From Pure Joy of Living.

Miss Maria Thompson Daviess, the
author. having lived all her life in
the South. has a fund of humorous
stories about the negroes. The New
York sun says that the following is
her favorite;
One day she was walking down a
street in Nashville with a guest from
the North The street was crowded
with negroes who were forming in
line for a parade. The guest was
curious to know what it was about,
and seeing a colored boy whom she
knew, Miss Daviess called him
to her.
Whats the occasion for the
parade. Tom?" she asked.
The boy looked at her with a grin.
La, Miss Daviess." he replied, don't

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER .. 1914.

Saturn and Neptune are in benefic
aspect today according to the read
ing of astrology, and Mercury is adj
verse.
1t is a time believed TO be fortu-
nate for all who draw their living
from the earth. Miners, real estate
dealers, farmers, florists, potters and
those who sell coal should benefit.
The conditions are believed to be
particularly good for those who study
organization and economics. The
good aspects of Saturn tend TO pro-
duce a contemplative mind
Diplomats are under favorable
rule. They should find conditions in
spring and helpful, but there is a
prophecy of serious blunder that will
have some bearing on navigation or
the commerce of the high seas.
The Panama Canal is under a gov
eminent that threatens trouble. Con-
gress will be the centre of serious
dissensions before many weeks have
passed, the seers declare, but phophe-
cy is that national affairs will be
harmonized through grave foreign
complications.

Junior Star Club

Several pupils of the South Tenth
Street School have, under the able aid
of their teachers, formed a junior
Evening Star club. the purpose of
which is to write stories which are
being published from time to time in
the Junior Evening Star. Many of
these stories show talent which, if
properly developed. will reflect credit
upon both the school and the in
dividual. The Junior Evening Star
wishes TO encourage these efforts. and
suggests that similar clubs be formed
in other schools.

talk was of trails and foxes. but,
queerly enough, when the house was
reached the question in dispute was
not submitted for decision. In fact,
it was not thought of again for
months, and it was Jessie's mother
who said to the father:
Just let a girl alone, Pa, and she'll
find a man to love, and one to love
her, even If she has to have the help
of an old red fox! Don't jump outer
your boots when I tell you that jess
