MANY THEMES.
BY WALT MASON


I talk all day of divers things, OF
pelicans and ounces, Of cats and
pterodactyls' wings, OF cabbages and
princes. With women l discourse OF
gowns, with kids 1 talk of candy, with
kings I argue of crowns, with soaks
1 speak of brandy. 1t is the tendency
of to have some mental hobby.
and on that topic a n n rage until
we call q bobbie. The man with but
O. single theme calls forth no smiles
or chortles; he makes his hearers wish
to scream, and bores his fellow NOR
tails. One talks of dead, forgotten
jays, whose records were unpleasant;
he droo OILS of prehistoric days, and
scorns the golden present. one
talks forever of his ills, of
sinews that are achin,' and he has
memorized the pills and powders he
has taken. One analyses politics, and
shows just where we're headed, our
statesmen ell are tinhorn hicks who
should be boiled and shredded. And
ell these gentlemen are bores, as +
the themes they're broaching, and
men rush home and lock the doors.
when they are seen approaching. l
talk all day of dogs and cats, of sue
cotash and sabres, of liver pads and
stovepipe hats, and I don't bore my
neighborS.

Astrologers read this as an unusal-
ly fortunate day. The Sun, Mars,
Venus and Mercury are all in bene-
flc aspect.
1t is a most asupicious rule under
which to seek appointments or posi-
tons.
The Sun Is in a place believed to
cause those who rule governments OF
business affairs to become sympathetic
and even conciliatory toward the de-
mands Of workers.
There Is a sign read as indicating
the choice of q soldier for an office of
great responsibility.
Benefits for a diplomatic mission of
some sort are presaged for the United
States.
The stars presage the uncovering of
hidden conditions of every sort. This
period of revelation will affect society
business and government affairs.
The now moon of tomorrow takes
place two hours after the autumn
equinox, and Is most significant In It's
Indications. The seers forecast bust
ness prosperity that will be hampered
by serious labor troubles.
Canada comes under a direction not
altogether favorable.
For Great Britain q powerful trend
toward democracy Is prophesied by
English ~astrologers.
Crime will not abate, but rather will
increase during the winter months. the
seers predict.
Switzerland is to reflect something of
the worlds upheaval, for the position
of Saturn In Virgo Is threatening.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
the augury of an active year, with
care much success in business is prom
ised.
Children born on this day probably
will be endowed With energy n in
telIigence. These subjects OF Virgo

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
The is on to elect Jim Nugent
governor and turn the state over to
the Public Service Corporation and
other special interests. When Nugent
was city counsel of Newark he be-
trayed the city to the Public Service
Corporation in the granting of fran
chLses. He was directed TO draw an
agreement to protect the city and in
stead of drawing an agreement as di-
rected he gave his o. K. to a bunco
agreement thai was drawn in the
Public Service Office. If he betrayed
his client, the City of Newark, then
he would betray the State of New
Jersey If elected governor now.
He later forced the coun-
Gil of Newark, over which he had
control, to pass an ordinance which
would have absolutely put every jit-
ney man out Of business and would
have prevented the operation of every
jitney bus in Newark. It was not
enforceable.
Nugent has been the faithful friend
Of the Public Service Corporation and
other special interests of a similar
character. We must not permit the
state to come under his control. A
vote for Nugent is a vote for Tom
McCarter and for the Public Service
control. The voter must fully realize
that when he Is paying ~exorbitant
oarfare, exorbitant gas and electric
light bills. / think the people OF
New Jersey should realize this when
they vote on primary day.

as senator he introduced a bill to
abolish the present utilities commits

garded the side of the people and
represented merely corporation in

FINE COLLECTION OF GRAPES.

In the Arnold arboretum in Bos-
ton an especial effort has been made
TO show the decorative value of the
grape vines. Not only are these vines
being trained on trellises, where the
different forms can be studied to adj
vantage, bat they are also draped
over the walls in a most picturesque
fashion. Many people who visit the
afboretum are attracted by the use
OF the climbing vines, and especially
grape vines, for wall coverings, and
are adapting the idea TO Their own
estates. Probably the collection OF
grapes which the Arnold arboretum
possesses is the largest in the world.
Few people realize that so large a
number of species exist as can be
found here. No little trouble aud
labor has been expended in forming
this collection, which is one of great
value.
