Cairo, Ill, July Rev. l.. D.
Bass, whose sermon ON the evils of
kissing is ringing through all the
young ladies' seminaries, presumably
renewed his attack on the kiss demon.
The kiss devill is doing more to fill
III AIDES than the whisky devil the drug

ed into one,u said DR.. Bass, who is
pastor of Calvary Baptist church here.
he continued:
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 kiss a
girl was rightly considered as great a
wrong as could be committed against
her. Such an attempt was gross in
suit and the man who Offered it and
the young. woman's father or brother
met With pistols at the next sunrise.
Let youngllovers hold each others
hands in token of pure affection. And
W hen they part the man msy,perhaps
bring his sweetheart's tender hand to
his..lips for fleeting, gentle, respectful
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 eee
trieity, the one positive and sthe dbH
negative, and the result is, III ceral
cases, ian emotional explosion aud
cloudburst o. excessive passion and
ecstacy. A kiss goes straight, like the
galvauic battery, to the heart, and the
weaker party is always paralyzed un-
der the blow, whether for good Grill or
| for veal or woe.
Nothing has moro of Heavens freOr
the fire of hell in it than the kiss ola
lover or Ola villain, and the first step
OF the fiend incarnate in order to de-
stroy the innocent but deluded victim
in his clutches is to get his lips to hers
The lips are often the gate to the eta
del of virtue in the young and loving
heart, and thousands have surrender
ed the fortress of character TO the
thrilling kiss of the licentieus libertlne
who well knows its psycholgic and

Romance Shors-Lfved.

Roanoke, Va, July 10.-Rev. John
Whitworth, Roanoke Methodist preach
er; who ten days ago married his di-
vorced wife after separation of five
years, has for the second time been de-
serted by his spouse.
1t was while suit was in progress
for the possession of the two children
of the couple at Rocky Mount two
weeks ago that Mrs. Whitworth fell
in love with her former husband and
reconciliation was effected. The suit
was stopped, and two days later the
parties were again married. They came
to Roanoke to live, and last Satur day
went back to Franklin county to get
the two children.
I The Whitworths reached the Aler
home after dark. The father of Mrs.
Whitworth met his daughter and SON
in-law at the door only to tell them
that they could not enter his house.
Fin ally the old man yielded to his
daughters pleading and admitted her,
but barred the door against Whit
| worth, and warned him not to attemp pit
| to cross the threshold. Whitworth
| spent the night out of doors, and wait
ed about the place all day Sunday to
see his wife.
| Monday Mrs. Whitworth informed
| her husband that she would remain
with her parents until Tuesday, and
insisted that Whitworth return to
Roanoke, saying she would follow
with the children. The next day Whit
worth came back. to Roanoke, and
waited for his wife, but she did not put
in her appearance. Today he received
word from her that she void not come
back 10 Roanoke, and would not again
live with him. She declared she would
stay with her parents, and keep the
children.
Seven years ago Whitworth, a young
minister in the Baltimore Methodist
Conference, welded Miss Jennie Aler,
daughter of wealthy Franklin coun-
ty farmer and lumber man. Shortly af-
ter their marriage they were sent as
missionaries to Indian Territory, and
it was while living in the West that
the young preachers health failed and
they returned to Roanoke, bringing
with them two little girls. Mrs. Whit
worth took the babies with her to visit
her parents and did not return. She
got divorce, alleging nonsupport.
Then fight was begun for the child
ZEN.
While Whitworth WAS on the Wit
ness stand his former wife sent him
word that she still loved him. Next
day Whitworth appeared at the Aler
home with preacher to marry them,
but old man Aler vowed the ceremony
should not be performed. But he relent->
ed, and the wedding took place. Whit
worth blames the whole trouble on the
father-in-law

This Young Woman Human Pin
Cushion.

Miss Mollie Dressler, who has the
habit of absorbing needles with the
same enthusiasm other young women
display ia the consumption OF lobster
and nesselrode pudding, is dong very
nicely at the Lebanon Hospital, says
the New York World. Her friends VIII
be pleased to learn that siXty-six and
half needles were taken from her and
that there are only few more to draw
| from her ears and eyebrows.
1t was only last March that the sur
geons of Bellevue extracted 100 needles
from Miss Dressler. Why she eats
needles is a poignant mystery. Her
friend, Mrs. Morgenthal has puzzled
over it for months without even APP
preaching solution. Whenever she
pressed Miss Dresslerfor an answer
she would smile blandly and reply as
she daintily drew few needles out of
her chin.
"Pshaw, it is just q careless little
way | have.n Then she would MUNICH
package or SO and go on with her
sewing.
According 10 Mrs. Morgenthal the
habit has grown on Miss Dressler- At
first she would take into her person
only half dozen or so and then wait
for them to crop out. She seemed TO
take pleasure in the surprlsest they gave
her, some sproutingfrom her toes and
others popping their eyes out Of the
back of her leck.
All seemed to come to the surface
eventually, and it soon became sort
of little game with her. But when she
swallowed full package of 100 last
March the adventure of the needles i'll
her system became serious matter.
She tainted several times as the tiny
slivers of steel cruised about and short
circuitei divers nerve centers.
Nevertheless, she objected to trip
to the hospital.
~ will not take any more for few
days." she said, s'and / know that
those L can now feel making little cold
shivers inside of me will come out just
as surely as Bo Peeps lambs came
home with their little tails pinned up
neatly where they ought to be-"
Miss Dressler was always facetious
about the needles and drove the sur
geons at Bellevue to distraction. They
even had her examined for her sanity,
but she stood the test beautifully.

Miss S. Belle Chamberlain, State
Superintendent of Schools, favored
Maverick with a call while in
town the past week. Miss Cham
bcrlain is an unusual woman in
many respects. She is particular
ly liberal in her SUFFRAGE views
and stated that while woman was
granted the privilege of the vote
still she should not overstep her
limits and enter the masculine
circles where she would lose her
influence and the respect due her
sex. Miss Chamberlain is cspc-
cially enthusiastic in her work and
is very anxious that Idaho
should have the best school system
in the union. She will attend the
superintendent convention in
Chicago this winter where she
hopes to gain new ideas which may
be of value in the present school
system of the state. She stated
that considerable trouble was met
in enforcing the school laws regard
ing school attendance especially in
sections where children were en-
ployed in the production of sugar
bects, but she was determined tc
have the requirements of the Law
fulfilled and was giving .districts
and county superintendent al
the support in her power.
She expects to visit the school:
again before the close OF the presen
school year when something abou
the convention at Chicago ane
the benefits derived from the meet
| ing will be learned.

The citizens of Mountain Home

do not compare favorably with 1906
to date. Jobbing and wholesale

manufacturing operation are cur

normal demands. Returns of big
iron production indicate little more
than halt the furnace capacity in
operation, steel mills and textile
factories have added to the percent
age of idle machinery, shoe shops
work only part time, but some
railway extensions have been re-
sumo. The supply of labor has
not increased in ratio to the closed
plants, however, owing to emigra-
tion about double that of last year.
Railway earnings thus far avail
able for the first week of December

Annual Meeting
Of Sheep Men

The annual meeting of the sheep
men of this section to confer with
Supervisor Grandjean of the Saw
tooth Forest reserve with regards
to the allotment OF portions of the
reserve to the different sheep own
crs was held in the Commercial
club rooms last Saturday, and w as
attended by about forty interested
parties.
The appointment of range was
effected without friction end the
tact Of the supervisor was such as
to bring about general satisfac-
ton among the wool growers who
represent the greatest industrial
interest in this section.
There will not be as many
sheep on the Sawtooth reserve as
were allowed last year, a general
cut of ten per cent being made on
bands of over 5000 scep. 1t is the
policy of the reserve service to keep
the range in an good condition as
possible and to so arrange the dis
tricts as to allow the grass chance
to make new growth without be-
ing destroyed by too severe use.
There were very few applications
for range from new men. Several
Boise owners were in attendance
to secure ailotnents on the reserve.
Supervisor Grandjean had the
assistance in this work of Forest
Rangers Mccoy, Blair, York and
others, who throughout the year
are in personal charge of the re-
serve and whose duty it is to patrol
the same and enforce the regula-
tiops of the service.
With proper regulation the i'm
mensc pastures in the reserve may
be used for years without injury tc
the interests of anyone and it is
gratifying to note that the WOO
growers are so happily in accord
with the forest reserve policy, as
was SO fully indicated at then
meeting here Saturday.
