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 H. Knight, the city marshal Of
Salem, Mass. is the individual.
When the Boston Post heard of
Mr.. Knights distinction it assigned
a young woman to kiss him. The
girl failed, even though her nom de
plume is Zaza BelascO.

A Wise Move,

There's much to be learned from the SEN
ate, you'll find.
Though many presume TO deny It,
when doubt on some topic envelopes the
mind,
Just study its plan and apply It.
For silence is golden. Whenever your brain
Is tempted into a depression
Whose results you confess to yourself are
not plain
Go into executive session.
And when you are tempted to anger my
friend,
And like to be overly candid,
And detract from the dignity which you
would lend
Wherever your smile is expanded.
Remember It's often the word that's unsaid
That leaves the most happy impression.
Don't open your mouth. Leave them guess
ing instead
Go into executive session.

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, I said: is it true,
Mr.. Knight. that you have never been
kissed by any woman?'

DISPATCHES IN CIPHER.
One Corps TO Another and to
the War ONCE.

When sending messages in the
army it is necessary to use a cipher,
so that unauthorized persons cannot
read them. A keyword and letter is
agreed upon by the several generals,
and anyone ignorant of these two
things is unable to read the message.
The instrument used, which we illus
trate, is called the "cipher wheel"
1t consists of an outer circle, round
which the usual letters of the alpha
bet are placed in the usual order, and
an inner circle, having the letters in
the reversed order.

inscribed is pivoted at its center; the

arm A is fixed to this disc at any
letter chosen by the generals arbi-
trarily, say 4. This disc is turned
round by working the millhead B
In the cipher wheel the letters of
the keyword and those of the true
message are taken from the outer
ring, the letters Of the cipher mes
sage being read in the inner ring.
Take the famous message sent by
Sir Redvers Butler to Sir George
White at Ladysmith. Suppose that
the keyword is March," and that
Sir Redvers said: Il have been re-
pulsed" which it now appears were
not his words. First write the words
of the true message, next the key
word, repeated as often as required,
as below:
IHAVEBEENREPULSED.-Text.
Observation-Disclosures. - Key
word.
ETRHDLWNPQILXRPIX. - Cipher.
The cryptogram is obtained in this
way: Set the arm of the cipher wheel
AT A In the inner wheel and at the first
letter of the keyword in the outer
wheel. Take out at once for the whole
message the cipher letter of the inner
wheel corresponding to the true letters
on the outer wheel which appear above
the first letter of the keyword when
ever it occurs.
For instance, the first letter Of the
keyword is NJ. Above all the Ms will
be the letters B E E w U U NJ, and it
will be found that by setting the arm
at A in the inner wheel the correspond
ing letters on the outer wheel will be
f Ii QS SIS F. Then, by tdrning the
outer ring TO A(the second letter of
the keywOrd), another set of cipher
letters are obtained.
Continue the same with all the letters
of the keyword. and the cipher as in
the third line will be obtained. Thus
no person could decipher any message
unless in possession of the keyuord.

Before the dawn, the woods awaken fair,
And life sings lightly from the silence
where
The solemn night has fed away forlorn:
Nature is full OF hope, and unaware,
Before the dawn.
The mist hangs low to hide the coming
morn,
And flowers open in the languid air;
The way amid the trees is yet unworn
Before the dawn.
The song of Life is sweet beyond COM

No golden sunlight shadows dark despair;
The earth is scarce awake, shadow un-
born;
Only the tears of yesterday are there
Before the dawn.

All, there is silence In the housel
No shout upon the stairs; q
No clattering of chairs
Indeed, l think we'd hear a mouse
If one should chance to stir
The rocking horse, with bride loose,
Stares blankly at the wall,
While motionless the ball
Lies near the painted, wooden goose,
Whence now no squeak is heard.
Yonder train of cars is ditched;
Behind some building blocks
Quiet hides "Jack-in-BoX."
While to the table-legs is hitched
No basket. box or cart.
What means it all-this silence deep;
This peace so blessed and sweet;
This comfort so cOmplete7
1t means, wee Teddie is asleep.
