HOW TO TELL FORTUNES
One Formula Can Be Made to Fit Almost
Everybody

The way to tell peoples fortunes is to have
without the slightest variation. 1t is bound
to succeed. For instance. supposng Falstan and
Hamlet had their fortunes told by the same
soothsayer / imagine he would have told Ham
let's character as follows Maurice Barring writes
in the Metropolitan:
you are not so fortunate as you seem. YOU
have a great deal OF sense. but than
knowledge. You give admirable advice to
other people. Your judgment is excellent as re-
CARDS Others but bad as regards yourself. You
never value your good advice. You are
fond of your friends. You prefer talk to action
You suffer from indecision You are fond OF the
stage You are susceptible to female beauty
You are witty, amiable and well educated but
you like coarse Jokes. You are superstitious and
believe in ghosts. You make people laugh
You often pretend to be foolish than you
are. At other times you will surprise people by
your power of apt repartee Your hane VIII be
your inclination to fat which will hamper you In
fighting You are unsuccessful as a soldier but
unrivaled companion and philosopher. You
viii mix in high society, have friends at court
You Will come off badly In personal encounter
and your final enemy will be king"
Now Imagine him saying exactly the same
thing to Talstaf. Doesn't 1t fit him JUST well ?
Can't yon imagine Falstaff saying: sHe has hit
me OF to IT,, and Hamlet murmuring MY
prophetic soul! In fact believe fortune tell

fesson In the world and the easiest.

crease to 81, 399, 217, 1913 from s2,O92 $780,
746 in the year previous.
During 1912 crude materials with an

PAGE Bill Passes Senate

Senator Pages vocational educational
bill, authorizing maximum appropria-
tions of over $14, 900, 900 tor agricultural
trade educational work, was adopted by
the Senate Wednesday as substitute for
the Lever-Smith bill, which passed the
house.
A fight extending over many days ended
when a motion made by Senator Page,
of Veamont, TO substitute his original for
the Lever bill was carried by vote of 3 l
to 80. The measure then passed the Sen
ate and will 90 to the house and ultimate
ly into conference committee.
The Page bill would establish courses
of instruction in trades and industries,
home econimics and agriculture in the
various public schools of secondary grade
provide for state agricultural schools,
testing and plant breeding stations; edu,
cation of teaching and general extention
work.
1t is believed as a result of the action of
the senate the agricultural education
measure may remain in controversy be-
tween the two houses when the present
session ends.
