McCutcheon's Thirtieth.

Like most famous writer's. George
Barr McCutcheon's first story was
refused by about half a dozen pub
lishers-in fact, it never got into
print at all and Is at present locked
up with the authors other rare
manuscripts. This Maiden Effort"
was written at the advanced age OF
twelve and entitled Panther Jim:
or the Scouts Revenge" 1t was
followed shortly by THE Red Aven-
GER" which met with a like fate at
the hands of unintelligent maga-
zines: and a fve-act play evolved
about this same period was also re-
turned by the heartless actress to
whom it was submitted. 1t was in
deed several years later before Mr..
McCutcheon genius was recogniz-
ed: but when il was-well, we've
forgotten how many million of his
books have been sold to date; and
now there's a new one, The City OF
Masks" a humorous tale OF New
York's unknown aristocracy - the
counts and barons and princes royal,
who dwell in our midst incognito.

Germans in Belgium. He doesn't
tell all OF those crimes, or the

He exercises a wise discretion and
keeps well within the limits Of
the permissible, the commendable,
and the essential-the essential

public be forced clearly to realize

Sunday. October 1s, 1918.

This is not lucky day. according
to the reading of the stars. The Sun
and Mars are in evil place.
Under this configuration there may
be serious setbacks for men who are
working for high positions. This ap-
plies to capdidates for office as well
as to men ambitious in commercial
enterprises.
There is sign read as presaging
the exposure of a person who be-
trays a government trust.
Machinery, which will continue to
he more and more important in all
that pertains to civil as well as to
military life. has a planetary govern
ment that presages wonderful i'm
provements and extraordinary inven-
tions
This is not an auspicious sway for
those who handle dangerous weapons
or use machinery, as there is sup
posed to be unusual danger of acct
dents.
The seers foresee that some sort
of a scandal may attach to army
officers who have had places in the
Sun.
1t is prophesied that America will
have in one year of war all the ex-
periences that other nations have had
in four years, and that their tendency
toward intensive action" in what
ever they do will make a new world
record in attaining speedy victory.
The Moon is in a sign that seems
to indicate success on the water. This
means, also, that there may be Ieal-
ousy and suspicion aroused concern
ing the commerce of the future.
Trouble, or rather difficulties, in re-
gard to hospitals again is fore
shadowed, and this may mean a
shortage of physicians and nurses, al
though astrologers foretell clashes Of
opinion regarding methods of treat
ments and general policies.
The seers continue to declare that
America will lose comparatively few
men in battle. That our boys will
have many tales of miraculous escape
is prophesied.

prisoners as his own father. The
father had been back in Germany

and had been drafted. The father
explained with frantic gestures 20
the son that he was lighting for the

FELLOWSHIP,

FELLOWSHIP.
I've never truly known
Just what it meant to be alone,
Because each tree I see
Is friendly unto me,
And every rose
That In the garden grows,
And wild-flower in the grass,
Mods at me as pass;
And from the skies on high
Stars seem to wink an eye

Whereby what lonely stress
As seems to cloud my day
In natures fellowship fades guilt
