GANDERBON’S FORECAST.

JINK. June gets its name iront Juno, who was at the ln-ad of the feminine section of the Roman pantheon. There were no women in those days like Mrs. Pankhurst and Jane Addams, and the necessity tor someone to do that work gave to mythology the celebrated Queen of Heaven. There had not yet .. P. • art d a real woman equal to society's needs. There were good women enough, but women as al sex had no; associated in clubs, there was no suffrage movement, and nobody ad thought of settlement work. In the absence of any living person vho met the requirements of human progress, the Romans conceived a mythical character which served urni; sotnebne could show up. Their mythology was thus indispensable to them, and without it Rome would have fallen much sooner than she did. WhaH finally did cause the fall of Rome was her habit o: casting her fortunes with what she regarded as the winning side after wars had virtually been fought. Refusing to take sides as long as the issue was in doubt, she was always prompt to throw her legions to the support of the victor once she made sure who would win. This led to a great deal of bitterness among her allies, most of whom felt they would have anyway, and it proved in the end the undoing of the most powerful empire the world had known. Caesar saw the inevitable end of such a policy, and did his best to make his countrymen see it. He charged the Romans with being short-sighted, and assured them that unless they quit sharing in the spoils of war without taking any of its chances it ■would not be long until Rome would fall and the once proud population would be selling bananas. Some of the more outspoken advocates of the safety-first party in the senate bitterly resented Caesar's denuncia- 1 tions, and when he left the chamber after a particularly fiery phophecy

of what the end would be he was set upon and assassinated. Mark Antony, who made the oration at the burial of Caesar, called it the funeral of Rome. He said war was a sport, and that unless one entered it upon a . sportmanslike basis one would better stay out. He predicted that the Goths and Vandals, with whom the Romans had an alliance which they had just repudiated for the pur. ose of getting on the right side, would eventually sack Rome, and they did. At any rate, the festive cal; ''■ ill do the military trot, ' (1 lovers in their glee will laugh At man's intolerable lot. tender blueness of the skies :V, ill make the heart of earth revolve, . -■-i ; 'd._ -somethine in a maiden’s eyes Wiil snake the bachelor’s resolve.

The red ' i: will softly steal across meadows with his: lute, the phon''graph• will break a wheel intoning : c.s to suit, the widower will softly V o around the country in his Ford, the man who thought his task was tiirough will get a son-in-law to board, the cook will lightly scorn her pay and wed a watchman twice her years, the man who gives the bride away will shame the crocodile for tears, the smack of love’s ecstatic • kiss will float around among tin. | greens, and men will sail the sea of i : s regardless of th& submarines. j . • . - ' ‘ . • • . .. • • ; Von can't restrain, the force of I vt. though all thi> kingdom come to mix; it is a business far above ' 'W of politics.

The musi c of the katydid will fill the j quiet space of night, the busy whipi poor will will bid the muses hearken t its delight, the boy behind the soda i fount will show us how to hold the ! fort, the joyous golfer will recount the pleasant triumphs of the sport, the fisherman will pack his kit and i start for where the fish are thick, the country boy will prove his grit by going swimming in the crick, the sweet girl graduate will rise and calmly tell us what is what, and making war upon the flies will keep i the swatter on the swat. ' The binder will begin to hum, With college help and dinner bells; With thoughts of opulence to come While Turkey holds the Dardanelles. The farmer; dashing here and there, Will keep his forces on the {rot; One cannot know if one may dare Trust Allah very long or not. ' r he field will be a hippodrome, With farm teams galloping around; And when the men set out from home, They’ll have to do it with a bound.

What agriculture needs at best Is sprinters in their short white pants, And trusting Allah for the rest The industry will take a chance. ' : i The first twenty-one d'gys of June will be under the influence of Gemini, the Twins, the third sign of the zodiac. It is likely that this will f-nabel the kaiser to see two sides to the submarine question and that our side will be given a little kindlier considcration from the • submarines than it has been receiving. The last nine days of the month will be unoer the influence of Cancer, the Crab, the fourth sign or the zodiac. This is an excellent time to back out of anything you can’t make good, and it is probable that we will withdraw our implied support of Gen, Villa at that time. The moon will be full on the 2Gth. And then .July will add its mite To armies slain and vessels sunk, And all good people in the fight Will softly blow upon their pun'l«

Bees Swarm in Coupe.

A swarm of bees appeared on East Houston street the other afternoon, and after buzzing around for a while finally selected the electric coupe belonging to Mrs. Frank Winerieh, which was standing on the north side of Houston street, as the best place in which to settle. Hundreds of them gathered on the upholstered interior of the car and proceeded to make themselves at home in the imprbyised hive. Mrs. Winerieh came out of a store to find her electric occupied by the, unwelcome visitors. Three newsboys enlisted to drive them out, only to be driven back in- defeat by the usurpers. Then somebody thought of a smudge. Rags were wrapped on the end of a stick, then lighted, and the smoking weapon was tnrust through one of the windows. It proved effective, and shortly thereafter the .bees left in search of more friendly territory in which to make their future home.—San Antonio (Texas) Cor. New York Sun.

No Slangy Bible.

Thought it contaiils no slang, the Twentieth Century New Testament 5' colloquial and present-day in its language. Lacking the dignity we associate with the scriptures, even this translation lias failed to awaken much interest. The lYble can be made virile and appealing, in its message without degrading it to the slang level of Coney Island or the bleachers of a baseball park.—Leslie’s.
