Where Hebes and Clytlas ard Psyehes
abound.

The girl you can kiss Is nowhere to be
found.
AND to Ditful waste go their cherry -Hred
lips.
PERHAPS they can hirt with a fan, and ean
And wsth gesture and smile hint of coz
Yet IN spite of all this one is driven to
They lose rare climax in banning the
Kiss.
No doubt there is love where the lips do
And devotion without any soiacing rite
But why should they shun a performance
so sweet
When no one Is near them with power TO
alright?
Why mock US with beauty that beckoas
to ban:
Why lure US with glances that win but
to grieye?
o desolate doieful, dear girl Of Japan,
That YOU like this denial what heart
can believe?
However,. if this. too. Is true that I'm
told
That instruction in kissing you sometimes
allow
There are thousands I know of sufficiently
bold
Who would traverse the world round to
tell YOU just how.
With choice illustrations, the requisite lore

before.
And why she had missed such an ex-
quisite bliss,

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

Great Eastern. Leaving New York in
November for Liverpool, with 500 souls
aboard, she was coursing across the
Banks, with fair weather, but dark, when
near midnight, about $50 miles east of
st. Johns, she rammed a monster ice
island at full speed-1S knots. Terrific
was the impact and indescribable the
alarm. The passengers, flung from their
berths, made for the deck as they stood
though some were so injured as to be
helpless, and the calls of those forward,
added to the shrieks Of the frenzied mob
of half-clad men and women, who
charged for the boats, made up a pande-
monium. Wild cries arose that the ship
was sinking. for she had settled by the
head, and with piteous appeals and de-
spairing EXPLANATIONS the passengers
urged the boats over, that they might
escape the death they thought inevitable
But the crew were well in hand, the Off

took a surreptitious peep at the photo

Her way to send messengers with her
missives.
"Nery well, Kathleen wrote Jack,

He sent the boy with this note and an
order on a florist for box of violets, as
the messages accompaniment, and then
he turned to his work again.
But his eyes failed to do more than
stare at the figures before him. His
brain could not grasp their meaning
Kathleen's face persisted in dancing
about the inkwell, in a twostep that
played havoc with Business.

said to himself. Out"
And then he took another photograph
from an inner pocket of his coat, and
kissed it tenderly.

Kathleen buricd her nez retrousse in
the purple fragrance and shifted with
satisfaction.
Jack always sends violets,' she said
to one in particular, though her maid
sat near by sewing some lace on the din

out for her to wear.
Kathleen looked gloomily upon a tall
vase of long-stemmed Americas beauties
that stood on the table.

Bureau of Labor.

Much can be done by the Government
In labor matters merely by giving pub
lirity to certain conditions. The Bureau
of Labor has done excellent work of this
kind in many different directions. l shall
shortly lay before you in special mes

of the Bureau of Labor into the Colorado
mining strike as this is a strike i'll which
certain very evil forces. which are more
or less at work everywhere under the
conditions of modern induStrialiSrI. be
came staItlinsly prominent. 1t is greatly
to be wished that the Department OF
Commerce ard Labor. through the Labor
bureau should compile and arrange for
the Congress a list of the labor laws of
tho various states. and should be given
the means to Investigate and report to
the Congress upon the labor conditions in
tho manufacturing and mining regions
throughout the country, both as to wages,
as to hours of Labor, dS To the abor of
women and children. and as to the effect
Ill the various labor CentcrS of immigra-
tion from abroad. In this investigation
especial attention should be paid To the
conditions of child labor and child-la bor
legislation in the several states. Such an
investigation must necessarily take into
account many OF the problems with which
this question of child abor is connected
These problems can he actually met. in
most cases. only by the states themselves
but the lack of proper legislation in on"
state in such a matter as child labor
often renders 1t excessively difficult to cS
tablSh protective restriction upon the
work in another state having the same
industries so that the worst tends to
drag down the better. For tniS reason ii
would be well for the Nation at Least to

children in the different states. Such in

tional Government would tend toward the

lation of the proper character among the
