Kissing.


at is borne in upon me-" as they
used TO say in old times, that | have
message for the girls on the subject
of kissing; such message as an older
sister who has more experience Of
life may give to one who is younger,
Yet a baby of three once gave me a
lesson on this subject. ] was "get-
ting well" for some weeks at one
of the numerous health resorts which
are dotted all over our country, and
for the most part cherry group Of
inyalids were gathered there. This
wee girl was the daughter of one,
and was at the bewitching age when
every woman of us all who was true
to her womanly instincts, wanted to
catch the child in her arms and hug
her. M #
In common with the rest, one day
l besought her to give me kiss. The
baby drew herself up with an air
and said, mamma tells me not to
tiss!" At once the wisdom of the
mother impressed me, and one phase
of indiscriminate kissing was present
ed as never before. To touch lips
that might carry with them the
breath of illness-the wise mother
meant her child should run no such
risk.
Girls are impulsive, they would
lose much charm if they were not {;
they make theiF dear five hundred
friends, and every time they meet
and every time they part they kiss
one another. The dear five hundred
or the most of them, drop out of the
daily life as the years go on, and are
replaced by others, and the habit
grows until now you may see women
kissing each other everywhere, in
cars, at railway stations, in all public
places. Women too who are not
friends, but who have only the bar
est acquaintance with each other ;
perhaps they met week ago for the
first time. Many who never offer
salutes after this fashion, yet submit
to them with an inward sprotest, lest
they be thought discourteous in re.
fpsing.
A sensitive, delicate lady told me
that she was forced to live for some
time in boarding house where there
were frequent changes. 1t was one
of the annoyances of her life that she
was SO often Obliged to submit to this
disagreeable contact, or be counted
rude. She said in the case of one
woman whom she particularly did
not like, she dreaded for days The
time of her departure, expecting she
must receive her goodbye kiss. But,
as she put 1t in her bright way,
Providence Kindly interfered in my
behalf, and made me i'll in bed just
then, so I did not see the woman
when she left the house."
Do not think l counsel any unkind
feeling toward others; far from it
Only remember, a kiss is the most
sacred expression of love which you
can give to your mother, or your sis
ter, or your dearest friend; and tel
you now what l know to be true
that really refined women, as they
grow older, grow chary of scattering
such gifts right and left to every
chance acquaintance.

One of the most remarkable cases of es-

leigh county. A family named Swamsey,
who recently settled in the county, is COM
posed OF father, mother aud three daugh-
ters. Until within the past few weeks the
relations between husband and wife were
the most loving, and no one who knew
them dreamed that a separation could be
possible. One night Mrs. Swamsey left
the house and wandered about until morn.
ing, when she was found several miles
from her home. At first it was thought
she had lost her reason. but she was ra-
tional in all that she said and demeaned
herself in, such manner as to
her that she was perfectly sane.
She insisted on remaining from home land
when her husband went to her to plead
with her to return she refused to see him
and walked away. Mr.. Swamsey was
dumbfOunded at the conduct of his wife,
and almost Frustrated by her refusal to re-
turn to her home. With the exception of
her action with regard to her husband
there is nothing peculiar in the conduct of
Mrs. Swamsey. and she goes about in the
most reserved and quiet manner. AS she
speaks of dream it is believed that some
vision in her slumber created in her mind
such an aversion to her husband that she
has become mOnOmaniac on the subject,
and there is little hope of her returning to
the husband and daughters, with whom
she has had not even the slightest diffic ulty.

Edmond Hackett, who will be remem-

first mechanics, is making a record as an
inventor in his Guthrie, Oklahoma home. He

The car coupler which is the outcome of

Nothing Dull About This.

candidates on every corner ripping the
lappels ::of every coat within reach. 1t is
pretty dull, if dullness consists in gen
eral rush and scramble and wild, deter
mined see-saw for friends and votes. Talk
about it being dull, when you can see one
candidate for the legislature striking pell-
nell for the country, another corralling
group of unsuspecting citizens on Fourth
street, still another returning with sweat
streaked steeds from the rural pre-
cincts and several more playing hide
