TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's native will possess consid-
cradle versatility, and an inquiring
mind that will lead toward the study
of unusual subjects. There is some
lack of perseverance and an undue
tendency to worry under certain as
poets which, if unchecked, will some
times prevent the attainment of the
desires, and even a due success in life
