A HANDsHAKE.
Story Of Parting Clasp BY One Who

They had been talking about vari-
Gus ways Of shaking hands and had
pretty we'll gone over the ground COW
cred by all the philosophic writings on
handshakes when one of the men in
the group said:
1.-THE most expressive handshake I
ever saw was given by one man to
another. There was no tie of kinship
between them.
Each was about forty. Both were
In perfect health. One had the pros
poets Of many years Of life. The other
was to die within minute, and the
man whose hand he held was to kill
him.
1T seemed to me then that l could
read the meaning of the handshake
given by the man about to die to the
man about to kill him. It seemed to
say: You are good man, and like
you. thank you for many acts Of
Kindness and especially for this friend

"Then. with gently lingering cling,
he let the other mans hand slip from
his own. There was volume of mean
ing In that motion.
1T seemed to say that there were
the morrow's sunrise and many more
for the man whose hand he was re-
leasing, but for him a few moments
more Of life, and then 1t seemed to
say that there was an age Of human
companionship in every instant during
which the two hands touched.
1T seemed to say that when the
clasp was broken he was forever cut
of from the living and was as one
dead. And many other things it SEEM
ed to say that cannot translate into
words.
within a few seconds one of the
men gave the signal that ended the
life of the other.
1T was case," the story teller con-

the usual merciful portion of liquor

fused it.
"By the way, have seen several
persons hanged, and think this man

scaffold without being 'doped' with

But the only deeds of violence that
were ever done were the attempt up
on the life of President Jackson and
the killing Of Representative Taulbee
Of Kentucky, and let us hope that nc
others may occur, or even be contem
plated, under any circumstances. But

Of the capitol would be. as it forever

Riding to Get Most Speed From Hors

Riding to Get Most Speed From Horse
Why does man seated near the
neck of a horse travel faster than one
seated near his tail? For it has been
proven within recent years in very
striking fashion that he does. But
why:
The reason is very simple and yet
when little Tod Sloan, the Jockey
came forward with practical proof no
body seemed to be able to explain it.
A horse to move forward at all must
thrust at the earth and the chief force
of this forward thrust comes from his
hind legs. II the chief weight is just
over or close to the thrusting power
naturally it diminishes its efficiency;
instead of thrusting the horse forward
a portion of it is wasted in lifting the
weight Of the jockey at every stride
