OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
FASHIONABLE KISSING FOUND
TO BE A DELUSION.

Round Lake.
LAKE GEORGE, Sept. al have been in
gestigating fashionable womans kiss
lately and find it to be an empty deusion,
1t is fiimsy fraud. ! find women do not
kiss at all. When our party left Saratoga
to come to the Sycamore, | watched ff-
teen fashionable young ladies' as they
"kissed their lady friends goodbye but
there was not one genuine kiss In the
entire crowd. The young ladies walked
up to each other, held noses on ears. and
cheeks on cheeks for two seconds, then
gently separated like two billiard balls.
There was no OSCILLATION and no smack.
They were all cold, bnliard-ball kisses.
such kisses may suit women, but they
are not the kisses to suit man. man
would not be a party TO any such decep
tion. Think OF a Young man going ten
miles 10 see bis sweetheart. and, when he
kissed her goodbye, was foolish enough
to simply touch her cheek and hold his
nose for two seconds against her ear!
LAKE GEORGE.
Lake George IS 90 minutes from Sara
toga. 1t is forty miles long, about four
miles wide and unreasonable in depth.
1t is situated in the foothills of the Adj
rondack mountains. Formerly the princi-
pal hotel on the lake was the Fort w IN.
Henry, but last year a party OF rich
Phiiadelphians built the beautiful Saga
more, which has drawn all the guests
from the Fort VIM. Henry. Fashion is
tickle. She is cOQuette, and viii always
abandon an old friend as soon as new
and handsomer friend appears.
The amusemeuts al the Sycamore are
tennis. flirting, fishing and boating. The
water Of the Jake is so clear that YOU can
sec big black bass fifteen feet from the
surface. 1t is vastly amusing to spe the
FISH foOling around your hook. There is
no false Jerking You wait tin you see "a
big fish swallow your hook and then haul
HIM out. With a simple snare I've caught
splendid black bass from the pebbiy
bottom fifteen feet below the placid sur
face.
EARLY LAW IN LAKE GEORGE.
Twenty years ago the region about Lake
George was a wilderness. Now the shores
of the lake are lined with picturesque cot
tages and cosy hotels The former pre-
siding Judge of the entire Adirondack re-
gion was Judge w entworth. The Judge
lived at Bottom, the post Office for the new
Sycamore hotel. He kept livery stable
and killed bears in the mountains. Tne
appearance of q bear in the foothills would
draw the Judge out Of the court room and
adjourn the court. on these occasions
the Judges decisions were hurried and
arbitrary. One day, in the middle OF a
"cOw case" the Judge heard that the boys
were running bear. When he heard the
hounds he put on his hatright ia the mid
die Of the defendants speech, and said
"Tnere, John, you can dry up now; |
can't attend 10 law when the boys are
running bear. I've heard enough about
the case, and Pm going TO decide against
you"
But, YOUR Honor" expostulated the
lawyer; ''you can't decide against me; the
law is all on my side"

THE TENNIS FIEND.

shoes. and white cap far enough back
on his head not to disturb bis bang. In bis

tennisG o, no, he don't play tennis. He
simply dresses this way because IT is pie
turesQue and cheap. With a racquet in
his hand he can loaf around the hotel par
Tor and talk with all the pretty girls.
Take the racquet out Of bis hand. and he
would look like a stone mason. Put a
trowel or something useful in bis hand,
and all the girls would cut him. There
are Just 1886 just such tennis tends at
the waterlng-place this year.
Akin 70 the tennis fend is the young
lady with pug cog. This dog has "a col

REV. JOHN JAsPER's PHILOSOPHY.
The Rev. John Jasper, the sun-dO-m0ve
philosopher, OF Richmond, Va, visited
Round Lake, near Saratoga, last week.
Mr.. Jasper still maintains that his theo-
ry-that the world stands still, and thai
the sun moves around it's true.
"Et de sun don't move, =" said Mr.. Jasper
IN the most solemn manner, "den why did
Joshua command IL TO stan stilli No,
