HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, May I, 1917.

This should be a fortunate day, since
the Sun rules strongly for good. while
Neptune is friendly. Saturn is slightly
adverse.
This is a time that should be lucky
for all who seek new activities Of every
sort, Appointments, recommendations
and even financial aid should be readily
obtained under this rule of the stars.
There is a promising sign for promo
tions in all lines of business, and for
honors for army and naval officers
especially for those past middle age
men who take up duties that have been
laid down
Some sort Of advantage on the sea Is
presaged. This may be commercial but
astrologers read it as having something
to do with the strategy of war ol
diplomacy.
This is an auspicious sway for the
President of the United States insofar as
it foreshadows access Of popularity
through acts that reveal frmness oi
will and fearlessness of character.
1t is noteworthy that the stars which
promise much to public men in the way
of success and fame, also indicate thai
those who are favored by popular ac-
claim may suffer in private life
The rule is not beneficial for the aged
who may suffer from depression and Ill
health.
Again the signs appear to give warning
that sensational occurrences on the
western coast or in the Pacific ocean
may add national problems to the many
already under consideration.
Riots and troubles in the Middle West
are prognosticated. Secret societies viii
make trouble
Women have q direction making for
high achievement in all lines of practical
work. They will gain great national con-
sideration in the next few months, the
seers predict.
Agriculture is subject to a sway Jpronis-
ing extraordinary profits to farmers, but
they must lookout for a plague Of in
sects or other pests.
Severe storms that will cause heavy
losses In the West are prognosticated
for this month.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the
forecast Of fortunate year. Those who
are employed may be promoted.
Children born. on this day will prob
ably be successful, for these subjects of
Taurus gain distinction through merit

Uncle Sans Soldiers
Hobnobbing with Elite

II you see a file of United States
soldiers march out of a fashionable
Columbia road apartment house
some of these fine evenings, don't
get the idea that they've arrested
an alien enemy. They are simply
members of the army guard that
are protecting the home of Assist
ant Secretary of State Brecken-
ridge Long. in Sixteenth street,
where members of the British COM
mission are -quartered.
These soldiers are living on the
fat of the land. Three times a day
they fix a meal guard and then
march three or four blocks to Sew
enteenth street and Columbia road,
where they hobnob with wealthy
apartment tenants at nearby tables.
Instead of tin plates and knives
and camp fare these soldiers are
eating with heavy silver plate, from
fine china and learning how to or
der food with French names.

Inadequate and uncomfortable are the
sleeping quarters of the detective
sergeants assigned to night duty about
police headquarters In the Municipal
Building.

half way to the ceiling of the long hall

The few hours sleep that the men on
such duty are able to catch between calls
for duty are nightly interrupted by per-

Of telephone calls and, in the early morn

DELIVERY WAGON BOOSTS COST
Survey Made Here shows Expense
Is Chief Factor in H. c. l..

A plea for the elimination of the de-
livery wagon as a factor in modern
marketing, was made yesterday by the
Department Of Commerce.
A census Just completed by the depart
ment shows that in the District of Co
lumbia the per capata delivery cost is
$40 a year. The average family delivery
bill for the year 1915 was $3.50.
Similar censuses will be taken In other
American cities, but the Department of
Commerce believes the results found here
are fairly representative. Its conclusion is
that the delivery wagon is one of the
most important factors in the increased
cost of living.

Greeks Had No Standard.

The ancient Greeks had no standard,
although they vcneruted the elnblems
on their shields as we our flag. The
first flag used by the Greeks was dec
GRATED with q two-hcadcd eagle and
was used in the revolt against the
Turks in 1864. In the revolution Of
17G9 q white flag with a blue cross was
raised. In 1903, when Ali Pasha was
ravasing T%hessaly, John Stathans led
q flotilla into Skiathos under a flag
which was the same as that in use at
the present day-blue with q white
cross. The first flag Of the great revo-
luton was raised by Marco Botzaris,
on October 25, 1920. 1t was white with
an icon Of st. George. On January /,
1922, the national assembly in Epidau-
rus, at the foundation Of the independ-
ence Of Greece, defined the Greek flag
as follows: On the land, nine horizon
tai stripes, a plain blue flag in four
quarters, with a white cross in the mid
die, to be called the 'land flag" On
the sea, nine horizontal stripes, five
blue and four white, with a blue
square in the corner in four quarters,
on which is q white cross. This is the
flag known as the Greek flag today.
The blue ground is very dark.

MIDDLE-AGED MEN SUPERIOR
They Have Training and Experience
Impossible for Youth to Have
Obtained.

What are the accumulations which
ought to make fifty filter to exercise
authority than twenty-five? Book
knowledge partly, but for the most
part thoughts, q writer in Harper's
says. BY the time he is fifty a man
who is to amount to anything should
have come to a few large, seasoned
convictions that are part Of the fiber
Of his mind.
Convictions of that sort are not
blithcly obtained out Of books. Books
may have to do with them, but they
are acquisitions Of the spirit, and
though the rudiments Of them may be
come by in youth, they need to be tenn
pered, tried out and adjusted to prac-
tice by years of thought, talk, observa-
ton, effort and experiment with life.
Washington at twenty-five had in him
the rudiments of the Washington that
was to be, but had nearly twenty years
Of training before he took command
Of the Confederate armies, and he was
first president ut fifty.seven. Lincoln
in early manhood CROPPED his way
through grievous distress and perplcxi-
ties, but by the time he married, when
he was thirty-three, he had come, 1T
would seem, to a clear sense of the
fundamental convictions that made
him. Eighteen years more he thought
and read and talked in courts and
taverns, and pleaded on the stump the
faith that was in him, and Travelled
variously, and then at ffty-one he was
elected president. Pitt, prime minis
ter at t%wenty-four because England
was short handed and couldn't wait
for him to get his growth, broke down
in the middle Of his job and died at
forty-seven. Napoleon was first con-
sui at thirty, had completed his &C.
tivities at forty-six, and died at fifty
two. Alexander Mt thirty-three had

series Of tragedies altogether out of
proportion to the situation.
The lesser actors could not avoid
basking in the light of Johnson's repu-
tation. In particular Carr was unable
to abstain from letting it become
known that it was he who had check
mated Killion and Paradise in their
attempt to "play a habeas corpus
stunt" The news reached Killion's
ears. He brooded over it all the time
that he was in prison, and, when he
came out, he resolved to be revenged
on Carr.
However, he did not take any i'm
mediate steps toward this end. Cir
cumstances would have to be propi-
tious. The bad man" is always a
coward unless crazed by drink. When
Killion was crazed enough to be reck-
less, and Carr happened to be in the
vicinity, there would be the conjunc-
ton Of circumstances. That conjunc-
ton occurred.
Killion had a notorious record. He
had run a gambling house in Caney
for several years, had been many
times in the county Jail, and had been
implicated in a number Of shooting
ARRAYS, though mostly for the purpose
of acquiring a reputation as a desper'
ado than for killing. Soon after his
release from the %penitentiary he was
arrested by Carr upon the streets OF
Caney for drunkenness. and was pa
rolled by the Judge. Killion was not
quite drunk enough to screw himself
up to the point Of murder. but he
threatened Carr.
"Ill get even with you for this"
he snarled. II haven't forgotten that
trick you played me about Pussyfoot,
either"
Carr did not reply, but took Killion
to the police station.
A few days later Carr, while ma
king his rounds, discovered that a
poker game was in course of progress
in a certain building, and, going in
took possession Of the chips and other
paraphernalia. He did not know at
the time who was the owner of the
place, but discovered subsequently
that 1t was Killion. This act eEraged
Killion all the more. and he conceived
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1917-04-26

desirable to do in the world at that
time and departed out Of it. Youth
makes a greater figure in war than in
anything else, but war is Il compare
lively simple business and can be
learned young. In most matters men
are lucky if they can take their time
to learn and escape the prices and
the heavy responsibilities Of leader
ship until their thoughts are matured,
their Skill is fully practiced and their
characters have been shaped and hard
ened in the forge of life.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1917-04-26

the idea that Carr was his real enemy.
Killion drank all that afternoon and
made threats that he was going to kill
a marshal, but nobody took him very
seriously. At ten that night, while
Carr vas having his supper in Ern-
hardt's saloon, Killion staggered up
to the door and called him out. Carr
went out and they were seen to walk
a short distance together. Then Kill
lion swung around.
you've been bounding me, you liar,
and now I'm going to get even," he
cried. and whipping out a revolver.
he SHOT Carr four times.
Carr returned the fire, but he a
too badly wounded to take aim. He
fell to the sidewalk, when Killion
sprang upon the dying man and be-
gan pounding him savagely about the
head with the butt of his revolver.
He then took the marshal's club and
star and threw them into the street.
Carr died thirty minutes later, but
lived long enough to make a state
ment to the effect that Killion had
fired the first shot.
The death of Carr Infatuated the
town, for the dead man, who had been
a carpenter by trade, bore a reputa-
ton as a quiet, peaceable citizen, and
was universally popular. He left a
widow and several children. Killion,
who had escaped to his sisters house,
was tracked there, and the house was
surrounded by a mob, which threat
ened to blow it up with dynamite un-
less Killion surrendered. Killion gave
himself up and was lodged in Jail.
There was much talk of lynching him,
but no concerted action was taken.
At the trial it developed that Kill
lions father had also been a murderer.
The jury vas out only ten minutes.
and brought in a verdict of guilty Of
murder in the first degree, after
taking a single ballot. AS capital pun.
ishment has been practically, though
not theoretically abolished in Kansas,
Killion was sent 10 the penitentiary
for life.
That was the first death to arise out
Of the Monte Carlo raid. Others we're
to follow.
