POLYDORH QUESTION BOX.

Question: read among the Eve
ming STARS 'Rostrum" the other day
for Ave years. He says that he has
not been successful in life and that he
Knows the fault is his own but that
Is; Now, IL palmistry is the science
which you claim 1t Is, couldn't YOU,
by reading that mans hands. tell the
1auIt TO which he owes his failure?
Answer-Most assuredly. II the man
in question will send me imprints OF
his hands I will tell him the good and
the evil qualities indicated in them
And, what ia more, l may even be able
to suggest the remedy.
l was once visiting New York and a
young man who was a stranger to me
called and asked me to read his hands.
A glance at his hands showed mo
that although he possessed an album
dance of good qualities which should
ordinarily have insured success in life
he was woefully deficient in the up
per mou of Mars.
This mount is situated on the side
of the hand between the little finger
and the wrist, just about midway, and
its presence denotes a spirit of calm
resignation n buoyancy-a quiet
sort of determination not to allow for
tunes quips n buffets to down one.
The absence Of this mount shows a
total lack Of this "bob-up-serenely''
sort of spirit.
My young visitor also had a ring run
ming around the base of his middle fin
ger, indicating that he lacked stick-to-
itiveness.
How to emancipate himself from this
dual slavery was the information I
next essayed I urged him to make up
his mind to do some n thing-no
matter h 1t was-and stick to It
just for practise in the art of per-
severance.
IF it appears too much to make
up your iii to stick to the task for
a year, or a month, or ever an entire
week, then resolve to stick to 1t at
least for an hour" I said to him.
And so, from hour to hour, you will
be making up you mind, and will thus
~insensibly acquire strength of will by
constant practise, so hat In a short
time you will find 1t easy to stick to
your resolution for a day, and then
for a week, and so on until 1t soon will
cost you no effort at all to wiring sue
cess from what until now has seemed
to be hopeless failure"
The young man has recently written
me tina he is doing well.

Favors Big Navy.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Almost every newspaper recently has
contained some Japanese war scare
in connection with the war game
now in progress on the boarders of
Mexico. This is a very good thing
for America. Everybody who keeps
apace with the doings of the day has
heard from time to time during the
past few years of a conflict between
America and Japan which, they say,
is bound to take place t determine
THE supremacy of the Pacific"
Where there is smoke there is fire.
And, furthermore, the naval experts OF
our own aud foreign countries have
pointed out the inadequate fortified.
lions and the lack of battleships In
that part of America so convenient to
Japan.

teresting and instructive to listen to
and see the dark side of life depicted.
They find these things interesting only
because they know that nothing but
publicity will do away with the evils.
The drama cannot be educational un-
less it is truthful, 1t cannot be truth
full by Withholding from the stage the
things that occupy the minds of the
people. The stage is a reflection Of the
times" and the times just now de-
mand that a number of plays deal with
the social evil, not in an indecent man
ner, but in an educational one.

Ignores Hobson,. Views.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star;
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad" That erstwhile per-
sonification of militant exuberance has
again displayed to Congress his en-
~barrassing capabilities.
1t goes without saying that Japan
has abused her advantage gained as a
first-class power, especially with Man
churian affairs, and that the high
handed conduct of her relations with
China will ultimately rebound to hei
disadvantage is to be expected. But
to court war with the United States
In the immediate future is on the very
face ridiculous. Japan has everything
to lose and little to gain by an armed
conflict with the United States, and
such a conflict would become world
wide in extent.
Russia would Immediately step forth
TO wrest from Japan all the territory in
Asia she has lost.
In the end the island empire would
be relegated to the confines of it's own
shores. The Indian had his war dance,
and every time naval estimates come
up for consideration a pathway must
be blazed by the grotesque absurdities
Of Hobson, But deep beneath the sur
face of current vents in Washington
Americas traditional policy may be
violated and a foreign conflict as a last
resort invited, with which to quench
the advance of progress.
II America is not provoking and in
wiling war, then all naval and military
estimates should be considered in. ex-
ecutive session. A READER.

1Ta HE Cleveland memorial fund nears completion. 1t was started
Ii as a popular fund and the Monument Association has strictly
kept to that object. Small contributions were preferred and
large ones were not invited, otherwise the fund could have beer
filled long ago Former Senator Dryden, who organized the work
of collection of the fund. has been the executive head ever since,
and mostly TO his well directed efforts the assured success of the
fund is due. There remains only about $500 to complete the amount
of 100000 necessary for the erection of the superb tower at Prince
ton that is to commemorate the name and fame of Grover Cleve-
land, and it would be exceedingly gratifying if this balance were
made up of subscriptions of wageearners sent to UZal II. McCarter,
president of the Fidelity Trust Company and treasurer of the
auxiliary committee of the Monument Association. The conscious
ness of being represented in the splendid memorial to Cleveland
when it is erected will ever be a pleasurable one to him who has
contributed his mite.

The IMPENDING CONFLICTS AT TRENTON.

STra HE Senate majority at Trenton has been watching with amused
interest the struggles of the Assembly Democratic majority
with the new and novel ideas that have been evolved out OF
the executive closet at the state house and bear the unmistakabe
stamp of George L. Record. The Senate is waiting and watching.
The majority senators have bills of their own covering all the sub
jects now in contention among the Democratic assembymen, and
the time is approaching when the policies of Senate and House WI
come into collision. 1t will then be a question as to which hous
will give way. There is a third house, the executive branch, to be
considered in this contention, but how it will be brought to bear
to overcome the objection of the Senate to a surrender to the House
of all partisan credit or discredit for radical legislation enact d
does not yet appear. The legislative session has been uneventful
thus far because practically nothing has been done. No contro-
yersial measure has YET been reported in the House. The calm will
soon be broken.

suspecting that America and Japan
will ultimately clash over the Pacific
or the East Indies or something else,
it might do some good and cannot do
any harm to have a navy large enough
to patrol the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. When we finish up the Panama
canal 1t will take less time to get
around from coast to coast and we
can easily watch both sides. But we
can also be badly damaged on the Pa,
cific side before the canal will be fin
ished, if a val should start now Sew
eral husky "dreadnoughts' on the Pa,
cifc coast will be a pretty good peace
inducement. FORESIGHT.

TAFT AND DlAz EN- RAPPORT.

IT T is quite evident that there IS an understanding between the
American and Mexican governments in regard to the use Of
troops and ships to patrol. the frontiers of Mexico on land ana
sea. The greatest difficulty met by the Mexican troops was the
facility with which armed parties can cross and recross the Texas
border, the supply of arms and other supplies from Texas and the
recruiting of the insurreeto forces with American Adventures. Could
cur government do a better service for Mexico than that of estaH-
fishing an efficient patrol of the border to stop these practises?
The coasts of Mexico afford opportunities for landing parties and
supplies, and the coasts, too, must be guarded. While the Mexican
ambassador is talking through his hat in New York President Diaz
il preparing to take advantage of the American Gordon as soon as
it. in drawn tight to crush out the insurrection.

A ~good-looking young woman came
to be treated at one of The local hos

vaux is visiting physician. After ex-
aiming her he gave her two prescrip
lions.
Can you tell me how much these
will cost, doctor?" she asked.
No. I have no idea"
Looking at the doctor with her soul
ful young eyes and smiling shyly she
said. Gould you lend me a dollar,

The doctor came up with the bill like
a little man.

tons from her he handed one back.
