Heavy Business Being Done at the

According to statement from

night the postoffice will be open un-
til Q O'Clock every evening until

While the buying has not been as
heavy generally as It was last year,
there are many of the merchants
who say that their busiess dur.
ing the past week has been just
as heavy as 1t was during the same
week of last year. Today was a
particularly busy one in all Of the
stores.
It has been expected that jewelers.
would suffer in particular from the
reported money famine, but local
men In that line OF business say
their sales nave been heavy.
Taken altogether, there Is no
reason to believe that this Christ
mas will not be just as happy in
Marion as any during the past
decade. Local churches are TAX.

The Perfect Kiss.

Why osculation has received so lit
tie attention from wise men we cannot
tell. 1t may be that thinking and kiss
ing go not well together. If so. few
Of us would require long time to choose
between them. or possibly the subject
has seemed to require too delicate
handling. or it may have seemed tri-
fling. We neither know nor care. The
most valuable practical lesson to be de-
rived from experience and now set
down is that closing of the eyes is es-
sential to perfection in kissing. Aside
from this hint to those of congenial
spirit we would merely direct the at
tention Of those who may decry the
Importance Of the topic to the influ-
ence of the charm in retaining hold

ports a Traveller of Englishmen.


ports a Traveller of EngIishmen.
Travellers returning from England
tell of two habits of the people of that
country which impressed them. One
is the average Englishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him.
''I don't know how it is in the Eng
lish houses" remarked one who has
toured England, for l was not in one
of them. But l stayed in a hotel in
London where there were a good many
English people. and a dozen times
daily l had to get up and shut a door
to keep the draft away.
at didn't make any difference
whether it was q servant or a guest
who went through. the door was left
open. This was in the spring of the
year. too. when the weather was chilly.
l noticed the same thing in railway
coaches and hotels of smaller towns"
The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with it's back to the engine
every time. plant himself down in it
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderingly at anybody who
picks out a seat facing the direction
the train is going. Not once did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose a seat facing the front
of the train unless there were no other
seats.-New York Sun.

Not What It Used to Be, at Least In
the Eating Thereof.
In the old days. when the world was
much better than it is now. there were
good watermelOns.
AS we remember them, the water
melons of twenty-five or thirty or thir-
ty-fve years ago were huge affairs.
They were none Of your overgrown
cucumber effects of today, but were
great big round fellows. and the out
side was a dark green. 1t was the
same shade of green as the reflection
of the trees in a swimming hole.
And when you sunk the knife into 1t
the rind ripped and cracked for two
inches ahead of the blade, and the
melon just laughed itself open.
Hold on! You didn't use knife.
You lifted the melon above your head
and dropped it to the ground, and 1t
burst open, as red as a rose ani a
hundred times as Sweet. And you ate
nothing but the heart-just the chunky
red heart.
Nowadays the marketman shows you
an oblong affair done in pale green
and greenery-yallery stripes, with a
white blotch on the underside, that he
calls a watermelon. And you cut 1t
into slices like bologna sausage and
eat it with a fork, like pie.
And you have forgotten whether a
watermelon goes plink-plink or plunk-
plunk when it is ripe, because II
doesn't make any difference now

FEAR IN BATTLE.
Frederick the Great Ran Away, and
Grant Was Afraid.

Some of the greatest soldiers whose
names adorn history's pages entered
their first battles with feeling Of fear
in their hearts.
Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at the battle Of MolwitZ. Had
he not been a king it is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat Of the car
mage he got an idea that the army un-
der his command was being over
whelmed, so he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild fight. Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discover
ed that the army he deserted had won
the battle.
AS Frederick was a prince, every
body tried to forget the incident just
as quickly as possible. And after that
when the king went to war he was
just as brave as any other soldier.
General Grant in his memoirs tells
US that, despite the fact that he was
not new to the ways of war, he had a
strange fear in his heart when as COM
mander Of the Union forces he found
himself on the eve of his first battle
Of the civil war. He adds, however,
that he came to find that ''the other
fellow" had a similar feeling.
In American history there is no more
reckless warrior than the dashing Light
Horse Harry Lee. It seems strange
therefore, to find that at the outset of
the Continental struggle Washington
had to reprOve him for his prudence
in battle. Lee, though, up and told
Washington that he was just as brave
as the general in chief. and he made
good his wOrd.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

that the sight of blood gave him a SEN

that reading or hearing of fracture of
