Girls Like to BE Kissed.

A young society man who moves in the
younger circles told something out of the
usual run the other day. He is hand
some fellow, tall and erect, and prime
fayorite among the girls.
He said that he attempted to kiss pretty
girl, and just as he got his arms around
her slender waist and was about to kiss
her she said if he dared she would scream.
Not wishing to have scene, which such
an action would cause, he withdrew his
arm and resumed his seat at the other end
of the sofa. In an instant the pretty girl
said, "Oh, thought you were Drawer than
that" a#
She, however, obstinately refused to let
him kiss her.
In couple of days he called on another
girl. He wanted to kiss her, but she like
wise threatened to scream If he should at
tempt it. He thought he would profit by
his former experience and paid no atten-
tion to the warning.
He kissed her-she screamed; her mother
came in and demanded an explanation.
The girl came to bis rescue, however, and
said mouse was in the room, and she
screamed as it ran across ths floor. Fur
thermore, by saying the young man had
calamity tried to catch the mouse, she ex'
p)ained his bushes to the mothers salts

Few men were ever fonder of news and
gossip than was old Jerry Clishen. Despite
this fondness, however, Jerry was not q
talker, and rarely took part in converse
ton other than to ask an occasional ques-
ton about some point of special interest
One day Jtkry's brother William, who
lived some miles away, came to visit him.
William had his right hand heavily band
aged, and this fact, of course, required an
early explanation.
'sBurnt it most off It the fire t. other
light" said William. "Ye see, old Square
Deans barn got afire, m went with the
est; but 'twan't any use, bout everything
ras burnt. III wuz the square I'd give
hat boy sech a hckin' Il he couldn't

"What for?" asked the interested Jerry.
"Why, fur settin' the barn afire," was
5he reply; "but therel furgot ter tell ye
bout that part of it. Ye see thesquare's

and so the old man went on with long
story, giving every detail of what was
done, said and thought by each one who
was present at the fire.
When at last the story was ended ole
Jerry remained for several minutes si
lently meditating on what he had heard
then he suddenly looked up and gravely
asked, "Did ye say whether the boy killed
the owl?'-Youth's Companion.

A General Passenger Agents Story.

Colonel A. G. Dawes is general passenger
agent of system of western roads with
headquarters in st. Joseph, Mo. Before
the days of the interstate commerce law
the colonel was easy of access to the editor,
who was always in need of transportation.
One night he was called out of bed by one
of the profession, who informed the colonel
that he, the editor, was broke, and that he
had received telegram from home an
nouncing family sickness, and that he was
expected to leave on the first train. The
colonel took out map and saw that the
price of a ticket to the point of destination
was about $1.65.> He handed the editor
two dollar bill. explaining that he had no
blanks As the editor left the colonel
thought of him in every way except the
complimentary way, and hoped he would
never look on the mans face again.
Two years later bill was before the leg
islature of Missouri in which the colonel
had an interest He was there to put the
measure through. In casting about for
assistance he came upon the country edi-
tor whom he had favored and asked him il
he could be of any service. The editor
turned n,tand through his influence the
measure was passed. SIT was lesson to

"It taught me to never despise the day of

A Petriaed Monster.

While workmen were digging near the
hillside above McKeesport Saturday they
struck at depth of twenty-five feet PEI
culiar looking body that had been I'M
earthed by the blasting of the rock. 1t at
first resembled vein Of dark clay or shale,
but on close examination it was found
that it was covered with scales. The in
terest of the workmen was aroused, and by
careful digging they finally unearthed a
stone body twenty-eight feet long and
tapering at both ends A close examina-
ton showed it was that of an enormous
reptile that had become petrified.
The tail end was first found, and twenty
five feet of it have been taken out, but the
head is yet imbedded in the rock. The fos-
sill rested in fissure in the solid rock, and
about it were also discovered dead leaves.
The remains have been seen by a number
of responsible people, who will take care of
them for further examination
This find recalls the famous McKeesport
snake that had been seen in the vicinity
many years ago, and which was described
by those who had seen it as being over
twenty-five feet long. The snake was last
seen about twenty-five years ago, and there
are people still living here who say they
have seen it. There is no doubt the body
Just found was that of an enormous snake
and it is thought to have been the same as
| the one which created such fears years ago

Nothing seems 70 burn into the mem
ory and heart Of a child as IN undeserved
punishment, however trifing the mat
ter may seem to the adult inhicter. In
some children OF the sunny, hopeful
type the wave Of indignation and help
les, unspoken protest against unjust
correction passes away, and leaves ap-
parently no trace. To other children,
with more sensitive natures or more re-
bellious dispositions, unjust words of TO
proof hndle fires Of rage, which smoul-
der with sullen persistence under the
ashes OF seeming forgetfulness, ready to
burst out violently and Unexpectedly. II
this seems an oyerdrawn picture one has
only to think backward at ones own
chilish days, and to recall the time when
careless treatment by an elder first
taught us to be bitter. unforgiving, re-
sentfuL.
A child's sense of justice is as keen as
his heart is tender, and this is one Of the
qualities most necessary to a noble char
scter; a quality that must be blended
with truth and honor and self-sacrifce
to give the right balance to dispositions
which would otherwise work harm. A
child's justice is always tempered with
mercy TO those he loves, and when in the
home he is justly and tenderly dealt
with he learns little by little that higher
sense of justice toward all with whom
he comes in contact. When his own
small rights are carelessly and continu-
ally thrust aside, he, too, learns to play
the brigand, to invent devices to achieve
the might which he has learned makes
right. .-Harpers Bazar.

An Old Saving Not 1ndorsed.

It is singular how the copybook texts of
our childhood do occasionally get severe
contradiction in after years. For instance,
on Monday was obliged to spend an hour
or more in the office and company of one
of the most successful business men in De-
troit. "Order is Heavens first law" came
into my mind the instant I glanced over
his desk and around the room. The desk
was litter of penholders and pens, ink
scrapers, pencils, cards, paper weights,
mucilage BOTTLES, spools of tape, seals, a
milestone, pair OF scissors, letters and
contracts filed and not filed, old and new
calendars, blotting pads and SO on. The
office looked as though it had not been
busted or swept in month, and yet check
books and files filed with bonds and mort
cages told that the man was successful in
a business way. What has this to do with
heavenf Why the man in question is a
very prominent member Of a very promi-
nent church. Detroit Free Press.

parrot in a Havana bird store. The price
