Today We Celebrate
Festival OF st. Anthony.

Catholics in general, and Italian
Catholics In particular, will celebrate
today the festival of st. Anthony OF
Padua, the worker of miracles" the
hammer Of heretics," the lark of the
testament" and the eldest son of ST.
Francis" Thousands of Italians in
every large city in America, as well
as In Italy, will devote the day to pa
rades and religious services, and the
shrines of st. Anthony of Padua will
pc visited by the crippled and sick who
will seek his intercession in the hope
of being cured.
One of the features of the festival
will be the investure Of small BOYS
with the monkish garb of the Fran
cescan Order. These are lads who
have recovered from injuries or Sc
we're illness, and who have been saved,
their mothers believe, through their
prayers and vows to st. Anthony.
Some of the lads will wear the garb
only month or two, others year or
more, and few will be dedicated to
the order for the remainder of their
lives
While the festival of st. Anthony
of Padua Is most generally observed
by Italians, the saint was italian only
by adoption, and was Portuguese by
birth. He was a companion of st.
Francis, who founded one of the great
est religious orders in Christendom.
st. Anthony's worldly name was Fer
dinand de Bulleons. Beginning his
religious career as a poor FRANCISCAN
friar, he was eventually called from
obscurity and for many years he
preached and, it is said, performed
miracles In France, Italy and Sicily
1t was while staying with friend in
the city of Padua. that his host saw
brilliant rays streaming under the
door of the saints room, and on look
Ing through the keyhole he beheld a
little Child of marvellous beauty
standing upon a book which lay open
upon the table, and clinging with both
arms around Anthony's neck"
That circumstance gave rise to st.
Anthony's fame as the protector OF
children and the worker of miracles
in their behalf.

Daily Horoscope

The stars incline, but do not compel.
Friday, June IL, 1918.
Copyright, 1918, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
Astrologers read this as an unim-
portant day in planetary direction
Mars is mildly benefic in aspect,
while Uranus is strongly adverse.
There is a sign held to presage
much internal unrest in all coun-
tries. Uranus making for discomfort
with labor conditions, criticism of
persons in authority and lack OF
large responsibility
Italy may suffer severely from food
problems and from the effects OF
enemy propaganda. The transits OF
Saturn and Uranus in the horoscope
Of the King are inimical to political
affairs and may bring about crisis
this month or next.
The sinister influences registered in
all European countries upon the pop
ulaces will have an effect upon the
cabinet in England.
All the signs appear to presage for
the United States growth of power
to achieve the miraculous, according
to the seers, but they warn the people
that sacrifice and union of supreme
effort will be the price of success
Paris comes under a rule making
for the most extreme excitement, for
extraordinary conditions and for
events that mark a new page in
history.
A royal marriage is foretold for
next month, and this will cause un-
usual comment.
One of the good results predicted
rs result of the war is a new in
tercst in restoring the manned and
crippled from every cause to useful
ness in life. Thus Victims of industry
will profit as well as those wounded
in battles.
The navy is to gain much honor and
recognition. Next month may be a
most memorable time, bringing vic
tories.
Saturn in Leo menaces Italy next
month and warning is given that here
armies may suffer from treachery as
well as from direct attack.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
not travel nor make changes. They
should be very discreet in their deal
ings with others
Children born on this day may be
errat1c and changeable in disposition.
These subjects of Gemini are likely to
be fairly successful in life.
