what a New York PaImist Says II
shows in Its Lines.
From the New York World.


An amateur disciple Of Chero, had
long looked forward TO the time when
might read the lines of the palm of some
celebrity An opportunity came recently
when | took a train at Chicago for Flor
ida. William j. Bryan was one Of the
TWO other passengers on the Pullman and
10 my request that he allow me TO read
his hand he replied
Certainly All the astrologers In the
country have cast my horoscope, but no
one has ever read my hand
Mr. Bryan, at my suggestion, put out
his left hand, the hand of Fate. It Is a
beautiful hand, as YOU know if you ever
heard Mr.. Bryan speak and have studied
his gestures. Then ! read il 10 him thus.
1T is the type palmlsts called mixed
the hand itself square, the fingers vary
ing. one square, one comic. one psychic.
You are wonderfully versatile. In one
and the same hour you are inspirauonaL
logical, scientific. You would be perfectly
at home in the physical laboratory, and
you might have been an astronomer.
These two fingers-the first and second
one-are prominently practical. They
mean accuracy, system. order punctuali-
ty. executive ability and extraordinary
commanding power. The wide space be
tween the first and second fingers indi-
Gates an unselhsh spirit, consideration for
others. The third finger tells the story
of a nature deeply spiritual. reverend and
seeing In every human beng the image of
God.
"The owner OF that hand holds audi
ences at his beck and call And look Mr..
Bryan, at the little finger. MIR. Clad
stones was like it! You have an immense
power Of influencing others by writing and
speaking. The finger is that Of a scholar
and a phi,osopher-the easy, brilliant talk
er, too, equally at home on statistics, polit-
tcal pc0UOmV or ShaEegpaaTeF'
ANY tragedies lying around?" asked
Mr.. Bryan.
DO you want me to look for a Presi-
dental wreck with a microscope? We don't
have to look for tragediesi Every house is
fair til the roof be lifted" Emerson says.
Then l resumed my palmistry as follows:
THE thumb is fine-it indiVidualizes. it
is long, firm, slOping it gives dignity and
intellectual force. proper caution,
strength of will, decision. The first pha-
Iange gives you a supreme will, the second
an Irresistible power of logic, the third a
warm, affectonate nature.
"Ihe mount of Mars indicates resistance
to self-consttuted authority. You would
make a frst-class teacher. because your
pupils would be free to form their own
opinions.
DO you see this space down here close
to the thumb? That means a large field
waiting for YOU
rs it fenced in?" asked Mr.. Bryan, with
a smile.
Its not to be fenced in; the bars are all
down; it is public property I replied.
Then / went on:
zone little line of mysticism down here
on the mount of Luna gives you added
reverence for sacred things. Your life is
under the influence of Jupiter Apollo and
Saturn. Saturn is the religious finger"
Whats this long, sweeping lne?"
That's the line of life. 1t says long life,
health, and happiness to you, Mr.. Bryan.
All these ray-lines, long and short rising
in the life line, mean success, power, high
ideals and their realization"
There was sudden stop-thousands of
voices cried out Bryant Bryant Bryant
The famous hand ana it's owner were
borne out into the darkness, and there
was belated train.
