paper Syndlcate.)
During the business hours of this day
the stars are in menacing aspect,
according to astrology. Mars and Nep-
tune are both in evil place. Late in the
evening the sun has beneficial influence
Uncertainty and depression may af
feet the mind while this CONFORMATION
prevails, paralyzing initiative and en-
couraging a pessimistic outlook.
Mars seems to forecast trouble in
which there Is discussion or military &C
tivity. Troops again may be taken
over water, but westward for short
distance.
Distorted and perverted views on pub
lie issues are still encouraged by the
posting of the stars, which give little
promise of industrial peace.
Women will make demands in the
name of labor which will cause some
sort Of new political affiliations, astrol-
ogers foretell.
The coming months will bring to the
surface many strange secrets if the
stars are read Alright, for in the new era
all that is hidden is to be uncovered.
The evening of this day is propitious
time to seek the support of men in
places in the sun. Ask the powerful
| for precious boons and they may be
vouched wAile the luminary Is in friend

Gifts received during this planetary
government are held most lucky unless

rule continues should pring the most

Lawmakers are subject to stimulating

there will be stormy sessions and bitter

BOOKS AFTER CHRISTMAS,

If to the making of books there is no
end, there seem to be very definite
limits to the publics Willingness to buy
books. These limits are set less by con-
sderations of quantity than by consid-
erations of season. Most people, APP
parently, buy books in December. Does
that mean that they buy them only to
give away? A dangerous practice in
these days, when every man as never
before needs brains and the wisdom
born of experience. Books are distilled
brains. books are condensed experience;
books are not merely pretty gifts, they
are the necessary equipment of the big
game we all have to sit in. willy-nilly
Or Is it at this season that people make
literary provision for a sort OF desert
isle betwiXt Christmas and summer
This, too, is n practice not unattended
with danger Events move with greater
rapidity than before, and books as
never before keep pace with them. The
world of .lnuary and February Is not
the vol - Of December, and the
books of January and February teach
us what December did not know. Teach
us II one insists. what March and April
will prove to have been but inadequate
knowledge; but no one ever said that
these were easy and comfortable times
Yet they are times with a challenge
which the vigorous mind rejoices to &C
cept, times in which only the vigorous
mind, the mind willing at some effort &c
keep itself informed, can hope for eff
fective survival So much depends or
the willingness and the ability OF great
numbers OF people TO think straight and
TO some end. Books offer at once the
guidance and the materials.-The Re-
view.

DEPORTED ANARCHISTS,

It is worth while to pause for a mo-
ment and think. not so much of the
criminalty as Of the unspeakable inso-
lence and effrontery OF these foreign
reformcrs of America. They came over
not when Russia had undertaken to
light mankind TO the new heaven Of
BoisheWsm, but years ago when their
country was in the black night OF czarist
tyranny. We're we not so accustomed
Ia the phenomenon, we should feel that
for them to come here not TO learn but
to teach, not TO help but to destroy, was
a thing which only the inhabitants OF
Bcdlam could look upon as normal or
possible In their own minds they may

is many a poor inmate OF the insane
asylum. They are not insane, however,
except as any man Is insane who does
not recognize the limitations which de-

as member of the society which en-
tertains him our country falls short,
to be sure, OF its own ideals. and In
many points il falls short OF standards
that other countries have attained. But
these very people chose ii because on
the whole 1t is the best that mankind

am merely asserting that there Is no
other such comfort In times Of trial and
tribulation as TO have a true and loyal
woman friend to whom you can unhur-

There's no use In saying that L
does no good TO tell even such a friend
OF your troubles, that she has no magic
wand by which she can Conjure your

the days of their youth and knew the
story of Robin Hood. Friar Tuck and
Maid Marion by heart. it was a bit
disappointing to see it turned into
something SO hot-house like. But
, such lovers Of Robin Hood were in the
minority.
Perhaps the most popular member

a-dale. She sang alone a number of
times and the audience seemed to
want to hear "Oh Promise Me" again
and again. Harry Lonsstreet, who
was Little John" was in Topeka a
few seasons ago with the Dunbar
Male quartette. John MacSweeney in
the role of "F'riar Tuck was a delight
the whole time. Ed Andrews as the
sheriff of Nottingham was enthusiast
cally greeted by those who have seen
him before in his younger days in
opera.
The chorus was made up of really
unusually attractive human looking
girls. They were pretty and well
trained and well dressed. The men
were equally Interesting.
Robin Hood was different from any
thing that has been here this season
and many people would7be glad to
welcome more of its kind.
