Oh, you'll kiss me if you may try?

You-no, sir, not a "teeny bit.
They're all the same and-stop, now-we
You promise that you'll never tell
If I-oh. don't-you ought to be
Ashamed to be so rude to me.
You re sorry? Well, I'm glad to know
You feel ashamed for acting 50.
And-no, sir, no; we shall not kiss
And be good friends again. You miss

Not say that am prodigal
OF treasure which had not thought
Was worth so much until you brought
Its value to my notice. Why
Were you so stupid? And when |

If You persist I'll run away,
And that would be too impolite
For anything. | am not quite
So rude, hope. At least, do
Not wish to seem SO rude-to you,

Will you agree-don act that way.

Away and leave me when you know

A Few PalindrOmeS.

''It is a fascinating occupation, said a
philologist, ''to search the language for
palndromes. A palindrome is word that
reads the same backward as forward. Ro-
tator, for instance, is a palindrome. Sew
eral hundreds of these strange words are
tabulated, and new ones are continually
turning up in the English tongue. If you
can find one send it to the Palindrome so
ciety Of New York.
Il can rattle off extempore dozen or
two palindromes. Thus
"Bab, refer, bib, Anna, tot, bob, peep,
civic, toot, dad, madam, deed, pup, del
fed, sees, dewed, tat, did, shahs, eve,
reviver, eve, rotator, Cog, pop, gig, gag,
redder, level, noon, otto, sexes. "

The Waste of Health.

Yes, we all value health, and vet how
we waste it ! There is no way in which we
do not disregard the rules that compass it.
We read, for example, in the dark and in
bed and in the cars instead Of waiting for
light and quiet; we sit all day at work when
we should vary the day with exercise; we
eat in hurry, as if we feared each morsel
was to be snatched from us, when we should
eat slowly and invoke the powers of diges-
ton; we steal from sleep the hours that
belong to that benign restorer of tired ma
ture; we delight our gustatory nerves over
banquets which millstones coud not grind
to digestion, and we drink drafts which in
fame the stomach and set the brain ON fire
and bring the body to naught. And when
all is done we 90 about, if we are still able
to go about, complaining that there is no
health in us, and we blame fate and the
divine laws when we have ourselves to blame
and our ancestors.

How Wines Are Colored.

"Most people think white grapes make
white wine and dark grapes make red
wine, said vintner in the Minneapolis
Journal. That is popular error.
"Red wine is made by fermenting grape
juice and grape skins together, the skins
giving the color, and white wine is made
by fermenting grape juice alone.
"The juice of white and of dark grapes
doesn't differ in hue. In each sort of
grape the juice is almost eolorless, like the
weakest lemonade.
champagne, one of the dearest of the
white wines, is made of grape so dark as
to be nearly black. But the juice of that
nearly black grape is quite as pale as the
juice of the blondest white grape.

When Richard Olney was secretary of
state he frequently gave expression to the
opinion that appointees to the consular SER
vice should speak the languages of the
countries to which they were respectively
accredited
1t is said that when certain breezy
and enterprising Western politician who
was desirous of serving the Cleveland
administration in the capacity of consul at
one of the Chinese ports presented his
papers to Mr.. Olney, the secretary re-
marked:
care you aware, Mr.. Blank, that 1
never recommended to the President the
appointment of consul unless he speaks
the language of the country to which he
desires to go? Now, / suppose, you do
not speak Chinese?''
Whereupon the Westerner grined
broadly, 'If, Mr. Secretary said he,
''you will ask me a question in Chinese
shall be happy to answer it.
He got the appointment.

Bishop Capers, who is many years past

was still on the level, and asked the negro
at what age a man generally started down
grade.
"Dat depends entirely replied the
old negro, son the rate of speed dat you

Why a Minister Received New Shirts

After enjoying tea at the parsonage
certain minister said to his friends as they
were about to leave "Why even as |

Globe Sights.
From the Atchison Globe.


Don t start on an uphill pull after you
are 40.
So many things happen to hurt the feel
ings of old people.
A man is always longing to call some
body fool to his face.
Check yourself up and you will find that
you are kicking too much.
What very precious thing it is that it
never makes anyone sick to laugh!
Get acquainted with any preacher and
YOU will find it his ambition to 'reach
the men.
A woman who loves her husband, and
is nice and sensible, is about the incest
thing in the world.
When a woman goes into a restaurant
with a man and allows him to order her
dinner that settles it; she is bride.
When man returns home after being
away on a trip people do not seem as g lad
to see him as lie thinks they ought to be.
We despise the sort of woman who ''says
what she thinks" People cam reply as
sharply as she deserves, and take it out In
hating her, and in talking about her be-
hind her back.
An Atchison man who recently tried
Christian Science reports that it cost him
dollar treatment, absent or present,
but as there were no prescriptions to fill
he recommends it in preference to a doc
tor and druggist bill combined.

Worries of Life.

There is not day in our lives that we
are not distressed by some one Of those
numberless little worries that meet us at
every step, and which are inevitable. The
wound made may not be deep, but the
constant pricks each day renewed, embitter
the character, destroy peace, create anxiety,
and make the family life, that otherwise
would be so sweet and peaceful, almost
uncomfortable. Life is full of these little
miseres. Each hour brings with it its
own trouble. Here are some Of the little
worries : An impatient word escapes our
lips, in the presence Of some one in whose
estimation we would stand well. A SER
want does his work badly, iidgets us by his
slownesS, irritates by his thoughtlessness,
and his awkward blunders make us blush.
A child in its clumsiness breaks something
of value, or that we treasure on account
of its associations; we are charged with a
message of Importance, and our forgetiul-
ness makes us appear uncourteous, perhaps
ungrateful; someone we live with is con-
stantly finding fault, nothing pleases them.
If, when night comes, we find we have not
experienced these little worries, then we
ought to be grateful to God. Each Of
these and many more are liable to befall
us every day of our life.

The following anecdote is told of Gen.
Gilman Marston, once famous New
Hampshire lawyer.
General Marston was attending court at
Dover, when young attorney made
motion that was denied by the court. The
young man demonstrated against what he
thought was the wrong ruling Of the judge.
SO vehemently did he demonstrate that he
was fined SO for contempt Of court. An
older attorney took the matter up, and he
was fined similar sum. Still another,
who thought he stood little better with
the judge, endeavored to straighten the
matter out, but he, too, enriched the cof-
fers of the state by paying "ten spot
for contempt
General Marston was then seen to rise
in his seat and advance to the clerk desk.
Taking his long pocketbook from his
pocket, he took out two ten-dollar bills
and laid them on the desk.
''What is that for?' said the court.
81 want you to distinctly understand"
said the general, ''that | have just twice
as much contempt for this d court as
any man here, and am paying for it.

The Hessian FLY,
From Success Magazine

From success Magazine.
Few persons know that the Hessian fly
is one of the oldest of all crop pests in this
country and that its name was given to it
as 4 result of the fact that it was brought
into the United States in the straw includ-
ed in the impedimenta of the Hessian
troops sent over against the American Re
volutionists by George III in l77G. 1t
was first noticed on Long Island about 125
years ago, and since has spread coexten-
sively with the progress of civilization and
wheat growing west, north and south.
Sometimes it completely destroys the grow
ing wheat in certain sections, and the aver
age loss it causes is about 40, 600, 600
bushels annually, or about 6 or 1 per cent.
of the total crop.

New Method of Getting Rid of
StumpS.

The Scientific American recommends
method of destroying stumps, which ii 1t
is practicable. will revolutionize the clear
ing Of lands for farm purposes and will be
IA godsend to hundreds of farmers who are
wearing their Drawn out blowing and cnl
tivating around stumps and yet who do not
feel able to 90 the enormous expense neces-
sary to get rid Of the stumps in the old way
of dynamiting and digging them out.
Stumps can be destroyed entirely by the
following easy method
In the fall bore hole in the centre of
a stump about eighteen inches deep with
a one and one-half inch augur. In the
augur hole two ounces Of salipeter is to be
placed and then the hole is to be filled with
water and carefully plugged up. In the
spring the plug is to be bored out and filled
up with petroleum.
The stump can be set on fire and it will
shoulder away until the stump burns to its
very roots.
At least the method is simple and the
expense is so small that it would pay any
farmer to try the experiment.
