What the study of the Hands Tells.

Palmists say that long fingers are a
sign of refinement. A short, stubby hand
argues lack of sensibility; a thin
thumb, rather small, denotes weakness.
Strength of character is SHOWN by the
thumb asserting itself over the other
fingers. If the thumb curves backward,
its owner is obstinate Ladies' Home

conduct of the campaign in Cuba and the
administration OF affairs ON the island.
To such n degree has the captain. general
felt his ill-temper that nobody outside of
his military and civil advisers has been
able to see him since his latest return
from the field That he is in danger of

in spite of many official and scmi-oilicia
denials, for it is remembered the same
course was followed ny the government
