WHAT IS A KIss9

Some years ago the following defni-
tions of kiss were published, and they
are here reproduced.
A kiss is an insipid and tasteless NOR
sell, which becomes delicious and delecta-
BILE in proportion as it is favored with
love.
The oitener plucked the more abundant it
grows.
A thing Of use to no one, but much
priced by two.
The babv's right, the lovers privilege,
the parents bension and the hypocrite' 8
mask.
That which you cannot give without
taking, and cannot take without giving.
The food by which the fame of love is
fed.
The flag Of truce in the petty wars Of
courtship and marriage.
The acme Of agony to bashful man.
A telegram to the heart, in which the
operator uses the sounding" system.
Nothing divided between two.
Not enough for one. just enough for
two, too much for three.
The only really agreeable two-faced ac-
tion under the sun, or the moon either.
Something rather dangerous,
Something rather nice,
Something rather wicked,
Though it can't be called a vice,
Some think it naughty,
Others think it wrong,
All agree it's jolly,
Though it don't last long.
A woman's most effective argument.
whether to cajole the heart Of father,
control the humors of husband or con-
sole the griefs OF childhood.
The sweetest labial of the worlds Ian
guage.
Everybody's acting edition of "Romeo
and Juliet"
What the child receives free, what the
young man steals and what the old man
buys.
The drop that runneth over when the
cup of love is full.
That in which two heads are better
than one.

HE WILL NOT BE INVITED.

Kansas City Star: A Missouri preach-
er has declared that hereafter he will
tell the truth and nothing but the truth
in delivering funeral sermons. 1t is sus-
pected that this clergyman does not
care very much about officiating at fu-
Deral services anyway. At least his
calls after this declaration are likely to
be few and not close together.

The Rose OF Yesterday.

TRUE love Is but a transient thing,
And hearts are duh and cold"
So pessmistlc poets sing
Whose songs are all for gold.
The snow ball bush beside the door,
The scent OF new mown hay,
Are there the same as OF the yore--
Where is the rose OF yesterday
There's not 10 all the world heart
That e'er was true wis.,"
The same old pcssimistic dart
To pierce the target. bliss
The shady lane OF naples beck
The recreant away
From toll and spoil and stormy wreck
Where is the rose OF yesterday!
There Is no kiss that's worth the pain
They're bouEhten and for sale"

Just two. II swings Away

From me Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
She spent fortnight sewing
Every morning. noon and night:
She had to have the dresses
And they must be all right.
She trimmed her new hats over,
And made a bathing suit:
Twas fetching as q picture,
And Just about as cute.
She got yachting costume.
And toilet for the beach:
A gown for gay receptions.
With which shc meant TO teach
Tho bellies OF Eastern cities
The way that they should dress
And In her mind she saw. right of
Their Jealous, deep distress
She spent lot OF money
On things like that to wear.
And mother couldn't stop her
But there were tears TO spare
When she found her purse was empty:
Gone were her dreams Of joys
For she is rusticnting out

ing man of this city, who is a great
amateur fisherman, was following his
favorite diversion one day when he no
tieed that the water where he was fish

look for the cause. Not a great dis
lance off he found a sort of pool of the
peculiar liquid. His mind not running
on oil or oil discoveries he paid no at
tention to his discovery.
Some months later. however, he was
at the Rock Island roundhouse and no
ticed the crude petroleum they burn
there. Then he thought of the pool he
had discovered. He went out to the
place where he had seen the dark liquid
and got a gallon can full Of it, which
he brought TO town and submitted to a
man who had been in the oil regions of
