A PERFECT HAND.
How It's Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known 10 the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking, held UP piece or candy.
The pose of the hand with its per-
feet contour and fautless shape at.
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed 10 photograph IL. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inqriring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements. Mr.. Post
said to his wife, We receive so
many inquiries of this kind, that 1t is
evident some people are curious
TO know, suppose we let the advertis-
Using department have that picture
of your hand TO print and name IL "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as.
sisted him in preparation Of some OF
the most famous adyertiscments).
There was natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented In the light
Of extending a welcoming hand TO the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts,
so the picture appeared on the back
covers Of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions Of people.
Many artists have commented upon
II as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising dept. OF the Post.
nm Co. did not seem able TO resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity Of
the public. by refrainng from giving
the name OF the owner when the pic.
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later In one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers 10 look
for and read the forthcoming adver.
tisements TO learn the name OF the
owner.
This combination Of art and com.
merce and the multitude OF inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration OF
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements In
newspapers and periodicals.

A remarkable tale OF gigantic timber
frauds, forged deeds, mutilated county
records, and an international tinancier
posing as n dead man Is that told by
James Donovan, of Chicago In his suit
accusing United States Senator Thos.
Plat and his nephew. J. Platt Under
wood. of wrongfully taking for their
own use timber TO the value OF more
than S3.00O,O00.
The lands are In Wisconsin and are
declared 10 be the property OF Dono-
van, and the estate of his former par
ner, La Flora S. Baker. formerly OF
Big Rapids. Mich.
The complications in the case are
deepened by the intimation that Ba-
ker Is really alive, and maintaining
a residence in New York. wlilc Judge
Cutting Is endeavoring to settle up his
estate in Chicago.
The trial of the case will. II is said,
revive the scandal involving Senator
Plat and Mae G. Wood. tie former
employee of the postoflice department
at Washington who brought a sensa-
tional suit against him for breach of
promise a few years ago.
While the senator was trying TO
cvade the legal traps Miss Wood was
setting for him she il declared to have
been living at her former home near
Coloma, Mich, in close touch with Col.
Donovan, comparing notes with him
and supplying him with Information
cleaned by her through long associa-
ton with the senator.
In varying characters and under
numerous names Baker is depicted as
character on the New York stock eX.

Chinese Eyes Are STRAIGHT.

Chinese eyes are straight in the
skull, according to T.. Lcmalre in La
Nature. They appear oblique, but
they are not really SO. Won Sicbold
Abeldsdorff and SchloecL the great
authorities, all agree that the eyes 81
the Chinese are straight The reason
the eye appears oblique is that The
upper eyelid and the general direc.
tions of the eyebrow are oblique; the
upper eyelid at the side Of the nose
irons a special fold which covers er.
tirely the angle where the lachrymal
gland is found In addition The lids
are generally very thin and the eye
