HOROSCOPE.
THURSDAY. NOVEMBER IL. 1921.

This is read as very doubtful
day by astrologers who find that
although Neptune is in benefic as
pect early in the morning. Venus
and Mercury are adverse later.
During this rule women may find
themselves inclined toward vision
airy schemes that waste their ener-
gies.
| 1T is read as an unfavorable rule
| for actresses and the signing Of
contracts under this direction of
the stars may be very unlucky.
Theaters at this time may meet
with some condition that is unfor-
tunate for managers.
The seers foretell from the as
poets of Mercury some demand for
change in modern publicity methods
beneficial for the newspapers.
Washington comes under the In
! fluence of this rule which makes
for concentration of news bureaus
and elimination Of correspondents.
Writers have rather a menacing
sign that presages a period in which
they may meet with unfavorable
conditions.
The evening OF this day may be
a most inauspicious time for lovers
meetings and particularly unlucky
for girls who will discover that men
are tickle.
Milliners and modistes may not
expect a particularly brisk trade
while this configuration prevails,

An ususual susceptibility among
college students is indicated by the
aspect Of Venus which are read as
foreshadQwing many romances be-
fore the Christmas holidays.
Music Is to be more than ever
popular in the West during the
winter season, when San Francisco
and Chicago will be subject to par
ticularly favorable directions Of the
stars.
Persons whose birthday II is may
experience many trivial annoyances
during the coming year. but they

Wildcat Scare
Goes AWry as

What are you three boys talk

came down the path swinging a
pail on her arm.

earelessly.

water with you" Milton offered.
When the two were gone, Ralph
and Lew continued to talk ex-
citedly.

IF she knew there was a wild
cat around here she'd get mother
to pack up tomorrow and beat it
back to the city. We've got to
keep the fire going all night. They
say they're scared OF fire."
"A couple OF fellows down the
river saw 1t last night again." Lew
added. They said it had only
one eye, all cleaning"
Ralph's sister and Milton came
back from the well and they all
went back to the camp together,
and forgot about the wildcat.
The late autumn evening was
chilly. so they had a good excuse
for a good fire. They all sat up
late, toasting marshmallows and
telling stories. Then Mrs. Cameron
announced that they must go to
bed.
Il guess I'll bring my blanket
out and sleep by the fire all night"
said Lew. 81 think II would be
fun. I'll keep the fire going and
it'll be all ready in the morning"
But Mrs. Cameron was afraid
Lew would take cold. While thew
were discussing his plan. Helen

Suddenly Ralph grabbed Millions

was served to him, and he ate and
drank-then he drank little more.
Finally he called the landlord and

fess that the wine is good: but
thou art a knave."
The poor landlord was very much

down, and soon the wine was get
