NOTE HOW THEY SHAKE HANDS
Frenchman Claims That Character ID
Revealed by Handicap.

A French professor has recently
made the disconcerting discovery that
we all reveal our true characters by
the way we shake hands.
Those who wish to dissimulate
should adopt the foreign habit of bow
ing instead of proffering the fingers of
friendship for 1t Is by the way we
grasp each other. and the amount of
pressure We put into our greeting,
that the true inwardness Of our char.
acter and temperament is sure to be
betrayed.
Some people never change their pc.
culiar style of greeting: and we have
most Of US suffered, at one time or an.
other, from the honest John" who
grasps you with an iron vice. the In.
dividual who treats your hand like a
pump handle, the woman who gives
you two fingers, the schoolgirls dem
onstrative wiring, and the young man
who holds your hand aloft as IL It were
an object in an exhibition Of curiosi.
ties.
Perhaps the most engaging greeting
of all Is that of the wondering-eyed
baby, who shamelessly stares you out
of countenance while II grasps one OF
your fingers tight In its exQuisitely
foolish hand.

A Socialists View

Gas long as there is profit i'm the Ii
quor business we will have strong
drink, said +. X. Evans, socialist
in Grand Rapids. "Men don't sell
liquor because they like the business.
They hateit. They hate to make young
men drunkards. The way to prevent
this business is to take the profit from
them, and they will cry for someone to
help them let go of the business.
have been socialist for the last four
years and 1 have yet TO see socialist
that is drunkard. Make man a
socialist and you make him temper
ance man.
'sIf we close the breweries now it
will throw men out of work and make
competition for work greater, but we
can take private ownership away from
the rich and make labor equal, and for
compensation we will give them social
ism and give them an opportunity to
earn their own living by the sweat OF
their own brow and not the sweat OF
another. Vote to close up the saloon
and get near to socialism"

TAKE TARIFF OFF LUMBER

1t is extremely gratifying to The
Northwestern Agriculturist to observe
the very general protest against the re-
tention of the present tariff on lumber,
which is being made by most of the
intelligent and public spirited journals
east of the Rocky mountains and north
of the extreme southern states. The
tariff on lumber ranges from 81 TO $3.50
per thousand and is largely prohibitive.
The only demand that can in any de-
gree be called popular that comes up TO
congress for the retention of the present
tariff on lumber comes from the Pacific
coast, especially the states of Washing
ton and Oregon, and from certain south
ern states which always vote for free
trade and which are now clamoring
for the retention OF an indefensible pro-
tective duty on lumber. The great
bulk of the population from which our
present government derives its power,
the people of the great central valley,
the agricultural people and those di.
rectly and indirectly dependent on
agriculture, and the consuming millions
of the east, are almost unit in clam.
oring for the repeal of the tariff on
lumber.
1t is up TO congress now, but little
later it will be up to the people; the
people of the great agricultural valleys
and plains of the nation.

AN enthusiastic local optionist, talk
ing the other day, said: GAS an illus
tration of what the "wet" does for this
city, it is said that one grocery and one
clothing store never notice the differ
ence when the refrigerator works have
a pay day, while one saloon cashes up
wards of go checks from the firm. Cut
out the "wets" and wouldn't legitimate
trade get the most benefit from these
checks? Wouldn't more of our chill
dren have better shoes to wear and
more wholesome food to eat?"
