"Cheiro"-was in Chicago few days ago
with his wonderful monograph, or thought
machine, a prominent financier fixed his eyes
on the dial and concentrated his whole at
tention on the indicator; in less than twenty
seconds the instrument appeared to him to
indicate that he was the constant victim of
th<ee different kinds of drugs, and finally
that he was a pronounced criminal of the
most vicious type. He was naturally much
distressed until Cheiro Informed him that
he had been looking at the wrong end of the
Indicator. He felt better when this was ex-
planned, and a chart was given him, which,
he confessed revealed his character with the
most surprising and humiliating accuracy

To the Editor Of the Globe.
In your issue of Tuesday Jan T. you say:
1T is possible that the burning of the
Sleeper opera house at Brainerd Sunday may
necessitate a change in the place of hold
ing the state convention of the A. O. H..
which was to have been held in the burned
building next June"

The intention was to hold the A. o. II. con-
vention i'll the above place and not in the
opera house, that it will be readily seen
that, while the city suffers a severe loss in

no wise affects the holding of the convention

Yellow Fever I'm The south.

The people whose good fortune it is to
live in the North, says the Hartford Cour-
ant, do not understand the actual condi-
tion of things this fall in such states as
Louisiana and Mississippi. The yellow fever
has gained foothold there. The efforts
to stamp it out have not been successful.
Nobody knows how far it will spread be-
fore the longed-for frosts arrive. The
dread of it is already spreading on all sides
of the present centers of peril. Men and
women are fleeing from their homes.
Neighboring towns are quarantining
against each other. Community life is
disorganized, traffic is impeded, business
suffers, the poor are threatened with the
loss of employment and wages. No won
der the common council of New Orleans
has asked the Board of Trade, Cotton Ex-
change and other commercial bodies of the
city to join it in asking Congress for a
national quarantine.
