It gripped his aim, and despite his efforts to free himself, he could not shake the eagle off It struck at him with Its sword wing, dug Its shnrp talons thiough his clothing Into his arm. and used Its beojc most viciously. He called to his fik'nds a short distance away.

Directions foi making an Impression of your hand: Place a small piece ot gum camphor upon a saucer and Ig nite the same with a match, or use an oil lamp (icmove chimney), pass a sheet of white or yellow- wrapping papei that has not been crushed lapld ly over the flame until It becomes a deep black Take care not to burn the paper. Now place the paper upon the table over a pad of cotton, or any thing that may foim a small soft pad, ascertain where the pad Is, so that It may tit the hollow of your palm, hold- I lug the llngeis somewhat apart, press the palm of the left hand upon the limoked surface. Bcfoie lifting the hand pass a well-shatpened pencil I around the palm and llngeis so as to i clearly maik Its shape. Lift the hand I quickly o as to avoid any nibbing. Have ready some flatlf which can be bought at a drug store, or art stoic, or made with gum arable and water In nn atoml7er, or you can use ah ohol. Spray tho same over the Impression before it Is moved and allow to dry. Then It Is ready to send. All questions and Impressions must positively be dliected to the Palmistry Department, Hcianton Tilbuno All peisonal readlnss will be given at Mai tint's office 209 Washington avenue.

This palms contains a nice slop ing head line, llngeis slightly conic; would succeed In literary or Journalistic work; will become rich, but lesult of own effoits. The life line In this h in 1 Is not veiy long. If it is the same in the light band, that Is, ending suddenly, It tells of a sudden death at about Cfl. J. E.

Should I make Will I tiavel oi go abioad'' This palm would indicate man lage before SS; is the hand of a successful business man, has excellent judgment and tho courage of his convictions. If past 33 a change In business would be suc cessful Giace Gllllgan nsks the following questions: AVhen will I marry? Will I tiavel? Will my marriage be ,i suc cess or failure? This Impiesslon does not show a marriage line. However, the line of lnlluence of the opposite se would show an oppoitunlty as to marriage close to 23. The fate line tells of troubles In marriage at 33, be yond that happy; will tiavel a good deal late In life. Busy WorKers nsks tho following questions: How often will I mairy? Will I tiavel or go abroad'' This palm would Indicate twice manlagt; many things In the palm to indicate wealth bi ought about through mairlage, long Journey in store; will gain ilches at the end of a travel. Teamster asks the following ques tions: What am I best adapted for? When will I mnirj? Should I make any changes In business? This Is tho palm of a very practical man, could become a skilled mechanic; Is lather blunt and set in ways; would be well to restialn the same. Manlage Is bhown clcse to middle life if near 30 do not make nny changes, If far fiom It or past, all light. Bob White asks the following ques tions: What sickness Is there to como In my life? When will I marry? Will I die wealthy or poor' This pilm would Indicate a peison that Is likely to suffer fiom such as dyspepsia, kid ney or bladder trouble. Manlage Is shown before 3J; Is a favorite and much admired by the opposite sex; will amass wealth before 50. John Ronaud asks the following questions' What am I best adapted for? Will my man We be a success or falluie? Should I make any changes in business' This palm would Indi cate a person that would succeed In a business such as doctor or lawyer; marrlago appears to b lather a happy one, but well to cultivate sincere uf- rectton, as tne heart line indicates a frivolous nature In such things. There Is no change Indicated at present. CHRISTMAS DINNER FOR POOR. Salvation Army Is Making Arrangement-: for It.
