city where the company had its
headquarters, made a call on the
president and had the whole matter

whether to have apoplexy or throw

A Dilemma.

have two sweethearts-lovely girls;
The one is as berry brown,
The othet fair. with golden curls;
They live at different ends of town,
And each knows nadght of t'other she.
So hence there's been no jealous stir,
But now, alas! ah, woe is me!
Each wants sonnet writ to her.
Now, if I write of Bonny Belle,
Much Hades will Estela raise;
If on the latters charms l dwell,
I'd fear to meet my Bella's gaze.
Each swears that on next Sunday morn
Her lines must grace the tbs page,
And if the same are not thereon,
I'm threatened with burst of rage.
I'd use a nom de plume, but then
Each wants my name signed to her verse
All me! of sad and troubled men
There's none in fix than mine much worse
SO close to my heart are entwned
The both, the brown eyed and the blue
That cannot make up my mind
To give mp either of the two.
All, well, perhaps it is but meet
That should get into this fix;
A man who practices deceit
Will some day trip up at his tricks;
And as the time is nearing when
The lines are due, the best thing l
Can do is write to both, and then
To get another sweetheart try

gentleman who would not have his
name mentioned for the world has
written to inquire if there was no
other plant, spront or flower under
which it is admissible or permissi-
bic to kiss a lady. This depends.
Under proper conditions, the lady
being willing, it is permissible to
perform the rite of OSCILLATION Under
any kind of greenery or in the
absence Of any. Kissing "under
the rose" (sub rosa-in private) is
also permissible, as is shown by the
following true tale:
A rather shy young man at a
Christmas party saw other young
men kissing young women under
the mistIetoe without ruth or re-
morse, but, although he kept a
bright lookout for a chance, he
could never catch the one he was
dying to kiss within any reasonable
distance Of the mistletoe bough.
Finally, he found her alone IN
secluded place, and, there being no
mistletoe handy, he seized a rose
from vase, and, holding it over
her head with one hand, seized her
with the other, and, after a lively
tussle, succeeded in kissing her.
The noise of the scuttle attracted
the attention Of some Of the other
men, who caught him in the act
and commenced to lecture him on
the impropriety Of his conduct.
His reply was: IF you may kiss a
lady under the mistletoe, why may
not l also kiss her under the rose?"
There being gno good reason advanc-
ed, the subjected was dropped; but
the next day a local paper, men
tloning the incident, stated that the
man asked; "If you kiss her under
the mlstletoe, why may l not also
kiss her under the nose"
This caused the young man to
be joked by his friends; but, after
all, one Of the properest and most
satisfactory places to kiss a lady
is short distance below the nose.
There is whole lot of humbug
about the mistletoe racket anyway,
as it has tendency to create an
impression in the minds Of the un-
sophisticated that kissing is like
Chtistmas--in order only once a
a year-Morning Oregonian.
