 These few are culled from a number of experiences, and give them for their worth and weight in the consider ation of the question: Shall the justice kiss the bride?
 Afraid Of germs? Mrs. Citizen, If I knew that in your kiss lurked a million germs. I would have dared every one of them and kissed you. I wanted to. Any man would. But I ask you to put yourself in my place. Your newly-ac- quired mate was a big man. He was in earnest in the matter before us. He had previously expressed to me the desire for as few words as possible in the ceremony, and that all unnecessary details be omitted. Perhaps your in vitation was plain enough. I did not catch it. But, from my point of view, I was exercising diplomacy in "Omit- ting unnecessary details"
 Hereafter I believe I shall adopt the plan of outlining the ceremony and requesting the couple to edit" it be- fore going to press

Why a Part of the Marriage Ceremony

To this com pIaint the justice files the following an- swer:
 ..Ungallant Official" "SouHess Limb of the Law" Craven 'Bloodless soul Void of Romance" "Recreant Justice
 All these and all this am called by the lady who signs herself "Citizen" in your paper of Wednesday. And all because I failed to kiss her at the close of the ceremony in which I pro- nounced her the wife of another man. And she says that sanitary precau- ton" is the reason I give for not kissing brides. And that the sordid dollar, or the base dollar is the only in- ducement for me.
 Now, am glad that this question is up. The issue is before the public, and ] hope it will not be quiet until the vexed problem is settled once for all.
 In defense permit me to give you a few of my many experiences in the marrying business.
 At first, when called upon 10 tle the nuptiaI knot, I was convinced that it was a part of the ceremony for the justice to kiss the bride. And some how believed that the knot was not le- sally tied until I had performed that Dart. I also believed that the kiss of the justice should be the virgin kiss of the bride. Privilege?

 the bride. Would you?
 One afternoon I was called to the southwest part of the city to perform
 the act. The girl had hair the color of sun- -bleached carrots, the sun having neglected its duty in spots. She had frec1les. Not the fetching, beachy
 kind but each freckle seemed to be of a different color and style, and all of
 them were suggestive of corpuscles.
 She was badly pitted, as the result of
 smallpox, and she looked to me as if
 the attack had not been a very remote
 one. She had a wart of large size on
 one side of her nose, and a repulsive,
 angry looking wen to the left under
 her chin Her teeth lOOmed out be-
 yond and independent of her smile,
 and displayed lack of care. As I pro nounced the last words declaring them

 was about to clinch the contract, he put his large, hairy and executive-ap- bearing hand between my lips and the spot sought, remarking, not Uncer- tainly, Say, mister, I'll do all the kissin' they is done here" Duty shocked again.
 In another case, just as was about 1 to satisfy Duty, the man caught the | bride, swung her away from me, kissed her six times. then swung her towards
