The original copy Of this funda-
mental instrument of government.
generally known as the "Bill of
Rights" was placed in the State
library in 1874 by one Of Mason's
descendants and will be brought here
on this anniversary date. The exer-
cise3 will include a re-enactment in
colonial costumes. of the proceedings
of the convention in the chamber Of
the House Of Burgesses which culmi-
mated in the adoption of this famous
document. This feature will be quite
realistic and accompanied with more
or less color and pageantry. 1t is

on this memorable occasion will also
be shown. 1t Is kept at Richmond.

Unable to reach a vote on the 16

Action on this resolution probably

some Of the appointees were officers
of the Internal Revenue Bureau at
the time of their appointment late
last month has been made the chief
basis for Senate opposition.

seek fresh fields or pastures new
and the best results can be achieved
only by strict attention to routine
duty and daily obligations. Specula-
tion will not be rewarded by success
and 1t is not a propitious opportunity
for travel. In the evening the aspects
become overcast and gloomy and these
will tinge the feelings. In order to
counteract disagreeable desires or un-
pleasant, ill-considered words it will
be necessary to establish poise.
Children born tomorrow, although
they may have every characteristic of
good health, will rather belle appear
ances and will be subject to many all
ments. Some of these promise to be
of a grave character. IT, by proper
care and syStematical nutrition, they
pass unScathed through the infantile
period. there is every reason to be-
lieve that they will attain a healthy
and vigorous adulthood. Their ma.
lures will be secretive, their disposi.

genial and their friends will be few.
Underlying all they will possess a
great capacity for love and, for the
object of their affection, no sacrifice
will be too great and no effort too
labOrious.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
would be much happier if you could
rid yourself of the chip on the shoul-
der which is always with you. 1t is
ridiculous to think that you are the
only soldier in the regiment that is
keeping step. You are alert. resource
full and able. Your eternal pugnacity

is against you. This aspect of life,
distorted and wrong. not only affects
your career, but influences and mars
your intimate associations. The great
difficulty is that you cannot realize
such a condition is responsible for
your paucity of friends nor for your
very mediocre success. If you could
only get wise to yourself" you have
sufficient strength of will to assume
an entirely different attitude-one
that would breed congeniality and
