Law Prohibits kissing.

There is among the city statutes of
Milan law vigorously prohibiting all
kisses or other amatory demonstra-
tons in public places, as being con-
trary to morals. This precious statute,
though dating from the days of the
Sforzas, is still so strictly enforced
that only recently pair OF perfectly
respectable lovers were hauled before
the tribunal for merely exchanging
an embrace in a quiet corner of the
park when they thought nobody was
looking. Upon this case city Solo
mon adjudged that, though kissing un-
der such circumstances could not be
considered contrary to morals, it was
not consistent with the ideals of ad-
vanced civilization as to decorum. A
fine OF few dollars was inflicted.

cries of that noisy afternoon. First
the old college yell was given and then
came "Stone-henge!" three times,
long-drawn-out and sharply accented,
followed by players name.

Stone - henger' Stone - henge"
"Clarkson!" rang the shout from a

ened proudly at the sound and turned
to his place in the line. Dana and the
girl were for the moment forgotten;
the honor Of the old college filled his
head and his heart.
In the very midst of the uproar play
was resumed and once more the quar-
ter-back gave the signal "One-Two-
Eleven-A-Z-Y-Q The words
flung twenty-five human catapults
into action. Dana, dashing forward
caught the ball, passed clean and
straight by the quarter and dove blind

son might not be able TO make hole
never occurred to him, and his conf
dence was rewarded.
Clarkson, using all his strength and
all his science for the glory of Stone
henge, had brushed aside the Wilhurst
guard like a fly, and the broken line
gaped wide. Through like flash went

She Knew the Game.
BY HARLAN c. PEARSON


copyrighted, 1900: Daily Story Pub Coz
"OneTwo- Eleven-A," shouted the
Stonehenge quarterback and paused.
The two elevens. fiercely in haste, had
lined up for another scrimmage before
it was noticed that the Wilhurst right
end had not risen from his place at the
bottom of the last heap.
So the quarterback was stopped in
the middle of his signal by the ref
eree's call OF Time" and there was a
three-minute wait for ministrations to
the injured player
That gave Clarkson right guard a
somewhat unwelcome opportunity to
do lot of thinking
That part OF the signal given by the
quarterback before the call of time
told all that was vital OF the next
play. To Clarkson, and TO every other
member OF the Stonehenge eleven, it
indicated that Dana, the full-back, was
TO take the ball and buck the center.
Maynard, the center rush, and Clark
son, the right guard, were to open a
hole between them through which
Dana was to plunge for a gain of as
many yards as possible. If the end
rushes got through in time to aid him
by interference he might even score a
touchdown, though the Wilhurst goal
was forty yards away.
1t was just the right play for the
moment and Clarkson knew 1t. 1t was
the second half Of the game and but
ten minutes of playing time remained.
Neither side had scored; each was
stronger in defensive than in offensive
work.
But Dana, plucky and strong and
swift, had been saved by Stonehenge
for the emergency. All through the
first half his accurate kicking had fire.
quently been needed to send the ball
far down the field on three downs or
to return with interest the punts of the
Wilhurst full-back. But when it came
to running with the ball. the signals
were not for Dana One batch of half
backs had been used up and had re-
tired in favor OF eager substitutes.
Tackles, guards and ends had all been
used TO advance the ball, but not once
had the quarter-back's pass been to
Dana.
The wilhurst players and coaches
noticed the omission and wondered If
Dana had sustained some injury in
practice OF which they were ignorant.
The Stonehenge alumni in the grand
stands swore under their breaths that
the captain and the quarterback had
lost their senses. Only the Undergrad
yates, unwavering in their confidence,
told each other that Wilhurst would
be Jared" in the last quarter of an
hour.
Now that time had come Dana
hardly could contain his eagerness. He

become the leader and the life OF all
the gaiety possible in D fresh-water
college town. The boys were seniors
now and Miss Kitty had grown to the
stature OF dignifed young lady. In q
few months the final test must come
and no one, Dana or Clarkson or the
girl, felt quite sure as to the outcome.
IF she only knew the game" groan-
ed Clarkson inwardly, "she could see
that IL | didn't make a hole Dana's
run wouldn't amount to shucks. But
OF course she don't. No girl does.
She'll see Dana tearing down the held
for a touchdown and me back in the
ruck, most likely with a bloody nose.
She'll hurrah for Dana with the rest
and laugh at me, If she thinks OF me
at ALL"
That wicked little devil called
Tempter, who is found on football
fields just as he is everywhere else,
seized this moment TO come whisper
ing in Clarkson's ear and said: What
IL you don't make that hole? You
have done work enough already in this
game so that no one will blame you.
1t will not lose the game. Wilhurst
can't score, anyway. 1t will be tie.
II there is no place for Dana to get
through he'll likely be thrown for a
loss and then She will laugh at him
instead Of at you"
Just then a tremendous roar from

THE Father Knew the Bow.

When Rudyard Kipllng was lad
he went on sea voyage with his
father. Lockwood Kipling. Soon after
the vessel got under way Mr.. Kipling
went below, leaving the boy on deck.
Presently there was a great commo-
ton overhead and one of the ships
officers rushed down and banged at
Mr. Kipling's door. "Mr. Kipling," he
cried, your boy has crawled out on
the yard-arm, and If he lets go he'll
drown!' Yes, said Mr.. Kipling, glad
to know that nothing serious was the
matter; but he won't let CO."

CHINA WAR NEWS.

AS was expected, the meeting of the
foreign ENJOYS at Pekin on the 4th did
not result in any definite conclusion,
owing TO the fact that not all of the
governments have notified their repre-
sentatives as to the form of the pre-
liminary note to the Chinese plenipo
tentiaries. Mr.. Conger, the United
States minister, said after the meeting
that he was well pleased with the re-
suit of the ministers meeting.
Field Marshal Count Won Waldersee
telegraphed from Pekin, under date of
Dec 8, that the two attachments of
troops from Tien Tsin, commanded by
Col. Lohrscheidt and Maj Falkenhayn,
which had been proceeding against a
considerable force of Chinese regulars
who had taken up a position at Tsang
Chou, % kilometers southwark of
Tien Tsin, have occupied the place
without opposition, and that the col
umns are returning to Tien Tsin.
The state department at Washington
on the 4th was informed that the
foreign ministers at Pekin had reached
an agreement which was submitted to
the home offices, Secretary Hay cabled
Mr.. Conger authorization to sign the
agreement on behalf Of the u. S. gov
eminent In the two important issues
that were still open, namely, those re-
lating to punishment and indemnity,
TIE view Of the u. 5. government has
prevailed. As to punishments, they
are to be the severest that can be in
ficted by the Chinese government. AS
to indemnity the Chinese government
is TO formally admit its liability and
then the matter is to be left for futher
negotiation. 1t was understood that
on the other points the French propo-
sition has formed the basis of the
agreement.

Mr.. Isaac Brock, OF McLennan coun-
ty, Tex, has attained the great age
or Ill years, having been born In

runa and speaks Of 1t in the following
terms:
During my long life | have known
colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. l had
always supposed these affections to
be different diseases, but l have
learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and
are properly called catarrh.
las for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Pc
runa, l have found it to be the best,
If not the only reliable remedy for
these affections.
"Peruna has been my standby
for many years, and I attribute my
good health and my extreme age
to this remedy. IL exactly meets
all my requirements.
Il have come to rely upon It almost
entirely for the many little things for
which l need medicine believe it to
be especially valuable to old people"
Isaac Brock.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and see
our dear ones suffer while awaiting the
arrival of the doctor. An Albany On. y. J
dairyman called at drug there for &
doctor to come and see his child, then
very sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to come
at once on his return. He also bought a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some relief
until the doctor should arrive. In "A few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their
neighbors and friends until he has con-
slant demand for it from that part of the
