IfYou Want a kiss.

Dr. Mary Walker in Boston Globe.
There's jolly fresh proverb
THAT is pretty much like this:
That man is half in heaven
When lac has a Womau's kiss.
But there danger in delaying,
And the sweetness may forsake it;
So l tell you, bashful lover,
If you want u kiss, why, take it.
Never let another fellow
Steal d march on YOU in this;
Never let a laughing maiden
See YOU spelling for q kiss.
There's royal way OF kissing.
And the jolly ones who make it
Have Il motto that is winning
II you want a kiss, why, take it.
Any fool may face a cannon,
Anybody wear crown,
But Il man must win a woman
If he'd have her for his own.
Would you have the golden apple
You must find the tree and shake it ;
If the thing is worth the having,
And you want kiss, why, take it.
Who would burn upon a desert,
With forest smiling by?
Who would give this sunny weather
For a black and Wintry sky?
Oh, tell you, there is magic.
And You cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is TO want kiss and take il.

How Grace Scored.

The Chicago Herald prints the following
story, which win anuse crcketers and
others: w G. Grace the noted English
crtcketer, was the only opposing player
to score a run against the American ball
players on their trip around the world
Grace went to Mark BALDWIN who was to
pitch, and expressed an earnest desire to
make a run. Baldwin consented TO aid
the cricketer. Mark tells the story as
follows: 1 asked him what kind of a ball
he could hit, high or a low one. He
said If / pitched a straight ball he didn't
mind about the hight told him to look
out for a nice. straight ball. and if he got
to first base to watch me and I would
giVe him a sign to start for second.
e He made a clean hit over short-stop's
head, and ] gave him the sign and off he
started for second. 1 pretended not to see
him, and old Arson was yelling Ike a
mailman at me, telling me that l had bet
ter so to bed and take a rest. The old
man wasn't on, YOU know. l turned in
and called Arson down for not signing me
to throw. After Mr., Grace had been rested
a second, he was according to my sign
playing off the base ana wheeled around
to nab him, and threw the ball clean over
the center felders head. The champion
cr.cketer ambled home. amid cheers. and
at the banquet that evening the feat of
Grace was d feature of all the speeches
Arson did not know how that run was
made until months after

Lynehings in 1894.

The Chicago Tribune. a journal that
apparently finds pleasure in delving into
gfewsome mortuary statistics. and keep
ing tab on crime. vouchsafes the infor-
nation. and gives figures 10 back the state
ment. that there were fewer Iynchings
during last year than during the year
preceding. This IS somewhat striking, IN
view OF the fact the last year was one Of
great depression. many murders. great
entertainments. etc. The number Of muir
ders showed big Increase. from G.615 in
1898 10 $50 in 1s9Ethe increase being
nearly % per cent. The sum total OF en-
bezziemeRts is estimated az So 10000.
being a sum % per cent. larger than had
been "misappropriated" in any single
year for period Of fifteen years.
While all Of this killing ana stealing
was going on last year. Judge Lynch
brought 10 an accounting ten persons
less than the number he reckoned with
the year before. Stated in cold figures. the
lynchiugs in 1891 numbered lso. against
~ in 1888. Running a few years back. it
is seen that there were fewer lynchings in
1894 than during any twelve months for
four years. The number in 1891 was 1872.
and in lsee il was 2i5. II thus appears
that the Improvement in public sentiment
with regard TO the extra-legal method
Of furnishing criminals is marked. The
courts were permitted to dispose OF a far
greater percentage Of capital cases than
they were the year before.
OF the 100 persons lynched, 1874 were
blacks and 50 We're white. The crime which
led to the greatest number Of lynchings
was assault upon women. Murder and
arson also contributed TO swell the total.
The number lynched in the south was 1866.
and in the north a Taking the relative
proportions Of colored people in the popu-
lation in the two sections. IL will be seen
that the north lynched relatively as many
blacks as did the south. Indeed, If the
population of the states in which the
lynchings occurred. and not the population
Of the sections, be taken as "A basis for
the calculation. it would probably be found
that a greater percentage Of blacks were
lynched in the north than in the south.
That, however. makes no difference in the
matter considered as a whole and upon
the whole showing that lynchings have
dropped Off.
Georgia stands charged with the greatest
number Of lynchings in 1894. having twenty
booked aginst her Kentucky and Ala
bama come next in the dark record, with
nineteen each. Mississippi was guilty Of
sixteen lynchings. Tennessee and Louisi-
ana lynched fifteen each; Texas record is
twelve, Arkansas ten. Florida's and Viz
ginias seten each. oklahoma led the
other group of states with eleven lynch
ings.
The record is presumably approximately
correct. 1t is still dark. but il gives prom
Use of daylight. The decrease in lynch
ing set in two years ago, and during that
time has been considerable. The press
all over the country Is laboring faithfully
TO create "A public sentiment that will
crush lynch law and establish courts Of
justice upon the ruins.

Mr.. Puttarbv,s Pumpkin.

about the village at a cent apiece Mr..
Putterby, after examining them, thought
he would invest, but half a pumpkin was

There are three women members of the
Colorado legislature. When they were
elected there was some question as to
whether they would wear their hats dur
ing the sessions or leave them in the cloak
rooms. That, however. has been settled.
The three women held a caucus, and 1t
was decided to be the sense of the caucus
TO take off the hats. Sensible caucus!
Women may wear hats in theaters and in
church with impunity. No political IA
vors are to be expected in such places
and the hat-wearers can defy annoyed
mankind. In the legislature there is a
difference. A big hat in the hall of rep
resentatives might lose votes for its
wearer's pet scheme. 1t is no argument
In favor of hat-wearng in public places
to say that the members of the parlia-
ment of England habitually wear their
hats in sessions. There are lots of Euro
pean customs that would never do in this
country.

Horsefiesh as Food.

What are we going to do with the sur
plus Of horses that is being raised
throughout the country? That is a Ques-
ton that is beginning TO attract atten-
ton The demand for horses has fallen
off wonderfully since the introduction Of
electricity as "A motive power. and yet
the raising of horses has not been
checked.
Shall we eat horsehesh? A good many
people say yes. Horseiesh is cheap and
it is said to be wholesome and savory.
1t is a very common article of food in
France. In Paris it is offered in the mar
kets as freely as beef. Within the last
year or two a great many horses have
been slaughtered for their flesh at Ham
mond, Ind. The most of the product is
shipped abroad. but some of it is con-
sumed in this country.
A day or two ago James u. Hopkins. a
veterinary surgeon Of Newark. n. J.,
gave a dinner to $50 invited guests at
which horsehesh was served in many diff
ferent styles. The most of the guests
were satisfied that it was only a ques-
ton of time when horsefesh would come
into general use as an article of food.
The stomachs of few of them revoIted
at the thought of eating the flesh of a
horse. but they confessed there was moth
ing Objectionable in the taste or smell of
the meat. 1t is sweeter than beef.
The fact is a horse is a much more
dainty animal in respect TO its food than
a hog. and the diseases to which a horse
is subject which can be communicated TO
man by eating its flesh are very rare, and
good horse meat is much more valuable
as food than poor beef or pork.
In the west, at the present time, horses
! are so cheap that many are killed for
/ their hides. 1t doesn't pay to feed them.
/ If their flesh is wholesome and nutritious
/ why not eat it? 1t is true that the
/ thought of eating horsefesh is not alto
/ gether pleasant one, but is not that be-
/ cause We are not accustomed to think OF
a horse as food supplying animal? But
/ If horsefesh were to come into general
! use we would soon get rid of unpleasant
/ thoughts in connection with it.

No appreciable vacancy in the ranks
OF the press of Georgia will be created by
the dropping out of the popuIist daily.
1t never attracted much attention in its
palmiest days. and it was against reason
to expect it to- serve any good purpose
The suspension of the paper at this juno
ture, however. is significant of the drift
Of public sentiment. Is it reasonable to
suppose there would have been a suspen-
sion if there had been a great gain in
populist numbers in the state, as has
been claimed? Would Mr.. Tom Watson
have allowed the suspension prior to the
election in the Tenth district if there had
been any prospects for the success of
the party, the paper or Mr.. Tom Watson?
AT the county elections the other day the
populist party received a crushing blow;
Mr.. Watson probably foresees the same
kind of thing will occur in the Tenth dis
tr.ct. and hence is disheartened. The
death of the populist daily is merely an
incident in the decline Of the party If
the paper is revived. the probabilities
are that it VIII be under republican au-
spices.
