is TOO MUCH HANDSHAKING?
Other Ways Of Greeting Friends That
Are Much Preferable, Accord
ing to Writer.

Although few have suffered the
unpleasant experience of the man in
the case recently reported, the bones
of whose hands Were forced out of
place by the vise-iike grasp of too
vigorous and unduly demonstrative
friend, most people will be inspired by
their personal recollections to sympa-
thize with this victim of misdirect-
ed ardor. Everyone knows people who
seek TO express the sincerity and ear
1sstness of their goodwill by squeez-
kthe hand they take as though they

81 e or so of bones which the human
hand comprises, andCevery one on
such occasions must have wished that
some other form of salutation than
the one most in vogue had been de-
vised and were generally practiced.
Shaking hands is relic of barbar-
ism anyhow 1t became the custom
in the days when every one carried
dagger in his belt and when one friend
meeting another thought 1t necessary
to attest the peacefulness of his In
tentions by extending an open palm,
Then the other man could do no less
than make similarly reassnring dem
onstration and the grasp of these two
extended hands naturally followed.
Subsequently. by a logical process OF
evolution the handshake grew to be
the conventional form of greeting and
the refusal of a proffered hand was,
regarded as one of those insults
whose dishonor can only be wiped out
with blood. Now the custom is too
firmly and widely established for It's
abandonment to be conceivable, and

yet there are various things about 1t
which render 1t unsatisfactory.
Rather surprisingly it has thus far
escaped the denunciations of the doc

a possible occasion for the communi-
cation of injurious microbes, but one

United States, nor even popular poll
tician engaged in a canvass for votes.

the handshaking habit had never been
contracted. There are SO many ways
of shaking hands that are objection.
able and there are SO many different
kinds of hands whose touch communi-
Gates a sensation not exactly pleasant
Hands that are too hot or too cold,
too moist or too dry, or whose inert
ness communicates an uncomplimen
tary sense of indifference on the part
of their poSsessors.
Every one Is familiar with the hand
shake in which all the shaking has to
be done by the party Of the first part,
in which the hand one grasps lies
limp and lifeless in ones own, to be
taken or left, to be squeezed or let
drop, as one pleases, while the atti-
tude of the owner suggests an abso-
lutte lack of interest in the proceed
ings. Behold, that also is vanity and
vexation of spirit. So is the question
which recurrently arises, and which II
may be suspected is the source of
much secret embarrassment the ques-
ton of to shake or not to shake.
Etiquette has its rules for this, but no
rules etiquette can formulate will
cover every case that may arise. and
to determine the right thing may not
always be easy.

Gen. Leonard W5od has just re-
turned from South America to take up
his duties as CHIEF. the general staff
Of the United States army the highest
military position which the service af-
fords.
Nearly II years ago. when Leonard
Wood was acting as governor of Santi-
ago. I wrote in the Outlook about what
he had already achieved, and what he
could be trusted to achieve During
the intervening ~ years he has played
n very conspicuous part among the
aen who have rendered signal service

they have enabled 1t to grapple with
the duties and responsibilities in
Cured by the Spanish war What has
been accomplished in the Philippines,
In Cuba, in Porto Rico. in Panama,
and in San Domingo during these 70
years represents a sum of achieve
ment of which this nation has right
TO be extremely proud. In each locali-
ty the problem has been different, in
neach locality it has been solved with
Dsignal success. OF course there have
been mistakes and shortcomings, but
on the whole 1t would be difficult to
find anywhere a finer record of sue
cessful accomplishment. This record
Is primarily due to the admirable quail
ity of the men put at the head of af-
fairs in the different places. Messrs.
Taft, Luke Wright. Smith and Forbes,
Messrs. Hunt. Winthrop, Post and Col
ton, Governor Magoon, Colonel Goeth-
als-to these and their colleagues and
subordinates the country owes a
heavy debt of obligation.
Most Of those l have mentioned are
civilians, Colonel Goethals, under
whom the gigantic work of the Pana-
ma canal Is being accomplished, with
literally astounding rapidity and sue
cess, is representative of the army
The share Of the army in the honor
roll Is very large. The Importance
of work like that of General Bell in
the Philippines. OF General Barry in
Cuba. can hardly be overestimated:
but. as whole. of all the work of the
army officers. the greatest in amount,
and the greatest in variety of achieve
ment, must be credited to General
Wood. And. moreover, he has at
<knes combined with singular success
Ie functions of civil administrator
and military commandant. The part
played by the United States in Cuba
has been one of the most honorable
ever played by any nation in dealing
with a weaker power, one of the most
satisfactory in all respects; and to
General Wood more than to any other
one man is due the credit of starting
this work and conducting it to sue
cessful conclusion during the earliest
and most difficult years. Like almost
all of the men mentioned. as well IS
their col igues, General Wood of
course incurred the violent hatred of
many dishonest schemers and un-
scrupulous adventures, and of few

more or less well-meaning persons
who were misled by these schemers
and advcnturers; but 1t is astounding
to any one acquainted with the facts
to realize, not merely what he accom-
plished. but how he succeeded in gain
ing the good will of the enormous ma
Jority of the men whose good will
could be won only in honorable fash
ion. Spaniards and Cubans, Christian
F1lipinos and Moros, Catholic eccle-
siastics and Protestant missionaries
in each case the great majority of
those whose opinion was best worth
having-grew to regard General Wood
as their special champion and ablest
friend. as the man who more than any
others understood and sympathized
with their peculiar needs and was
anxious and able to render them the
help they most needed
His administration was as signally
successful in the Moro country as in
Cuba. In each case alike it brought in
its train peace an increase in material
prosperity, and rigid adherence to
honesty as the only policy tolerated
among officials. His opportunity for
military service has not been great,
either in the Philippines or while he
was the governor of Cuba. Still, on
several occasions he was obliged to
carry on operations against hostile
tribes of Moros. and in each case he
did his work with sRlll, energy, and
efficiency; and, once 1t was done, he
showed as much humanity in dealing
with the vanQuished as he had shown
capacity to vanQuish them. In our
country there are some kinds of sue
cess which receive an altogether dis
proportionate financial reward; but in
no other country is the financial re-
ward SO small for the kind of service
done by Leonard Wood and by the
other men whose names I have given
above. General Wood is an army off,
Ger with nothing but an army officers
pay, and we accept it as a matter of
course that he should have received
practically no pecuniary reward for
those services which he rendered in
positions not such as an army Off icer
usually occupies. There is not an
other big country in the world where
hC "ouid uoL have ICSClNcA SUI
stantial reward such as here no one
even thinks of his receiving. Yet. aft
er all, the reward for which he most
cares is the opportunity to render
service. and this opportunity has been
given him once and again He now
stands as chief-of-staff of the Ameri-
can army. the army in which he was
serving in subordinate position as
surgeon 13 years ago. His rise has
been astonishing, and it has been due
purely to his own striking qualifica-
ton and striking achievements Again
and again he has rendered great serv-
ice to the American people; and he
will continue to render such service
in the position he now holds.
