C. THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1906. ;Ve had a call Tuesday from James Green FearingJ Jr., the sweet four monms oauy hoy or Mr. and Mrs. James G. Fearing. He Is a bright lit tle fellow,' and when he ;sees his mother he expands his cerulean eyes, leaches out his little hands and opens his mouth for a kiss. His loving moth er returns maternal love, that recalls the holy devotion of the babe of Beth lehem. We would like to give the horoscope of the little fellow, but we can guess. He! is a remarkably pret ty child, but pretty is not lucky as the world goes He is in danger of being a petted and spoiled! boy, and being smothered by caresses from the girls when he becomes a man. His eye is bright and cerulean which in dicates intelligence. His head is rounded and well proportioned which indicates a balanced character. His face beams with smiles, which indi cates benevolences, aiid he looks around with an inquiring gaze, which means observation. God bless the baby boy, and make him an honor to his parents.
