A kiss is a peculiar proposition.
Of no use to any one, yet absolute
bliss to two. The small boy gets
it for nothing, the young man has
to steal it, and the old man has to
buy it. The baby's right, the
lovers privilege, the hypocrite's
mask. To young girl, faith; to
a married woman, hope; and to
an old maid, charity. Exchange.

OF this amount will be paid back in
cash to the different villages immedi-

1t was particularly stipulated that
the tax was so many pounds of copra
and not so much money; yet in some
cases the natives insisted upon paying
in cash, but fixed the price of copra
ut one cent per pound. In three In
stances it was necessary 20 arrest and

and giving part of that in trade. The
order Of the COmmaudant was insisted
upon. and the full $4,000 pounds Of
copra have been collected. The sur
