PALMlSTRY'S PROBE.
Reader UnwittinEly Causes Pain to
Accidental Murderer.

Accidental Murderer.
''Lots of people sheer at palmistry, but
that is because they know nothing about
it, said society woman who has made
a study of the science in an amateur
way: Il don't profess to be an expert,
but had an experience recently that has
led me to be very careful in telling what
| read in the hand. I was at a friends
house, and I was asked to amuse the
guests with my hobby. oh, what is the
use:' said. I know you all so we'll that
it wouldn't be any fun But there was
young mai present whom had never
seen before, and he was prevailed upon
to become my subject. AS soon as I
had studied the lines in his palm for 81
few moments l was struck with certain
characteristics, and said thoughtlessly
and half jokingly: This looks as though
YOU might have committed a murder
The young man turned deathly pale and
snatched his hand away. I realized that
| had done something I shouldn't have
done. and the conversation drifted into
other channels. Soon after the young
man made his excuses and left. It was
not until then that I learned the truth.
He had really killed his brother by the
accidental discharge of gun, and for
long time it was thought that he would
lose his mind. That experience has al
most cured ME of parlor experiments"

HAIR WORN DE-cOL.I-TAY.

As the years keep piling on u.s. yet We
claim that we are young
And 1.-The the term "old man" Indignantly re-
We are active in our motions and are frisky
with the tongue,
And lot Of time before the glass is
We may think the tricks of toilet make us
look like youngish men,
But the cat Jumps from the burap and thc
truths apparent when
We begin to wear our hair de-c0l-i-tay!
We may win admiring glances and per-
chance q friendly smile
From the fair ones whose attention we
would court;
They may fail to note our ages as they
contemplate our style,
And may think us young enough for firt-
Ing sport,
But they have no sweet enticements in
their store for aged men
When the signs of age they cannot hide
away,
And they turn us down instanter with their
arctic glances when
We begin to wear our hair de-col-i-tay!
There is not the least attraction in a nude
and CHASTITY head.
Though tits polished till it shines with
Not smile is wasted on it, save the ones
so freely shed
Ger the toothgnts by the comic op'ra
IT'S an exhibition fruitful for the punster's
pointed pen
That eXudes its sap of fun day after
day
@. they have no heart Of mercy for the
aging fellow when
He begins to wear his hair decOli-tay!
We may hide the pale exposure underneath
flowing wig.
But the hairy fake will never. never win.
For the charming ones soon tumble to the
artificial rig
And salute it with a cold. disdainful grin.
All the arts Of gross deception cannot give
youth again.
To fate can but bow in graceful
way.
For there's surely no escape from being
ranked as has beens'' when
We begin to wear our hair de-co-i-tay.

CIGARETTES WHIP BROKE.
An Incident in 'Under Two Flags
Not on the Bills.

An Incident in "Under Two FlaGs''
Not on the Bills.
Blanche Bates had an amusing expert
ence last week at the Garden theater,
New York, where she is appearing in the
leading role Of ''Under Two Flags In
the first act, as Cigarette, she entered
with whip in her hand. While simulat-,
ing fit of rage, in which she laid about
her right and left with it, the lash of the
whip broke and few across the footlights,
striking a woman in the front row of the
orchestra directly across the face. .Invol-
unfairly, Miss Bates exclaimed: "Ah, l
beg your pardon. am SO sorry. I hope
I did not hurt YOU Instantly, in d very
high key, there came this reply from the
orchestra: 'Oh, not at all, Miss Bates,
The pleasure is mine With your per-
mission, I'll keep the lash as a souvenir
The effect Of this remark was electrical.
Only few of the spectators had seen
the accident and, from the clever way in
which Miss Bates handled her voice;
scarcely any one but the woman adj
dressed had heard the remark; but the
victim Of the lash of the whip wasn't so
fine an elocutionist. Her words rang
out so loud and clear that Miss Bates
and the other actors had to turn their
backs to hide their laughter. e."

SILVER IN HER VOICE.
Maude Adams Possession Worth More
Than Her Gold Statue.


An interesting feature of the dramatic
season that is just ending has been the
rival presentations of ''L'Aiglon" by
the delightful American actress, Miss
Maude Adams, slight, dainty, iow-voiced;
and the other by the great French ac-
tress, Nine. Bernhardt, a woman full Of
fire and virility, and with miracle of
a voice that can range through every
phase of feeling and passion, says the
Saturday Evening Post.
Miss Adams, who has won her great
est fame in another wholesome play,
''The Little Minister" has been on the
stage since childhood and is still in the
twenties. She was born in Utah, and
her real name is more ''stagy" and ''ro-
mantle than the name that she has as
sumed for the stage-for she is really
Miss Maude Kiskadden. Miss Adams is
of quiet, home-loving tastes, dislikes to
meet curiosity seeking strangers, is an
enthusiastic golf player and horsewom-
an, and has an intense love for flowers
She is hard and methodical worker, a
close student, and possesses winsome
and charming personality.
THAT gold statue of her that was ex-
hibited. at Paris was pretty fnc,' ex-
claimed an enthusiastic admirer, ''but

The Irl K. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Fri
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather, it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
his now famous almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far
the finest, most complete and beauti-
full yet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravings, goes
