HANDS REVEAL THE THOUGHTS.
Can Not Be Made to Conceal Truth, It
Is Asserted.

A writer in an English weekly de-
clares that if we want to know what
the other person is thinking we must
look at his or her hands. Even I'M
practiced lips can lie, as every one
knows. Long practice in self-control
will enable one to keep ones voice
sweetly cordial when there is nothing
but indifference or cold dislike be-
hind it, The eyes can be made to
shoot glances which are not at all a
register for the emotions. But the
hands, it is asserted, are utterly be-
yond the control of those to whom
they belong. Even people who hardly
gesticulate at all-and to keep the
hands still is considered by the Anglo
Saxon most essential part of good
breeding-even these people are, it
seems, constantly revealing them
selves in little movements of the
hands. The Immortal Mulvaney has
put it on record that womans truth
or untruth can be discerned by the
action of her hands. OF course, it
takes practiced reader to interpret
what the hands are saying. 1t is not a
case of "he who runs may read"

WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the erms
that wouldn't otherwise have found
Judgment. 1t is the same with all in
fictitious diseas. Diphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to be contracted when
the child has cold. You will see
from this that more real danger turks
in cold than in any other Of the com
mon ailments. The easiest and quick
est way to cure cold is to take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The
many remarkable cures effected by
this preparation have made it staple
article Of trade over large part Of the
world. For sale by All Drugnist.

FOUND TREASURE IN CELLAR.
shoemakers May Have Discovered
Hoard Hidden by Monks.

A curious story is going the rounds
at Limoges, France, and has come to
light through an anonymous letter an.
nounoing certain alleged facts to the
police authorities. 1t is asserted that
in 1901 two shoemakers named Valette
and Tricard, while effecting some re-
pairs to the cellar of the house they
occupied, discovered treasure con-
sisting Of sum Of money and numer-
GUS valuable books.
The particular part Of Limoges
where the residence of the shoemakers
was situated stands on the site of an
ancient monastery, and it is thought
that the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is in the reported discov
cry is not yet known, but it is as
serted that the two shoemakers, who
were previously konwn to be in
straitened circumstances, have Of re-
cent years lived on quite different
footing and have been able to pur-
chase numerous house properties in
the district.
Their landlord is now taking pro.
ceedings with view Of testing the
accuracy of the local gossip and of
claiming the treasure or at least
part of 1t.

St. Louis Judge in Court of Ap-

law Of congress cases were those of

the impression that it represented

bottom and preparations are already
under way. Business during the early
session was less han a fifh of that
transacted in the same period Satur-

had frequent periods of utter inertia.
By noon the market had improved
with quotations still below Saturdays

RALLY DAY IS
BEING PLANNED
To Be One of Best Programs of
Year-Some of the
Plans.

Real interest is being aroused by
Mr.. Lakin in the Rally Day, which is
being planned for the Methodist Sun
day school for Sunday, September Is.
Committees have been appointed TO
carry out the various parts of the pro
gram, which undoubtedly will be one
of the best given in the school for
some time past. Several short spicy
talks will be made by leaders in Sun
day school work. Miss Adkins OF
Brady, Texas, who has come 10 Bisbee
TO give instruction in expression and
sssAtory, and who has been engaged in
Sine of the leading educational insti-
buttons in the country, will appear on
the program; and the musical num-
bers will be provided by Mrs. Allen,
Mrs Ruth. Mrs. Clifford and others, as
well as choruses by the Sunday school
choir and the Sunday school as a
whole.
The idea of Rally Day, is to, as its
name implies, rally all the forces to-
gether to increase the enrolment.
A Home Department and Cradle
Roll will soon be started, the former
enabling those who can not attend the
Sunday school TO be supplied with the
2tteraGuraskeepin tslem in touch with
the work and the latter TO get the lit
tie ones enrolled in the Sunday school
a their birth, thus tying them up
definitely with the Sunday school be
fore they are able to attend tht pTi-
&nry classts.
