Rascal Kissed Pretty Girl

Two Columbia students cut classes
the other day and went out for lark.
AS they turned into Broadway from
10th street they looked around for
something in the way of excitement.
"Say, Kid" said the taller of the
two as an open car storped in front
of them, "you don't dare kiss that girl
in the Alice-blue hat"
The kid" sized up the pretty girl
at the end of the seat and turned to
his friend.
What do you bet?"

The "kid" gave a hurried glance
about for an insurance against the
minions of the law, sprinted after the
car, which meantime had started. and
swung on to the step beside the girl. A
resounding smack rose above the buzz
Of the car. Before even the girl could

A sea capt,-in was talking about the

KEEP TOILET ARTICLES CLEAN
sterilizing Process Highly Conducive
to Health, Saws an Expert.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Although the majority of womankind are
fairly well informed as to the various meth
DDS used in the newest treatment for skin
! or scalp troubles or in the work of remoy-
ing traces of neglect, not one in a hundred
stops TO inquire into the especially impor-
tant subject of sterilizing all instruments
necessary in this work in such manner
that the well-being of the patrons may be
assured.
In fact. so careless are many women Of
this respect that although the souls of
daintiness as far as their personal belong
ings are concerned, they seem TO be ner-
1ectIy obvious to the dangers they may
run IN submitting to treatments from the
n3nds OF one who is not well enough in
formed to realize the imperative demand

The Catalpa Tree South.
70 Philadelphia Ledger.


Between the lumber manufacturer, the
naval stores operators and the annual for
est fires, the south is being rapidly de-
nuded of her forests, while no effort is
made TO perpetuate the pine timber. The
cypress is Of too slow growth to offer much
hope, requiring twelve years to grow one
Inch IN thickness. Recently The northern
hardy catalpa has been introduced into
gulf states. and there is promise of an
abundant supply of timber BY the time the
pine shall have disappeared. The owner OF
catalpa plantation in louisiana has plant
ed $4,000 of these trees in Florida for the
East Coast Railroad Company. A cypress
tree four feet In diameter requires 300 years
to grow; southern yellow pine grows large
enough for saving In from seventy-five to
120 years; while catalpa spoc!osa two feet
in diameter has been grown In New ORLEANS
in fourteen years. Because OF this rapid
growth II Is now one OF the trees most In
favor for railroad ties.

CRANK MEXICO.
Colonies of Mormons and Zionites Set

From the New York Mail.
A new Mexico is growing up in old Mex
leo, which may some time become thorn
in our flesh. 1t is not merely a Mormon
Mexico-it is a crank Mexico of various
kinds.
1t is well known that the Mormons have
six fourshng polygamous colonies in
northern Mexico. The Mormons do not be-
lieve in race suicide. and they are multi
plying very fast in the land of the Hidal-
gos. In the United States proper they have
increased in numbers in sixty years from
a mere handful to between 100000 and 400
600 people. In another half century they
may, by natural growth and European
proselytiZation, build up a community as
large as that in Mexico. If they should,
the Mormon element would be politically
preponderant in the northern part OF the
republic and their communities would af-
ford a safe breeding ground for all so'tS
OF Mormon notions hostile to American
principles, besides poiygamy.
But the Mormons are not all. DoWle,

gether funds by the aid of which he has
