HOROSCOPE.

Saturday, February 10, 1915.

IL.
Saturday, February 10, 1910.
Good and i'll are in the balance to-
day. according to astrology, with the
kindly influences dominating. Early in
the day the Sun is strongly adverse,
but later Saturn is friendly and Nep-
| tune has a good place.
There Is a sign presaging fortunes
J in mines. Not only will gold, silver
, and copper bring new wealth, but
strange products OF the rocks" may
| anord immense profits.
All who desire the support Of men
and women in places of influence
! should delay advances until this con-
hguration changes.
1t is not a lucky day for seeking
positions or promotions and politicians
should be especially cautious.
Oil has a promising >signifieator. I'm
der this sway gain comes through deal
ing in paints, fuels, and all forms of
oil, which even as a medicine, is un-
usually beneficial.
! Elderly persons should make the
most Of the auspicious powers that aid
| them while Saturn is in friendly as
pect. Honors for an aged statesman
are probable.
] The map for the full Moon on this
day gives little hope for peace at a
near date. 1t is read as presaging
| taxation, increased cost of living and
serious labor difficulties in this coun-
| try.
This confguration gives promise of
! rumors Of peace in Europe, but in
stead of any encouraging outcome.
there will be new complications, the
seers declare
AnGieties over foreign credits are
foreshadowed and bankers are warned
to be extremely cautious.
Crimes of violence are believed to
be encouraged by the same conditions
that produce war and the spring may
be a time for strange murders, abduc-
tions and robberies.
As the period of extremes continues
through the year. there will be supreme
deeds Of heroism and altruism to off,
set acts OF lawlessness.
| A wave of religious feeling and phi
lRnthropy will sweep over the entire
continent. astrologers predict, but they
utter warnings against false prophets
and teachers of queer cults.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
be careful OF accidents and beware of
thieves. They may have rather a
troublesome year.
Children born on this day may be
rather unlucky and should guard
against bodily injuries. These subjects
Of Pisces are often imaginative, IDEAL
istic and highly gifted.

| S have often told you. I al

A S I have often told you, I al
~ ways enjoy writing about nay
pets, whether they are those
brought to me at the studio or the lit
tie ones I have at home.
Today l was given a parrakect, and
it made me think OF Don Carlos, lit
tie pet parrot had last summer. He
was a tame little fellow and as jaunty
as he could be, though discontentcd
to sit on his painted perch for two
minutes at a time When l was not
looking, he would crawl out, walk
along the floor or climb up on my
chair until he was on a level with my
shoulder, then over he would hop, sit
ting there so friendly and so highly
amused at himself.
l made a great pct of him, and
when l went South for a picture l
was anxious TO take him with me.
Mother thought it would be best for
me to leave him with Lottie, as I was
never sure of how much attention
could give any pet when l had to
travel from one hotel to another.
Promise you will keep up his edu-
cation" l admonished Lottie "He
knows more tricks now than any par
rot l have ever seen. l insist that
Don Carlos shall be all the gentleman
his name suggests"
Lottie promised faithfully, though
l must say it was with some reluc-
tance l went away without him.
Lottie did not say much about Don
Carlos in her letters, and | was al
most afraid to ask, fearing something
had happened to him. But when l
returned there he sat on his perch, as
pompous and self-important as ever.
Don Carlos" l cried, hurrying over
to him and putting my finger out so
he could climb upon it, as had always
been his custom, don't you know me
any more?
Don Carlos gave a threatening
squawk and before l could Withdraw
my finger he had nipped me good and
hard.
l turned around to see mother and
Lottie looking at each other with an
expression of horror and surprise.
That very look aroused my suspicious,
and ! credited Lottie with having al
lowed the bird to be teased while l
was gone, and l have to confess l
was rather cross about it.
Never was there another parrot with
such a bad disposition as the bird l
found on my return. He bit and
squawked and showed no more affec-
ton for me than if | had never
brought him up to be respectable
bird citizen
A False Don Carlos.
Finally had to wiring a confession
from Lottie that while was gone the
real Don Carlos had died of heart
break, so she firmly assured me. She
had taken the little bird down to the
store to find his counterpart, and il
| had been no difficult task. But she

D TO DISASTER

The Cleveland Leader published
in the home town of w. G. Lee, head
of the Railroad Trainmen's Union,
recently printed a statement for
which it gave Mr.. Lee as its au-
thority. Asserting that 1T was in
Dictated in a statement given out
by w. Ct. Lee" that negotiations
between the railroads and employees
will not lead to arbitration the
Cleveland paper continued:
Lee declared tina he was UNI
equivocally' opposed to arbitration,
and would not accept unless forced
to do so by a vote of the men or
the passage of a law making arbi-
tration compulsory by Congress.
7 will ask the placing of the ques-
ton on the inevitable strike ball
lot" he said, Il am opposed to ar
bitration because that would mean
splitting the difference and per-
haps not even that"
It is hoped that Mr.. Lee has been
misunderstood by the Cleveland
Leader. For the responsible head
of a great labor organization to take
the attitude attributed to Mr.. Lee
is surprising, discouraging, and al
most incredible. 1t savors alto
gether too much of the "Public-be-
damned and "Nothing-to-arbi-
trate" attitudes Of certain leaders Of
capital in the past.
For a man of Mr.. Lees position
and responsibilities even to appear
in tho most casual conversation to
take such an attitude shows a sing
ular obtuseness to public opinion
or a %singularly reckless defiance of
it. All the reflections of public
opinion in the press from one end
of the country to the other, with in
significant exceptions, concur in
the demand: There must be no
strike" Yet Mr.. Lee is quoted as
regarding a strike as practically
Inevitable" Do the Accredited
leaders of the other train service
unions agree with Mr.. Lee9 If not
then they should hasten to it's dis
favor.
One thing is certain: The leader
ship that rejects arbitration and in
sists on inflicting on the country
the enormous calamity of a gen.
oral railway strike is a leadership
that a lead only to disaster for
the cause it represents.-Chicago

UrDCE DUPRE PERSISTS IN
FIGHT AGAINST MORE MONEY
st. Landry Solan Positively Refuses
To Vote for Any Measure Call
ing for Increases i'm Salary

Judge Gilbert L. Dupre, who has
been hayAg his eye on the treas
uper's Golfers, ever since his advent
into the legislature four years ago,
is still persistent in the flght
against increasing salaries.
Judge Dupre stated, while here
last week, that he would vote
against the proposed judiciary bill,
because it called for an increase OF
salary for the supreme court JUS
tices. His committee, Judiciary G,
evidentally is of the same opinion,
because it has been chopping up
all bills calling for additional pay
for officials, or appropriations not
absolutely needed.
st. Landry's veteran representa-
tive is making a splendid record; he
is so conscientious that ever his
political enemies, and he has only
a few of these, believe that he is
doing his best to safeguard the in
terest of Louisiana.
