from the foreman saying he though
we had better try the lad. He sooi
entered the Office, after having bount
himself an apprentice for -four years
"On his first entering the ofiic.
there was quite a sensation among the
older apprentices and journalmcn
They thought they had caught green
one and resolved on treat Of fun.
But the newcomer paid no attention
TO what was passing. He took his
copy and composing stick from the
foreman and stood up TO the desk Of
ems, intent on thought, and all the
world was blank He had not stood
there many days before his Office COM
panions appeared somewhat in doubt,
and the more tame ones began to sniff
q little of the young lion. But they
could not entirely forego the antici-
pated pleasure of initiating their new
friend, so, as his hair was of lighter
hue than they thought became the
trade of ink and types, they applied
the black balls until they thought the
impression would come off intel
ligibly. This was done while he stood
at the desk of types, but none Of these
things moved him, nor did he lose a
single EN- by the operation.
"At the end Of about four years he
went to Chautauqua County, where, !
think he sojourned about a year, en-
ployed as a journeyman printer, but
lost all his earnings by which he had
hoped to place himself in better cir
cumstances. We next see him in the
city of New York, stranger in a
strange city, friendless and alone, in
quest of employment as a foreman
printer At this time he wrote me the
first letter giving any account of him
self since he had left Poultney, stating
his object in going to the city, and the
many obstacles he met with in the way
of obtaining the employment desired
"Now all the rest Of the acts of
Horace Greeley, from the first to the
last, are they not written in the late
New Yorker, The Log Cabin, The New
York Tribune and the contemporary
literature of his country? Except we
have of late seen him at assembling of
nations, speaking for America d the
Paxton dinner, or as an American

INCOME TAX HITS

there are several things which, II they

to help themselves and relieve The

The first OF these is that II must be
done. and done on time, since the
law pr vi6es a heavy penalty for
those who fail to do it. 1t is no eX-
cuse for not filing your return. % say
that you did not know that you had
to do IT or that you lad never done
it before. or that you cid not under

alternatives; file your return on time
or pay the penalty.
The second is that il must be done
correctly (since there are heavy pen
alties for false or fraudulent returnsl,
and that the only right way to do 1t
IS in exact accordance with the form

government, which you can get at

HOROSCOPE.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY -. 1919

Early in the morning Of this day
Venus is in benefic aspect, but later
Saturn and Uranus rule with evil
power. according to astrology.
The seers forecast trouble over
mines and mining affairs. Uranus
is in a place making for misunder-
standings and conflicts between en-
ployers and employees.
1t Is not a fortunate sway for the
aged. who should watch the health
and avoid excitement, which will be
particularly dangerous under this
planetary government.
Occultists declare that the solu-
ton of human problems at this time
of readjustment depends on the
recognition of the brotherhood of
man and the acceptance of the law
of love as the guide.
Women have a promising star for
this days work. and they should
practice concentration and conser-
walton of energy.
1t is a fairly luck sway for love
affairs. if the middle-aged or old
are not concerned in them.
While many young will marry, the
romantic influence of the stars will
not be confined to them, and persons
past youth may make foolish alli-
ances.
Entertainments of every sort
should be fortunate tonight and
theaters should prosper.
The rise Of new theatrical stars.
and the acceptance of better plays
are prognosticated for the world of
drama.
Religious agitation and disturb
ances that have some sort of politi-
cal significance are foretold.
Public health will occupy more
and more attention as the spring
advances.
Washington. D. c.. comes under a
sway, making for much excitement.
Congress will begin n new session
marked by sensational events, the
seers declare.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have rather an anxious year. They
should safeguard both health and
business.
Children born on this day may be
careless and happy-go-lucky. These
subjects of Pisces often have unus-
uaI psychic powers.

Seventy-six years had gone by

John had thriftily taken care to see
his offspring put in a way to pros

quired a substantial property of his
own where the land lay very fertile
upon the banks of the Potomac, and
he had, besides, by three marriages,
made good a very close connection
with several families that had thriv-
en- therea bouts before him.
His sons and grandsons, though
they slackened little the pace he had
set them in his energy at the outset

the estates he had left them, abated
nothing of the dignity and worth they
had inherited. lived simply, and kept
their place of respect in the parish
