This is read by astrologers as an
unusually unfortunate day. Saturn.
Neptune. Venus. the Sun and Uranus
are all in malefic aspect.
During this configuration the mind
should be safeguarded against de-
spondent, bitter and destructive
thought. for it is held to be most
threatening to the human race.
Rumors and dire tales of all sorts
are likely to be circulated while this
planetary government is operative.
1t is most threatening rule for
public men and seems to foreshadow
violent debates, party schisms and
national problems that will disturb
lawmakers. Congress continues un-
der a sinister rule.
This is a most unfavorable day for
love affairs. Women should be espec-
tally discreet under this direction of
the stars, which Is believed to presage
disappointment.
Saturn gives warning to the aged
and all who represent the old order
of things.
Death will remove many persons
who have held leading positions dur
ing long period, the seers declare.
A political sage, who has directed
one Of the great parties. will end his
career at midsummer, it Is prophe-
sied.
The stars seem to presage trouble
between labor heads and even the
disintegration of certain organiza-
tions.
Democratic ideals are to gain in
power and to reach all classes of men
and women. It Is prophesied, but they
will not prevail until there have been
clashes between men representing
principles that are antagonistic.
Thrift again Is recommended by as
trologers. who declare that saving
should be obligatory as never before.
This is not a lucky rule for the
commercial theater. but great srowth
Of interest in dramatic matters is
again prophesied. The stage is to be
recognized as a new medium for edu-
cation and Is to be aided by the gov
ernment. the seers predict.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of some disappointment in
the coming year. Girls should beware
Of false promises.
Children born on this day are likely
to be clever. Industrious and inventive

I don't see how one could.
His ways they are so fierce and dark.
His manners far from good.
But just because he dimes
As often as he can
Not on rich cakes and purple wines.

His morals should mistrust.
And sneering pass him coldly by

Deems man n dainty dish
Have not great galleons swept the sea
That man might dine on fish:
Sure no one can dispute
The fact with tongue or pen
More men have eaten finny fruit

Let US not criticize the Shark
Lest he retort we're Just as bad
When we eat halibut or shad.
And that he has an equal right
To his peculiar appetite.

Dear Sir;
Your monthly invoice rendered
Is joyfully received "as rendered"
] take this kindly monthly mention
As earnest of your marked attention.
My eyes are quite suffused at sighting
Your Please remit" in your own writing
Yet, after cursory inspection
| send your invoice for correction;
My warm, yes, my sincere advice is
That you revise your current prices
II you'll forgive the obvious Jest,
Ill also add, revise the rest!
Since "currant price" is but one item.
Revise them all, ad inhnitem,
Currants to cabbage, chalk to cheese,
Butter to bread and pines to pease.
| trust sir, that you apprehend me
And would not willingly offend me,
And l shall be affronted deeply
II your bill lets me of so cheaply.
Do you not comprehend, wonder,
The overhead" you labor under?
And are you slow in realizing
Your markct-price is daily raising?
Therefore, as heretofore contended.
Your invoice should be well amended.
Yet, why submit you to such trouble;
I send herein check for double,
Hoping I've thus approximated
Your prices as anticipated.
This settlement, dear sir. I trusts
Not hostile to your rules of ius$ice.
