That Sunday Morning Snooze.

Retiring late Saturday night with
expectations of getting in some
extra hours of solid snoozing Sun
day morning, these things hap
pened to disturb slumber:
About a. m. the regular Satur-
day night session" broke up and
as the losers" passed my door
they insisted on telling the world
how much they were "out."
About the middle of the night q
a. m.) the telephone began doing its
bit and was, apparently, the only
one 1t could rouse.
After wooing Morpheus again for
time there came sweet, gentle
tones of the door bell buzzing away
persistently. The explanation, was
that the telegram had to be signed
for"
A short time later, to keep up the
good work (Hubert Work, in fact),
a special delivery letter had to be
signed for.
To cap the climax some musically
inclined fellow got up and turned
on the "Vic" full blast--Raymond
Hitchcock singing CD All dressed

The Sun dominates this day in

It is a day peculiarly fortunate
for all who seek employment. max
ing for high position and good re-
muneration.
Political office seekers should
make the most of their opportu-
mites during this planetary govern
ment.
Campaigns of extraordinary viru-
lence and bitterness seem to be
presaged for the autumn. Women
will not be very lucky in obtaining
ballots.
Great profits appear to be indi-
Gated for certain lines of business.
but speculation will be generally
more successful than manufactur-
ing.
E This In not a very favorable sway
for writer's, who should beware of
contracts signed under this direc-
tion of the stars.
Bad news of some sort that will
cause anxiety to the nation appears
to be forecast by the planetary
aspects.
Propaganda that has to do with
corporations will cause some sort
Of q scandal, the seers declare.
The stars foreshadow bitter con-
tests between the people and the
corporations.
During this sway pride may be
dominant and 1t Is wise to watch
lest arrogance and egotism gain
power over the personality.

Appreciated Parents.

Walking in front of me along
Fifteenth street last evening were two
people. one an elderly little man, the
other a girl about Is years of age.
She was dressed in a sweet girl
graduate" white dress, he in a new
black suit. The two of them were
swinging hands like two children.
But 1t looked to me as though the
the girl had always been in the habit
of holding to "Daddy's" hand. and
that she still felt the need Of that
same staunch and true clasp. Any
way. it looked mighty nice to see a
young girl holding her fathers hand
and seeming glad she had that hand
to hold. The mother and two others
of the family were walking in front
of them as they entered the show
house. 1t must have ben a happy

toad by the hind leg and was drag

resisted stubbornly, in an effort to
