There is one of the duties of President
of the United States from which he cer-
tainly ought to be excused. That is
shaking hands with every stranger who
calls on him. In the early days of the re-
public, when there was only one caller on
the chief executive of the nation where
now there are at least a hundred, it did
not SO much matter. Il was perhaps q
delicate way of indicating to voter that
he was as good as president in this land
/ oflight and liberty. Now, however, we
have been proving that equality for more
than 100 years, and all the world knows
1t by this time. One day since President
Mckinley has been in Office he shook
hands With 1000 persons. 1t is appalling,
the thought of wagging all those hands.
gloved and ungloved, clean and other
wise. So far as the physical exhaustion
produced by it goes, the same length of
time spent in choppiug wood could not
weary man more, and it would be a
much more healthful exercise. The tax
is still greater on presidents wife. Mrs.
: Cleveland is said to have suffered severe
ly from the custom. Let it be dropped.
There are now too many people in the
United States for all to have tug at a
presidents or presidents wife's hand.
Bowling is enough.

greatly impaired, with poor appetite and
worse digestion. Numerous medicines
were used without relief, until began
the use of Botanic Blood Balm-B. B. B.

Spanish Soldiers Leave Cuba.

WAsHINGToy, April 16.-According to
information received from trustworthy
sources here, the withdrawal of at least
part of the great army that Spain has
maintained for several years in the island
eof Cuba will begin when the rainy season
sets in within few days. The initial
movement will be the departure of 10, 900
Spanish troops from Havana for Spain,
and within short time after that $1,000
troops, it is understood, will follow.
Whether this movement is to be construed
in favor of or against the insurgents, it is
impossible to say. The Spaniards insist
positively that it means only that little
or nothing remains Of the insurrection !;
that Gomez had only about fifty or hun
,dred followers, and that to watch these
under the conditions in which the cam
paign has been necessarily conducted a
-few thousand men are quite as effective
as the army of $50, 900 men which has been
maintained in Cuba. The Cuban contin-
gent, on the other hand, insist that the
Spaniards' financial resources a-e ex
Ihausted, and that the troops are to be
withdrawn because of lack OF money to
keep them in service

Post Dispatch from Fayetteville, Ark,
says: Two young sons of Mr.. IIeson,
living at Greenland, five miles south Of
Fayetteville, aged nine and fifteen years,

strychnine and went to bed.
Both died before their parents return
cd home. The notes left bade their pa
