EXPERIENCES OF AN
AMATEUR PALMIST

The note read: IL have promised to read
palms for a festival at church parlors
tomorrow night, and I've taken a bad cold
and cannot go. Here is my palmistry
book. Won't you please read it up little
and take my place? / am sure you are a
born palmist.'' Reluctantly the girl laid
aside her novel and devoted herself to the
study of the palmistry book. The next
night showed that her friend had made no
mistake in her choice of a substitute. Like
Caesar, she came, saw and overcame. 1t
was not her own church.; most of the people
ters with an intuition that amazed them,
revealed their past and its secrets with
startling accuracy, and foretold the future
by their lines according to the rules laid
down. She had not supposed any one would
take the prophetic part OF the business ser
iously, but the character reading and the
revelations of the past had been too con-
vincingly correct; the victims one and all
accepted the predictions as equally trust
worthy.
Being inexperienced, she had told what
she saw in the hands with an unreserve
she learned better than ever to use again.
Whep she found out that people did not
take it as joke, that the man whom she
had told he would die at forty was making
all his arrangements with an early demise
in view that the business man she had told
he would soon engage in a new business
in which he would be very successful had
thereupon decided to undertake some new
project, that she had ignorantly made and
unmade matches by her predictions, she
began to feel scared. When the beautiful
woman to whom she said, ''You have two
lovers, one acknowledged, the other secret,
and you love best the one of whom the
world does not know and the beautiful
woman (who was married) gasped, turned
pale and rushed from the fortune telling
tent, she perceived that it's IAN awkward
business to play with SOULS" as Browning
remarks.
Gladly would she have withdrawn from
the whole thing except as occasionally
practiced in private for the amusement of
her friends. but the fame of that night s
performance had gone abroad, and every
fair and festival held for sweet charity's
sake insisted on her services. and, exercis-
ing her gift with all the care she could.
she yet feared she sometimes did mischief
She soon came to the conclusion that the

whistIing Away Dyspepsia.

Medical Talk-
When the throes of indigestion and the
qualms of dyspepsia are making your life
miserable just purse the lips and whistle
a brisk, merry tune.
Not a mufied, doleful, half-hearted
whistle. but whistle to deep and volumi-
nous that the whole house will be filled
with the sound
Don't be afraid somebody will hear you
Let them hear you. 1t will do them good
1t will enliven and cheer them while it
cures you-
Indigestion and dyspepsia always make
one feel gloomy and depressed and NOR
bid and blue. Everything seems TO go
wrong, and doubtless you won't feel one
bit like whistling. But no matter, whis-
tie anyhow
If possible go out in the fresh air and
do your whistling. If you can't go out
doors just open the window wide and whis-
tie with all your might Any old tune will
do. so you put life and vigor into 1t.
Whistle, whistle, whistle Keep it going
Don't get tired. Go on with all your might.
Harder. harder.
The first thing you know the stomach
will have righted itself, the liver will be
working good and strong, the blood will
be bounding through your veins, your
brain will be clear and vigorous, and you
will feel twenty years younger.

draperies, mysterious mirrors, magic crys-

sweeping robes, spangled with gilt stars.
The visitor wrote questions little slate
and laid IL face down on a table standing
against a curtain. Presently the slate was
withdrawn behind the curtain and by and
by was returned to the table with answers
TO the question written on the other side
of it-a proceeding which did not strike the
inquirer as savoring strongly of the super
natural or even of the mysterious.
Then she tried a gypsy woman a hand
some, strapping, inSolent creature, who told
her 'he" was coming tonight would take
her driving Sunday, and she'd be married

This woman professed TO read the palm,
but paid little attention to il.
Still persevering in her search for al least
one professional palmist who knew some
thing of palmstry she consulted various

This is the end Of all our vision spinning.
Our bitter virtues and our happy SHINING:
The thread is broken off, and none mend !:
We cannot stay-'ts useless TO pretend;
We lose because there's nothing left worth win
ming!
And in the dark the ghost Of Love sits grinning.
With chattering teeth. and in mine keeps
dinning
This word, ''No more. I am corpse. my
friend
This is the end.'
Youth shrouds her face. the dim veil closely
pinning
To hide the temples where her locks are thin

And you and our separate ways must wend-
Further apart our faltering steps must bend
Toward-Life? Nay, there we dwelt in the be-
ginning
This is the End,
