PROGRESSIVE KISSING.
Mrs. Ella Wheeler wilcox Describes
Three Degrees of Circulation,

The accumulated knowledge of ages
is sometimes revealed in a kiss; and
one might add that where wisdom Is
bliss 1t is folly to be ignorant.
Never to have been kissed is never to
have fully lived. Perhaps it is secret,
consciousness of this which renders the
unkissed women of earth so bitter in
their deDunciations of the love enlight-
ened-just as the very poor denounce the
very rich as enemies to the world. $
The kiss is not all sweet. 1t contains
the sting aswell as the honey of the bee.
Loves favorite pastime is the pro-
gressive kiss.
When man wooes woman he usual
ly begins his demonstrations by kissing
her gloyed hand-an innocent enough
act surely.
But it does not long satisfy him! The
glove is in the way, and he longs to
press his lips to her soft fesh-the
white fingers first-then the pink palm,
and the blue-veined wrist.
She bushes little at this and draws
her hand away, yet. surely, it is not
very wrong, she thinks.
just one little touch of his lips to It's
velvet surface-no more! Such a tiny
favor to ask? And if one cheek is ca
ressed, why not the other? IT is unfair
to show favoritism. Crossing from the
left cheek to the right, leads directly
over loves own domain--the lips. the
home of kisses.
After woman has given her lips to
man she becomes either a great deal
or nothing to him. Unless she is
thorough woman of the world or a great
reader of human nature she can never
be sure which result will ensue. II de-
pends upon the man. the situation and
the kiss. He may adore her or despise
her; believe in her, or distrust her;
cling to her always, or leave her for
ever.
Marriages are made, and missed. by
the kiss. II is the lasso which leads
some men to the altar. and it is the
blade which sewers the tie uniting 9TH
ers to their lady loves.
Therefore, the game of the progress
sive kiss is the most perilous of pas
times for any save the woman on the
eve of her marriage, to indulge in.
There is a subtle psychological Diff
ference in the temperament of man and
woman, which underlies the danger. lie
does not turn from her lips with the
same sentiment with which she turns
from his after the kiss is exchanged.
She is excited by her emotions; he is
only irritated. To her 1t is an epoch,
the first ardent kiss she has known. To
him ii is merely the latest IF she has
known others, she has the art of for
getting them utterly and believing the
experience to be new and this man diff
ferent from all others. But he. on the
contrary. classes her with a lot Of
other women he has kissed. Until she
gave him her lips she seemed apart
from and above them.
1t is wiser to be remembered as the
one woman a man wishes he could
have kissed than to be forgotten among
those he has caressed.-E Wheeler
Wilcox. in n. Y. Journal

A naturalist pointed out the reason
for trees growing in their irregular
shapes. Their irregularity serves a
most important purpose. When a gale
is blowing the branches will be seen
to sway in al directions, and their
movements tend to balance the tree.
Were they TO sway in the same direction
the tree would be uprooted or broken

Want TO Break Away

WASHINGTON, Nov. o. According to
a reliable authority no less than 10000
applications for discharge from the
army have been received at the war de-
partment within the last month and
they are still coming in. Comparative
ly few men have been discharged and
those who succeed have congressional
or other influence behind them. De-
partment officials are going slow in this
matter, as it is by no meansa sure thing
that the war is over. The men, how
ever, believe that it is and in their ap-
pllcaiions for discharge they assert that
they enlisted only fer the war with
Spain and that it IS time they were re-
lieved from duty.

principle that one good turn deserves an

more important than the cngagement OF

These are not the opinions OF obstruc-

Events are marching rapidly. Tendencies
are operating quickly, II silently. An al
lance should not come with any forcing
process, but should be a natural and spon
tancous growth. We already have a state
of international amitv which inspires each
country with sincere desire 10 help the

that is n great gain for civilization. Let

the prestige Of France has been greatly
