A NEW DANGER TO YOUNG ME~.

A young lady in St, Joseph, Mo, net
a young farmer on the street the other
day and took him in her arms and kissed
him before he knew what was going on.
She said in relation 70 the affair:
~ never saw the young man before,
and | knew he was a stranger b fore
kissed him; b It couldn't help 1t. When
| turned around my ewes met his, and
he looked So coed, 50 NJ be, ard 50 irae,
that | wanted TO kiss him. | didn't
think; there wasn't 10 time to think
only knew that | had met "A real mar.
and | wasp't sure that | would see au-
other one
1t may be true in Missouri that it is so
rare for young woman to meet "a real
man" she must kiss him instanter for
fear Of not seeing another one" No
such condition prevails in North Caro-
lima, and the young woman Who cannot
restrain herself from embracing "a real
man" would have her hands and arms
full here.
There may have been method ia this
woman's madness. Is is 50 seldom that
a young man is declared to look 80
good, noble, ard SO true" that she may
hare counted on her warm praise, sec
ondyd by sweet kiss, to inspire 2 love
that would lead to marriage. L may be
that this is the impulsive way the new
woman will take to propose. Ii so, the
young men had better wear the protectors

The Suwauce River famous from the

of the streams dear to all lovers of ten

wit and talent have found abundant re

the most charming of men, has given his
new novel a catchy titlc-a thing that is
sometimes the best part about a new

pleasant introduction to a delightful

tender pathos, and real humor. The

PEOPLES MONEY WASTED
Thousands Expended by the Gov
ernment in Useless Experiments.
An Instance Given as Showing the Use
Made Of 100000 by the Treas-
ury Department..

Few people realize how much money is
practically wasted by the goyernmen {
through appropriation for projects which
are OF no general value, or which, through
failure to carry out the original intention
OF the measure, are rendered worthless.
Thousands of dollars are expended upon
experimental work which, by reason of
the fact that the work Is never carried
TO successful issue is OF no utility. A
member OF Congress will often secure an
appropriation for a survey or for some
experimental work and, before the COM
petion OF the scheme, will be defeated
for reelection.
The new Congressman will probably not
look with particular favor upon the project
iDaugurated by his predecessor and take
no interest in 1t. The result is that what
has already been accomplished will be
rendered yalueless because OF lack OF
funds to complete the work.
Several years ago the United States
government appropriated SlO0, 900 TO con-
duct series Of experiments at Pitts burg
on boiler explosions ana their causes. This
appropriation was made principally be-
cause about that time number OF serious
accidents had happened through defective
boilers, and while the project was fresh
in the public mind everybody was anxious
to have an effort made TO ascertain the
exact cause OF these explosions in order
that some method might be adopted 10
avoid them in the future.
commission of expert engineers, with a
weli-kDown scientist from Cornell in charge
was appointed TO carry out the provisions
OF the act of Congress. An exhaustive Sc
ries of experiments was conducted and much
valuable Information secured.
vollminous report was prepared by the
Coruell professor, In which the causes OF
the greater number OF explosions of boilers
were set forth and the best means given TO
avoid them. By the time the report was
completed the subject had dropped from the
public mind, and it attracted little or no
attention.
: A few weeks ago the terrible catastrophe
In the Journal building at Detroit, owing
to the explosion OF the boilers, again brought
this subject to the attention of the public
and it was remembered that the experiments
had been conducted at Pittsburg three
years previously to discover just how such
accidents could be avoided.
Thinking that this report might be of in
terest, a call was made at the Treasury De-
partment for copy. 1t was learned that
The report had never been printed, and that
the Cornell professor, when he wrote 1t out
simply made few copies. One OF these had
been given to the supervising inspector gem
eral of steam vessels, and the others the
professor had probably kept for his own
use. The inspector general had misplaced
his copy of the report.
The Treasury Department was out Just
$780, 900, for which the people had received
not 500 worth of benefit. Had the report
been printed. SO that the people interested
might be able TO gain the advantage of the
experiments made, the money would have
been profitably expended.
