cupid and the Kiss

nm BY Sydney G. Haley.
GGk% OW, by my sacred Culver and Bow"
NNCried Cupid, Il should like to know
AJust why there is so much of bliss
In that small thing yclept Kissi
A Kiss, forsooth, transient touch
Methinks It's not so very much
That maids and lovers should incline
To prize it JOY divinev'
And so he pondered deep and long
One summer day, till evensong,
And thru the night until the break
OF day still found him wide awake
Perplex-ed DER the strangeness of
This clewless mystery of love.
W length when ready to forswear
HAV The bootless quest in sheer despair,
e1 There came happy thought "Dear me,
I know the very thingP' said he
''I'll make expert analysis
OF this mysterious thrill, the Kiss;
BY scientific means III find
The facts and thus inform my mind
How radiant delight and sin,
And rapture, may be 2ent therein"
- PRETTY plan 1t was. He sent
wAV For still, retort and instrument
- OF every kind. And then he caught
Some kisses. How the deed was wrought
I cannot say; act this suffice,
The Thing was done by deft device,
In shrewd and secret manner known
Unto the Little God alone.
And then, in tubes hermetical
With wary skill he sealed them all,
These fragile joys, and let them rest,
Securely stored, to wait the test.
Forthwith the rascal went to work.
And toiIed and travelled like Turk,
And swore by that and vowed by this
That he'd Investigate the Kiss
And ascertain its true content
BY chemical experiment
Rash braggartI When the task was done
He had his trouble for his fun
"Small moisture, and trace Of air,
Some warmth" and nothing else was therel
This was the formula complete,
And Cupid had to own defeat;
For how could clumsy science capture
The THOUGHT that gave the Kiss It's rapture,
The transport and the thrill of sense
That rapt and heavenly confluence
OF souls when each to other slips
At greeting of beloved lips2

that water will be delivered on these
lands before the spring of 1910.
Water for the Dietrich lands is
diverted from the Little Wood river
at point opposite the town of Rich
field, and the main canal for this
tract will have a capacity for water
ing $4,000 acres of land, and will be
about 20 miles in length The wat

this tract through the Richfield canal

onto the Dietrich lands. The con-

been let and the entire system will
be completed in the spring of 1910.

along the side, and large tower like

main floor will be the Office, a large

a large, we'll lighted kitchen, entirely
shut off from the dining room so that
kitchen odors can not pass through.
There will be a barber shop, buffet,

On the second floor will be a la

upper floor is to be the exact dupli-
cate of the second floor, with the ex-
ception that it has 1 more Der room,
with the parlor on the
second uoor. There are a number of
rooms connected en- suite-on each
floor there is one suite of four that
could be used together if desired
and there are many rooms with pri-

baths on each floor. All the plumb

Dany, are, of course, most interested
n Richfield and it's rapidly increas-
ng interests, as we'll as in its future
