HOROSCOPE.
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER IL. 1871.

This is rather an uncertain day.
according to astrology. While
Jupiter Is strongly adverse. Nep-
tune is in benefc aspect.
Neptune gives fair promise to all
the worlds problems.
Foresight and judicial Judgment
are supposed to be impaired by to-
days direction of the stars.
While this configuration prevails
the mind dominates and the emo
lions are subordinated to reason
This should be an suspicious day
for those who travel by water,
promising pleasant associations and
safe transportation.
Honors to a naval commander
who visit this country from the
Orient are foretold.
Jupiter is read as presaging a
thwarting of plans made by persons
in high place.
Judges and lawyers today are
subject to a rule of the stars that
| thwarts plans and diminishes eff
ficiency.
There is a sign read as fore
shadowing a legal case Of interna-
tional concern.
Taxation in a novel form is fore
| cast but it will bring greater re-
lief to the wealthy than to. those
Of limited means.
Portugal and Switzerland may be
expected to feel the opposition OF
Mars and Uranus.
London is now to be the center of
activities that will influence the
financial world.
Persons whose birthdate II is

larly unfortunate.
Children born on this day may be
inclined to be careless and ex
travagant. They probably will be
very talented but they should be
trained in habits of thrift.

Texans ShoU
Confidence in
Their Rangers

IF the United States won't

Texas Rangers will" That is
what people OF Texas said when.

keeping the border people in

the Texans have in their Rang

One time a Texas Ranger was
caught in a ranch house which
was beseiged by a band of Mex
leans Only the rancher and
his wife and daughter were on
the ranch. Along came another
Ranger who had expected to
meet his pal at that particular
ranch house. He Crept as near
TO the house as possible. Slen
he got up and walked coolIy in,
right under the fire of the as

Rangers held of the whole at
lacking band for hours, until a
detachment Of Rangers arrived
and settled the matter. That Is
one reason why the Rangers are
so respected.
The Texas Rangers Is a very
old organization. Its members
helped to build the State OF
Texas. Numbered among their
men are many famous and dar-
ing fighters During the Com
anche war OF 1S4O-73 the first
band of Texas Rangers as we
know them today was officially
organized.
The Rangers have no natty
uniform. Chaps" a flannel shirt
and a Stetson-that is their OUT
fit They provide their own
horses and are given carbines
and pistols. They have no school
OF training, but are plain, every
day Texans who have sworn TO
uphold the law, and who are
willing to take long rides with
out food and sleep and to face
danger till the very end.
There are four companies or
Rangers in Texas today. Thev
are listed as constables, and each
Ranger has a certain territory
to patrol

Thrilling Tales
Are Found in
he"CLassics''

Many a voting man thinks that
in order to find exciting fiction
he has to go TO trashy detective
stories and midwest thrillers.
But some Of the most thrilling
adventures are found in stories
that are known as classics"
Robert Louis Stevenson tells
the story OF David Balfour, a
Scottish boy who was staunch
ami fearless. His father died and
the boy was sent to live with
an uncle" an old miser. The
uncle had defrauded David's
father out Of some money and
he was afraid tlht David would
find 1t out, so after David had
located with his unc :. the old
man hired some sailors to kid
nap the boy and take him from
Scotland to Virginia to work in
the tobacco fields. This all hap
pened at the time when the new
world was being colonized.
During the trip to Virginia the
boat on which David was carried
ran into a smaller boat. smash
ing 1t completely. Only one
passenger of the smaller boat
was rescued-Alan Brock,
Scottish fugitive on his way back
to Scotland with money for his
clansmen who were rising
against England. The crew of
the larger boat planned to
murder Alan for his money, but
David finds it out. He warns the
Highlander. The two Of them
intrench themselves in the
round-tower of the ship. There
they hold out against fifteen
men.
David told of the end Of the
fight with the crew in these
words: Alan, leaping back to
get his distance, ran upon the
others like a bull. They broke
before him like water. turning
and running. and falling one
against another in their haste.
The sword in his hands flashed
like quicksilver - wa.
lost when, 10! they were ali gone,
and Alan was driving them along
the deck as a sheep-dog chases
sheep"
How David and Alan escaped
from the murderous crew and
made their way back to Scotland
Is told in Stevenson's story

cured at any public library.
