The Art of Kissing.

Never kiss a young girl if she don't
want you to. The main ingredient that
makes kissing endurablc is Willingness
in the part OF the female. If it Gccpens
into anxiety so much the better. When
girl claws mans hair and scratches his,
face like a fool, drop her at once. She liz
destitute of good taste and natural affection
and the sooner you make love to her sister,
the better. AS long as a girl don't claw
and yell and struggle like a panther it IS
perfectly safe prospecting. Get little
behind her, pass the right arm around the
waist in front. take her left hand and if you
don'tknow whatto do next go associate with
the boys in the First Ward. If you arc
just beginning to teach a sly young girl.
who has been kissed heretofore by her:
brothers and father. touch your lips gently
to her forehead. She will take this for an.
exhibition of profound respect. When
that position has been gained, working the
way down to the lips is as natural and easy
as the course ofa log sliding down wood.
flume Never sit down to kiss; it looks.
awkward in case anybody is looking, and
seems awkward. anyhow. Stand up, and
the closer you press the girl the higher
estimate she will place ON your good taste

Bonfs for the Rear Pa,c.

The Black Hills newspapers persist in
closing the river from Bismarck to Benton
against Bear Paw stampedcrs. The latest
is claim that passengers are forced to
lay at Bismarck two weeks and that it
takes sixteen days for the trip. The aver

and Benton and return has been about Is

miles this side of Benton. P:ats have
left Bismarck every week ff.r Benton and
frequently almost ev.-ty day in the week.
