HOROSCOPE

confusing and perplexing.
Women should be especially care
full tomorrow. which is supposed to
make them unusually vulnerable to

tions should be exceedingly wary Of

While the stars may incline the
atrical managers to test new plays,
they are likely to be unfortunate
under this direction of the stars.
For the last few years the seers
have warned that with the passing Of
many artists of the past there would
be a period of apparent dearth Of
great men and women.
The new era is now advanced to
a place where the master minds of
the past have disappeared and this
Is a time of slow development. astrol-
ogers point out.
Merchants and manufacturers
should be most cautious in making
purchases while this configuration
prevails.
The Winter is to bring extraordi-
nary development and expansion, but
there are to be surprising conditions
for all except the far seeing.
Great storms accompanied by high
winds are to be looked for in weather
conditions that have been. as proph

Summer.
Africa and Australia will both at.
tract a great deal of attention with

Venus will continue to aid the
workers all through the Autumn,
when they will prosper greatly.
Crimes in which jealousy is a mo-

increase instead of being reduced. ir

Persons whose birthdate it Is have
augury of a year of fair prosperity

Children born on that day proba-

So Farmer Browns Boy gave the
little Bear-and he was very little
him loose Cubby started off at
once, whimpering and whining. to
look for his mother. But travelling
on three legs wasn't. comfortable
Besides, Mother Bear wasn't there
He didn't know where to look for her
He hadn't yet learned to use that
little nose of his to follow the trail.
Perhaps he was too frightened and
hurt and confused TO think of it
Anyway, he. didn't use that little nose
and he didn't find his mother.
Farmer Browns Boy decided that
it probably would be best for him to
get away from there. He decided L"
go to another part of the pasture
where the blueberries were just as
plentiful and where he wasn't likely
to have trouble with cross Mother
Bear. He had gone but a little way
He looked back. There was Cubby
coming as fast as he could on three
feet Cubby was whining. 1t was
lust as if he were saying: Don't
leave me behind, l want YOU"
Farmer Browns Boy stopped.
Cubby came almost to him and then
he, too, stopped Farmer Browns
Boy reached for Cubby, but Cubby
backed away a little. You see. he
hadn't quite made up his mind about
this strange creature. Somehow, he
didn't know how. this strange crea
ture with the queer scent had got
him free from that dreadful root.
That was more than his mother had
done for him. AS long as he couldn't
find his mother, he wanted to go with
this strange creature. But he wasn't
quite sure Of him yet. That was
why he backed away when Farmer
Browns Boy reached for him.
Once more Farmer Browns Boy
started on. Once more the little cub
started on behind him. He didn't in
tend to be left where he would be
lonesome and frightened.
You little scamp" chuckled Far
mer Browns Boy. II. do believe that
you would follow me home. Well.
I'm going to catch you and take you
home.''
And this is exactly what Farmer
Browns Boy did.

Tonics for Your Hair.

It's been a long time since we dis
cussed hair tonics. These days of
felt hats. there are few women who
do not need something to stimulate
the scalp. Even with short hair that
is easy to keep clean and fluffy and
that blows in the wind and gets well
aired whenever there is no hat on the
head and gets summed, even with all
these advantages, hair tonic is neces-
sary to make the scalp really healthy.
For few hours a day of hot tight
felt hat will do a lot of harm to your
hair.
Here's the tonic 1 like best-it's in
the Beauty pamphlet with lot of
other beauty formulas of mine, but
perhaps you haven't got it:
Precipitated sulphur, 80 grains; car
bon detergent. 80 drops; castor oil, 10
drops: alcohol (95 per cent?, 4 ounces;

This is just a general, awfully good
tonic for hair that falls out, gets too
oily or too dry, lacks luster or color.

held tightly between two roots. The

that little paw Cubby started to

Farmer Browns Boy reached for him
hurriedly. Cubby struggled. He was

Farmer Browns Boy managed to hold
him in such way that Cubby
couldn't use those claws, and very
very carefully he felt of that little

held it. He was sure that no bones
were broken. The paw was badly

PAIR HAD
DEATH PACT
BY international News Service

MARSEALLToWN, iowa. Jan.
21.-Some officials of Marshall
county have a theory that a suicide
pact existed between Charles Eifod
and his school-girl sweetheart, Neda
Bellefeuille. This is based, on
pathetic request written in the
hand of the love-distracted youth,
saying, IF we are found dead
please bury us together, Veda and
Charles, sweetheaIts forever"
In her testimony before a cor.
oner's jury Veda told of the letter
written by her lover before his
death and fastened between their
pictures. although she said that
Charles wanted to take her with
him when he was prepared TO die
in duel for her on December 2s.
The girl disclaimed any part in
q suicide pact- when questioned by
Judge B. o. Tankersley. The sui.
eide pact is just one of a dozen
theories as to how the young tele.
phone lineman met his death, leav.
ing behind him a tear-stained note
evidently written as he was dying.
So lar his death remains .mys.
terry. Officials can see no motive
for murder. Physicians found
no traces of poison in his body.
and yet coroner's jury agreed he
died by violence.
