Some years ago the following def.
nitions of kiss were published, and
they are here reproduced, being con-
sidered well worth the space given
them, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A kiss is an insipid and tasteless
morsel, which becomes delicious and
delectable in proportion as IL is ma
vored with love.
The sweetest fruit on the tree of
love. The oftener plueked the more
abundant il grows.
A thing of use to no one, but much
priced by two.
The baby's right, the lovers priv

hypocrite's mask.
That which you cannot give with
out taking, and cannot take without
giving.
The food by which the flame of love
is fed.
The flag of truce in the petty wars
Of courtship and marriage.
The acme of agony to a bashful
man.
The only known smack" that will
calm storm.
A telegram to the heart in which
the operator uses the sounding" sys-

Nothing divided between two.
Not enough for one, Just enough
for two. too much for three.
The only agreeable two-faeed ac-

The sweetest labial of the world

A woman's most effective argu-
ment. whether to cajole the heart Of
a father, control the humors Of a
husband or console the griefs OF
childhood.
Something rather dangerous,
Something rather rice,
Something rather wicked
Though Il can't be called a vice,
Some think il naughty.
Others think il wrong.

Though Il doesn't last long.

CAPT. HENRY GESSFORO.
A MeritOriOuS Promotion of a Tai
ented and Ambitious Officer.

The Globe had rather a sharp crit
icism on the promotion Of a certain
| captain of police in its last Sundays
| issue While we mentioned no names,
police circles knew who was meant,
In further investigation into this
matter, The Globe, believing in JUS
tice and fair play, presents the result
as follows.
Harry l.. Gessford, the captain re-
feFP6d to- was appointed to what is
known rs Desk-Sergeapt in the Police
Department D, c. Jan, s, 1881. BY
hard work, constant application and
close observance, he became proheient
in the knowledge of District laws and
rulings Of the courts, and an expert
in matters pertaining to the force, and
was enabled to advise as to proper ac-
tion in delicate matters which the po-
Lice had to handle. He has record in
apprehending and handling criminals,
and on one occasion, while a Desk
Sergeant at the station In southwest
Washington he was notified that a
woman had been murdered by her hus.
band Ne officer being within call. he
placed the janitor in charge Of the sta.
ton, FASTENED to the scene Of the
tragedy, and arrested the notorious
murderer, Frank Minor Among other
things, he located and secured the
widely known Beverly Williams, for
whom the police were looking on the
charge OF numbering an employe Of the
Stevenson Express Company.
His efficiency and ability attracted
the attention of the late Colonel
Moore, when he was Superintendent OF
Police, who transferred him to head
quarters, and his conduct and uuaIif.
cations have caused those with whom
he has come in contact to regard him
as one of the best equipped men in the
department for the position to which
he was recently promoted. He is kind
but positive, genial but dignified, strict
yet Just; in other words, possesses in |
a marked degree those qualities which /
should distinguish man placed in
Of others. Heretofore all .
police work. aside from clerical, has .
ieyolved on the superintendent, ex-
'epting the detective branch, requiring
his constant and unremitting atten-
ion, day and night, holidays and Sun
lays. With a view of relieving him
self, that he might give some attention
% study Of police matters and men, he
las called to his assistance a young
nan who knows his policy thoroughly,
md who has already taken Sp many
important matters to relieve the un.
'qual distribution Of duties that for
'ears existed, and it was through Ma.
or Sylyester's personal exertlons that
he Office was created, to give him the
which for many years un.
Ter advanced conditions has been
leeded."

About what will be the aggregate

"Oh, there won't be 10000 pensions

than so per cent. of the applications

about $4,000 men will get pensiOns,and
they will average about $3.50 I, year
each, or, say $2250,O0O for all Of
them"
"Do you think that two millions and
a quarter dollars will cover the pen.
sions annually for the Spanish
war?"
No; experience has shown that the
pension list grows for a number O{
years after the close of the war. But
lots of the men who have applied for
pensions are young men who have
