THURSDAY, NOVEMBER ), 1921.
Threatening stars rule this day.
according to asrrology. Mersury.
the sun and Mars are all in malefic
aspect.
There Is a sign read as presag ng
an extraordinary amount Of news
that Is discouraging to humanity
inasmuch as many unusual crimes
will be reported.
Evil rumors are likely to be pre-
valent during this planetary gov
eminent and men in positions in the
sun VIII be assailed by scandalous

Persons who seek publicity should
not attempt to win public favor I'M
til the position of the stars has
changed.
All the signs Seem to give warm
ing of injustice and quarrel over
conditions caused by intense ind =
vidualism, for there will be a no
ticeable increase OF egotism among
persons Of every class
This Is not lucky sway for those
who desire to obtain favors or sup
port from persons who WELD power
or influence.
Again mil;ta matters will be
widely discussed and army AFFAIRS
Will come much before the people.
Mars seems to forecast dfssatiss
faction among soldiers and the
seers predict that veterans OF the
recent war will seek political power
This Is held to be an uniucky day

Stormy weather through the
greater part OF this month IS fore

more numerous than they have been
for several years.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may
have some business anxieties owing
to disagreement with partners but
they should prosper in the coming

should be diligent.

Bills Surprise

At last the clock struck IL
and Bill sat up in bed. He had
not trusted himself to go to
sleep, for fear he wouldn't wake
up. He had pinched himself
until he was sure he was black
and blue.
- Quickly. but silently. he
climbed out of bed and stealth
lily tiptoed over to a shelf in the
corner of his room. where he
left his odds and ends tucked
away in neat boxes. He felt
about until his fingers touched
a square box. He knew that
across II was written, Happy
birthday. Mother, from Bill" He
o Rugged the box closely and
opened the door very, very
slowly. Then he crept down the
hall to his mothers room. 1t
seemed to Bill that every board
let out a loud groan when his
foot touched il, which was
echoed BY every other board In
the house.

set the box on Il very carefully.
Then he slipped on back TO his
room. He dozed on. thinking
how surprised and pleased his
mother would be.
When he awoke in the morn
ing the sun was already pouring
in the window. He jumped out
OF bed and started for the door.
He almost fell over a box lying
ON the floor. He stared at IL In
bewilderment.
Just then his mother. coming
down the hall. looked In and
asked. bill. whatever did you
