On the last leg of one of those de-
lightful personally conducted little
touring trips led by that friend, guide
and pIutocratic philosopher of Park
Row, Colonel Mincer. as the boat was
approaching Bedloe's Island. Mrs
Polydore suggested that it would be
interesting to have reading of the
hands of the Statue Of Liberty.
The entire party approving, Profess
sor Polydore cheerfully fell In with
the idea, and at once began studying
with a pair of field glasses the hands
OF the beautiful bronze lady.
'"rhe palms" he announced, ARE
out of the question. They arc not
visible; that of the right hand be-
ing concealed by the torch which the
goddess holds aloft, and that of the
left by the book upon which the hand
rests The thumbs and fingera. how
ever, show plainly; and--would you
believe 1.-THE sculptor must have
been . palmist or else inspired; for
what ] see of the hands indicates
with anna ing accuracy the very traits
which distinguish our country from
all other countries

"This is becoming interesting,
broke in Mrs Byrde, whose husband
was one of the chief lieutenanta of
the BOSS of a political party. 81
never really did believe in palmistry,
but | am ready to be o convert, pro-
lessor. In fact in view of what you
have said, am beginning to think
now that 1t Is almost n patriotic duty
10 believe in palmistry.
"Do you see any graft indicated
in the statues hands?" asked Mrs.
Partridge, the spouse of a reform
leader.
The unvenomed shaft concealed in
this query did not escape the notice
of those who knew of the feud which
had been waging for years between
the husbands of Mrs. Partridge and
Mrs. Bryde.
"Well, was not going to dilate
upon that feature until after some
of the more estimable traits of the
goddess had been dwelt upon" said
Polydore but now, since Mrs. Part
ridge has asked the question SO point
eddy, | must admit there really is an
indication that the bronze idol has
clay feet--or rather. as | should say,
that her hands show signs of graft.
The Indications Of Graft.

and many of the other passengers
who had crowded around by this
time, had become deeply absorbed in

WOODEN LEG FOR PET CALF.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. Gil. j. Pear
son, a dairyman of the Spokane country
recently had Il leg of one of his calves
broken by an o. w. r. & y. train. Mr..
Pearson started to kill the calf, but his
three boys pleaded 50 eloquently for the
animals life that Mr.. Pearson spared it,
With the aid of the boys. Mr.. Pearson
put Splints on the leg of the calf and
placed the little animal in the barn. A
ficial limb is fastened above the break
and extends to the ground, preventing
the foot from touching the earth. The
calf has become expert at hopping
around
