HOBSON'S KISS
A RELATIVE OF THE MERRIMAC
HERO IN MISS BOB WHITE.
She Inadvertently Started the World
Famed Kissing Bee.

Though the fame of the Richmond
Pearson Hobson case has travelled
around the world, few people are
aware that Miss Harriet Trainer, to
appear here tomorrow in Miss Bob
White" was the innocent cause OF
the doubtful fame of the hero OF the
Merrimac. The story dates back to
the months following the Spanish
American war, when Hobson was
making a triumphal tour OF this
country. Miss Trainor, then little
girl In short skirts, and distantly
related to the world-famed Hobson.
was taken to see him by her rela-
tives, on his arrival in Chicago, In
company with several thousand 9TH
ers. Little Miss Trainor was pre-
sented to the man whose name was
then ringing throughout the world.
Two lines of enthusiastic admirers
Of the gallant lieutenant. chiefly, OF
course, of the feminine variety. wit
messed the meeting between, Hobson
and Miss Trainor. This was in the
Dearborn station In Chicago.
From this slight beginning grew
the wondrous story seized upon with
avidity by the press of the United
States. Miss Trainor was the origi-
nal pkissee." though. Of course, the
waiting thousands we're unaware OF
her relationship to the lieutenant.
Quite recently he was entertained at
Washington, and Mr., Hobson told
the story at the Army and Navy club
to few friends. He said that at
parting he felt It only due to the
cousinly affection he bore Miss Trai-
nor to kiss her farewell. 1t was this
one little kiss that created all the
trouble. Like swarms of hungry mos
quitoes, the anxious young women
of the country seized upon this in
stance as a precedent established.
Hobson says the affair was exag-
Grated. Reports-thjl.ftgf cmfwcnfww
gerated. He had made 1t a practice
to kiss none but relatives, and the
exaggerated reports of his prowess
as champion of the art of oscula-
ton caused him never-ceasing en-
barrassment from that moment, but
as before mentioned, 1t was Miss
Trainor who was chiefly responsible
for the many official reprimands Hob
son received during his triumphal
tour Of the country.
She has almost forgotten the Incl
dent now. in fact until she read the
report of the statement made by
Lieutenant Hobson the matter had
not required to her mind for nearly
four years.

A GIRLS NATURE.
Little signs That, IL IL Said, Reveal
Phases Of Character.

Phases of Character.
Much OF a girls nature is betrayed
by the little act OF brushing a speck
of mans coat II she picks or the
thread or imaginary bit Of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger it is an indisputable sign that
she is a woman Of very practical and
executive character.
On the other hand. II girl should
brush the coat lapel of her fance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger OF her hand In her en-
deavor 10 remove an invisible speck II
is sure sign that she is more senti
mental than practical. The man who
marries her will live in continual at
mosphere of romance and bad house
keeping.
There is still another type of girl
who will brush the speck on a mans
coat with a broad sweep OF the hand
In which all the fingers and thumb play
a part. She Is in all probability an
athletic girl who excels at tenuis. golf
and the links and who Will prove q
high spirited. strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then. again, the girl who puts a
flower in a mans coat with her hand
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and the flower held in the tips Of her
fingers is sure to be something OF a
coquette. while the maid who gives
you only the tips OF her fingers when
she greets you in the drawing room OF
public street is probably an ambitious
girl.-Chicago Journal.

THE HEART MUSCLES.

How They DO Their Work and why
They Never Tire.
II is generally supposed that the
heart is an organ which never takes
rest, But this is notsso. The muscles
Of the heart are not necessarily work
ing. The heart contains four cham
bers-two upper. called the auricles, and
two lower. the ventricles. In the beat
ing of the heart the auricles first con-
tract and force the blood into the ven
tricles; they then relax while the ven
tricles repeat the process. Then fol
lows a pause, during which the heart
is perfectly at rest
The contraction Of the auricles takes
one-fifth OF the time between one beat
and the next, the contraction OF the
ventricles two-fifths and the pause two
fifths, so that the heart is really rest
ing two-fifths OF its time Sleep also
aids in relieving the muscles Of the
heart. as 1t considerably diminlshes
the rapidlty Of its action.
This alienation Of rest and activity
endows the heart muscles with their
capacity for untiring work.
