Gen Leonard Wood 1ms just re
turned from South America to take up
his duties as chief of the general staff
of the United States army the highest
military position which the service af
fords
Nearly 12 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 he trusted to achieve During
the intervening 12 years he has played
a very conspicuous part among the
men who have rendered signal service
to the country by the way in which
they have enabled It to grapple with
the duties and responsibilities in
curred by the Spanish war What has
been accomplished in the Philippines
in Cuba in Porto Rico in Panama
and In San Domingo during these 12
years represents a sum of achieve
ment of which this nation has a right
to be extremely proud In each locali
ty the problem has been different in
each locality it has been solved with
signal success Of course there have
been mistakes and shortcomings but
on the whole it would be difficult to
find anywhere a finer record of suc
cessful accomplishment This record
is primarily due to the admirable qual
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 T have mentioned are
civilians Colonel Goethals under
whom the gigantic work of the Pana
ma canal is being accomplished with
literally astounding rapidity and suc
cess is a 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 a 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
times combined with singular success
the 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 a suc
cessful conclusion during the earliest
and most difficult years Like almost
all of the men mentioned as well as
their colleagues General Wood of
course incurred the violent hatred of
many dishonest schemers and un
scrupulous adventurers and of a few
IS TOO MUCH HANDSHAKING
Other Ways of Greeting Friends That
Are Much Preferable Accord
ing to Writer
Although a 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 like grasp of a too
vigorous and unduly demonstrative
friend most people will be inspired by
their personal recollections to sympa
thize with this victim of a misdirect
ed ardor Everyone knows people who
seek to express the sincerity and ear
nestness of their good will by squeez
ing the hand they take as though they
were trying to break every one of the
score or so of bones which the human
hand comprises and every 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 a relic of barbar
ism anyhow It became the custom
in the days when every one carried a
dagger in his belt and when one friend
meeting another thought it necessary
to attest the peacefulness of his in
tentions by extending an open palm
Then the other man could do no less
than make a similarly reassuring 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 its
abandonment to be conceivable and
Birds Powerful Voice
There is a bird known as the naked
throated bell bird that has such a
powerful voice that it can be heard
three miles away It is loud and
pieicing and has been likened to the
sound produced by a blacksmith
striking an anvil
more or less well meaning pertocs
who were misled by these schemers
and adventurers but it 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
Filipinos 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 signaly
successful in the Moro country as in
Cuba In each case alike it brought in
its train peace an increase in material
prosperity and a 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
yet there are various things about It
which render it unsatisfactory
Rather surprisingly It has thus far
escaped the denunciations of the doc
tors who have spared no little else as
a possible occasion for the communi
cation of injurious microbes but one
does not have to be a President of the
United States nor even a popular poli
tician engaged in a canvass for votes
not sometimes to have wished that
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
cates 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
lute 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 it
may be suspected is the source of
much secret embarrassment the ques
tion 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
It will be seen that the Chinese
plan has its advantages The China
man 3ou meet does not shake your
hand He bows and shakes his own

The modern hunter of freight cars
is not satislied with knowing where
all the cars on his own lines are at the
end of each days run Modern busl
ties life has become so rapid that in
the case of certain kinds of freight it
is necessary to know just where each
car is every few hours This kind ol
freight is called time freight
Ordinary freight Is dead freight
Time freight consists only of certain
materials These materials run alpha
betically all the way from asbestus
through cranberries egg case tillers
ink peanuts and varnish down to

are reported by telegraph from all di
vision points

course that he should have received
practically no pecuniary reward for
those services which he rendered in

THE STOMACH
Its Power to Resist its Own Gastric
Juices Is a Puzzle
One of the greatest questions dis
turbing the minds of physiologists
both past and present is that of the
stomachs digesting powers It is
asked why the stomach does not digest
itself It is well known that gastric
even thinks of his receiving Yet aft- j juices have the power to digest the Us
er all the reward for which he most sm ut which the stomach is made
cares is the opportunity to render j one of the things actually mauutae
service and this opportunity has been tured by the body secreted iu the
given him once and again He now i glands near the stomach and poured
stands as chief-of-staff of the j juto js hydrochloric acid a power
can army the army in which he was fUj ageut that will eat up almost any
serving in a subordinate position as thing Why it does uot eat the stomach
surgeon 13 years ago His rise has Up is problematical
been astonishing and it has been due t is kuowu that a stomach from a
purely to his own striking dead animal or man can be digested
Mon and striking achievements Again uv living man It has been found
and again he has rendered great out aS that when a man is killed
ice to the American people and he accidentally and his stomach is iu the
will continue to render such service pm ess of digesting if the body be
in the position he now holds J kept warm his whole stomach will be
THEODORE ROOSEVELT j digested and possibly too adjacent
organs as liver pancreas etc From
i -
this it was argued that the principle
of life kept the process from going
on iu a living being Subsequently
however this was proved to be untrue
A living frog was put in an uncon
scious condition and his leg inserted
through a small hole in a dogs
stomach the dog being alive and well
It was found that the frogs leg was
wholly digested in the process al
though living So the last reason con
ceivable was proved incapable of ex
plaining the pheuotneuon
About the only conclusion left is that
the stomach does gradually actually
eat itself up but that it is being con
stantly rebuilt However as this ex
periment is hard to perform and as no
results have so far been announced in
this direction we are left in a state of
absolute ignorance and all we caD do
is to be devoutly thankful to Provi
dence that our stomachs do not digest
themselves except in the ordinary
course of human events Lawrence
