BRYAN AND PIANIST.
Hand Reads Success, Great Ambi-
ton, Short Life.

Lincoln, Neb., March 21.-According
to palmist, the lines in William J.
Bryan's hands indicate success.
He pronounces his thumb remarkable.
It shows extraordinary will power, that
he is an acute reasoner and a deep
logician. His life line is not very
long, ending at so years. His little
finger indicates great influence over
others.
The Mount Jupiter shows him to be
extraordinarily ambitious, and the line
of Mars that he has the necessary ply
steal strength to bear, for many years,
the strain of his exertions- He is not
impressionable, but an ideal political
revivalist. He has little desire for the
accumulation of wealth, all that is of
secondary consideration.
In many respects his hand is of the
Gladstone type, but differs in that Bryan
can engage in but one thing at a time.

Most OF the big colleges have had
their football players out for exercise
this spring. and, although this is not
exactly an innovations this Is the first
year In which the spring practice has
really amounted 10 anything more than
kicking the ball around In a desultory
sort Of fashion.
This change Of plan Is the result Of
series Of experiments by different col
leges during the past few seasons. Some
years ago II was the general rule at
nearly all the universities for candl-
dates for the football team to assemble
at the college or some other designated
spot at least two weeks before the be-
ginning Of the term and practice assid-
uously, so as TO be In good trim by the
time the season opened,
During the last year or two, however,
almost every team had given up this
preliminary practice, because It was
found that the work was apt 10 cause
the men TO become stale before the time
Tor the big games, and. besides, so many
men We're hurt in the practice that
teams were often seriously crippled.
But another difficulty arose in conse-
quence OF having no early practicIng.
The new and green players hadn't
enough time during the circumscribed
season to properly learn the game and
the points necessary for first class play.
SO at the end OF the season last fan
Il was decided at one or two Of the lar
ger universities to have elaborate
spring practice, so that any green mate
rial Of good caliber might be instructed
IN the rudments Of the game and the
veterans might at the same time be
kept in good trim
BY this means II II hoped that next
fall the coaches will not have to break
IN a LOT OF untried players, but will
know practically what stun they have
on hand. LEO ETHERTNGTON.
