IF THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
DECEMBER 13.

The person of this birthdate is SEN
sitive and intensely egotistical. con-
stantly taking to himself and making
personal the opinions and remarks of
other people. This is a bad fault and
will get him into much trouble.
The governing sign being Sagittar-
ius. the Archer. both men and women
of this birthdate never want much
time in discussing their plans. In
stead they go to work and complete
their plans while other people are
talking about them.
This nature is very active. is inn
patient with others. is generous to a
fault and will succeed in business.
Jupiter is the governing planet and
care should be taken in making
changes in business for the coming
year
Most careful consideration should
be given all new projects. Metal work

Hillstrom went 10 his death lighting
in an insane frenzy.
In some unknown manner he had
concealed a broom-handle in his cell.
When the door Of the death cell was
opened Hillstrom leaped upon the
guards. swinging his club fiercely at
their heads, severely cutting one about
the scalp and face.
The guards sprang upon Hillstrom
and overpowerod him.
Up to the moment he came out OF
the cell he had not shown a sign OF
resisting and his assault took the OF
fcials completely by surprise.
