I I I be willing to give a helping hand to
"V any worthy, person in need of one.
1 3 He would, no doubt, give a "handout"
to a tramp or lend a hand to a fellow
Toyager on life's raea In distress.
But when the demon reporter from this great
moral and religious daily and fireside companion
went to 'Billy's'" headquarters to get a hand from
tlm, he was quite reluctant. And MM" was even
more reluctant than'Billy."
The demon reporter had only one man on his
tide.
Let us be a jot more specific and a little less
mysterious. What the d. r. wanted was merely a
print of "Billy's" palm. Only this and nothing
more.
The one person on the side of the demon re
porter was "Bob" Mathews, private secretary, plan-
t and newspaper man's friend.
"Bob" used to be a demon reporter himself on
the Chi. Trib., and he knows a good story when he
sees one.
"Great," said "Bob," "Great. Fine Idea."
So "Bob" was then and there appointed envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary and was
entrusted with an Important secret mission to the
court of Emperor William (Sunday).
' "Bob" didn't conceal any documents In a hol
low cane, or anything like that. He simply sailed
out of his room and down the hall till ha brought
up before the door of "Billy's" room.
"Billy" was in bed reading. "Ma" was In the
room too. "Bob" laid his message before the court.
"M" went right "up in the air." She didnt like
the idea. No, sir, not a bit
So "Bob" came back to where the demon re
porter was pursuing a pollejrjof watchful wailing.
and told him of the failure of his mission.'
The demon reporter did not attempt to conceal
Ms displeasure. He upbraided poor "Bob," taunted
Mm upon his failure as a diplomatist and declared
that be considered the decision of the Sundays as
a deliberately unfriendly act.
A secret conclave was held and a new note to
the powers was prepared, demanding a disavowal
of any intention to sink neutral newspaper projects
and a promise to desist from torpedoing good news
paper stories without giving full warning and res
cuing all readers.
Away went Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
'lenipotentiary Mathews again with a "do or die"
oppression in his eye. From the Sunday room came
the sound of high voices. Then silence, and back
tme "Bob."
He -as all excitement and elation.
"Come on in quick before he gets out of the
notion," he said.
The demon reporter seized the smudge paper
and hurried after "Bob."
"Billy" was up out of bed, bare-footed and in
his robe de nult, commonly known as nightshirt.
"Ma" was real mad. Oh, yes, no use trying to
deny that. But "Billy" is boss in his own house,
other opinions to the contrary notwithstanding.
"I hate to do it, and I hate to refuse," "Billy"
esid.
The smudge paper was on the table and "Billy"
planted his right band on it and bore down hard.
Then he took it off and here Is the print right on
this page.
The two arch-conspirators hurried out of the
room, and "Ma" shut the door and locked it. "Bob"
and the d. r. were so elated that they would have
called a waiter and ordered a. couple of glasses of
buttermilk. But there was no time for such amen
ities. So -the d. r., after wringing "Bob's" hand
row, hurried away to the office.
Later he took photographs of the hand print
to those prophets and seers and knowers of the un
knowable, the palmists, keeping to himself the
diplomatic secret that the hand print was that of
"Billy" Sunday.
"Madame, the Clairvoyant and Palmist" was
reading a paper-back volume entitled, "Was She to
Blame?" She laid it aside and took tbe print.
"Whose hand is it? Cannot you tell me that? Why
can't the person come here?" madame asked. Ma
dame is shrewd. She has to be, for shrewdness is
the price of success in her calling.
"Ah, this person has great troubles," groaned
madame. "Oh, such troubles! See, these lines
up and down, they indicate tbe troubles. I can
feel it more than I can read it in the palm. Trouble
and worry! Trouble and worry! I can feel it
here." Madame placed a band upon her bosom.
' Can't you hear that I am growing hoarse?"
It was, Indeed, true. . Madame was growing
hoarse. The demon reporter looked fearfully
round him, vaguely expecting to see the spirits,
overwhelmed by the marvels of clairvoyance that
cun make a lady grow hoarse Just by looking at
a print of a palm,
. "This man has been married twice and has
'three children," continued madame. "He will live
a long time. He will never eo to the penitentiary.
V See, this line here indicates that. He ha a itrone
temper and when he is angry he says things that
he don't mean."

IE'
Has Clasped a Millidn Hands
"Billy" Sunday's right hand lias clasped and fchaktm
the hands of more people than ha the right hand of auy
other preacher of the present day, and perhaps of all
time. Jt is probahle that "Billy" Sunday has shaken
hands with more people than any other living man, no
matter in what line of activity.'
It is estimated that this hand has shaken the hand
of more than 1,000KM) people in the twenty-seven years
of his work. Twenty of these years were spent in evan
gelistic work.
Fifteen out of the twenty years were spent in con
ducting revivals in smaller towns and cities, starting with
places of one, two or three thousand people and getting .
up into the 10,000 to 20,000 class. '
During the last five years "Billy" has become an"
evangelistic star of the first magnitude. Today he is the
pole star of the evangelistic firmament, with Boston,
New York and Chicago on ljis waiting list and with calls
from foreign countries and the islands of the sea.
In his Philadelphia campaign last winter he made his
first entry into a metropolitan city, and there "Billy"
Sunday's right hand shook the hands of more than 42,000
trail hitters, and the hands of thousands upon thousands
of oth'ers besides.
In Paterson, X. J., which followed Philadelphia, theru
were nearly. 15,(H'0 trail hitlers.
In Omaha "Billy" has already shaken the hands of
nearly 3,000 trail hittcra and of tit least 10,000 ethers.
Another Palm Reading
By a Professional Clairvoyant
A hard hand to reud, very hard. I can feel more than
I can 'set;. I feel it clairvoyant!'. I feel so tsad when I
see this hand. It tells-of many troubles in life, many!
The lines of this hand are fine and deep, which indi
cates success in life. On the other hand, just below the
mount of the sun are coarse lines showing failure.
The lino of life is long and unbroken, forked at tlu;
end, which indicates a long life. Lines of head ami heart
are-also firm and have forks which show the man has a
respectable position in life.
TIks many up-and-down lines on the Mount of Venus
at the end of the thumb show he is a lover of good works,
has a peaceful temperament and strong religious feeling.
Such strong lines! Tne owner of this hand never gels
angry. He is meek, quiet and retiring in disposition
and will not invite trouble. lie would rather yield than
quarrel or fight. Never have I seen such well marked
up-and-down lines on the Mount of Venus.
This man will marry twice and have three children.
These tine lines here between tli? Mount of Venus and
the lifo line show high temper. When this man gets
angry lie says things iie doesn't really mean.
The Mounts of Satnrn, Sun and Mercury are all well
marked, indicating fatality, science and wit. The Mounts
of Mars and the Moon are well marked, indicating cour
age or cruelty, folly or imagination.- .
What .the Hand, Lines Say
to the Palmist
By an Expert in Palm Reading '
Note: While this character reading
will show the general traits, tastes and
ambitions of the subject, the other hand
should be consulted for confirmation along
certain lines. I am sorry I did not get
prints cf both hands, for, while the left
gives the spiritual life and the past, the
right deals more with the future.
TxL'ii: luixea, wiui conic enaraetenstics predomi
nating.. Fingerp medium, well placed, first pha-
lunges short and lull; second, short and thin;
third, very" long and full. The stretch between
the fingers is marked. Subject is decidedly unconven
tional. . , ' ' ,
Palm medium, broad but very hollow, showing a
life of vicissitude and struggle, likely, to continue to the.
'end'. Length of thumb from tip to lower angle indicates"
constancy, as it unites force of will and logic to the affec
tions. -The upper angle is obtuse, and the nail-phalango
long and firm, giving generosity and an independence of
will that amounts to obstinacy of character, rather than
determination of purpose, while the short, waist-shaped
second phalange shows the subject lacks logic, sees but
one side of a question, as a rule, and argues with heat and
animosity as well as enthusiasm. '
The finger of Jupiter is well developed, long, quite
crooked, and inclines toward that of Saturn. Subject loves
power and prominence, is nr-customed to and enjoys man
aging people, but lacks principle and honesty in his meth
ods, and has considerable morbid pride. Independence of
thought is marked by the wide stretch between the first
and second fingers.'
The finger of Saturn, long, straight and thin gives
prudence, a love for solitude and for nature, and much
consideration but the subject prefers town to country.
The Apollo-finger is long, short and full in first
phalange and inclined toward Saturn, giving egotism
combined with, keen desire for notoriety and distinction.
Tlie first phalange, of Mercury alone shows in
print, short 'and full, indicating lack of tact; finger is
long and inclined outward toward tjie percussion. Subject
has good command of language and possesses commercial
capacity. r ' ....
All the mounts are well developed, that of 'Jupiter,
predominating and giving the keynote to the, character.
Subject is ambitious and has a power and energy that
border on the dictatorial and domineering. . Saturn
broad and full gives ;i taste for occult philosophy and-a
love for sacred music. Subject is sensitive and of erratic
moods. Apollo, brond and high, indicates much mercy
and wide-reaching 'sympathies.', Leaning ' toward Mer
cury, it shows. the higher 'aspirations sacrificed to com
mercialism. The 'development of Mercury, gives 'all the'
mercurial qualities of life love cf change, travel, excite
ment, quickness of thought, .power, of expression. Sub-
jiM xn . ii-ui iiiiii inn iimi- 111 aiiiuit-iii, luuu ui ruiin, iiul
afraid of hard work. Mars (under Mercury) is broad and
high and shows the born fighter. Subject has an arrogant
and boisterous courage, tending twoard outward display.
The mount of Venus is full; developed toward the angle of
music, t indicates a warm, sympathetic nature, and ap
preciation of the beautiful in sound. The manv deep.
crossed lines show a passionate disposition. Luna, high
toward the head-line, gives imagination practically de
veloped. ' .'''
The main lines of this hand are unusually broad
and long. The heart line, set rather high indicates some
jealousy, but the affections run very deep and the fork
ing of the line on Jupiter gives trueness of heart. Depth,
clearness and length of the head-line denotes much brain
power, quickness of intelligence and a retentive memory.
The subject has a dual nature; powers and gifts are not
always used toward an unselfish end. It is a nature, like
the ocean surf, prone to dueli its energy against the solid
rock of fact. . 'Tlie subject has eloquence as a writer,
spealier aud conversationalist, and is apt to use these
powers inconsiderately, and without looking ahead to de
termine tho consequences to others. ' '
