 N. Y. Tribune: 'sThe Philadelphia
 Press" suggests that the habit of presi- dential hand d-shaking be stopped. No doubt it is serious annoyance. Many presidents have suffered physical distress, and even anguish, because of it. But it would take firm resolution on presi- dents part to break it up. Every man who goes to Washington considers . grasp of the presidents hand one of his inalien. able rights as an American citizen. It seems such little thing for the president to shake his hand, and he finds it easy to forget that to the president his is only one of several hundred, or even thousand, hands upon which some strength and ner- vous force must be expended. It might be easier to break up the custom If Ameri- cans were, like so many Europeans, accus- toned to bow gracefully without shake Eof the hand. Few of them are, however, and the hand shake is welcomed by many of them as an escape from awkwardness. How would it do to form National. League of Those Who Will Not Shake. Hands with the President?

Chicago Herald The other day a big, ine-looking horse attached to grocer's wagon fell down in the middle of a slip pery pavement. The driver did not jump down and belabor the animal with club, as most drivers would have done. He did alight from his wagon and loosen the harness upon his horse. Then he took from the wagon g lap-robe and spread it upon the slippery pavement near the fallen horses feet. The intelligent animal did not mistake the mute suggestion. He eyed tue robe for a moment, and then he edged around until his feet were upon it. With an effort he struggled to an upright position, and then lifted his feet while th1 driver picked up the robe.

cause their thoughts 10 roam back to the
time when, as little fellows, they went
to the ''deestrick skule" and sat on

inches from the floor. However, the
fact remains that men do like TO sit Oh

This tendency to sit high works to the
