q period in which many dangerous

Watch indications, wherever you be,
they show the approach of storms to

KISSED "a REAL Nashville
William Houston, g young farmer,
was walking in st. Joseph, Mo-, re-
Gently, he met a number OF fashiopably
dressed young ladies. One of them
turned suddenly, shook hands with
him and kissed him. The young lady
was Miss Eva Dunbar, daughter OF
wealthy parents and well known in
society.
AS soon as she had kissed Houston
she became much confused and ran
into a millinery store, where she
laughed and cried Historically. Her
friends supposed that she had mistaken
the young man forsome intimate friend
or relative, and that her confusion was
due to the discovery of her mistake.
They we're more than astonished when
Miss Dunbar became composed enough
to make an explanation.
III never saw the young man BEFORE"
she said, land knew he was q stranger
before 1 kissed him. but 1 couldn't help
it. When I turned around my eyes
met his, and he looked so good, so
noble and so true, that l wanted to
kiss him. 1 didn't think there wasn't
time to think. I only knew that I had
met q real man, and I wasn't SURF that
I would ever see another one.n
Houston is the owner of q fine farm
and sometimes practices law. He is
almost perfect physically, and is con-
sidered very handsome.
