LIFE AND CHARACTER
READING.
September IS.


The person OF this birthdate is SEN
sitive, affectionate and deeply hurt
when criticised and lacking force to
carry through a project TO a success
ful finish. The chief characteristic
Is love Of home and children. The
temperament is calm and well poised,
sympathetic and reliable.
The judgment is exceptionally
keen and there are many talents. but
concentration OF mind and effort
must be cultivated and the dislike Of
criticism must be overcome. The
governing sign Gemini gives this ma
ture a dual character. The birth
planet is Mars.
The moon has a strong influence
on this nature and this accounts for
the variable moods.
These people find solace and help
in music and art and may cultivate
any musical instrument they wish
with success.

piled some very interesting figures
on other equipment having to do with
extraordinary provision for horses

, "You know the old style of brand
ing government horse was to heat
an. iron with the letters u. s. on it
and brand the horses shoulder or
the horses hip SO the hair would not
grow there any more. Humanely
they decided that they would change
the cruel way of branding the horse
and would brand him on the hoof,
and they ordered some branding irons
made of a combination of steel and
copper, for which they paid $14

$4,000 in France. remember. When
the armistice was signed they had
1876, 900 branding irons for which they
paid $2,730.000 and had not branded
a horse. They had an order in for
of harness on hand for every horse
the government owned, and they had
four sets of currycombs, brushes and
blankets for every horse the govern
ment owned. Now, the men in the
cavalry and the Ordnance Corps and
many others rode horses. Mind you,
they had 148.00O horses and $4,000
saddles on hand and an order in for

coming year. In filling these orders
Casper will take the leading position
as home of the worlds largest gaso-
line manufacturing plants.
The southern Standard company is
purchasing the gasoline for distnbu'
ton in world trade. Details OF thu con-
tract which has bee signed have not
been definltel worked out yet but II Is
unofflclaily announced that both plants
operated by the Standard oil com
pany here will be worked at capacity
TO IN this order in addition to other
current business.
The extern of the order is shown
by the fact that In filling the contract
40 tank cars OF gasoline with an av-
erage OF 5000 gallons TO the tank will
be shipped from Casper every day dur
ing the coming year. This business in
addition TO the other business demands
on the local refineries should result in
peak load conditions during the com.
ing year.
1t Is for the purpose OF testing the
yield OF the Salt Creek field and Its
possibility under development hat the
test which will be conducted by the
Midwest Refining company will be un-
dertaken.
The present refining capacity OF the
Standard and old Midwest plants here
IS about $4,000 barrels of oil a day. II
this capacity is taxed all during the
coming year 1t will result in all proba-
bility in Casper becoming the first
gasoline manufacturing center Of the
world.
Heretofore, except for the brief Pc
riod during the war. Casper has been
able to manufacture more gasoline
than could be used in IN of the

Handel, Immortal Composer. Had Re

Duel in Early Life.

The great composer Handel was
born al Halle, February "a, 1884, and
at the outset of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost TO the world by
a quarrel with one Matthewson. an
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but score buttOned under Handels
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke. saved his life, which
was destined TO prove of inestimable
value TO the whole world.
In performing on the organ his
command of the instrument was
amazing, as was the fullness of his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty of his style. Handel wore N
enormous white wig. and when things
went well at the oratorios il had q
certain nod or vibration which de
noted his satisfaction and pleasure
Without this signal it was ce.-tair
that he was out Of humor.

Far Away and Lonq 400.

The brewers parade in New York
city in 1888 has never been duplicat-
ed. There were hogsheads entwined
In hop vines and a live Bacchus was
the feature of the marching fete. But
such a procession did once wend its
way through New York streets, in Gel
ebration of the adoption of the fed
eral constitution. One historian says
in part:
1.-The display of the brewers was
happily conceived and appropriate. In
addition to their banners iuttering
gayly in the air, they paraded cars
with hogsheads and tuns, decorated
with festoons Of hop vines intertwfned
with handfuls of barley. Seated on
the top Of a tun was a living Bacchus
"a beautiful boy Of eight years
dressed In fiesh-colored silk, fitted
snugly to the limbs, and thus disclos-
ing all his fine symmetrical proper
tons. In his hand he held a silver
goblet, with which he quaffed the nut
brown, and on his head was a garland
OF hops and barley ears"
