WHY SHAKE HANDS.

1t is proper once more to call at
tention to the danger attending the
practice of Misunderstanding. Aside from
the opportunities 1t affords for the en-
actment of such tragedies is that by
which the nation lost its president a
year ago. there is always chance
that unintentional injury may be done
when two people shake hands. The
eX-grand-mastcr of the Masonic Order
of Iowa has just been compelled to
have his right hand amputated be-
cause it was too ardently shaken by
"A friend a few weeks ago. Some of
the bones of the unfortunate mans S
hand were crushed and a cancerous
growth resulted.
1t is not uncommon for burly fellows
to grasp the hands of less vigorous
men. or of women. with such ierceness
as to make them wine. This is con
sidered funny, but it may be very ser.
ious. Some peoples bones are brit
tie and break easily. But whether
the majority 2of the cases of injury
that result from handshaking are
caused urintentionally or otherwise
the practice is foolish one and might
well be discontinued.
If people must shake hands it would
be wise for them to adopt George
Francis Trains method. When he is
introduced to anybody and when he
= meets friends he clasps his left hand
in his right one and gives it a shake
but he never touches hands with 9th
ers. If that practice were adopted
one would have only himself to blame
in case he became so ardent as to
break any bones.-Record-H Herald.

Governor Orman has offered a re
ward of 81 600 for the capture of the
train robbers who held up the narrow
gauge passenger on the Rio Grande.
He divides the sum into four parts,
making a reward of $3.50 for each
one. The Rio Grande having offered
$500 for the gang, the total reward
now offered for each robber is $375.
This reward should have been posted
long ago, says the Grand Junction
Sun, but was evidently held back in
the hope that the outlaws could be
taken by the roads secret service men
under the lead of Captain Brown. This
was vain hope, indeed, as the cap

as it stands now doesn't really amount
to anything; it is no incentive what
ever for an individual or officer to take
his life in his hand in an attempt to
arrest desperate criminal A
cheese-paring policy like that pursued
by the road in this case will inevitably

TEIEGRAPH EARNINGS

From partially estimated returns the
net earnings of the Western Union
Telegraph Company for the quarter
ending December 31st will be 81, $50, 600,
against actual net revenue of $1,712, $3.50
for the same quarter last year. Bond
interest of $244,OOO must be deducted
from this total thus reducing the
amount to 81 100000 out of which ST.
217OO5 must be set apart for the quar-
terly dividend payable January 10,
thus leaving a surplus for the quarter
of $685., 1896, which added to the amount
previously accumulated i'm that way
gives a total of $1O,2O1 500, an increase
of 81 ,236S42 from the surplus at the
corresponding date last year. The ac-
tual net revenue for the quarter end
ing September 80 was 81 ,949 3l6, so the
amount for the quarter ending Deem
Der 81 is not an eXtravagant estimate
The heavy surplus carried by the com
pany is a pretty good guarantee Of a
perpetuation of per cent dividends.
