Governor Hughes of New York, who
has been included among the list of
possible Republican candidates for the
presidency next year, by reason of the
good record he has made In desirable
directions in his own state, has just
vetoed two cent fare railroad bill. He
calls attention to the fact that they now
have commission in that state which
has power to regulate railroad rates,
and he further declares that in his
opinion the exact determination of rail
road rates is not proper subject of
legislation. Whether it is or not from
a judicial point of view will be known
when the courts have thought it over
and have had their say. 1t any event
Michigan had no commission with
authority in railroad rate directions.

At the suggestion of governor Warner
seconded by the creditors, it is proba
that the question of bonding the county
to meet the court house Indebtedness
will be voted upon Aug. 18th at the
same time primaries are held to nomi-
nate candidates for members of the
constitutional convention. Before sign
ing the bill the Governor requested
those interested to use their influence
to have the date mentioned named, as
a large saving in expense could thus be
made. This plan meets the approval
of the creditors-who are evidently not
afraid of the 13th-and they will join
in letter to the supervisors asking to
have that date set. The rush of farm
work will be over by that time giving
all the farmers a chance to vote with
out interfering with their plans,

CHARACTER IN HANDcLASPS.
A Few Notes Taken by the observant
Person.

- EC" lNSASS 0NS' ~ Wv
Person.
Those people who clasp their hands
with two fingers between the thumb
and finger instead of the usual one
are probably very deceitful. To lay
the left hand fat in the lap and clasp
the right firmly over is a sign OF OBJ
stinacy. Business capacity is shown
II the left fingers are curved inward.
To clasp the hands together very
tightly, running the fingers down as
far as they will go, shows, 1t is said,
that the character is sincere, but IL
the left thumb be uppermost and the
right little finger concealed in the
left palm, a s~ecretive nature, though
not one necessarily untruthful, is de-
noted.
Thoughtfulness and consideration
for the feelings of others are shown
desk or table the thumb and first fin
gers are clasped tightly. A keen in
tellect and great self-confidence are
possessed by the man who interlaces
his fingers and then places his hands,
palm downward, fatty on his knees.
To clasp the hands in the ordinary
way, with the right thumb uppermost,
shows that one is born to rule. If the
left thumb m uppermost, the own
er is born to be ruled, says Woman's
Life. When the hands are allowed to
lie loosely or the knee, with each set
of fingers joined and barely touching
each other, it shows weakness Of
character and indecision.

LOOK UP HIS REFERENCES.
Character of Tenants Make Reputa-
tions of Buildings.

tlons of Buildings.
1t pays to look up a mans refer
ences before finally renting him an Of
fee and accepting him as a tenant, for
a number of eason First, because
1t is not worth while to go to the ex-
pense of fitting up an office only TO
have your tenant skip out or go out
of business after paying a few months
rent; and, secondly, SO that you may
familiarize yourself with the nature Of
his business and avoid fakes"
When a building gets a reputation OF
having harbored a number Of shady"
concerns 1t becomes less desirable
among the better class OF tenants.
In this connection an interesting col
luquoy took place between a Western
er and the agent of one of New Yorks
tallest structures on Broadway. The
Westerner had come to think that all
he needed in renting an office was his
check book and was taken aback when
he was asked some pertinent questions
as to his business, his previous land
lord and his past connections.
He was able TO pass muster all right,
but remarked afterward that he would
ship his family tree on TO New York
next time before attempting to rent
an Office there.
This condition is not so generally
true in New York or anywhere else as
II might be, but certain Ii is that much
loss could be avoided and a cleaner
tenancy maintained by the exercise Of
more %precaution at the beginning. In
cidentally, It might be mentioned that
the best and surest way of getting re-
liable information about any man is
to ask his former MISUNDERSTANDING
Magazine.

Dear Sir: Your communication re-
ceived today. Your S atement of the
matter was parallel with the thoughts
already existing in my mind. The
Dallas News is highly partisan and
refuses to give you the honor be-
cause of the political hatred it has
for you. 1t is my honest opinion that
there is more political prejudice and
ignorance in Texas than in any state
III the Union.
[ have been a constant reader cf
both your monthly and weekly publ
cations. My father subscribed for
your New York magazine with the
flst issue. When your identifca-
ton with it ceased, he went with you
to Atlanta and we have been getting
the Watson s Jeffersoniln Magazine
ever since.
But he has passed from this life
to the life immortal. He was an al
lance man, a greenbacker and a pop
ulist from the beginning. He was

jority Of our people are either Dem
ocrals or Republicans, and the name
stands for all that is good or evil
in their line Of. what constitutes
American patriotism-they have
greatly confused partyism with pa
triotism-in fact they think to be
a. patriot, they must vote 'er straight,
hew to the line, and let the chips fall
where they may-that is surely their
creed. No matter what somersaults
their bosses take just that they con
troll the machinery of the party
the name-no matter who they place
at the head or in the lead; just that
the leader brands himself with the
name, that s the patriot whose name
they shout. There wouldn't be
one iota of difference to the great
majority Of our voting public if the
leaders would just jump from one
platform to another-they would
follow the name. Greater Ignorance
was never displayed by a free peo-
pie than do these party serfs display
in their fealty to their name Prin-
