Her Gifted Daughter.

Not long ago a woman who had be-
come suddenly rich went to the town
nearest her home to do some shopping.
She had heard much about souvenir
spoons and proposed to buy some. She
asked for dozen in one of the leading
jewelry stores.
"A dozen souvenir spoons?" repeated
the shopman, in surprise. "Er, what
kind of spoons did you say?"
Maybe you don't know me-" she said,
noting his surprise, and thinking it was
occasioned by the size of her proposed
purchase, she added: 81 am Mrs. Sud-
dens, of the old Manor house. Yes, l
want a dozen souvenir spoons, to eat
souvenirs with, you know. Ny daugh-
ter makes beautiful ouvenirsl''-Lon-

THE HISTORY OF KISSING.
A Form of SaIutation Limited to a Few
Races.

Races.
"'Tis certain said Dick Steele of
kissing, mature was it's author, and
that it began with the first courtship."
But this is incorrect. IT'S certain that
TO many human tribes kissing is I'M
known. Instead of saying 'kiss me-"
they say smell me-" and this, doubt
less, represents an earlier form of salu-
tation. The kiss is much later than the
dance. 1t is still unknown among many
races, and may be called conventional.
Some nations smell and rub noses, like
horses, in salutation; and, where two
Frenchmen will run and kiss each
other, two Central Africans will dellb-
erately spit, by way of friendly greet
ing.
DR.. Tylor says: 1.-THE idea of the kiss
being an instructive gesture is neg
atived by its being unknown over half
the world, where the prevailing salute
is that by smelling or shifting, which be-
longs to Polynesians, Malays, Burmese
and other Indo-Chinese, Mongols, etc,
extending thence to the EsquimauX,
and westward to Lapland, where Lin
naeus saw relatives saluting by putting
their noses together"
The kiss is the salute by tasting, and
it has to be taught to children. Preyer,
in his excellent book, "The Mind of the
Child" states that first they are averse
to, and even fearful of, the perform
ance. However this may be, it is GER
tain that Europeans speedily take to it
as though to the manner born. Oscula-
tons were far more common in the
good old times than at present. The
custom which most delighted Erasmus
when in England was that the girls all
kissed him.
When ceasing to be performed, some
of these ceremonies leave their trace in
language. Thus both Austrians and
Spaniards say: 81 kiss your hands" as
Il polite term for returning thanks.
John Bunyan was a very different man
from Erasmus, and in his "Grace
Astounding" he says: ''The common
salutation of women l abhor; it is
odious to me in whatsoever l see it,
And to those who defended it as the
holy kiss he pertinently asked: "Why
did they salute the most handsome and
let the ill-favored go?"-London Tit
Pits.

Charming Entertainment.

On Friday evening the second of a
series of entertainments to be given by

Better Freight Yards at the B. g. o.

After the reorganization of the B.
& o. is effected, our merchants should
take such steps as will enable them to
secure better freight accommodations
for this city at the B. & o. freight
yards. For years there has been just
complaint about the poor facilities for
loading and unloading freight at the
b. & o. We do not wish to embarrass
the company or force them into COM
plying with reasonable demands,
especially after they have just given us
such comfortable station at Washing
ton Junction and fitted up our home
station with so many comforts and
conveniences. The trade of Frederick,
however, is something to consider,
and those who take such pains to pat
ronize the road should at least have
the facilities for loading and unloading
their goods. In time we hope to start
this important movement.

Burglars made their regular semi
weekly visit to the house of George
NJ. Eagle last night il the absence of the
family and secured Mrs. Eagles gold
watch, two brooches, two sets of solid sill
yer knives and forks and $1.75 in money.
At about 1920 o'clock Mrs. Eagle
and Miss Laura Lusk, who has a
room at the house, came home
and entered the front door.
The ball light was burning, and passing
into the dining room Mrs. Eagle noticed
that the south window of the dining
room was OPEN This alarmed her, and
almost Immediately she heard footsteps
up stairs.
The burglar was coming down stairs.
and the two women rushed to the hall
Airs. Eagle called police" as loudly as
she could and ran to the front door,
which was just ajar.
As the burglar came down the stairs
he turned his face away SO Mrs Eagle
could not see him and completed the de-
scent sideways.
"I've found you this time" said Mrs
Eagle, and tried 10 get look at the fell
lows face. Instead of trying to get out
of the front door, the fellow turned and
dashed past Miss LGsk in the hall into
the dining room and out through the
open window.
The police were summoned and Ser
geant Donovan came. Mrs. Eagle said
last night that the man was colored but
that he had very regular features for a
colored man and that his nose was very
much more like white persons.
During the night Sergeant Donovan
arrested three different colored men and
took them to Mrs. Eagle and Miss Lusk
but in each instance they were not iden-
titled and were allowed to go.
Miss Lusk thinks she would.know the
man ii she should see him again.
The police incline to the opinion that
it was white man, with his skin black
ened for the occasion a disguise.
This is the second time the Eagle house
had been robbed within fifty hours, the
first robbery occurring early Friday even
ing.

In this age of prosaic active business
life, it sometimes seems as though there
were not room for any real romance or
| tender thoughtfulness to creep in. All
is hustle and worry. There is continual
talk of how best to obtain the nimble
! dollar, and the sentiment is often lett
in the 1urch, overgroWn by the moss
and lichens of ambition and the desire
for worldly prosperity. OF course we
are sufficiently womanly and human to
appreciate the dainty, luxurious IF
roundings that money brings, we
believe we voice all women's tt ghts
when we declare that we wouE ather
have fewer handsome clothes, less i'm
; preSsive furniture in our homes, ana
fve-cent trolley rides instead OF DISK
spins behind blooded steeds if love and
sentiment were brought to bear lit
tie more strongly upon our daily lives
The anniversaries OF births or Oh
weddings are allowed all too frequently
to pass by unheeded, the father or hus-
band actually not knowing that the all
important date from a woman's stand
point is any different from others that
mark only the rise or fall of certain
stocks in which he is interested. If
but, oh! there looms up such a gulf of
word of two letters-if men could only
be made to understand that a bunch of
flowers given in remembrance of a
birthday or wedding anniversary
means more to a woman than a seal
skin coat or a diamond pendant, be-
slowed when business is particularly
flourishing, then. perhaps, they would
try right hard to acquire what seems
absolutely unnatural to them and as
sumo a virtue, though they possess it
not.
To a woman there is SO much in the
memory of the past. She dwells upon
it, lives in it, and wonders why it does
not appeal so utterly and entirely to
her husband or lover as it does to her.
We women are really very silly about
some things, but it is our nature to
cherish sweet recollections and to feel
touched by the thoughtfulness that
plans some little festivity on the ami
versary of an occasion which has
marked an epoch in our lives. We do
not demand much. No great gifts are
envied, no marvellous entertainment de-
sired, but a gift breathing forth the
sentiment with which we are filled, no
matter how humble it may be, seems
sweeter to US than the royal bestowal
of kings or queens. If we could but
whisper this secret to the great world of
married men, who, though welded, do
not understand women, we would do
more toward bringing happiness into
domestic life than will ever be accom-
plished by crusades or public move
ments of any sort

Time and Incompetent Survey
ors Obliterate Lines
SAYS SURVEYORREGAN
Matter Will be Referred to
Congressman Blue.
Other Kansas News of General
Interest.

WYANDoTTE. Jan. 20-The board OF
county commissioners have just received
the startling information from County
tween Missouri and Kansas is too far
west by half mile. The matter has
been referred to Congressman Blue.
Says Mr.. Regain: 1t is now more than
seventy years since (1623) the mile stones
we're first placed upon the Kansas and
Missouri state line. In 1914, when the
public land of Missouri adjacent to this
county was being sub divided. the state
| line was found in such an obliterated
condition as to necessitate resurvey of
a portion of it by the Missouri surveys rs,
before connections of the land surveys of
Missouri could be made with it. Their
east and west section lines terminate up
on the state line in corners that bear no
relation to the mile and half mile stones
of the boundary
There seems to be good reasons for
doubling that the present boundary ex-
lists in location aud direction as directed
by the law creating it. By reference to
the act of congress of NAV 20, 1920, YOU
will find the middle of the mouth of the
Kansas river is made the initial" point
and its direction is south upon true
meridian. But comparison of its north
end and its eighty-eighth mile stone
(due east from Fort ScotD with the late
surveys of the United States coast and
geodetic survey, show a difference Tor
swing westward) in the longitude of the
state line of about 80 seconds.
From the foregoing it would appear
that there is little irregt1IErity of some
kind about the boundary, and l would
suggest that an effort be made for an in
vestig cation by the United States coast
and geodetic survey ors, and if the line
far west) it is certainly open for correc-
ton. As that part of the. law making
the line meridian is as binding now as
when it was enacted The strip 2,346
feet in width may seem to some small
affair, yet the area for Bourbon county
alone would be more than 1000 acres or
equivalent to more than forty average
sized farms.

''Redness of the nose" is caused by
indigestion not intemperance The
remedy, it is stated, is to abstain from
over-indulgence in fats and sweets %
This dictum will be appreciated by
many worthy persons whose noses are
unduly rosy. For years they have been
misjudged by irreverent scoffers who
did not scruple to ascribe the nasal tint
to excessive imbibitions. Now science
comes to their relief. 1t is fats and
sweets" that make the trouble, causing
indigestion, which produces rush of
blood to the nose. Some persons given
to alcoholic stimulants do indeed have
red noses, but the redness is stomachic,
not alcoholic. The "fire-water'' may
burn out ones coppers," and thus in
directly produce the luminous probos-
els, but its owner is now in a position
to assert that it is an error to say
drinking did it. ''-Exchange.
