THURSDAY, JANUARY 2s, 1886

III OhSDA1, JAN OtAhI GO, Aooo : Benefic aspects rule today, accord : ing to astrology. It is a time most favorable to executive work and should stimulate government pro- jects.
 Business men have the best pos sible direction of the stars, but they should avoid speculative enterprises. Trade and commerce should increase greatly, but transactions should in clude little credit f While this configuration prevails foresight in making investments is reliable. The seers advise slow but sure profits
 r Speculation will be widespread and chance will rule again in many hum an activities. Even love affairs may be more of gamble now that usual ly.
 Divorces, though they will be num- erous this winter, will be less fash ienable than formerly. A strong tide lof disfavor is apparent. The death of a European ruler or | former ruler is prognosticated. Sur prising events are foretold for Ger many where financial affairs may be in chaotic state. Young men and young women come under a planetary government that promises much public responsi bility, but they are warned against 5he perils into which egotiSm may lead them.
 This is an suspicious day for we'd dings, love affairs and social con- tacts. Women are subject to plane tary influences that are inspiring to home-keepers as well as writers and actresses.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of general good fortune, but quarrels and small an- tagonisms should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be strongly intellectual and able to attaing high scholarship Subjects of this sign gain fame by l combination of talents and in- dustry.
 Benoit Constant Coquelin, French actor, was born on this day 1841. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Sir Francis Bur- dett, British statesman: 1884; Sam uel H. Turner, Hebraist, 1790.

FOR ORPHANS

phan brothers, seven and nine years
old, who are splendidly behaved
children deserving of real home,
is sought by E. A. Nance, county
probation officer
The children, with their older
brother and sister, were left dis

months ago when their mother died
and their stepfather deserted them.
Appeal has been made to rela-
tives in Oklahoma and to that
state to take care of the youngsters
but the relatives have abandoned
them and the state. on legal tech
nicalities has refused to take the
children although they were resi-
dents of that state.
Homes have been found for the
older boy and the girl and Nance
is trying to find a home where the
two younger children will be cared
for as he believs it is heartless to
separate such young lads.
He emphasized the fact that there
is no behavior problem, that the
children are we'll worthy of the
best of homes, and that although
they have received several offers
for one or the other, he is hoping
that it will not be necessary to
separate the two.
