The Word Tin,

The word is old in the language, at
least Of slang, meaning a gift or loan.
Tip me your daddle" or ''tip us your
ripper (give me your hand, ''tip me a
hog" give me a shilling), "tip him a
wink Tor gleg')-these are all Of
common parlance and have been so, at
any rate, since an earlier date than
1855, when some of them, as well as
some others, were recorded by Crosse
in his classical Dictionary of the Vul-
gar Tongue" DR.. Johnson gives: ''To
tip-to give; a low cant term. Dry
den." A.: "tip" meant also "a draft"
or, as we should now say, "a drink"
also recorded by Crosse. This may very
probably have come from another
source SSIn the seventeenth century

Mistaken For Shafts.

A story is told of a pair Of feet that
must have been objects Of great regard
in their day.
One day party of men, including
jackson. the man Of big feet, were
preparing to attend political meeting.
1t was soon discovered that there was
no way Of conveying Jackson, as all
the vehicles were full
~Let me ride that horse over there?"
asked Jackson.
~There isn't a man in the world that
can ride that animal. He'll work to a
cart or plow, but no one can stay on
-Iafs back"
@tI'll try him, anyway" And the deter.
mined man instructed several men to
catch and hold the horse.
The animal plunged and kicked, but
finally Jackson secured seat in the
saddle.
Every one expected to see him dash
ed to the ground, but the horse looked
round, saw the mans feet and walked
peacefully away. He thought he was

WORDS.

Words are great forces in the realm of life.
Be careful of their use. Who talks Of hate,
OF poverty, of sickness, but sets rife
These very elements to mar his fate.
When love, health, happiness and plenty hear
Their names repeated over day by day,
They wing their way like answering fairies near,
Then nestle down within homes to stay.
Who talks of evil conjures into shape
That formless thing and gives it life and scope
This is the law; then let no word escape
That does not breathe of everlasting hope.

THE ESTATE.
A Friend Declares it Will
Amount to About
100000.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The
value of the estate of the late
President, inclusive Of every
thing he owned and the insurance
policies upon his life is believed
to he about 5000, 900.
When Mr.. Mckinley was elect
ed for the first time he had just
lost practically every cent he pos
sessed by indorsing notes for
OHIO friends. He was a most
generous man, caring little for
money. Ha stepped into the
White House financially wrecked.
not merely having lost all his
money. but heavily in debt and
with notes against him.
His friends, prominent among
whom were Mark Hanna and Fl.
Il. Kohlsaat, went to his rescue.
They took up his paper and put
MIN on MS feet.
The Presidents was frugal and
lived plainly at the White House
He saved a good part Of his sal-
airy Of nearly $1,000 a week, and
devoted it to repaying the friends
who had come to him in the hour
Of need. Eventually he paid back
every penny advanced on his be.
half, a sum total of about 800,
1000.
Que of Mr. McKinley's closest
personal friends said to-day tina
the Canton house was worth
1912, 900 aud the farm $50, 900. anc
that, with securities and cash O.
800, 600 and insurance of $50.
900, the estate would be worth
trife more than 5000. 900.
The late President left a will
the bulk Of the estate going tt
the widow.

HAND-SHAKING.

Just now there is quite a die
cussion in progress as to the de-
STABILITY of dropping the hand
shaking so common in this coun-
try. especially at receptions, to
eminent men in public life. Vari-
Gus reasons are given for its dis
continuance, and none of any par
ticuIar weight has SO far been Of
fered in favor of it's retention.
And still in its origin nothing
could be fuller of honest meaning
than this simple ceremony. 1t
originated in the feeling that by
stretching out the sword arm a
man showed another that he had
no weapon IN his hand and that he
could not strike a blow even if dis
posed to do SO. But this was its
rise and meaning in a so called
unciVillzed age.
Naturally, suggestions have
been made as to what will take
its place. The habit Of the China
man shaking his own hand is
hardly q good substitute, nor is
that plan available for genera
use that is said to have beer
adopted by a social club in the
Illinois town of Malines. Or
their meeting-room door they
have a large hand which does
duty as a bell-pull. Entering, {
member grasps it. and all tbs
Misunderstanding etiquette of TIT
occasion with reference to Friends
present is considered las having
been fulfilled.

ROOSEVELT LIKELY TO OUT
STRIP ALL IN RACE IN
1904.
Secretary Hay Wants to Retire
to Private Life, and Mr.. Root
May be His Successor at
Head of State Depart
ment.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken the first
opportunity which presented it.
self to ~forestall any serious doubt
as to his future policies. In oon-
vening a meeting of the present
Cabinet on Tuesday he notified
the members that be expected
them to continue their services,
not until he can decide upon their
successors, but until his term ex-
pires.
This is taken as conclusive evils
dence that President Roosevelt
will ba governed as he said, by
the policy outlined by President
Mckinley in his speech at the ex-
position on September 5tb, the
day before he vas shot, which
dealt at length with the Importance
of constructing the Isthmian Ca
nal, the laying of a Pacific cable,
the extension of American ship
ping and the establishment Of re-
ciprocity treaties.
The Presidents action with re-
ga,d to the Cabinet made a strong
impression among the senators
and representatives who who were
in the city Tuesday and Wednes-
day to take part in tbs funeral at
Canton. The Republicans, viewing
the action as sfectiDg the future
of their purity, we're unanimously
applaudipg MI. Roosevelt's decis.
ION. 1t is the general opinion
that there will be practically nc
departure from the policies inau-
gurated under the Mckinley ad.
minlsiration, and that the party
management will remain in the
present hands aad Mr.. Roosevelt
will become the Republican nomi
rec in 1904 On what may be term
ed a Mckinley platform. Thi
means thad Senator Hanna will b.
expected to take the chairman

ion Of earnest party men that MI
Hanna will consent to the propo
sition.

SOME COIN
DEN

There are several points of
similarity ia the circumstances
under which the three murdered
presidents of the United States
met their fate.
Each of them had laid aside
temporarily the cares OF state
and was enjoying much-needed
recreation.
Lincoln was attending the the
atre, which was one CT his favo-
rite diversions.
Garfield was about to start on
a visit to his ALMA mater, and
was, as Blaine said, in his great
funeral Grafton ia the capitol,
"all a boy again"
M Kinley was enj ,ying a 10
cial visit 10 Buffalo, an1 had just
returned FROM an excursion to
Niagara.
There was not the faintest ap-
prehension that any one of the
three presidents was in danger.
Lincoln and Garfield were en-
tirely unattended by detectives
or police. Some of both were
near Mckinley, out the assassin
concealed his purpose So we'll
that they did not suspect it.
Lincoln and Mckinley were
shot in the presence of a multitude
of people, and Garfield in the
well-flled waiting room Of a rails
way station
All three died early in the
presidential terms they were fills
ing. Lincoln had proceeded but
little more than a month in his
second administration; Garfield
had been president not quite four
months, and McKioley had barely
passed six months Of the second
four years of the presidency to
which the country had called him.
In fact, every vice president who
has been made president by the
hand of death has found much the
greater part of a foil presidential
term before him.
Tyler bad four years, lacking
one month; Fillmore, thirty-two
months; Johnson, four years,
minus about six weeks; Arthur
nearly forty two mouths, and
Roosevelt falls heir TO nearly
three years and a half of McKin-
ley's second term.
Another coincidence In the
. deaths of the three assassinateo
presidents is that death came -te
: each of them when he was very
generally and intensely popular
When Liocol3 died the civil
war was practically over, and TIT
north was glorifying him ss it hat
{ never before.
j Garfield, it is true, had mad
: some powerful enemies in bis owl
9 party, notably Roscoe Conkling
but he WIS still in quite as higl
favor with the masses of the PEG
pie as he was on the day Of bi
inauguration.
McKin!ey's popularity was GER
tainly at its highest point. Sine
his last election it had been in
creased immensely by his tour c
a large part of the South an
West and by his frequent expires
sions of a broad non-eectional
= ism.
