of a pair Of catbirds, who built a nest

The Cathedral boasts a squirrel aero

from the ground. leading to the roof
of that portion of the choir now being

the long journey almost daily, balanc-

disappears in some nook Of his own

hidden a cache of nuts near the aspe.

In America conditions affecting the
drama will change decidedly, it is
prophesied. and while the spoken and

interests and associations, good will
result.
The seers call attention to the fact
that In this transition period much
that appears undesirable Is the nee

Under this direction of the stars, the
younger generation should benefit
greatly, for it is preparing for tremen-
