LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING.
June 9.

ss Z.
A woman born on this date is very
fond Of fine clothes and social posi-
tiOn
She has a butterfly disposition gay
brilliant and unstable. and always
wants 20 be in some other place than
the one she is in. However, she is so
anectionate in disposition and so
generous that her friends readily for
give her faults.
II. however. this woman has a re-
sponsibility to meet or a trouble to
bear. she at once becomes Just the
opposite and is brave and determined
and settles down to a real purpose in
a womanly way. This change 10 op-
posite character comes from the in
fluence of Mercury. the governing
planet. The hrilliancy is the influence
of Gemini. the sign of the double ma
ture. while the warm affection and
brilliancy OF mind is given by the
planet Mercury.
Houses TO rent and apartment for

A pair of two-year old steers broken
and driven by the eldest son of d. A.

the railbirds in Depot square yesterday
afternoon. Although the animals, when
compared with oxen or horses, are infe-
rior in size, they accomplished the task
of hauling big load of oats from Mr..
Perry's farm to Cutler Bros. stable and
did il with apparent ease. City Weigh
er Louis A. Roleau decreed that the load
weighed 1926 pounds and the bsstanders
were ready 10 agree that the steers were
doing pretty well. The heavy haulers
responded quickly TO the urgings OF the
driver and adapted themselves TO trying
conditions in Depot square with more
composure than horses usually exhibit

GERMAN OFFENSIVE
ON EASTERN FRONT
NOW TAKING FORM

London, April 5.-With the capture
of st. Quentin considered foregone
conclusion interest here today turned
to the eastern line inSthe belief that
the preliminary rumors of the massing
of German reserves on the Russian
front were now confirmed and that a
German offensive may be starting
there.
The first impact Of a massed attack
has forced the Russians to give way
along the Stokhod in the Kovel sector.
Petrograd dispatches today mentioned
use of asphyxiating gases. heavy ar
tillery and big forces of men-all in
dicating concerted and carefully pre-
pared assaults rather than mere re-
sumption of general fighting with the
coming of spring.
Immediately after the Russian pro-
visional government assumed control,
the menace of German push toward
Petrograd was foreseen in hurried
preparations which the enemy was
adopting on the front nearest the Rus
sian capital. Germany evidently hoped
to take advantage of the lack of or
ganization of the new democracy. 1t
was the duma governments first care
to strengthen this army with supplies.
