The Hero of 10
By EDWARD REGELMAS

One day in 1875 a boy about six
teen years of age was walking
through the forest of South Caro-
lima. He was a ruddy-faced. strong,
reliable boy, whose name was John.
He was on his way to enlist in the
American army as drummer boy.
His father had been killed in the
French and Indian war and his
mother had died a week ago and
John had to work his way up in the
world.
He went to Colonel Moultrie and
was enlisted and stationed at Fort
Sullivan. This was a strong log fort
situated in the harbor of Charles
town. South Carolina, and contained
one hundred and seventy men. Gen
eral Moultrie had got a message that
the British were approaching on land
and on sea lie needed all the men
he had and SO he decided to send
John TO General Greene to get re-
Inducements. John said that he
would go.
He started about dawn and with a
blanket, gun and provisions he
started on this perilous journey.
In the afternoon he was walking
along when he saw an Indian in war
paint come after him. The Indian
raised his gun and fired. The bullet
whizzed past Johns ear. The Indian
then threw his tomahawk and
knocked the gun out of Johns hand.
Before John could recover the gun
the Indian was on top OF him. The

went To sleep.
He aWoke early in the morning and
resumed his journey About 10
O'Clock in the morning John was
walking along an Indian path, when
four British soldiers came out ~

Saturn Is in a place today that Is
most unlucky for initiative of every
sort It is well to delay important
projects until more favorable condi-
lions prevail, the seers declare.
1t is not a lucky time to deal with
landlords, builders, architects or real
estate brokers.
WEAKNESS, depression and worry
over small matters are often signs of
Saturn's adverse rule. Care to avoid
taking cold, rest and recreation are
prescribed, while the CONFORMATION
prevails.
Old persons are under an unfavora-
BILE rule. They should beware of falls
or other accidents. The death rate
among men and women over fifty will
increase. II is predicted.
Persons whose birthdate it is are
warned against change and specula-
ton. Both men and women may suf-
fer from i'll health. Business and
financial conditions may be disap-
pointing.
Children born on this day probably
will be light hearted and care-free.
They may spend money recklessly.
but they will always have friends TO
aid them. Girls have the augury of
happy marriage.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER rs, 1914.

Astrology finds this an uncertain
day, in which to act with caution and
prudence. While Neptune is in a
place that is strongly benefic in its
influence, Saturn is in evil aspect.
Jupiter and Venus are friendly, but
their sway is slight during this con-
f1guration.
Under the good influence of Nep-
tune great gain through dealings in
foodstuffs is possible, the seers de-
clare Whatever is put up In tins,
fruits and staples should bring profits.
Conditions are read as peculiarly
promising for chemists and all who
handle drugs, dyes, oils and perfumes.
Success through new avenues of In
dustry is promised and New England
will benefit.
The stars presage an extraordinary
awakening to the great significance Of
psychic phenomena of every sort. one
Of the seers declares that, owing to
the fact that armies of released
spirits are passing out of the place
of physical existence, new conscious
ness of the immlnence of the spiritual
world will be experienced.

Ancients Possessed Store
of Scientific knowledge

1t has been pointed out that the
statues and plaques carved in stone
and wood to be seen in the Gizeh
Museum prove that the priest num-
mifiers of Memphis 5000 years ago
possessed a profound knowledge of
anatomy. Science, therefore, as
Lockyer remarks, is as old as art,
and they have advanced together,
says Harper's Weekly.
Another remarkable fact In this
connection is that excavations in
italy have brought to light scores of
finely finished surgical instruments
for certain operations, which are in
almost every particular of form like
those reinvented in modern times
and used by the most advanced sur
geons of today.

Indian raised his arm, in which was
glittering a long bowie knife. The
Indian was about to lower the knife
when a shot rang out and the tndian
fell over dead. John got up and saw
large muscular man emerge from
the bushes.
He was dressed like a baclSwoods-
