Shaking Hands. Presidents agree that shaking hands with soveral thousand persons In the course of a public reception Is the hardest of work. I wonder they do not take a few lessons from those who have studied the art. There are men In New York who by a simple extension exten-sion of the first and second Angers to what we call the bracelet In palmistry, and by a gentle pressure of the thumb upon the back of the hand, immediately immediate-ly behind the second knuckle, will easily balk tho "gent" who prides himself upon his ability to "mako a man holler" by squeezing. The hand squeezer Is nine times out of ten a fraud. He is exhibiting muscle, not friendship. Men give President Roosevelt some mighty grips. Chief Joseph almost made him yell. By using us-ing the little trick mentioned the Great Father can stand oft a whole reservation of chiefs. New York Press.
