REAL UNKISSED MAN.
City Marshal of Salem, Mass, Is
a Unique Individual.
Boston Girl Reporter Tried to secure
Smack from Him. Hut Failed
-Chngrined by NOtoriety
He Has Obtained

After Prof. Crook. of Evanston,
had declared that he had never been
kissed he modified his statement SO
far as to admit that he had been
kissed by relatives. An unkissed
man really exists, however, and Ed
ward ii. knight, the city marshal of
Salem, Mass. is the individual.
When the Boston Post heard of
Mr.. knights distinction it assigned
4 young woman to kiss him. The
girl failed, even though her nom de
plume is Zaza Belasco.

need be. As luck would have it, how

WHAT FIGURES SHOW.
Those Countries Where Most spirits
Are Used Are the Greatest
beer Consumers.

A very interesting and highly sug-
gestive study of the drink problem
is presented in a late number of the
Fortnightly Review, London, by j. Holt
Schooling, a professional statistician
of 90 years experience in tabulating
the reports made by governments. So
large a proportion of the revenue of
states is now raised by tax upon
wines and liquors that it is not easy
TO misrepresent the facts. We have
not estimates" or impressions" but
official data prepared by appointees of
the governments whose duty it is to
see that each product is duly taxed.
And from these reports, Mr.. School
ing clearly shows that the more the
use of malt or fermented liquors is
encouraged the more rapid becomes
the consumption of rum, whisky, gin
and brandy. This destroys the theory
upon which the German beersbouts
have been recently introduced into the
schools of Boston and Cambridge. in
the year 1900 the beer consumption of
Germany was as gallons per capita
in America, 1873. OF course we ought
to find that the beer drove out" dis
titled liquors. On the contrary, we
discover that the German demanded
1.e gallons of spirits per capita to the
IL consumed in America. In France,
zone of those wine-producing coun-
tries where" travellers assure us
there is no drunkenness" there were
consumed 25.4 gallons of wine per cap.
ita, and more spirits than in Germany
nearly twice as much as IN the United
States. These facts are Just as patent
as those of population, or import and
export; but nevertheless the profes.
sors and tutors who have a weakness
for mugs and bottles will 60 on as
surfing the innocent public that the
only way to keep a boy from whisky
is to sill him up with beer. Mr.. School
ing In the article referred to attributes
the present commercial supremacy ot
America to "the relative sobriety OF
her workmen." Yet If our brewery
syndtcates and their learned apollo
g1sts can have their way for a few
years, both that sobriety and its re.

held it, for wasn't going to be
baked of my man after having such
hard work TO land him. He turned
around and, looking beyond me, said:
That's all we'll enough, but I'm not
going to be interviewed. There's been
too much talk about me in the pa

out looking at me, had a good view
of him. There he stood-a short
statured, stocIy man of middle age,

OF his countenance. ! tried'to make
him look me in the face, and drew
closer, putting on my best and what
considered my sweetest smile.
Picture to yourself n child at
school speaking his first piece, with
shifty feet ard eyes watching those
same feet. He was mad all through,
and all the plans / had to kiss him
rapidly wore away. He is not a man
/ that any woman would fall in love
with at first sight, and neither is he
particularly homely. His face is
keen and his eyes bright and shrewd,
and his heavy mustache hides a de-
termined, surly mouth. He seems to
be sincere in what he says, if his ges-
lures and tone of voice count for
anything.
Coming closer, said; rs it true,
Mr.. Knight, that you have never been
kissed by any woman?'
'He, angrily: It's all rot and it
makes me SICK and both arms went
wildly up in the air again.
"'Ah, then it isn't true. You have
been kissed He cracked a faint
! semblance of a smile, and, correct
ing himself hastily, said: Z didn't
mean that. 1 mean this newspaper
notoriety.'
Putting my face as close as I
dared, I said: Now, honestly and
truly, Mr.. Knight, would you like to
kiss me% If one ever saw a look OF
fright on a mans face it was on his.
He looked scared and then mad, and
1 was glad that I was on a corner.
eff all this is true I hastily add
ed, Mr.. Knight, people ought to
know about it, for you are certain
ly curiosity He never smiled, but,
getting away from he, said: There's
lots of things that people don't know
and shouldn't hear, either. It
wouldn't do them any good to hear

that people passing by could hear.

Mac lives in W, little town in

here, but only few years. He was
born in the city of Edinburgh, Scot

many years and was one of the most
noted ministers of Great Britain. Mr..
Moody was one Of his very dear friends
and helpers.
You are probably wondering now
how Mac should happen to be living in
such little out Of the way place to-
day, when his father was such a noted
man. But, If you will listen, will tell
you all about how it happened, and per-
haps you viii not be so surprised.

some of our little readers, he, very
much against his parents wishes, left

would be so happy If he could only live
en- the water, and In order TO crafty
his own wishes he disobeyed father
snd mother. But ocean life was not
what he had dreamed It 20 be, and he
soon became discontinued and uA-
happy.
Well, Mac lived on the ocean one
whole year and while there he acquired
the habit Of smoking. Like many fool
tsh boys he thought it smart to smoke,
and when he went back TO his fathers
house he kept it secret, so that for
several years his parents knew moth
ing of It.

urally enough he became very lazy and
stupid. His muscles never developed
and, worst OF all, he spent most of his
time with wicked companions. He
learned to drink liquor, and before 1t
became known to his parents he was
hopeless drunkard.
When still a young man, he managed
through his fathers influence, to get
a position in the Edinburgh bank, but
after getting drunk repeatedly and be-
ing absent from duty, he was Obliged
to forfeit 1t.
Time after time his friends tried to
rescue him from this awful drink habit.
but just as often did their efforts fail.
When all hope of his ever doing any

might prove a help to him. But the

and again he fell.
When all but lost he was Influenced
by the same kind friend, who had per-

that there would be no temptation for
him to drink. 1t was here learned to

ANCIENT TEMPERANCE LAWS.
They Are Known to Date Back More
Than Four Thousand Years
I'm Land of China

Legal action against incorporate
drinking is by no means new idea,
and the Chinese, though generally re-
garded as the most temperate race on
earth, were first in this, IL seems. as
in SO many other movements that have
been considered as modern. Long be-
fore the birth of Solomon warnings
against intemperance were common
In the literature and laws of China. In
the year 22s5 B. c., man was banished
by the emperor because he had In
vented an alcoholic drink from rice.
In 22o5 B. c. Emperor Yu refused TO
drink wine, for. he said: SIN after
ages there will be those who through
wine will lose their Kingdoms" I'm

drunkenness by death. In 2O6 b. c.
the penalty for that offense was a fine
instead of death. After many changes

and the punishment of drunkards, I'm
1879 B. c. all liquor makers were ban
ished from China.
After the Chinese in point of time
came the Jews. After them the Hin
docs. The ancient laws of Ceylon,
Burmah, and other Buddhist countries
forbade the manufacture, sale, or use
of liquor. In A. u. 626, the fourth year
after the Hegira, Mohammed, to pro-
mote the discipline and efficiency of
the army, forbade the use Of wine TO
the soldiers. This rule prevails in full

HENDERSON IN THE WAY
SPEAKER OPPOSED TO REVISION
OF TARIFF
Expresses Belief That Present Con.
ditiOns of Trade and Taxation
Should Be Allowed to
Continue.

WATERLOO, Iowa, Jan. 23-In a let
ter received here today, Speaker Hender-
son puts himself on record as against
any revision of the tariff by the present
congress- The letter is response to a
petition signed by seventy Republican
business men of Waterloo and Cedar
Falls
Speaker Henderson admits that some
changes might wisely be made in the
present tariff, but sees so much danger
IN opening up the subject for revision
that he would leave it as it is. He
says:
My judgment is that it is more i'm
portant at this time IN the interest of
this country to reduce taxation upon
ourselves and stop to a proper degree
the influx of the peoples money into the
public treasury. With the country in
an unparalleled prosperous condition, /
cannot believe it wise to begin a reduc-
ton which inevitably will open up the
whole field of revision and thus put a
serious check upon the business Of the
country.
The moment the country understands
there is to be q revision of the tariff, lob
bers will suspend large purchases, hop
ing to buy at lower prices. This will
compel the manufacturer to reduce his
business and this will compel a reduc-
ton of the pay rolls and serious business
calamity might ensue.'
