One OF IA exchanges remarks thatla
man In a neighboring town 'has been
fined for squeezing q girls hand" and
then asks "what should have been done
to him IL he had held 1t and hadn't
squeezed itt"
We regret that the exchange should
have paused right on the threshold Of
a subject, the pursuit OF which might
have led a thoughtful person to a con.
conclusion Of inestimable value to man
kind. The question it asks Is one that
involves a careful consideration OF the
entire social structure Of civilization.
II cannot be ignored, evaded or an.
swcred lightly. II a man can be fined
for squeezing a girls hand, it behooves
us to determine, IL possible, what pun.
ishment, il any, should be inflicted
upon the mar who, having secured
possession Of a girls hand, let's it slip
through his fingers without squeezing
1t. Scientists agree that human afini.
ties and antipathies have their origin
10 the hands, and the contact between
the fingers Of two individuals, regard.
less OF sex, either produces warmth or
a chill. However this may be, science
has been unable to account for the ex.
istence Of the man who takes q girls
hand In his only to let 1t drop again
without bestowing upon 1t any more
sympathy than IL it were a red hot
stove or a cake Of ice; or for the man
who takes q girls hand In his and let's
IL slide through his fingers without Civ
ing 1t any more tender consideration
than IL it were a laundry bill or a pc.
litical circular; or for the man who
treats a girls hand as though it were q
piece Of brittle grass, and he were
afraid a little squeeze might break it
That there are many such men 10 every
community there can be no doubt, and
that q large percentage of them escape
the punishment they so justly deserve
10 but too true.
They 60 through lite taking the
hands Of girls In theirs and dropping
them again like hot potatoes, careless
OF the disappointment and uuhappinesI
they are strewing or all sides, and ever
take delight in the fact that their clam
my and slippery touch was permeatini
every nook and corne Of society ant
dampening the gayety Of a a nation.

follows: A Nebraska farmer carried q

enormous and prices high. He ap.
pt AIRED ut the bank shortly after har.
vsss, psilsd u, 900, and asked for q
loan Of 500 To enable him TO cancel the
mortgage note. The banker, who held
the note, urged him not to bother
about 1t, but to 60 and buy cattle with
his $4,000, feed his corn crop, and In
that way get the maximum for his pro
duct. mo, sir" replied the farmer, ~
want to paw that note now. Then when
harvest the corn crop I'm going to
pay you back that 300, aud then dc
you know what I'm going to do" and
his honest face beamed all over with
pleasure. "I'm going to buy q new

About n month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack Of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting, l
gave II such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for n physician and It
was under his care for a week. At this
time the child had been sick for about
ten days and was having about twenty
i've operations Of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convinced
that unless it soon obtained relief it
would not live. Chamberlain's Collie,

recommended, and l decided to try it.
