President Crumpton of Montgomery presided. and the other members present were P. C. Ratliff, the Rev. pr. I. D. Steele. R. M. Goodall and s. D. Weakley.

NOT A CORPORAL DELIGHT.
Real Nature of the Kiss, as Viewed
by a Writer Who Has Clearly
Studied the Subject.

It is the fashion of the more bilious
moralists to put kissing among the
gross pleasures, with eating. yodling'
snoring and the use of tobacco; but
as a matter of fact, 1t is not corpor-
cal delight at all, says writer in the
Baltimore Sun. Its sole physical ac-
compartment indeed is a sensation
of suffocation, and this, as all viii ad-
init, is scarcely agreeable. No; the
insidious charm of the pastime must
be sought in its psychic effects-in us
marvellous and delightful interference
with the normal processes OF rauocl-
nation. A man kissed is man trans
figured and transmogrified. Let him
be the worst of misanthropes before
the sweet infringement of nose upon
nose, and he may yet emerge from the
turmoil a philanthropist One KISS,
properly stage managed, is enough TO
transform a pirate into poet, poll
tician into a philosopher, or vice YER
sa. One small kiss indeed, is sum
cient to turn a proud, demonstrating
bachelor into a servile married man

lamentable transformation possible, al

NEWEST USE FOR NAIL FILE.

A Philadelphia doctor has discov'
cred q brand new use for nall hle
which is likely to become much more
prominent than the old use. A short
time ago this doctor was guest at
dinner in one of Philadelphia most
exclusive houses. When the last
course had been served and the cigars
were being passed the doctor reached
down into his trousers and extracted
a penknife. Slowly he opened blade
Everybody gasped Could 1t be that
DR.. would so far forget himseh
as to manicure his nails at the table?
All watched with bated breath Slowly
the doctor reached out and secured
match which was near Misplace. Then
he deliberately struck his match on
the rough part of the nail file and lii
his cigar The suspense was over and
the doctor had not committed the
frightful breach of etiquette which his
associates had feared. Now the Gus
tom is spreading fast. for it is less ef-
fort than 1t is TO stand on one leg to
strike the match on ones shoe, and
decidedly more elegant than the time
honored method of striking IL on ones
trousers.

WINS FIGHT ON POINTS
Young corbett Defeats Reyes
Slashinq Ten Round Bout

New York, April S,-Young Corbett
tonight defeated Bert Keyes on points
in a slashing ripping fight before the
Fairmont Athletic club. In the 1G
rounds there was not lull and each
lad from the state was apparently
trying for knockout.
The fighting experts decided after
the contest that Young Corbett has
come back" into his own and is en-
titled to bout with anyone in his
class, including Battling Nelson. The
terrific rushes by Keyes had Corbett
reaching for his wind toward the end
but throughout the battle Corbett was
able to land with hard punches when
he desired.
Although the club house was prac.
tically surrounded by policemen the
members of the club had no difficulty
in entering. There was no interior
ence, as the club had taken legal
measures to secure protection against
this. There were several preliminary
bouts, all of short duration and the
semi-final contest brought together
Jack Ryan of Chicago and Jack Lad
bury of Australia. This pair boxed
six clever rounds so evenly that a
draw was the result Young Corbett
and Reyes were then introduced and
a few moments later the bout started.
