A Boston Paper Hangers Trouble and
How he Got Out of It-Plain
Words from the Sunny South

When are in trouble we cry for help. When
arc relieved we often forget to be thankful.
But not always. Mr., W. w. Griffin of Trout creek,
St. Ciai- Co. Ala, writes: II had bad attack of

Three Kinds of Kisses.

Outside of those kisses bestowed by atfec-
tionate relatives, there can be but three
recognized classes of the genus kiss-as
viewed from male standpoint. The first
comes upon your lips as if they were touched
by a smooth planned, cool and insensate
board, without life or neutrality-suspicious.
tive of any agreeable sensation whatever,
and not being worth garnered with the
hearts mementoes of golden, happy hours
The second is n gentle velvety kiss, very
sweet and pleasant, but yexatiously unsatissy-
ing to an ardent nature, and but little more
pronounced than fascinating cousin would
likely bestow. The third is such as coral,
tempting passionate lips bestow, for about
ten seconds, upon your lips-"a lingering
sweetness long drawn out'-that not only
steals your breath, but seems to be drawing
your very soul from out of your body. A
fellow may forget his mother-and about the
time he is harvesting such kiss he is sure
to forget her--but the recollection OF that
undwarfed, honest kiss will abide with him,
a source of joy, and be commensurate with
life itself Union Local.

Ono Weeks Expenses.

A Wall street man who enjoys tho honor
of being the father of n 20-year-old son who
has developed tho practice of painting the
town red into Il fine art remarked the other
day:
II took a fancy last month to find out
about how much money Dick could spend in
a week. l make him a regular allowance
and pay it to him on Mondays. After he
spends this he comes to me to beg more.
Sometimes he gets it and sometimes he don't,
according to the humor l am in. This time
1 gave him what he asked for without ques-
ton. AT the end of the week l counted up
and found that he had spent $50"
"What had he spent it for!" demanded ono
of the party.
The fond parent shrugged his shoulders
and rolled his cigar between his lips.
"Egad," he replied, "he doesn't know him

The finance committee of the county
b BARD Of supervisors completed its inves~
tigatiou of the accounts of John NJ.
Reticker.eX sheriff of Rock Island county
this morning. As was the case with tx-
County Treasurer Jennings books, they
found balance due the county which
had not been shown before, and which
accordingly had not been psid in. The
amount of the shortage is SsSl.S5,
which Mr. Reticker, who is now in the
city, was notified of, and which with Mr.
Fleming's accounts will lie settled the
first Of next week.
The reason Of Mr. Retlcker's indebted
ness to the county is readily ex~
planned, and was simply due to failure
on his part to credit the county with
money which had been paid into his
office While this was careless proceeding
on MI Retckcr's part, the county board
should shoulder the blame, as he
had repeatedly requested the board to
have the finance committee check up his
accounts, and at the end of the first two
years of his administration he succeed in
having his accounts examined, and a
difference of fifty cents was found in
his favor At the time of his retirement
from office, he again sought an investiga'
ton of his accounts. He desired this
done in order that he might have the
satisfaction of knowing that everything
was in good shape before removing from
the state. But he was unable to bring
abb out the desired investigation
