Prof Christian Reads in 1t Wonder
ful EataliStic Life.
THE BRYAN HAND.

full Fatalistic Life.
During Hon. VIM. J. Bryan's recent
visit to San Antonio he became ac-
ouaipted with Prof. G. B. Christian
who induced him to have a palmists'
cast of his hand made. Prof. Christian
prepared for The Express the follow
ing reading of the hand OF Mr.. Bry
Mr.. Bryau's hand is of the square
type with mixed fingers. No two fin
gers are formed alike on his hand.
This shows him to be a man of great
versatility of ioeas; he will at times be
full of inspiration and again he will be
scientific and extremely logical: he
will not move from the Idealistic to the
practical, and will be able to discus
any subject with the greatest ease, but
want of continuity will undoubtedly
spoil some of his best plans.
THE HAND IN DETAIL.
The thumb his strong feature. 1t
is long and we'll formed, firmly set in
the hand, both joints If about equal
length: is firm juinteG and waist shaped
the first joint if anything longer than
the second, showing frmness, combined
with reason and tact. if he can act
quickly. People possessing such
thumbs have peculiar influence over
people with whom they come in con-
tact; they have a sort of hypnotic pow
err over their fellowmen: whatever
they say is listened to with interest,
especially if the head line and heart
are as good as it is in Mr.. Bryan
hand. This power is not acquired: it
is born in the Individual possessing it..
The head line in his hand rises from
Jupiter and touches the life line in its
Journey across the hand. 1t is long in
both hands and without break or flaw
in it, and is reddish pink in color. Such
man will have daring determin alton
of purpose: will have talent and energy
and hOundless ambition cum bined with
reason. This man will control others,
yet not seem to control them, he will
take pride in management of his pee
pie or things, and will have caution in
his most daring undertakings.
The heart line in his hand rises from
between the first and second fingers.
The line is clear cut and free from
worrying lines or hairs; it is also high
in the hand there is fork at the be-
ginning, one branch resting on Jupiter.
The main line between the first and
second fingers, showing that altogether
he has happy, tranquil nature, good
fortune and happiness in affection.
Little lines at the end of the line near
the side of the hand show great vital
ity.
The fate line gives him unusual dis
tinction, as there are two of them, both
starting from the life line and each
goes to different mounts, one going to-
ward the mount of Jupiter, the other
under Saturn, but is stopped by a star
in the heart line.
The first one going toward Jupiter is
stopped by the head line and shows
that his plans will be stopped by calcu-
latlons which will cause him mental
worry and anxiety, and his plans will
be frustrated for quite a while. The
other line shows that by persistency
he will succeed in his undertakings in
a measure, but not as greatly as he
would expect or desire.
The line of fate is also interf3 red
with before it reaches it's destination
by the ring of Saturn. This line always
hinders aud interferes with success
cuts off opportunities, so to speak.
The line of sun or brilliancy rises in
his han from the b art line clear in
two pieces, showing that too many
ideas will interfere with his success.
The long third finger helps to carry
out this assertion, showing he takes
great chances in his undertakings at
times.
The line of life in his hand starts
