The McKinIey Hnndshakc.

A year or so ago Gov. Mckinley went
down TO the goodly Connecticut city of
Hartford on business; political business,
OF course. as Gov. Mckinley doesn't do
any other kind In Hartford he was call
ed upon by number of more or less
prominent men in the same line of bust
ness. As the native was presented to the
Ohioan he would extend his hand to grasp
that of the Napoleon of Protection with
that firm grip which the confirmed pro-
tectionist employs upon everything within
reach. Gazing into the blue eyes of the
visitor. the hand of the native would
wander through empty space in the place
where the others hand ought to be. Wis
ual search would then be made for the
missing hand, and it would be found
elevated to point on a level with the eyes,
the palm turned downward, and the fingers
depressed at an angle of forty-hve de-
grees. Reaching up, the visitor would.
insert his four fingers into the acute an
gle formed by the Ohioans thumb and
fingers, and their hands would be swayed
gently. with a lateral motion, one, two,
liftt tlHHeS
That is the Mckinley handshake. Hart
ford at first tried to claim it as her only
own, but it was too sweet thing to be
confined to so narrow limits. Connecti-
cut next wished to lay sole claim to it,
But the newspapers all over the country
celebrated it in picture, poem and heavy
editorial until even Connecticut became
TOO small for the great shake. 1t is now
to become national in employment, all
though peculiarly personal in its applica-
ton. 1t is to be employed in the McKin-
ley campaign. The great bosses at head
quarters will use it exclusively, and the
workers in the highways and byways win
be taught thus to grasp the horny hands
of the sons of toil-at least until after the
/ convention at St. Louis. The Mckinley
handshake has not yet been copyrighted,
though it is intimated that Mark Hanna
might feel called upon to take legal meas
ures to restrain any infringement of the
graceful and beautiful mode of salutation
by rival managers or workers.

The man who rides a bicycle and the
man who carries home an armful of bun
dies owe a debt of gratitude to the cham
pion labor-saving inventor, who resides in
Spokane, Wash. His invention may be
called a saluting device. Its purpose is to
tip the hat of the man who cannot spare
a hand with which to tip it himself All
the man has to do is to bow his head, and
the machine, which is attached to the
swaziland. takes the hat off poises it for
a moment during which a fitting motion
is impaired to the back of it just as if
the salutation We're handmade instead of
machine-made, and then drops the hat
back in it's proper place on the head. The
apparatus, stored in the crown of the hat,
is automatic. and is ready to bow again
just as soon as the wearer may desire to
do so. The strong points of thee device
will commend themselves not only to the
man with bundles and the man who can
not turn loose the handlebars. but also to

The Washington Star has found one re-
publican manager who has hit upon plan
to make black southern delegates to the
St. Louis convention stay bought until
after the ballot has been taken. After
agreeing with the delegate upon the price
of his vote, he cuts bank note of large
denomination into two pieces, gives one
piece to the negro and puts the other in
his pocket, telling the delegate that he win
be given the remainder of the note when
his vote has been recorded, This, by
the way, is not new schemes Ifreports
are to be credited, it has been tried in tho
south before, and is said to have worked
beautifully. The managers for Senator
Sherman, however, seem not to have been
up to the trick, or some interesting chap
ters in his book might not have been
written.

creek. Tucker had a leg thrown into the
water. and just as the buyer approached,
he saw the alligator hunter begin to
scramble up the bank while a huge sau-
rian beat the muddy water into foam.
AS the man reached the bank, the alli-
gator came, too, having swallowed a por-
