Kissfup Days at HunSerfOrd.

Yesterday was kissing day" at Hun
gerford, a quiet community on the
western borders of Berkshire, renowned
for it's trout fishery and its faithful
adherence to the ancient customs of
Hocktide. which have been observed
since the days of John of Gaunt, Duke
of Lancaster, who granted the rights
and privileges to the commoners.
At daybreak the town crer, arrayed
in new livery, took his stand on the
town hall balcony and blew his lusty
blasts on the historic horn, which is
the symbol Of Hungerfordian liberty.
Then the ''tuttimen" went forth bear
ing slaves garlanded with flowers and
made a decentralization of the town.
kissing every lady whom they met and
dmanding a penny from every male
householder.
The sum thus obtained served to pur-
chase oranges for scrambling among
the crowd of children who followed in
their footsteps The ladies took the
kissing in good part and the males paid
up snilingly.
Meanwhile the HOcktide jury was
transacting more serious business in
the town hall, electing a constable. who
is both a coroner and a mayor; also
appointing keepers of the keys of the
common Golfer. bailiff, portreeve and
other ancient officers whose duties are
rather obscure.-London Evening
Standard.

Yes: but I hardly thought that you
would have the temerity to venture into
the lions den."
Nonsense" Valentine said with dis
dainful smile, 1.-The lion. as you call him,
| assure you,- was remarkably tame: he
drew his claw, completely and received
US with the most exquisite politeness."
In that case take care the capataz
replied. with shake OF the head: If he
received you in that way, he is, De assur-
ed, preparing a terrible plot"
Il am of the same opinion; the ques-
ton is, whether we shall allow him time
to act"
He is very clever, my dear Valentine, -
the capataz continued, land seems TO
possess an intuition of evil. In spite of
the oath / took to you when, on your
entreaty, l consented to remain il his
service. there are days when, although
possess a thorough knowledge of his
character, he terri6es me, and l feel on
the point OF giving up the rude task
which, through devotion to you, l have
imposed on myself"
Courage, my friend; persevere but a
few days longer, and, believe me, we
shall all be avenged
May heaven grant it" the capataz
said with a sigh but confess that /
dare not believe it, even though it is
you who assure me of the fact"

Ezra Meeker Seeks to Have Famous
Roadway Improved to Coast.
Ezra Meeker, white-haired old pio-
neer of the golden West, in his wagon
drawn by yoke of oxen. ''crawled'
into Columbus about 5 o'clock Sunday
evening over the old Oregon trail and
Immediately paid his respects to Mayor
Barger, who gave him the freedom of
the city, says the Columbus (OhiO)
Dispatch. Farmer" Meeker, as he
calls himself, left Tacoma. Wash, Jan.
%, 1906. and has travelled $500 miles
at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles
day.
He follows the old Oregon trail, but
declares that it is not what il was
when he traversed it in his younger
days. The trail branches off into as
phalt streets, lined with mansions; in
turn it becomes a country road and
then a main thoroughfare, and Farm
err Neeker says that he has some diff
ficulty in following it with his team of
oxen. but up to date he has not gone
aStray.
Il am making the trip because I
think the old road should be memorial
lied. l am going TO Washington with
my team and will try TO get the prop
err authorities to agitate a movement to
have the trail relaid as a concrete road,
reaching from the Mississippi to the
Pacific coast" said the aged traveller.
Il went TO the State of Washington
from Indianapolis in 1852. l followed
the Oregon trail in an OK cart like this
one. On the way back have met Il
few friends whom l had known before
went West, but not many. l am 76

NOVEL CURES FOR SNORING.
Case of Offending Policeman Sug-
gests Remedies for Disease

Case of Offending Policeman Sug-
gests Remedies for Disease.
Very many of our readers will be
interested in the ultimate fate of the
unfortunate snoring policeman who has
been banished from his fellow sleepers
and Gagged at night in sound-proof quar-
tiers. Perhaps the dreadful infirmity,
now that it has the official recognition
of his superiors, may call for some suit
able scientific treatment. If so the
great army of snorerS can covertly
watch the outcome with all the cunning
and complacency of undiscovered trans
gressors.
We are glad we can make the start
with a perfectly fair case, for convic-
ton of the nuisance is always most
difficult to obtain. The culprit must be
caught with the snore on him and in
the presence of reliable ear witnesses.
No one has ever been known to &C
knowledge his fault voluntarily.
On the contrary, one of the sureSt
signs of the confirmed malady is his
persistent denial of its eXiStnece. He
is not satisfied to plead lack OF pre-
meditation and absence of accountable
ity, but openly impugns the motives of
his clam0rous accuSerS. The worst of
it is that on all other matters he is
perfectly reasonable. This makes it
extremely difficult to obtain his consent
for treatment of any sort.
We sneap now of SnOrerS as a class.
The only easy way is to tackle them
when they cannot resist. There are
various approved methods not only in
genious but effective for temporarily
arresting the sonorous, rasping and vi
brating respiratory spasms. The most
popular, perhaps, is the elbow thrust
in the ribs. Next comes the gentle
pinch of the nose whereby part of the
wind current is shut off. Some have
advised that the nose be clasped by a
clothespin even before retiring, but, I'M
fortunately, the subject of the expert
ment almost invariably demurs.
Others have recommended sitting on
the chest, but this is rather hazard
GUS proceeding for both parties, and so
also is a temporary twist of the wind
pipe, unless performed by skilled
manipulation. But no matter what is
done the disease is well known to recur
Indefinitely.
In most instances death appears to
be the only common relief for the peace
n n ic win lot
But the end should never be FASTENED.
The poor policeman for the present can
be safe in his cupOla, but how long
remains to be seen. Twice last summer
the place was struck by lightning. The
main hope now is that man and cupola
may both alter their habits before it be
too late Meanwhile the neighborhood
must plug its ears and wait.-New
York Herald.

CHILDREN SHOWED 1T.
Effect of Their Warm Drink I'm the

fee drinking and was on the point of
giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness
Il was telling friend about it and
she said. We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee. and it is
such a comfort TO have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children.
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children TO drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that TO be a fact
My first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or FIVE minutes and
it tasted so fiat that l was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-
ter the boiling began. 1t was a decided
success and l was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In a short
time l noticed a decided Improvement

CHAPTER XXI

The house taken for Valentine BY VI.
Rallier was, as we have already stated,
situated in the Gale de Tacuba. only a
few yards from the mansion belonging to
General Don Sebastian Guerrero.
The hunter. therefore, would only have
had a few steps to go to reach home
after leaving the general. But suspect
ing that the latter might have given
orders to have his carriage followed, he
ordered his coachman to drive to the Aia-
media.
As the night was far advanced, the
promenaders had abandoned the shady
walks of the Alameda, which was now
completely deserted. This doubtless was
what the hunter desired. for, on reach
ing about the center of the drive, he or
dered the ccachman to stop, and got out
with his companions.
Valentine, like all men accustomed to
desert life had an instructive distrust of
stone walls, behind which, in his fancy,
a spy was continually listening Hence,
when he had an important affair to dis
cuSs, or a serious matter to communicate
to his friends, he preferred going to the
Alameda, or somewhere in the environs
of Mexico, where after posing Curcu-
milla as sentry, he believed that he could
safely confide his closest secrets to the
friends he conveyed to the strange open
air councils. On reaching thick clump
OF trees the hunter stopped.
I'VE shall be comfortable here" he
said.
The trees have eyes, and the leaves

Yes" Valentine remarked with a
smile, IF you do not take the preca ution
to brighten away SPIES at the same
moment he initiated the oft cadenced hiss
of the coral snake.
A similar hiss was heard from the cen
ter of the clump and seemed like an echo.
That is the chiefs signal" the Cana
dian said. He has been watching for US
there for nearly an hour. Do you now
believe that we are in safety"
Certainly: when Curumilla watches
over us we have no surprise to appre-
bend"
Let US talk then said Don Martial.

Whom are you abiding to-"

and clapped his hands thrice softly.
Immediately slight sound and gen
tie rustling of leaves was heard in a
neighboring thicket, and a man emerged.

Lnfch Key SuYragP.

Over in England the possession Of a
latchkey has lately been held in the
courts TO have an important bearing on
the electoral rights of man claiming
to be a householder. With US the
latchkey has grown SO universal as to
be no indication of a mans status, or
woman's either, for that matter. Not
so very long ago the American wom-
ans right to the latchkey was subject
for iOcular argument pro and con, but
women's latchkeys are now rs common
as mems. For an institution that dates
back only about seventy years the
latchkey has stepped with some sud-
denness into its place of a universal
necessity. Herald.
