KISSING AT THE GATE.

A Brief but Adequate Dissertation
on That Interesting Topic.
Kissing girl at the gate would seem
to involve the most complex artifces
but, as we are told, it all depends
In the first place it makes much diff
ference whether the kisscr and the
kissee are together on one side of the
gate or are separated by that awkward,
teasing continuance. In the second
place. the temper Of tha llissee makes
all the difference in the world; if she
be unkind, no amount Of opportunity
shall move her. and surely no courtly
and brave suitor will seek to obtain
by force that which his sweetheart de-
MES meaning it,
Yet, as the true angler loves best
that prey for which he has to angle
longest and most cautiously, and as all
humanity prizes most highly that which
is secured by the severest exerticn,
so the lover finds exceeding satisfaction
in the OSCILLATION snatched from the
pouting, Gliding lips Of his half-resist-
ing sweetheart 1t is this delicious
strife to which the Atlanta poet al
ludes so delicately-a strife composed
of gentle protestations, smothered ex-
postulations, earnest pleadings, flut-
tiers of creamy lace, deraged necktie,
glances that give the lie to the utter
ances of saucy lips-yes, and thousand
other dear, delightful ingredients Of
which the summum bonum is L labial
crepitation which signifeth the capitu-
lation of the citadel and the rapture
Of the victorious besieger. -Chicago

The visitor produced Il somewhat bat

Packing Trunks for q Living.

What is really sensible occupation
that could be managed from the wom-
ems exchanges would be that of trunk
packer, says the Philadelphia Times.
In these days of widespread summer
travel, packing has come to be 4 dread
cd necessity with women. The differ
ence between skilled and unskilled
trunk storing cannot be fully appreciat-
ed until the two are compared. There
is an economy in it that is obvious.
1t means fewer trunks, less destruc-
ton to contents, and, above all, the
blissful relief to bodies and brains
taxed to the last degree in leaving Il
house in deserted summer trim. putting
finishing touches to the family ward
robe, looking after the comfort of those
to be left. and all tho rest. There was
Il woman who wrapped {; silk dress
skirt last summer around Il jar Of
grandma's preserves, which she could
not risk attempting to bring home with
her. who would better have employed
a professional packer at 81 trunk.
The cleaners bill was 81, and She lost
the preserves, too. The occupation
would not be SO laborious to the pro-
fcssional packer as it is to the anna
tcur. The confidence Of knowledge is a
great relief in itself, and the "profcs-
sionar' would insist upon the trunk be-
ing set upon rest and all it's intended
contents spread cut before her, serious
helps to packing which the woman try
ing to be in half dozen places at once
on packing day often ignores. Mean
time, If you must pack your own trunks
dear sister, spike your hats and bonnets
to the trunk tray with hat pins, dis
card boxes. pack bottles only in cork
lined cases that come for the purpose,
carrying them in separate bag other
wise and don't pack on a damp day
near the window or you'll find your
beautifully starchcd muslins and linens
limp as a rag when they are taken
out

Made a Famous Record.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Gus. Zim-
mermann, New Works champion
sharpshooter, who has been doing
some remarkable shooting abroad,
is expected to leave Berlin today
on his way home, where a great re-
ception awaits him. Zimmerman
has added many laurels to his for
mer victories, and he gained a
national reputation by making
some wonderful records in rifle
shooting. He has been deserved
ly crowned the "SchuetZen King"
The first tournament in
which Zimmerman took part
was at Mainz, Germany,
where the international shoot
of Schuetzen was held in June. He
carried away altogether twenty
five prizes. He took one Of the
head prizes in the quick firing
target, and scored in the field and
stand target shooting. On the
champion ring target, at 1000 feet
distance, Zimmerman broke all
previous records by scoring 80
out of a possible 60 points. He re-
ceived many honors in the city of
Malnz and rode at the head Of the
big Schuetzen parade in a carriage
decorated with American flags.
When the prizes were distributed
10000 persons cheered wildly for
Tim mermann, the seduction
King.n At Frankfort-on-the-Main
Gus made the highest score on
record in ring target shooting at
600 feet. He defeated the crack
shots there and won a
number of prizes. In Luz
cerne, Switzerland, he won the first
gold medal and several other
prizes, and at Lyons, France, he
again distinguished himself. He
carried away the first prize in 80.
shot contest, and also won a
large gold medal and three silver
ones. Zimmerman developed re-
markable craftsmanship in the
shooting tournament at Lyons. In
a 50.shot contest at 1000 feet dis
lance he scored 80 out Of a possible
30 points, making a record never
before equalled either in this coun-
try or in Europe. When thinner
mann arrives home he will receive
a great reception from the New
York Independent Schuetzen. He
will have about seventy-tive new
trophies to add to his already large
collection.

Kolb Begins His Fight.

that the majorities reported

Oates for governor were "false and
fraudulent denouncing the law
under which the election was con-
Quoted as having been framed
with the purpose of DISTINGUISHING
illiterate voters and to assure the
preparation Of greater frauds
in the black-belt counties. The
addresses further declared that the
conditions in the state have
reached a climax; that Kolb has
been elected, and there is an al
formative of submitting to wrong
or asserting "the sovereign power
before which thrones totter and
sceptres cease" The committee
therefore advised that meetings
be held at the respective court
houses today where the people
shall give expression to their
"manhood, patriotism and love of
liberty"

A MALICIOUS CHARGE.
Absolutely Without Foundation in
Fact, and Slander Upon
San Antonio.

Fact, and Slander Upon
San Antonio.
The Galveston News, in its issue
of the 22nd inst, has the following
editorial anent the late street car
strike in this city:
"The municipal authorities of
San Antonio, when called upon by
the president of the belabored street
car company whose cars were OBJ
structed and whose employees were
being mercilessly and openly as
saulted, for protection for the cars
and the new men, stated that they
were unable to furnish such pro-
lection. While refusing to protect
the cars and the men, thus to en-
able them to run regularly and
safely, this same municipality re-
sorted to special meeting of
aldermen, at which a resolution
was adopted providing that street
car company must run its cars
every twenty minutes, according
to the ordinance under which the
franchise is granted, and that if
the resolution is not Obeyed the
city attorney shall take immedi-
ate steps forward having the fran
chise of the railway company for
feite.d' If the good people of San
Antonio really desire further in
vestments of capital for their
beautiful city they should pro-
coed at once to haul down its Off
cial danger lights. Such officials
are more harmful and dangerous
than the strikers themselves.
Their conduct in this instance is
an advertisement for investors to
stay out or get out"
So far from the above critique
being true, it is a gross mIsstate-
ment of facts, rejecting unjustly
upon the city and doing so as I'M
necessarily as unjustly. So far from
the facts being as stated by the
News the direct opposite was the
situation. The mayors proclama-
ton is in evidence and the resolu-
tions of the labor orders, condemn
ing the acts of the mayor in thus
interposing for the protection OF
the road and it's property and en-
ployes, which would be utterly
meaningless were the facts as set
forth by the News.
1t is we'll known that the Calves
ton News is the persistent defender
of corporate greed and inhumanity,
but in pursuing it's chosen work it
is not necessary to attempt to dis
credit the security and civilization
of sister city. Fortunately it is
only an attempt, as the established
reputation Of this city as the most
law abiding Of any of its size in the
south is not to be easily discredited.
There is no danger of the News be-
ing accepted as authority against
San Antonio within the limits of
Texas, but outside Of the state
where the facts are not known it
might, hence this statement.
