Mercury. Uranus, Mars and Venus
dominate this day in benefic aspect
according to astrology.
During this sway all fine, con-
structive activities are subject &c
the best possibilities.
1t is especially favorable to pub
fishers and advertisers, for they
should profit exceedingly under the
direction of Mercury.
Uranus on the cusp Of the third
house denotes railway accidents
ard in one of these a prominent
official will receive injuries. the
seers foretell.
Scandals that will be investigated
by legislative bodies again are in
dicated, and they will affect men
in high positions.
Again there is the prognostica-
tion Of a legal case that will at
tract worldwide attention.
The elimination of Mars and We
nus with Uranus threatens earth
quakes or tidal waves on the east
coast of South America.
This should be a lucky wedding
day, since all good influences ap-
pear TO prevail.
Marriages will be fairly nuu,er-
Gus this month and next. but many
of the summer-t time romances will
bring disappointment. ~
Honors for soldiers are indicated
by the aspect of Mars, which seems
to foreshadow an appointment OF
unusual distinction for an army Of
fcer. -tN
Again the stars are read as bod
fng slow progress for the disarma-
ment conference, since Mars is in
strong domination.
Venus seems to promise that
.wemen will organize for peace and
seek recognition in discussions con
corning the future world policies in
regard to war.
Women have the best sort OF
planetary direction today, which
stimulates their energies and prom
Fes success in large enterprises.
Theaters now come under a sway
making for novel ventures and new
successes.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is
have happy augury for the year
Much social diversion Is forecast
The young will court and marry
Children born on this day have
happy days before them. Money
success and friends are presaged.

NEW YORK. Oct. "A page
from the diary OF a modern Samuel
Pepys: Up, resolving to labor dill
gently but my poor head empty.
Played a while on the harpischord
with one finger until my wife, poor
wretch, took leave in a pet. Lew
Ccwdy, the actor. called and sat
awhile and we talked of the Ar
buckle affair, now much in the pub
lie prints.
Through the town and near my
inn a fellow stopped me, calling
me by name, and said he had been
sent by another to get moneys, but
I believed him to be a wicked rogue
and found II was true. perceive
a great change in the city with so
many returning to town and find IL
much gayer, too.
stopped to see my old school,
master, Prof. Duncan, and / do
find him a very able man of his
brains and tongue. Away with him
to lunch at a Greek kitchen, the
food not very good but withal
cheap.
In the evening to see The Man
in the Making" which l thought to
be the bravest play of the season,
and between the sets Jack Lait, the
| chronicler, and G. Buck agreed with
me. Home and read p. Kyne's THE
o-Getter," mighty fine, and so to
bed.
Fate continues to pursue Evelyn
Thaw. Her little tea shop off
Broadway attracted the curious for
awhile and then business dropped
off. The other night four men tried
to kidnap her and the next day a
sheriff called to dispossess her.
She managed to borrow enough
| money to send the sheriff away and
, then invited the crowds in to have
cup of tea on the house. The
former Floradora girl looks worn
! and drawn. She does most of the
work around her shop and her son
Russell toddles about from table to
table, greeting visitors.
The private night watchman on
our block is lonesome and garru-
lous. i have held many conversa-
tlons with him while the city
| sleeps. Nothing has ever broken
the monotony OF trying doors In
private homes. Once he thought
he had a burglar but 1t proved to
be the owner OF the house trying
to slip in without waking his wife.
Night watchmen have their big
| dreams. My friend tells me that
for many years his ambition has
been to be a ticket taker at the
Polo Grounds. 1T keeps you out in
the open air." he explained
Speaking of outdoor life, my
from the wilds Of Michigan that he
is an hours walk from his nearest
neighbor. He wears an army shirt
and a pair of khaki pants and for
a companion he has Wassaquam
after whom "Wassaquam." the In
dian valet in Mr.. MacHarg novel,
The Indian Drum" was named.
He also sends a picture of himself
and the Indian. The latter is fell
ing a great tree while MacHarg
arms akimbo. looks on. That is
the usual posture Of New York
| woodsmen.
The latest charge by the benev-
| olent New York landlords is for
elevator service. II one lives at
home and has many visitors at the
apartment house a charge of $40
a month is. made for this service.
OF course, If one merely goes out
in the morning and comes back in
the evening no charge is made.
That is thrown in extra.

what IL can do for you in your
business, there are meetings
that you will not want to miss.
Practically all Of the societies

BY keeping an eye on the ad-

The societies themselves
