water sup

In her absence a band of Mexican
rebels captured Don and took him

She wandered for long time over

and wilder, until finally in exhaus-

Her faithful dog left her to look for

1.-THE stars incline, but do not compel.


During todays eonfiguration the
planetary influences are light. The
astrologers announce that good and
i'll balance, but they counsel caution
if one would travel.
Uranus is in a place held to be
unluclSy for journeys. The adverse
aspect of this planet is believed to
increase danger of accident. espec,.
tally during transportation on cars.
Explosions and perils due to electric
cal appliances are believed to be
common while this planet is adverse.
Although Venus and Mars are both
well aspected, the sway of Uranus
should be sufficient cause for caution
in all acts which involve future con-
ditions of life. While the rule en-
courages romance, danger of attrac-
tion toward peculiar persons is to be
recognized.
There is a favorable sign for
jewelers.. 1apidaries and dealers in fine
works of art.
Upholsterers, weavers and dyers
should benefit by the rule of the
planets today. Linen diapers, silk
merchants, women tailors and milli-
ners also should be lucky while the
Hgufe prevail.
Fishermen and hunters are subject
to a lucky augury, so are soldiers
and woodsmen.
Il should be an suspicious time for
hiring men servants and for direct
ing gardening operations. The plant
ing of eVergreens is supposed to be
particularly fortunate today
Riots In New York city and crimes
of an unusual character will mark
the first week of May, a London seer
predicts.
A surprise is prognosticated for
royalty in Great Britain. This will
not be pleasant, but 1t viii bring
about a change in public opinion.
Aerial navigation is subject to
leading of the stars, which presages
great advance before next autumn.
The death of an American aviator
of wealth again is foretold.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
an augury of great good fortune for
the coming year, but they should not
travel much or make any changes in
their mode of living. The young will
take part in romances.
Children born on this day have
kindly stars to guide them. Their
magnetic centre is the sun, in the
zodiacal sign Taurus, and Venus is
their principal ruling planet They

anee. With shrewdness, a characters

Then she began her search for

comes in. His rebel captors had been

"sHoRTY's SACRIFICE

Shorty set our for Arizona without
the formality Of ticket, travelling
in the inconspicuOus places on a
freight train. lie went this way be
cause he had no money 10 go any
other way, and he wanted to go so
he could find work and bring his
mother out into the warm, dry
climate to cure her cough.
Along ON the last lap of the trip he
found the train we'll loaded with
hoboes, with whom he did not want
to mix, and he rather daringly hid
himself away In the wood box of the
caboose. Ethel Somners was going
out on his same train to teach
school, and the trainmen put her up
in the caboose lookout for pleas
anter travelling.
The brakeman i'm his rounds of the
train discovered the tramp brigade,
and a battle royal resulted between
them and the train forces, with whom
Shorty sided. At the next town the
tramps were taken in hand by the
law and the ringleader was SEN
fenced to Imprisonment by Ned
DOrne.
Shorty was given a job by Tom
Simms on his ranch. where he made
good and became a loyal friend of
with Ethel Summers, as was Ned
Dorne, also, banker, who called in
"A note hoping to ruin his rival The
men quarreled and Dorne departed,
only to meet on the way the tramp

prison some time before and who had
returned for the express purpose of
vengeance When Dorne was founo
dead suspicion was turned on Slmms.
Shorty could not stand to see his
bcnefactor under this cloud of crime.
so he assumed the blame and started
to escape into a new country to be-
gin his life over again. On the way
he came across the guilty tramp,
wounded, who confessed himself as
the mlrderer, then died. So Shorty
was freed, Simms was indicated,
Ethel was engaged and the old
mother came out to live in the sun
shine and lose her cough. The pie
turo moves briskly and possesses good
scenic values.

William Sadler, catcher of the r. d.
Wood team of the Delaware River
League, who broke his finger from foul
tip in the ninth inning in the game with
Morrisville on August LIST, will be
out of the game for the rest of the season.
Sadler is one of the fastest catchers in
the league and his position may be tenn
porarily filled by Hughes, the local out
fielder. DIR. Baird, who set the broken
finger, says that the break is of such a
nature that SadIer will never have use of
the member.
Owing to his inability to leave his po-
sition at this time of the year, Ruby Gil
bert, of Florence, outfielder on the River
side team of the Delaware River League
has declined the offer from Ocean City
to play with them the rest of the season.
George Brown Jr., had narrow escape
from being crushed to death while at
work at the Florence Iron Works, when

ceiling by the betting and struck the
ladder on which Brown was standing,

TUESDAY, AUGUST II, 1914

AFTER residence of about sixteen
months in the capital of the United
States, the beloved wife of President
Woodrow Wilson passed from this earth
and the cup of anxiety which has been
shared by her husband is now filled to
overlooking. The sympathy of citizens
OF all countries will be extended to the
President of the United States in this
dark hour. The grave questions which
have occupied the mind of the chief ex-
ecutive were also sources of anxious
thought by his wife, who counseled with
him and did much to aid him in bear
ing the heavy burdens that were upon
him. That the affairs of the nation
weighed upon Mrs. Wilson seems to be
certain, and her constitution could not
Withstand the drains made upon it.
But, with the knowledge that the end
must soonI come, the President main
tanned his dignity and reticence and
paid strict attention to the duties i'm.
posed on him in his high Office, and al
the same time devoted himself to the
comfort OF the woman who had been his
faithful and loyal companion for years
The strain upon President Wilson i,
more than one can readily imagine, anC
it is hoped he will be able to successfully
maintain that courage and self-possess
ion that has characterized him through
out his public life. Not only is ther,
regret at the husbands loss but the
people throughout the land mourn tn,
departure of woman whose noble char
acter and transformations occupany o
the position of the first lady of tn,
land, " endeared her to all.

Colony for PeebIe-Minded.

The Burlington County Colony for
Feeble-M Minded Children at Four Mile
was the place of meeting of the commit
tee, on Thursday, that has charge OF
raising the money to establish the colony,
which is said to be the first institution
of its kind in the world.
State officials and philanthropic citi-
zens whose donations have made the
colony experiment possibility attend
ed the exercises. Several of the mental
waits for whom the colony is intended
have already been domiciled here.
Burlington Countians have subscribed
$4,000 for the erection of necessary
colony buildings since the subject was
opened by Commissioner of Charities
and Corrections Joseph P. Byers, few
months ago. OF this sum only $1,000 re-
mains unpaid A 500-acre tract for the
colony's use was set aside by the State
Forestry Park Commission and the state
has agreed to make the necessary APP
populations for the maintenance of the
institution.
The buildings already completed and
opened include the dormitories, an adj
minstration building to be later used as
a colony dining hall and kitchen, the
barn, sheds, and other outbuildings.
Prof j Frank MacComber, a member
of the faculty of the Vineland Home of
Feeble Minded, has been placed in
charge as superintendent, with Mrs.
MacComber as matron. At leaat score
of children, it is expected, will have been
transferred to the colony by the end OF
the present month. The colony will be
gradually extended with the idea o.
caring for a hundred inmates as the
maximum limit.
An important part of the days worl
was the organization of women's aux
Hilary to aid the colony committee. Th'
colony will be under the joint manage
ment of the county committee and thu
board of Governors of the VinelanC
school. Officers of the Burlington Coun
Ity Colony Committee are: Chairman
Daniel w. Bishop, of Florence; secretary

treasurer, Joseph Roberts, Moorestown

Tors chairman, Edmund +. Reed, Jr., O
