What Started the Shake.

Barney Sheridan tells how that ele-
waited handmade, with elbow and fin
gers crooked to q jagged semi circle
started. 'sIt came from London" he
says. "Bout ten years ago. The Prince
OF Wales had boil at his armpit and
another at the elbow lust when q great
reception was ordered by his old moth
or, and he had to go. He had to shake
hands with the multitude and, of
course, had to give 'em the high ball
with q sort Of marble heart curve. ;
With rush this attitude in handshak-
ing was taken up by the goldfish aris-
tocracy and our regular army. 1t had
the stamp of snobbery and SO it spread
among the elite of the East, like relig-
ion in plantation camp meeting. A few
Paola people being exposed to it some
years ago on the Atlantic side of the
Mississippi river, brought it here. >

J. A. ". SMITH SAYS
 HE IS A CANDIDATE
For Vacancy on Federal Bench Caused By Judge
 Bruce's Death

The vacant United States judgeship con- tinues to attract great deal of atten- tion.
 MT. T. A. w. Smith was seen yesterday afternoon and questioned as to his prob able candidacy for the place on the fed eral bench made vacant by the death of Judge Bruce. He said:
 ''Ycs, intend to apply for the appoint ment. and this afternoon mailed to judges and other officers of my acquaintance a letter of the following import:
 Dear Sir: am going to apply for ap- pointment to the office of judge of the District Court of the United States for the middle and northern districts of Ala bama, to succeed Judge John Bruce, who died on the first of this month, and would very much appreciate a letter from you addressed to the President, saying what you consistently can in my behalf. Yours truly, J. A. w. SMITH"
 He further said that an appropriate let ter was also mailed to one attorney of his acquaintance in each of many places In north Alabama, where he is best known, requesting members of the bar to endorse him, if in their opinion he would be acceptable; but that he did not expect immediate replies. as time to consider the merits of each applicant would doubtless be taken. His friends will call on members Of the local bar at an early date.
