A PALMIsT's PROPHECY.
He Predicted In 1898 Commodore Dewey
Engagement In a Battle.

Commodore Dewey, SO a palmist said
in 1895, had vast amount of physical
endurance, was storage battery of en-
ergy and industry and was : stranger to
aches and pains. He had u brain of
more than ordinary size and strength.
He was dauntless and undismayed I'M
der all circumstances and possessed won
derful decision of character and deter
mination and had an iron will. He pos
sessed great independence Of character.
He was always cal1a and self possessed
in the presence of danger. He was a
man who never swerved from his con-
oeption of right, but never let piety or
worship interfere with duty, business
or pleasure. He was high minded, new
er descended to clannishness and soorn-
ed to do mean act. He was natural
sailor, and never SO happy as when at
sea. He was born soldier and an ex-
cellent strategist. He was wonderful
geographer and never forgot the loca-
ton and appearance of place he had
visited. He had strong social feelings,
chung to friends and loved children and
home. He was ambitious, but not blind
ed by popularity. He was sensitive, but
had perfect control over his feelings
His heart was too big for his purse. He
admired beauty and loved poetry, mu-
sic and art. He was a great observer
and a good judge of distance and pro-
portion. But most wonderful of all he
was to be engaged in battle within
three years in which he would be
slightly injured, but would never lose
his life in BATTLE Chicago Times Her

IAN American Justification.

Cuba is a sort of Armenia in the
American back yard. What is occur
ring there not only shocks the moral
sense Of the American people, but it
touches their pockets and their national
security. Finally there is no prospect
of a change except through some exter-
nal agency. Hence the duty of the
United States to take action is clear.
The task of paoification devolves upon
her by right, and it is right of which
she cannot divest herself. = London

AN EARTHQUAKE WARNS


 And now anothed phenomenon can be attributed to the earthquake of last November, which shook things so gen. erally in Montana. In Helena it was reported that deaf mute had found speech as the result of the earth shak- ing itself.
 Senator Alex. Metzel of Twin Bridg- es, or, as he calls 1t, Fuller Springs, so named from famous hot sprin on his ranch, says that the quake increas- ed the temperature of the water of the springs a dozen degrees. The day after the earth trembled one of the senator's sons thought he would go out go out to the springs and take a bath, as was his custom. He got into the pool and then he got out, for he found the water unusually hot. A thermom- eter was brought into use and 1t was found that the temperature was over no Fahrenheit. Before the earthquake it was along in the nineties. Several tests of the temperature taken since the earthquake have shown the same considerable increase over what it was before the earthquake.
 "I am firmly convinced that the in- ternal troubles that resulted in the earthquake turned on a warmer supply of water and raised the temperature of my springs from ten to twenty de- grees," said Senator Metzel. We have been keeping track of the temperature of the springs for years. It never in creased or decreased until the change that was noted the day after the earth quake. I was in the east at the time, so I cannot vouch for this part of the story, but the boys say that besides be- ing warmer the water for two days af- ter the shock was milky white. ."-From the Helena Daily Herald
