Affection

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take a kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
childless homes the kiss Of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected the springs of love in the
heart become chokcd for want of Use
and exercise. Childlessness is a great
sorrow to many women. II is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all Crca-
lures to be fruitful. II is not curse
but a misfortune Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.

PRICE DISARMED THEM

up last evening at the City Council
meeting by Mr., Keelar, who stated that
several months ago, when he preached
the matter the gentleman OF law and
letters said that he was perfectly will.
ing that his monthly stipend should be
lessencd should it become necessary.
Last evening Mr. Price told the
council that he did tell Mr. Peoples
when the latter was mayor, that if the
city fathers found it necessary to cut
his income he would serve out his
term at whatever they would allow. but
said he last evening; III the city is in
need, pass the hat around, and | will
put in my share usually do" His
magnanmity was too much for the as
sembIage, and the council adjourned
with Mr. Price salary remaining the
same.
