full and soft upon the mango trees
F1arned forth bright beams of glory from the west
And through the boughs there sighed gentle breeze,
Bearing thousand perfumes its breast.
For ii had kissed the asmine's scented spray,
Had stolen sweetness from the ly's bell,
And I had the ylang-ylang softly sway
Before its breath as it swept up the dell.
The feathery bamboos waving in the air,
Hibiscus branches CARRIED in red and green
The bright rose-apple with its foliage fair
All smiled in beauty the world serene
And from the groves flowed forth in thrilling strains
The birds sweet songs of rapture and delight
The love lore of the forests and the plains
Those wild bards sang, fell the darkning night.

Wife Declared Insane for Spending
5000 for Wardrobe Gets Divorce.
Des Moines, Dec. 80.-Mrs. Lydia
Chamberlain, wife Of the millionaire
medicine manufacturer, was granted a
divorce by Judge Hugh Brennan on
the ground O., cruelty. AS alimony she
was given title to new magnificent
hotel, worth $25o,00o, fifth 100000
mortgage, against 1t.
The cruelty alleged by Mrs. Cham
berlain was her husbands efforts to
get her declared insane and placed in
an insane asylum. She stated on the
witness stand that she had never spent
more than $500 a year for clothes until
she went to New York, where she saw
many handsome dresses and invested

Then, she says, her husband declared

of the Chemical National bank there
to refuse her further credit.
Mrs. Chamberlain came to Des

from one of the rural Iowa towns.
She opened q small studio and attrac-
ted much attention because of her
beauty, which won the heart of the
millionaire.
She went to New York recently to
further her studies and it was there
the modistes tempted her. Mr.. Cham

SHILOH MONUMENT DISPUTE.
Secretary Taft Will Have the Final
Word


Washington, Dec. 80. - Assistant
Secretary of War Oliver is giving very
serious attention to the question of In
seriptions to be placed upon the Shiloh
monuments of the Fifteenth and Six
teenth Iowa regiments, over which
there has been controversy, and In ref
erence to which Governor Cummins has
made two special trips to Washington,
laying the matter extensively before
Mr.. oliver and Secretary Root. The
adverse recommendation Of Mai. Reed,
secretary of the commission, is be-
fore Mr.. Oliver, as also is Governor
Cummins' presentation and his latest
vigorous letter. 1t Is now reduced to
a question whether the recommends
ton of Maj. Reed or of Governor Cum
Minis shall prevail. 1t is expected the
decision will be rendered next week. 1t
will be practically final, altho Cover
nor Cummins may appeal to Secretary
Taft. In view of the fact that Mr..
oliver will consult with Secretary Taft
before deciding the case, laying the
facts before him with the governors
letters and arguments, the decision will
really be Secretary Tafts decision, and
an appeal would not avail. There Is
an intimation that Governor Cummins,
If the Iowa veterans are turned down,
will carry the case directly to the pres
ident, but no intimation as to probable
action can be obtained.

A Submarine Alarm.

"Just now there is being tested In the
Potomac river most extraordinary
device for protecting ocean vessels by
an alarm carried by sound under the
water" said James Stone, of Cincinn-
att, at the Riggs House.
"a man from Boston has yacht
here, and each day the experiments are
carried on. The working Of the thing
is very simple. A box is placed In the
hull of the boat below the water line,
with a wire attachment to an indica-
tor UP in the pilot house. The vessel
starts. On a reef, say, three or four
miles away, there is placed bell, also
below the water line. In dense fog,
supposedly, as the vessel moves for
ward the bell is sounded and the IN
Dictator in the pilot house, thru the
workings of the attachment in the
bottom Of the boat, indicates the d.
rection from which the sound comes.
The device has worked very well SO far,
and can also be used on the side OF
vessels under the water line, instead OF
on the reef, SO that different vessels
may warn each other. An effort Is pc
ing made to have it taken up by the
government"

constitute my world.
The handshake of some people makes
you think Of accident and sudden
death. Contrast this ill-boding hand
with the quick skilful, quiet hand Of
nurse. whom remember with af-
lection because she took the best care
of my teacher. I have clasped the
hands of some rich people that spin
not. and toll not, and yet are not
beautiful Beneath their soft, smooth
roundness what chaos Of undeveloped
character
All this is my private science Of
palmistry, and when tell your fortune
1t is by no mysterious intuition, or
gypsy witchcraft, but by natural, ex-
plicable recognition of the embossed
character in your hand. Not only is
the hand as easy to recognize as the
face. but it reveals its secrets more
openly and unconsciously. People con-
troll their countenance, but the hand is
under no such restraint. 1t relaxes and
becomes listless when the spirit is low
and detected; the muscles tighten
when the mind is excited or the heart
glad; and permanent qualities stand
written on it all the time.
AS there are many beauties Of the
face. SO the beauties Of the hand are
many. Touch has it's ecstasies. The
hands of people Of strong individual
ity and sensitiveness are wonderfully
mobile. In a glance Of their fingertips
they express many shades Of thought.
Now and again I touch a fine, grace
full supple wristed hand which spells
with the same beauty and distinction
that you must see in the handwriting
Of some highly cultivated people. I
wish you could see how prettily little
children spell in my hand. They are
wild flowers of humanity and their fin
ger motions wild flowers Of speech.

HAMPTON STANDS A GOOD SHOW

oPCSlttl W
Iowa Falls, Dec. 30.-Hoping to in
duce the Des Moines, Iowa Falls &
extension via Charles City, a commit
tee from that city will call on the off1c-
ials of the road here the coming week
and see what can be done in the way
of securing another railroad for
Charles City. The officials of the
Short Line are reticent regarding the
route, and refuse to commit them
selves. Three routes are available.
Whether this will be via Hampton to
Mason City or direct to the latter place
is an open question, altho some are in
clined to the opinion that the road will
build to Hampton and then arrange
trackage rights with the Iowa Central
to Mason City where connection will
be made with the Milwaukee, North
western and Chicago Great Western.
On the other hand the splendid new
territory offered by building to Charles
City is held out as an inducement for
constructing the line to that place. It
will offer functions with the Iowa Cen
trail, Rock Island, Northwestern and
Illinois Central. Just what inducement
Hampton, Charles City and Mason
City may offer the Short Line Com
pany Is not known. Construction Of
the line is slated for early spring. The
construction of the line to Charles City
would probably give Geneva another
road but leave Hampton to one side,
while with Mason City as an objective
point, Hampton stands a good show of
getting another line and it is probable
that Mason City and Hampton will
pull together.
