A Fish Story From The North.

We were camping in Northern Wis
consin and one evening after our sup
per of black bass and bacon We lay
under the pine trees smoking and tell
ing fish stories in which it was Always
the bigger bass" that got away, says
a writer, in the Chicago Tribune.
Our guide listened with the gravity OF
a man who knew all about fish stories.
and finally be knocked the ashes from
his pipe and told US story.
"Ouce, long ago." be said, "there
was a terrible big trout up in Smiths
pool. Every fellow who 6shed in the
pool had hooked him one time or other
but he always got away, bit of the
snood or something.
"I tried to catch him myself doz-
en- times. One day | was sitting by
the pool when splash, young robin
futtered out of the nest on limb
above the pool into the water. In a
minute there was a rush. q CLEAN Of
yellow and the old trout had thrown
himself clear out of the water and had
swallowed the young robin whole.
what did l do1 Well, / climbed
that tree in short order, got another
one of those young robins, baited my
hook with it and then threw it in just
as lightly as l could. In a minute
there was another rush, another CLEAN

jumped clear out IF the water as ne

more lad him hooked.

me a devil of time to get him out.
Good to eat Great Scott ! We
didn't try to eat him. He was so full
of hooks we sold him for old iron, you
know"
That ended our fish stories for that
night.

Rev. DIR. Bass hits the kiss Devil.

Rev. D. L. Bass, Cairo, H., whose
sermon on the evils of kissing is ring
ing throughlall the young ladies' SEM
inaries presumably, renewed his at
tack on the kiss demon Sunday.
The Misses Gertrude Reilly, Edith
English, Wayne Sanderson, Elizabeth
Powell, Fannie Franklin and Ethel
Walker, all of Cairo, express strong
doubts of a successful crusade rgainst
the demon of OSCILLATION.
"The kiss devil lie doing more to
fiji Hsdes than the WhiskeY Devil,
the Drug Devil and all the other dew
lis rolled into one" said DR.. Bass,
who is pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church. Lovers should never kiss
each other until they are married. In
the days of our grandparents, in the
Southern States at least, an attempt
to kris girl was rightly considered
great, wrong as could be committed
against her. Such an attempt was as
gross insult, and the man who offered
it and the young .womsn's father or
brother met with pistols at the next
sunrise.
"I,et young lovers hold each others
hands in token of their pure affection.
And when they part the man may
perhaps bring his sweetheart's tender
hand to his lips for Aeeting, gentle,
respectable pressure. But that should
be all.
There is something wonderfully
magnetic and thrilling in the kiss.
When two sets of lips come together
it is like two clouds charged with
electricity, the one positive and the
other negative, and the result is, in
certain cases, an emotional explosion
and cloudburst of excessive passion
and ecstacy. A kiss goes straight'like
the shock Of a gallant battery to the
heart, and the weaker party is always
paralyzed under the blow, whether
for good or i'll or for veal or woe.
Nothing has more of heavens fire
or the FIRE of hell in it than the kiss
of lover or of villain, and the first
step of the Gend iDc4rnate in order to
DESTROY the innocent but deluded VIC
tim III his clutches is to get his lips to
hers. The lips are often the gate to
the citide, of virtue in the young spd
loving heart, and thousands have sur
rendered the fortress of character to
the thrilling kiss of the licentious
libertine, who well knows its psyche
logic and dynamic power when affec.
lions and confidence have been won in
woman's heart. Great God deliver
US from the kissing Devil !"
The Rev. DR.. Bass, though aSouth.
erner, has Puritan blood in his veins
He is a descendent of Samuel Bass,
who settled in Massachusetts in 1880.

duty to make the drive as entertaining

she wished to enjoy undisturbed-and
to tell her who lived in certain houses

Kemble, being unable to stand it any
longer, said in the high tragedy man

Napkins, shirts and collars OF the
