Edith RockefeIle'rs Marriage.

places and establish prospective says
the New York Press.
A man from Clinton, S. G. tells this
story about the Rockfellers and Nc
Cormicks:
The Thornwell Orphan Asylum at
Clinton, a splendid institution, is
maintained by the McCormicks, and
one of that name married Edith Rock.
efo.ler. When Nc Cormiok asked John
D. for her hand, the Standard Oil
magnate said in the rage {:
"You are like all the rest. of them;
you want to marry my daughie. be-
cause of her fortune. You all are
money hunters. You know she has
a millioA in her own right and you d
like to have it, I refuse to give my
consent"
Mccormick, made of good stuff,
replied:
II want Edith; I dou't care rap
about her money or yours. I've got
enough to support her in the style she
is accuatomed to, and as soon as
marry her l shall return to you the
million you gave her. She shan have
cent of your money"
Rockefeller liked tho voung man's
spirit. "You may have her on oondi-
ton that you do return the million"
he said.
We all rememberG the wedding, but
the most interesting feature was kept
a secret for some time. One Of the
presents was bundle of securities

How lie Got Rich.

II have heard many good stories in
my day which it would be useless for
me to attempt to recall. There is 80
much in the way story is told; often
more than in the story itself.
81 an a poor hand at telling stories
myself. Let me see. Oh, remember
now story once heard Jay Gould
tell. It was told as en- illustration,
and will give it to you in his own
words as nearly as osn recollect
them.
81 had friend once, said Mr..
Gould, whose great ambition was to
make money enough to buy farm aud
go into gentleman farming on large
scale. Well he was q keen business
man and very successful one. After
o fe" years he retired from the street
and gratifed his long cherished desire.
"'He bought big stock farm up
the Hudson and began carrying out
his grand plans. He bought the finest
blooded stcsk he coulds fud at enor-
NOUS prizes. lie hired lots OF help;
he had his Land all planted and seeded
with the best Of everything. There
was no sort Of fruit, grain or vegetable
TOO good for that farm.
"'He made show place of it, in
vited all his friends and acquaintances
to the place and entertained lavishly.
Time went on, and each year this gen.
tleman farmer grew poorer and poorer,
until at last he gave up in disgust aud
went back to Wall street, leaving his
farm to the care OF German named
Hans. Three yaars afterwards he
visited the fsrm and found the plod-
ding German prosperous and happy,
with money in the bank.
How is it, Hans?' asked my
friend, "that yon have made hundreds
of dollars where I have lost thous-
ands?'
"Well, you see," said Hans, "you
spent money on eferyting, and trow
id away; you invidts all dose boobies

Origin of Kissing.

According to Professor Caesar LON
broso, the distinguished Italian crimi-
noiogist, kissing is quite a modern
practice and originated in very curl
GUS manner. The kiss, az token of
affection. was unknown to the Grecks,
| and neither in Homer nor in Herodo.
tus do We find any mention Of it.
Hector did not kiss his Andromache
when he bade her farewell; neither
did Paris press his lips to those Of the
beautiful Helen, and Ulysses, who
vas moro Of a cosmopolitan than any
man Of his day, never dreamed Of kiss
ing the enchanting CiToe, and when,
after long wonderiDgs, he returned
home to his spouse, Penelope, he sat-
isied himself by putting one of hia
stalwart arms around her waist and
drew her 10 MIN.
The people Of Terre del Fuego, says
Lombroso, have taught civilized ma.
tions the origin Of the delightful art
of kissing. Drinking vessels are un-
known in The. cc-s:7y, and tho peo-
pie, when they are thirsty, simply lie
down beside the brooks and drink the
water as it flows by them. It is evil
dent, hc~eye-, that infants could not
satisfy their thirst in this pri-
mitive fashion, and therefore their
mothers have for ages supplied them
with water by filing their own mouths
first and then letting it pass through
their lips into the expectaut mouths
of the little ones. In some places
the banks of the rivers and brooks are
80 high that water cannot be obtained
in the usual way, and the mothers in
such places draw it up through long
reeds.
Birds feed their young ones in
similar manner. They first fill their
own mouths with water and then trans
fer it to the wide open mouths Of the
little ones. This very ancient mater
nal practice is, according to Lombro-o,
the only source to which the modern
practice Of kissing can be traced. The
custoo Of pressing one mouth TO an
other originated with the women in
Terre del Fuego, who could only sup
ply their infants with drink in this
manner. and it is presumable that
they learned the lesson from the birds.
Finally we are told that kissing is an
evidence Of atavism and a memorial
of that early stage in our development,
"during which the wife had not yet
triumphed over the mother, nor love
over maternity"
Lombroso's views on this subject,
says the New York Herald, meet with
the general approval of scientists,
though there are some who point out
that this explanation Of the origin of
kissing is not in accordance with the
one handed down to us by the old
Romans. These latter maintain that
the kiss was invented by husbands,
who desired to ascertain in this way
whether during their absence from
home their wives had been drinking
their wine or not.-Barn,oeW People.

Trip Across the Continent.

SAN Francisco, SEPT. Is.
Editor Bossier Banner: A few
lines descriptive of my trip may
be of interest, especially thatpart
over the Cotton Belt road to Fort
Worth. The road has improved
its service very much of late both
as to equipment and running
time. Branch lines have been
extended to various points, thus
opening up new territory, and in
creasing trade all alone the lines.
Settlements have sprung into
villages, ond villages have grown
into prosperous towns, and the
road has brought new settlers into
the country to support these
towns. This section of Texas is
growing more populous and pros
porous, and much of its prosperity
is due to the Cotton Belt system,
and the liberal and excellent
management of its chief officials.
Leaving Benton at 5:24 p. M,
the train arrives at Fort Worth at
6 a. m. next morning. The west
ward train by way of Pueblo,

that city in about q hours; and
from there to Salt Lake City, the

is not true. Polygamy is their
