WHERE 1T Does THE MOST GOOD.

There's great deal of bliss in u lingering kiss
And oceans of solid rapture;
There are lots of fun In a stolen one
II you're clever about the capture.
The cutest trick in a kiss that's quick
Is to put II where II belongs;
TO see that II goes below the nose
And knocks at the gate Of songs.
A kiss that is cold may do for tho old,
Or pass with a near relation;
Ilut one like that is q work-thot's flat
OF sapererogation.
III you're going To kiss be sure Of this
That the girl has got some heart in her;
] wouldn't give a darn for the full of a barn
or kisses without a partner.
The point of this rhyme is to take your time,
Kiss slowly, and do It neatly,
II you do the thing right and ere halfway
bright
You can win her sweet heart completely.
Life.

After Diphtheria.

Diphtheria is terrible disease,
requiring the greatest medical skill
to effect complete cure. Even when
its power is broken, it clings to the

Three Stories About Soldiers.
Atlanta Constitution.


n good story is told on young
recruit who recently enlisted at
Camp Hancock, near Atlanta. The
young fellow joined the army while
the country was threatening war
with Mexico and he intended to
make good soldier. One day he
was on guard duty and was slowly
stepping along when an officer ap-
preached After the usual salute
the officer said:
LET me see your gum"
The raw recruit handed over his
Springfield rifle and pleased ex-
preston stole over his face.
AS the officer received the gun he
said in tone of deepest disgust:
''You're fine soldier. You've
given up your gun, and now what
are you going to do!'
The young Atlantian turned pale,
and, reaching for his hip-pocket,
drew a big six-shootcr, and, prepar-
ing for business, said in voice that
could not be misunderstood:
Gimme that gun, or I'll blow a
hole through you in pair r min
utes.'
The officer instantly decided not
to monkey" any further with the
raw recruit, and the gun was
promptly surrendered.
