kissing on the Mouth.

In high life nobody is kissed on the
mouth It is bad form and bad hy-
giene. And in these days when it is
crime to be old, and every woman
over Is makes up with glycerine and
rice powder, kiss anywhere on the
face is a positive annoyance. Every
man of the world knows this. That's
why he kisses his wife's back hair
and his daughters back Of the ear.
And that's why the women scent their
scalps and brush the essence through
and through the hair until 1t is fluffy
and fragrant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The Car
Isle currency bill now before the
house will be withdrawn and SUBJ
.titute presented. This decision was
reached after n caucus of democratic
members of the banking and curren-
cy committee was held quietly last
night. followed by a conference be-
tween Carlisle and Springer, today.
The substitute is already drawn and
will be offered by Springer today or
tomorrow. 1t differs very materially
from the original bill.
Two very important new features
in the substitute will allow a
national banking system to run
along without arbitrary provis-
.ons. Banks must organize under
the new system. The theory is
that they will soon discover the ad-
yantages OF the new system and
adopt it Of their own accord. An.
other important change is the doing

TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 2l.-The body of
Mrs. A. ID. Matson, stiff and cold, and ly-
ing in pool of her own blood, was dis
covered in her home at Fifteenth and
Monroe streets yesterday afternoon. To- all
appearances the woman had been dead
about ten days. 1t is undoubtedly q case
OF cold-blooded murder, with robbery as
the incentive. Mrs. Matson lived alone,
and it was generally supposed that she
had considerable money about the house.
A criminal assault had preceded the horri-
BILE murder. The only person who seems
TO know anything about it is deaf and
dumb colored man named George Knight,
who saw two men, probably on the even
ing of the 9Th, enter the window Of the
murdered woman's house, and afterwards
saw them run away.
