Today's Horoscope

Literary activity is indicated,
but the disposition is inclined to
be a jealous one, and dissatisfied.
The affections are insecure and
very liable to be given to the
wrong person who will not return
them. Do not permit the iron of
disappointment to enter the soul,
but turn the abilities to the i'm
provement of the social condi-
tons.
