Uranus and Venus are both in ma

Above all else love affairs today
may be most unfortunate for in
trigue, deception and fickleness are
believed to be encouraged by the
sway.
They who wed under this rule
should be careful to avoid the least
secretiveness or indiscretion, since
the most trivial deviations from
frankness may be exaggerated into
serious msunderstandings.
This is not a lucky day for be-
ginning of friendships between men
and women.
Importers of millinery, costumes
and finery may find this government
of the stars unsatisfactory in the
way of profits.

Persons whose birthdate It is

How Country Editor. Get Rich.


An upstate editor explains as
follows how country editors amass
great wealth:
After a good deal of study and
work we have at last figured out
why so many country editors get
rich. Here Is the secret of success:
A child is born in the neighborhood,
the attending physician gets $25.
the editor gives the loud-lunged
youngster and the happy parents
"send-off" and gets 500. 1t ~
christened; the minister gets $40
and the editor gets 500. 1t grows up
and marries; the editor publishes
another long -winded, f1owery article
and tells a dozen lies about the
beautiful and accomplished bride,
the minister gets SO and a piece Of
cake, the editor gets 5000. In the
course of time II dies and the doc
tor gets S25 to 800, the minister
gets another SIS. the undertaken
gets from $50 to 500, the editor
publishes a notice of the death and
an obituary two columns long, lodge
and society resolutions, a lot of
poetry and free card of thanks and
receives 10000. No wonder so many
editors are rich"

gas battalion" 1t would seem as
though Philadelphians would need
to be awakened rather than put to
sleep.

threshold and made a deep bow.
Then with a reassuring smile, he
said:

You will forgive me for disturbing
you! 1 came only to suggest that
you might care to visit poor Senior
Johnston before retiring. / fear he
Is very Ill and perhaps a touch of
your cool hand on his brow might
do him much good"
Diana thought quickly.
In view OF Johnston's letter,
which was even then concealed In
the blouse of the little Mexican girl,
It was impossible that Johnston
could be very i'll unless he had i'm
bibed some quick poison since he
had penned that missive. More

Dominguez would risk a meeting

she could manage:
Thank you, senior. You are very
thoughtful. but am tired after my
