THEY TRIED IT AGAIN.
An Interesting Controversy About
Kissing and How Il Was Settled

Miss Elizabeth was very pecu-
liar woman. She hld a great deal
of sense Not that she was differ
ent from other women in this re-
spcct, but she had so much of it
that it surprised many young mon.
One day young Robinson went
TO call OH her. Young Robinson
was also very sensible. He and
Miss Elizabeth were well matched.
They could talk together on any
number OF subjects, and they knew
just when aud where to stop, just
what to say and what not to say.
On this particular day there was a
long story in the afternoon papers
about person known as Jack the
Klsser. who bothered many young
women and girls in the streets by
catching them aud kissing them.
Miss Elizabeth said that she did
not think that girl could be kissed
by any man unless she wanted him
to kiss her. Robinson said that
any man could kiss any woman by
brute force. Miss Elizabeth said
that that was all nonsense.
"I'll tell you what we'll do" said
Robinson. "You are certain that a
man cannot kiss woman unless
she is a party to the kissing. ! am
certain that man can. We, you
and l, will try it,
Miss Elizabeth said that she did
not see any harm in that, so Robin
son began to try to kiss her. After
several minutes and trials he sue
cecded, and she, seeing that 1t was
useless to combat with him further,
gave in aud let him kiss her all he
wanted to.
When it was all over Miss Eliza
beth has an inspiration.
"I'll tell You what Wen do, :"
said Miss Elizabeth. "My foot
slipped that time. Wen try it over
again.

"A West Virginia farmer has a
mule that when thirsty unties his
halter, pulls out pin to open the
stable door, goes to the pump, and
taking the handle in his teeth works

the trough with water. Having
quenched his thirst he returns to
