Reflections of A Bachelor

The only right way to win a
woman is to make her think
she wants to win you.
A man can always be sure
that two or three other women
will know exactly what he
says when he proposes.
Making love to a woman is
a lot like going tishing-you
better take more bait than you
think you'll need.
When a girl tells a man she
dreamed about him last night
it is sign she is going to begin
calling him by his first name.
If mems clothes were sewed
together the way the average
womau's are no man could
walk a block without getting
arrested.-New York Press,
Judge w. w. Rucker, our
efficient congressman, carried
the district by nearly $500
majority, and ran ahead of his
ticket in every county in the
district. This leaves no one
to doubt that Judge Fuckers
constituents properly appreci-
ate his valuable services in con-
gress. No faithful public serv-
ant could ask stronger en-
dorsement than our distinguish
ed fellowcitizen. has received,
and Judge Rucker can rest in
the fullest assurance that his
official duties have been well
performed. -Keytesville Courier.

You Kissed Me.

At the request of several readers
this poem is reproduced. 1t was
written by Miss Josephine S. Hunt. a
young girl of Is. The last six lines
in the second verse are VIII at proba-
bly, inspired the equally passionate
stanza of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in
which she expresses the lovers will
ingness to barter heaven itself for a
kiss.
You kissed me! My head
Dropped low on your breast
While a feeling of shelter
And infinite rest.
While the holy emotions
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed up in flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast:
o, your arms were so bold;
Heart beat against heart
In their passionate fold.
Your chances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes,
AS the sun draws the mist
From the seas TO the skies.
Your lips chung to mine
Till I prayed in my bliss
They might never unclasp
From this rapturous kiss.
You kissed me! My heart,
And my breath, and my will
In delirious Joy
For moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms
No visions of happiness
Outside OF your arms,
And were l this instant
An angel possessed
OF the peace and the JOY
That are given the blest,
[ would fling my white robes
Unrepiningly down,
would tear from my forehead
its beautiful crown,
10 neSJle once more
In that haven of rest,
Your lips upon mine,
My head on your breast.
You kissed me! My soul,
In bliss SO divine,
Reeled and swooned like a drunken
man
Foolish with wine.
And l thought 'twcre delicious
To die there if death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath
'Twere delicious to die
If might grow cold
While your arms clasp me round
In their passionate fold.
And these are the questions
l ask day and night:
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would you care if your breast
Were my shelter as then,
And If you were here
Would you kiss me again?

It is a singular fact, if true, that few
if any, of the Mongolians who have en-
tered the United States belong to the
Boxer country. In conversation with
several Cinnamon in Kalispell, the other
day, it is learned that the Chinese who
have come to America are chiefly from
the southern portions of the empire.
There is no sympathy between the in
habitants of the two sections, and for
years the natives of the south have been
prosecuted and murdered by the Boxers,
just as that faction are now fighting the
foreign devils" in Pekin and vicinity.

1t is announced that Queen Wilhelm

that she is engaged to Frederick Francis
Grand Duke of Mecklenberg- Schwerin
who is Is years old-a year younger than
the charming Wilhelmina herself. There
has been no end of speculation about
the young queens marriage since she
got away from the leading strings of the
queen regent. The opinion is generally
held that Wilhelmina is a very good
sort as queens go, and the we'll wishes
for her happiness in the married state
will not be confined to those of her own
subjects, albeit the royal niblets she
has chosen for husband appears to be
lower young to marry yet"
