MICROBES VS.. KISSES /.

DIR. Shultz, Health Commissioner OF
Milwaukee, is waging crusade against
| the spread of germs caused by kissing. .
DR.. Shultz, the German, says kissing
is a sin.
| That the act of OSCILLATION is but taking
microbes in,
He says the lovers outlook is gloomy
one, and black,
For several dozen creatures Turk in
! every single smack;
And he's pleading with the public, in a
pessimistic tone,
To try and save their systems, and to
let the kiss alone
But show me where's the lover who
Will take advice like this,
He'd rather have the microbes than go
without the kiss.
DR.. Shultz, the germ man, is a mighty
man, and smart,
But it's evident he never has hsd
trouble with his heart.
His talk is full of logic, and his dag
nosis right
But he's never known the pleasure of
call on Sunday night;
And while his germless body we may

Still we pity his condition when he
comes to say goodbye.
And though we know we hover on the
brink of an abyss,
Wed rather have the microbes than go
without the kiss!
Oh, DR.. Shultz, you germ man, your
theories are fine.
But you'd never think of microbes if
you had girl like mine,
Ii is bad to fill ones system with a lot
of little squirms,
But when I'm greeting Winifred 1
never think of germs!
Besides. I'm doomed already, physi-
clans would allow,
For by close calculation, l have eighty
billions now.

LIFE IN A NATIVE HOME

decorate the fair face of his help

course of the contest, which ended in
a draw, the connubial beds mosquito
netting was storm to shreds.
After a. night of torture from TIE in
sects. the wife appeared at the house
of the next door neighbor in the morn
ing. Her errand was to sell the
neighbor, a thrifty Chinaman, six
hens. She told him she wanted the
money to buy a new mosquito net.
The Chinaman did not want so many
fowls, but the woman's importantly
made him strike a bargain for four Of
them at $3.50 the lot.
The woman gave the money to her
husband to buy the gauzy stuff and
down town he went under the wifely
instructions. At evening he returned,
his pockets bullying. but nothing like a
dry goods parcel did he carry. The
wife asked him where was the mos

Here's something better than rns-

out Of his breast pocket came a bottle

then there was war in paradise.
The bottles fell soft in the Orientafs
cabbage patch, whose owner forthwith
accepted the good things the gods pro-
vided.
Next morning the Cninaman awoke
to find himself wearing a head that
strained it's queue cGils. There was
enough mitigating fluid left in the
second bottle to make his pain taper
into joy for the day. He was glad
anyway over the great bargain ne mad
made. For his money ne still had the
chickens, besides which he had tho gin
the money bought and a double jag
beside.
His poor Hawaiian neighbor had
nothing to show for chickens or their
price but the unn.itigated remnant of
a single jag.

BOUNDARY DISPUTE T0BESETTLED
West Virginia Commission Will be
Ready to Submit Arguments IN
October

October.
Mr.. E. H. Sincell has written to At
torney General Bryan, notifying him
that the West Virginia boundary
commissioners desire time to collect
more evidence in the case pending be-
tween the States of Maryland and
West Virginia concerning the boun-
Diary between the two common
wealths, but would be prepared to
submit arguments before the United
States Supreme Court during the
October session. Mr.. Sincell was EN-
ployed by the State of Maryland to
collect evidence in behalf of the
commission here.
The case has been dragging for
years, and the fact that the beginning
of the end is in sight will be pleasing
information to all interested.
The boundary between Maryland
and West Virginia at the headquar-
tiers of the Potomac river has long
been in an unsatisfactory condition.
1t has been the subject of dispute
and litigation, which finally resulted
in suit before the United States Su-
preme Court.
The act authorizing the suit against
West Virginia was passed by! the leg
islature of Maryland in 1890. 1t was
brought in 1891, since that time it has
been pending. The.surveys and loca-
lions were made underline administra
ton of Attorney General Clabaugh.
The most important question TO be
settled by the location is the initial
point or beginning of the line in con
troversy, which was supposed to be-
gin at the most western source or
''first fountain of the Potomac river.
Many persons in both states have al
ways understood that point to be at
the Fairfax Stone,n but when the
representatives of Maryland met in
the summer of 1897 to begin the sur
NSy Clcy Iouhu d spring luuCH larger
than the one at Fairfax, with much
larger stream also. This stream is to
the west of and one and one-eighth
miles distant from the Fairfax spring.
The Maryland representatives,
after satisfying themselves upon the
subject by testimony entirely salts
factory to them, began line at the
spring discovered by them, which
they called Potomac spring.
The disputed territory, as the mat
ter now stands, lies between the
parallel lines run from the Fairfax
and the Potomac springs, respective
ly, and embraces tract of fifty-four
square miles.
1t is said that West Virginia does
not dispute the location seriously, but
relies mainly upon her long continued
possession of the land in CONTROVERSY

The statement of Abel Gabinska,
who attempted to shoot Frank Adams
in Chicago last week, will not have a
tendency to tighten the delight of the
fat man. Gabinska said that he had
been sent from St. Louis with ipstruc-
tons to ''kil1 fat and prosperous men. ="
Most fat men look prosperous and if it
is true that the anarchists have
black listed the fat as we'll as the pros
