 price of a kiss some distinction must un- doubtedly be made. In no few cases the price has been death. Not many years ago there was known throughout the United States a famous beauty, whose kiss was believed to almost invariably re- suit in the death of the person kissing her
 How the germs of deadly diseases may be imparted from one person to another by kissing has become generally known.
 A curious incident was brought to light al Augusta, Ga, last fall, when Miss Nan Bryant. a pretty girl of Graniteville, s. c., went to the hospital for treatment for blood poisoning, which had been con- tracted through a wound in her lip.
 'Theodore kissed me- she confessed, and in doing so he bit my lip" Theo- core was her sweetheart
 When recently epidemic of diphthe- ia broke out at Maiden, Mass, the school committee and superintendent ordered that the habit of kissing should cease The ban was especially placed on kissing games, to which, it is said even higf school boys and girls were addicted
 There is town in Berkshire, England the town of Hungerford-where the Hook tide festival each April Is celebrated main ly by a kissing custom, centuries old Certain officials, chosen for the occasion, held court, collect the tithes and claim :. kiss from the woman of each house they have to visit during the ceremony
 Curously, neither the woman nor their husbands object to the custom. In this instance the kiss has a decided value, for there is great rivalry for the positions.

shown by the disposition of recent case in which Dr. Charles w Wilson, of the prominent physicians of Montreal, was the defendant. Before his arrest Dr. Wilson had been roughly used by A. T. Severance of New York city.
 With a party of friends MT. Severance and his young daughter were sitting in the corridor of a Toronto hotel, when Miss Severance suddenly exclaimed, He kissed mel pointing to Dr. Wilson, standing over her Although pleading in toxication the doctor was sentenced to spend seven days in jail
 Charles Seymour of Winstead Conn, was fined s20 for a kiss which he never got. He was fined for an alleged attempt to kiss Miss Annie B. Cambridge. an or ganist at the Hartford Union Baptist church.
 According to at least one police officer, a woman should be taught the value or kiss to the extent of being sent to Jall if she permits herself to be osculated m public. This is the inference to be drawn from an incident in Philadelphia some time ago.
 Policeman Corners came upon MT. and Mrs John Dietz dhey were newly mar riedl intently kissing each other, as he charged. on a street corner, and prompt ly Iran them in.'
 'sWhy did you arrest the lady?' he was asked, and he replied: For letting her self be kissed in public But the magistrate in this case thought differently and dismissed the couple, with a reprimand thrown in for the police- man.
 That it is no crime to hug and KISS a girl while sitting on a doorstep proVlueu she is willing was the ruling of New work judge recently.

ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan Of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor World.)


Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor WORLDLY
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, if Mr.. Bryan shall be elect
ed President, his plans for revision OF
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr.. Bryan is the progressed
enemy Of the tariff system. lie would
impose duties, If at ALL for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit In import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course, his hope
is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia, etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth OF for
eign goods in the competitive class COM
ing into the United States on revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods, thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth hirl in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should be In force 1t would fall alike
upon all sections Of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in the degree Of hardship
imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election Of Sena-
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
industry? Or the publication Of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
of the world when we have not suffi-
cient demand to consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi-
can rule we have just had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period, long or
short.

BRYAN's POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE.
Mr.. Taft Compares Republican and
Democratic Platforms.
(From Mr.. Taft's Speech of Accep-
tance

The chief difference between the Re
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Roosevelt's policies
have been progressive and regulative !;
Mr.. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. Roose-
Welt has favored regulation of the BUSH
ness in which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business TO continue. The tendency
of Mr.. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re-
spect TO which he is demanding reforra.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in lawful
manner and secure the benefits of their
operation and the maintenance of the
prosperity of the country of which they
are an important part: while Mr..
BRYAN would extirpate and destroy the
entire business in order TO stamp out
the evils which they have practiced
