And later, Chesterton sayk His
wife's sisters stimulated him before he
fell in love with his wife and they
continued to stimulate him long after
he had quarrelled with her forever"
As a matter of fact so greatly did
Dickens love Mary HOgarth that when
she died at the age of seventeen he was
so distraught that he had to abandon for
the time the writing OF "Pickwick Pa
pers." and he always asked to be buried
in her grave. Throughout his life he
worshiped her memory as other men
would a patron saint Another sister re-
manned his friend till his death and when
his wife. Catherine, left him in 1888 this

Those who read the stars foresee for
this day unsettled conditions Uranus
rules strongly for evil in the working
hours and during this period the sun is
adverse. Saturn. Neptune and Mercury
are friendly early and late.
1t is a day in which deception and fraud
are more likely to prevail than under
usual conditions.
Uranus seems to give warning OF a ma
tion-wide scandal, which has its founda-
ton in greed.
Under this sign the public mind is like
ly to be easily in1amed. Hasty and un-
wise Judgment is probable. especially in
government affairs.
There Is a forecast of agitation which
will appear unpatriotic. and violence.
which will be easily overcome may de-
velop in certain large centers of popula-
tion.
This Is not an auspicious rule under
which to make any important decision
whether in government. business or love
affairs.
Those anxious to obtain employment
should delay searching for positions until
a more auspicious sway of the stars pre-
walls.
Advertising continues under the most
promising direction of the planets. New
possibilities in publicity appear probable.
Neptune is fairly kind today. which
should be better than usual for journeys
on the water.
The panama canal, long under a slnis-
ter sway. again has the forecast of acci-
dent or worse. The seers again give
warning as they did before previous
troubles.
During this month the President of the
United States will gain greatly in popular
favor. owing to a unifying of public SEN
timent, astrologers declare.
This month Is not promising for Swcd-
en-, which has strong adverse influences
to guard against.
Railways have the prognostication Of
immense profits and extraordinary busi-
ness.
Many deaths from drowning are indi-
Gated and some Of these will be due 10
floods and foundations.
Persons whose biTthdate il is may have

should be careful in their dealings With

Folk We Touch IN Passing
By JULIA CHANDLER.
Rose LiShts.

When The Man had closed the front
door of The Girls house he stood quite
still in the soft April moonlight expert
encing peculiar sense Of loss-queer in
deed for one who had just asked the
most popular girl in his social set to be
his wife. and had been accepted by her.
For some time he had considered mar
riage the happier way of life and felt
pride in his high ideal of home. Still
more vivid had been his mental picture
Of The One woman-when he should md
her-The One Woman, and the way he
would WOO her.
Alone under the midnight stars The
Mans senseSof wonderment increased. He
was certain that he had not left home
that evening, with any intention Of ask
ing The Girl to be his wife. He had but
meant to pay friendly little call upon a
frivolous girl, popular because OF her
hippant witucisms and clever repar. ca
good enough companion for a lonely r.n-
ing when a chap had nothing else in par
ticular to do
He had gone to The Girl at $50 and at
II he had asked her to marry him. Aside
from this insistent fact the mind Of The
Man was utterly bewildered.
But The Girl chuckled to herself a. she
lay in bed watching the silver moonlight
flood her pretty room. Exultantly her
mind Travelled over the afternoon and
evening from the time she had received
The Mans phone call asking for the
evening to the hour when her rose-pink
trick had triun1pheA.
She had known The Man for a long
time and for almost as long she had in
tended to marry him. But of late she
had seen SO many of her little wiles lost
upon him that she had begun to doubt
until that night.
When she received his message The
ri has aRA
carly spring was still enough in the air
to make excuse for the open fire in the
living-room-a charming setting for q
proposal.
She put rose-pink shades on the can
dies. which. with the open fire. furnished
the only light. and when she came down
TO greet The Man she looked very lovely
in rose-pink frock that Clung in grace
full folds about her slender figure. 1t
seemed to The Man. when he saw her.
that never before had he known how
charming was The Girl, and when she
laid aside her customary flippancy and
put away her singing repartee The Man
was quite swept from his feet by the
sudden sweet seriousness Of her. and the
dattering tender quality Of the confiden-
tial manner she assumed toward him, un-
til at last he found himself with her
crushed against his breast in the flicker
ing light of the seductive fire about II
o'clock, madly confessing for her a love
that didn't at all exist.
1T worked. it worked beautifully" The
Girl told herself sleepily when she had
done marshaling every detail of her tri-
umphant evening across her thought.
And she slipped into a dream of the
years to come with no sense whatever of
the tragedy that her rose-pink trick had
wrought in the life of The Man.

ASK YOUR FRIEND.

There is hardly a neighborhood in amy
city, town or hamlet in the United States
where women cannot be found who have
derived benefit from Lydia Z. Pinkham's $
Vegetable Compound. For more than
forty years this botanic remedy has been
overcoming some of the worst cases of
female ills. AS one woman has found
help she has told another. who has used
it with the same result: so the use Of
this great medicine has spread from
shore to shore by the recommendation
Of those who have found ii good. There
fore. ask your neighbor. let her tell you
from experience the benefit which ailing
women derive from the use Of this fa-
NOUS medicine.-Adv.
