THE wiFE's KISS.
There's the kiss pressed on the lips Of the

There's the kiss pressed on the lips Of the
child
OF flowers when parting at night;
The kiss of mother our sorrows beguiledS..
Making the face CHEEKY and bright;
The kiss so silly of girls who meet,
Who so bltsslessly kiss In lieu;
But the kiss that lasts and makes life swees&
Is the kiss of the wife that's true
Kisses in kinds as countless as sands
Of friendship, betrayal, deceit; ,l.-.,.
The kiss on the eyes, the forehead and hands
The kiss that is awkward and neat;
The kiss that's given-the one we steal,
The kiss that awakes US all through;
But the sweetest kiss that lips can feel
Is the kiss of the wife that's true
There's the kiss of youth and the kiss of
years,
And the kiss we lay in the grave;
The kiss VIC press in sunshine and tears
The kiss for the brow of the brave;
But the kiss that is the kiss of life,
To him who the gamut runs through
That brings surcease TO anguish and strife,
Is the kiss of the wife that's true

The Greek government, replying to sec

siders any obstacle offered to the free dispos-
al of Hellenic forces incompatible with Greek
independence, and therefore declines the re-
sponsibility for an eventual conflict.
The Turco-Bulgarian agreement confirms
the appointment of Prince Alexanderias per-
msnent governor of Eastern Roumelio; pro-
vides for mutual help to repel foreign inva-
sion, and gives Turkey control of some Mus

commission appointed under the sanction of
Prince Alexander.
In other respects the agreement is drawn
up in accordance with the provisions of the
Berlin treaty.
A despatch states that Turkey invokes the
powers to resume the Balkan conference at
Constantinople, to sanction the Turko BuIga-

The Vienna Correspondence Politique says
that the Turkish ambassador at London has

forms in the empire.

The feeling in Arizona and New Mexico in
favor of the summary execution of Geronimo
the Apache chief. and the surviving members
of hi. bIoodthirsty band is rapidly growing
into a demand. Reports received from va
rious portions of the two territories ravaged
by the red fiends plainly indicate that the
people are greatly aroused and will oppose
the usual course pursued by military athori-
ties in allowing the renegsdes to
return to their reservations unpunished
Petitions will be sent to Washington insisting
that Geronimo and his followers be tried for
murder under the local laws of the territories
where bis crimes were committed. The
dreaded Apache expects the same privileges
will be extended to him as were granted his
predecessors. He has faith in the humanity
of Gen. Crook and other leading officers of
the army. HIS has always been provided with
clothing, 10 we'll fed and cared for and has
expressed desire to be returned to the San

Many of the killed were women having high
ly respected connections in the East. IT the
