1t was warm, moonlight night when
the freflies ever and anon were swing.
ing their lamps athwart the bosky dells.
They, the young people referred to in
the following lines, were sitting on q
park bench in a secluded part of the
grounds.
~ do not believe you really love your
pot" she said in pleadingly inquirinG
tone Of voice. Her head rested on his
shoulder and her face was sweetly up
turned to his. Fiercely pressing half
dozen kisseVon her lips he then paused,
and, catching his breath, said: at is
you. fear, who does not love your
darling"
She sought to allay his doubts by re-
turning the halt-dozen kisses he had
given her, and whom her brain had
come out Of its ecstatic trance sho re-
marked: Then you really, truly love
me?"
He answered this question with full
dozen kisses, supplemented by the
words, ~ swear it."
This made her feel go happy that she
kissed him something like a score Of
times, after which she asked still an.
other question:: do you love me more
than any one else?"
The score keeper lost track OF the
number OF kisses he bestowed upon her
lips before pausing to say, eyes, | love
you thousand times more than do
anyone else"
Letting her soultuI,y epes gaze deeply
into his own she whispered, "Oh, do
you darling; then why don't you kiss
me?"
He did so.

Judge Buckner, Of Baton Rouge,
some time ago had Colonel John G.
Wickliffe, editor of the New Delta,
indicted for criminal libel, and the
colonel was tried in Buckner's court
and promptly acquitted. His wound
ed honor however is not appeased
and has sued the owners of the New
Delta for $4,000, in the civil district
court of New Orleans. The charge
of libel grows out of certain state
ments made by Col. Wickliffe, in an
article written by him appearing in
the Forum and subsequent editorials
in the New Delta. It's dollars to
dough nuts the judge will be left
with bag to hold.
