ABOUT KISSING.

Kissing is a noun, it's a name. Proper noun because it's the proper thing to do when they are ready and the heart is willing; plural number, because it takes two to perform it, common gen der, because it is generally per formed by one of each sex; pos sessiye case, because 1t possess es a delirious infatuation for the human race and agrees with parties performing the act.
 Kissing is closely connected with "buss" which is good old back woods expression, meaning a kiss that is highly enjoyed by two greenhorns who have power ful lungs and wonderful suction to perform the act with. in this sense buss means one kiss, rebus means kiss again, pluribus means number of kisses, hor- ribus means to be caught kiss ing by the old folks, merribus means to steal kiss, sylybus means to kiss the hands instead of the lips, blunderbus means to kiss an old maid by mistake and omnibus means kiss all present, including your motherinlaw.

We are now riding on the crest of the wave, but it will not be long before we get in the trough. Hard times will come, and then what are the Republicans to do? They have enacted a high tariff and have given us a gold stand ard, and when they find that neither of these will avoid disas- ter, they will seek to find some other remedy, the result ofwhich will be to help the rich without regard to the poor. o, the flu ture Democratic policy MT. Tillmansaid: "Wewill be against a carpet-bag government in the Philippines, because we know the evils such government brings l in it's train. I do not know that the money question will figure in
 
 the next campaign, but 1 doknow that there will be plenty of vul- nerable spots in the Republican armor which we can attack. " Of the probable Democratic can didate the senator said: T do not yet see a candidate in sight, but I, for one, will not favor the nomination of any one who has not been identified with the party during the past four years. l do not see how it is possible for so-called Democrats to expect the Democratic party to indorse in 1904 the principles to which the Republicans are now welded, and yet they are solomnly dis cussing such a proposition They expect the Democrats tc move side by side with the Re. publicans and then win. That is not my way of making a fight.

SHADOWS AND SUNSHINE.

 now gone;
 Cone. and the day is left alone. Shall we call it day, when shadows drear Are every wherein every room? No bright sun shows his face so dear. Nor penetrates this silent gloom A misty rain which seems to ne, Has stretched OCT land, from sea to sea, How many hearts arc dark as the day In how many lives does the sunshine glide Despite the gloom east OCT the way By days so dark and wider Let us heed it not, but try to feel AS the soul in which no shade can steal. This sunshine of God, how biest 1t seems, Despite the day robed in sable gloom; It is true-an true-though it seems like a

Mothers and fathers who have sons and daughters growing up, do not always realize as they should the great necessity of making nouTe 1IUt n1urrty G place in which their children eat, sleep, and are clothed, but one in which they find positive hap piness and enjoyment. Tn nine cases out of ten where you see a wild youth or a giddy girl, go to their homes, and you will find them cheerless, unattractive, or perhaps actually disagreeable. The nature of youth is excessive ly restless; it has longing for action and excitement, ambitions more or less vain, and always the irrepresSible desire to know a broader life. Repress these na- tural instincts, and you will be sure to throw them into any so- ciety that in a measure will grat- fly their longings; Your sons do not go to the public bar-rooms at first for the taste of the hquor which they have not as yet ac- quired; they go there for the gay companions they find there. The influence for good or evil thata mother has over her sons. the control that she exercises over their destinies is a grave re- sponsibility. Throw open your best room to the children in the evenings. Have books and a magazine or two, even if you put away less money. Stimulate their ambition, and invent occu- pations and amusement for your children. Give them games and endear yourself to them by shar- ing their joys and plays. En- courage them to be affectionate. Do not with formal coldness starve them for want of carress- es.

Water" said the thirteen year-old evangelist, while ad- dressing the crowd on Washing ton ard Newton avenues, is around everywhere, especially when it rains. Onions give forth water which like horse radish makes your eyes water. There are good many kinds of water rain water, soda water, holy water, Arkansaw river water and salt water. Water is used for a good many things sailors use it to go to sea on. Water is good thing to fire at boys with 0 squirt gun, and to catch fishes in. My father always takes a l1eg of beer and a quart of whis- ky along when he goes fishing; the com binatiou attracts the fish. Nobody could be baptised if their was no water on the earth to put people under. There was entirely too much water when Noah had to sail around in his boat for forty days. Ice water is the best to drink in summer, but some mix whiskey with it to make it cooler. Swamp water will turn a man a rich golden color in ten days, and then he is carried to the graveyard.

The Eureka Springs Flash light prints the following pen sion story, which can be duph- cated by many other towns in Arkansas:
 There is a young man, we understand, in this city drawing a pension from the government who is as strong and robust as an OK. He enlisted for the brush with Spain, but never got any luther than Anniston, Ala. He was never sick day during his enlistment, nor did he receive any kind of an injury. He re- ceived a letter from an attorney in Topeka, Kan, who sent him a blank, which he filed out and re turned to the pension shark, and his name was enrolled and he gets $8. every month from the government, besides, $111. as back pay. 1t is q pity that the government is not able to detect all such and cut them off.
 Commissioner Evans tried it, though, and was condemed by the very organization that ought to have given every en- e0uragement.

The value of publicity is illus trated once more by the case of Emma Lyon Briggs, an Swear old child who was lost for six months, but found by her moth CT by means of a portrait pub lished in the Post-Dispatch. Had 1t not been for this fortunate publication, 1t is not probable that mother and child would ever have been reunited. The press aids the police in ferreting out crime and experimenting criminals. The press exposes corruption in public office and brings the offenders to justice. The press shows up the abuses of privilege and checks it's growth. The press binds individuals, families, societies together and
 makes the whole world kin. PuD- licity is the greatest social force in existence. Without it the much talked of "rightto privacy" could not be preserved from violation, for individual rights are safe only in a we'll established state, the government of which is always in the light ofpublicity
 It may be laid down as a general rule that what the Wrongdoer hates is a good thing for society. No thief e'er felt the halter draw with good opinion of the law. ."-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

While in Washington recent

While in Washington recently Senator Tillman of South Caro- lima expressed some vigorous political opinions. He said it is stupid to talk about the Demo cratic party being the enemy of the business interests. We did indorse the free coinage of silver, but events have proven that our contention as to need of more money was correct. The pros perity which the country has experienced is simply due to the large increase in the supply of gold through new discoveries.
