is my little wife, and we are going to
be married next Christmas" How far
away the next Christmas had seemed

The years slipped before her eyes

and how constant through all their
hoy and girl ups and downs, The eld-
ers had smiled at their frank affection
and half believed that what John said
would come to pass at some future
Christmas. She and John had wholly
believed it. She remembered how they
played together, how he drew her on
his sled. how he always chose her first
at spelling matches, although she was
not a good speller. and John was one

Tennessee Praise.

Dayton, Tenn, Dec. llth (speciaD.-
Among many prominent residents to
praise Dodd's Kidney Pills is Mr. N r
Roberts, of this place. He tells of what
they have done for him, and his words
will go deep into the hearts of all who
are suffering in the same way. He says:
Il was martyr to Kidney Trouble
but Dodd's Kidney Pills completely cured
me. l shall always keep them on hand
in case there should be any return of the
old trouble, but l am thankful to say
they did their work so well there has not
been the slightest sign of my old com.
plant coming back. The pain in my
back used to be terrible. If l got down /
had e hard job to get straight again. But
my back is like a new one now and l can
stoop as much as l please. l don't believe
there ever was any medicine half so good
as Dodd's Kidney Pills."

Some of the doctors are waging war
against kissing as dangerous from
sanitary point of view, and they espe-
cially protest against long kiss as in
volving risk of contamination from
germs coming from the lungs and
bronchial tubes. And this arouses the
chivalric and romantic soul of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, which pro-
tests thus: "Will these prosaic and
heartless scientists never quit mixing
germs with kisses? If the thing keeps
up there will be laws prohibiting kiss

The public use of the toothpick is
Enthusiastically American. In no
other nation is the vulgar habit of its
promiscuous manipulation tolerated by
decent people, remarks a contemporary.
The toothpick habit is so common in the
United States that even in homes of
otherwise cultured and well-bred peo-
pie one observes its practice. The very
best of cafes and hotels make ostenta-
tious displays of toothpicks, and at
mealtime one may see a whole lobbyful
of people industriously digging at their
teeth. We are not fully conscious of
the disgust and aversion such scene
arouses in the cultured stranger within
our gates. This is one custom that fully
1ustifies the unfavorable meaning i'm
piled in the term American manners. :.
