BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
DECEMBER 81
Mrs. Caroline Wilson, Anna Gurney
Copyright. 1915.
BY MARY MARSHALL.
DEcEM BER 81

Mrs. Caroline Wilson, born in 17S7
and Anna Gurney, born eight years
later, on the last day of the year,
both gained fame because of intellect
ual attainments.
Mrs. Wilson was the ninth child of
John Fry, a farmer. Her older
brothers and sisters had been care
fully educated and her education
devolved upon them. 1t was thorough,
but a little unusual, and it was partly
accomplished by the wide and un-
directed reading which she did. When
she was fifteen she wrote history
of England in verse, which her father
published.
She spent q year or so in a school
at London, and was then, when she
was about eighteen, introduced to
society. She was a beautiful young
woman, as her picture by Sir Thomas
Lawrence testifies: but she was of a
deeply religious nature and society
alone did not satisfy her. So she
planned a periodical. which she both
edited and wrote. Six numbers were
ordered monthly for his majesty's Ii
brary.
When she was forty-four she visited

CHIT CHAT

What's your salary?" he asked the
husband The latter said $22, of which
he paid over to his wife $21.
Great Scottl" exclaimed the judge.
do you mean to say you keep a
whole dollar for yourself? Where do
you spend 1t all? This case is post
poned for two weeks. In the mean
time want you both to find home
as far from your mothers as you can.
There's nothing the matter except too
much mother-in-law. Tighten your
sails, put your helm down hard and
steer for the open sea, and don't have
any mothers in tow, either"
The wife smiled at her husband. II
guess we must do as the judge says"
she remarked.
"And how about the baseball?" in
quired the husband. agrH
"Well,p replied the judge reflective
ly, you may go alone on Sunday aft
ernoons. but no staying away nights,
mark you."
mo, I WON'T said the husband
submissiyely.
This week the couple came into the
same court and announced that they
had moved three miles away.
Where are your mothers2" asked
Judge Golden.
80, they stayed where they were"
was the wife's reply. 81 told 'em
there was no dodging a court
order"

SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1915.

According to astrology this is
fairly favorable day. Mercury, Nep-
tune and Venus all rule strongly for
good, while Mars is adverse.
1t should be a fortunate rule for
love affairs. Again the seers give
warning of an excess of sentimental
ity and romanticism, which will cause
many elderly persons to be as foolish
as the young.
Women should be particularly cir
cumspect during the new year. for
the stars incline toward susceptibility
and coquetry. Scandals in high
places are indicated.
Engagements entered into today are
subject to a fortunate government
of the stars.
Ministers. scholars and writer's
should benefit from the sway of the
planets today.
1t is prophesied that a preacher of
radical views will win fame through
a play or a novel that will touch ALI
classes of men and women.
Mars is read as forecasting a grad
ual gathering of troubles in political
circles. Disruptions of party ties are
| foretold.
| There is a prophecy that a member
of Congress will cause q sensation
next month, which will be a time Of
tense strain In Washington
| High winds are indicated for the
end of the month when the Panama
canal will again be damaged. There
will be severe storms in many parts
of the United States after the new
moon.
Visits from military or semi-mili-
tary bodies belonging to foreign coun-
tries are prognosticated. War senti-
ments will be more and more pro
nounced in the United States
Serious fires again are prognosti-
Gated and one in a place of amuse-
ment Will cause loss of life
| The seers foretell that the new year.
will bring to the front In both Canada
and the United States many new pub
lie men, and deaths among the IA
| nous will be numerous
Fraud in connection with govern
ment revenues is again predicted. A
man of far-reaching influence and
high station may be discredited.
Persons whose birthdate it Is should
not speculate or spend money fool
ishly. They should be especially care
full to avoid litigation.
Children born on this day may be
quicl<-tempered and difficult to please
Boys are likely to have many ups
and downs in business. Girls should
be guarded against unfortunate mar
riage-

In the great Marathon races the

old man. This is splendid thing to
do at the opening of the new year-to
put Off the old man with his old
thought. old philosophy, old religion of
sadness and gloom. Put off the old
fretting, worrying, anxious man, the
old domineering man, who wants to
control everybody, who wants to run
everybody into his own mold, and put
on the new man with q new, fresh,
joyous, cheerful. optimistic ouIiona
upon life, who does not believe In an
tagonizing, in trying to run things all
his way; who does not dictate to
people what they shall do. what they
shall think, but who goes through life
leaving trail Of sunshine, helpful
ness, gladness, good cheer wherever
he goes.
Christ told men two thousand wears
ago that they could not put now Wine
into old bottles. The opening of the
new year is a good time to throw
away our old cobweb-covered bottles
and put our new wine into new bot
ties. New Years is the best day IN
the year to begin to practice the
Christ philosophy, to be glad, to be
honest. to be kind, loving, to be help
full; to look up, think up, live up.
It is the day to remember all the
all the bad things; to forget the un-
kind and mean things that have been
said about us during the last year; TO
forget the sights, the mean insinua-
tions, the petty jealousies that made
us unhappy last year. 1t is q good
time to forget all the failures, all the
blunders, all the wrongs, all the sor-
rows of the past, to turn over new
leaf with the new year.
Turn the leaf and smile with the
glad new day. Smile upon regrets,
upon blunders. Let go of bitter mem-
ories. Don't worry. Don't be anxious.
Just be glad Let go of all the things
that are keeping you back hindering
your progress. experiences which per-
haps have caused you much pain and
bitter tears, keep the lessons they
taught you. but let the painful MEM
ories go. Start the year with a clean
sheet. Face the light, and the shad-
ows will fall behind

Anna Gurney was an Anglo-Saxon
scholar. She lived an active and

of the fact that she was a paralytic

her interests were not all scholarly.

A young married couple with six

This is rather a favorable day. al
though the forecast for the new year
is sinister and threatening. Early
today Venus and Saturn are in
benefic aspect, while later the sun,
Jupiter and Mercury are friendly.
to evil sway.
Women have the best leading while
this configuration lasts. There is an
especially promising indication for
love affairs in which the middle-aged
are concerned.
1t Is a rule under which to make
appeals for support, both financial
and moral, in important matters.
Authors should benefit. They have
the prognostication of twelve months
in which they will gather power and
find extraordinary inspiration.
Lawyers have fortunate direction.
The future promises much activity
and many honors for members of their
profession.
The outlook for peace is not encour-
aging, and the seers declare that the
war is likely to continue for two
| years, although the coming spring
will bring many overtures for arbi-
| tration.
Holland, Norway and Sweden are
| likely to become involved in the
world conflict, and again it is fore
told that the Dutch people face pos
sible conditions similar to Belgium.
| This will be threatening month
| for Germany. The death of a high
| dignitary is predicted.
England will not find the next four
] weeks favorable. Illness in the royal
. family is probable. An air raid more
serious in results than any preceding
one is read in the position of Uranus.
| Congress comes under a direction
foreshadowing much dissension, espe-
cially on appropriations. Scandals
and party quarrels are to be expected.
| Canada has the promise of good
business in many of its cities and a
unifying of public spirit. Fame for
an aviator is likely to be gained soon
by deed of brilliant heroism.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
a happy augury for the year. Money
and business affairs should be under
satisfactory direction.
Children born on this day should
be successful in whatever they under
take. Boys may be rather reckless
in speculation, but they will rise in
life.

Bread Upon the waters.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t is reported that by the end of
this month America will have sent
to Belgium a relief ship for every
day of the month. 1t Is a significant
fact that whatever lingering regard
there may be In Europe for the United
States rests chiefly on a farinaceous
foundation, for this bread upon the
waters brings it's own incessant re-
turn in gratitude and good will.
When the Thelma left Philadelphia
last fall and other vessels followed
in her wake some people seemed to
think that few shiploads would
satisfy all the needs of the popula-
tion for long time. They have been
disconnected to realize that once fed
is not always fed, and that q single
square meal-invigorating and heart
ening as it may be-will not rebuild
ain enfeebled physical frame. The
millions who starved last year are
starving still.
One objection to giving has been
that contributions which feed Belgium
release food products for the use of
Belgium's conquerors. But all aca-
demic theorizing must be postponed
for the immediate emergency. For
long time TO come there will exist
an importunate need OF everything
tnat can be sent.

The American Language.


From the st. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
The American language has arrived
at last, officially. There has been no
act of Congress establishing it, a fact
that reflects on the enterprise of poll
ticians forever seeking new issues. We
owe our distinction to a Turkish fir
man, promulgated after Turkey be-
came involved in the great war.
DR.. McNaughton, a veteran Can
adian missionary and teacher in
Turkey, has explained the circum-
stances. A ban was placed on the
languages Of all belligerents. This in
cluded French, Russian, Japanese and
English. Our ambassador to Turkey,
Henry Morgenthau, protested vigor-
ously on the ground that the United
States was not at war with Turkey
and that the order was annoying to
such nationals as spoke only English.
But Turkish firman is like unto
the laws of the Medes and Persians,
which could be repealed. The best
Turkey could do was to issue a sup
Elementary firman, giving full per-
mission for the speaking and writing
of the american language" DR.. Nc
Naughton swallowed his prejudices
and began 10 acquire the American
language, which he now speaks with
admirable proficiency.
