observed Mrs. sPippin, when she noted
that Pippin was still cooked back in

stood preening herself in front of
the mirror.
After those observations of hers
Pippin started in and got busy at the
quick-change work. Even after giving
Mrs. Pippin half. hours handicap,
he'd have overtalsen her-except for
one thing. Mrs. Pippin asked him to
button her dress up the back. 1t al

This time 1t was a particularly tech

of stuff that had to be hooked. then

larger than cross section of a pea to
be jabbed into as many buttonholes
that were even smaller.
Pippin always trembles at the pos

through the buttons and buttonholes
may not come out even, and he Will
have to go through the entire French
maid job again from the beginning.
This time he was careful enough to
overcome that danger. but Mrs. Pip
pin made several disparaging remarks
about the clumsiness of masculine fin
gers. and Pippin felt deep mortifica-
ton because he realized that there
was truth in what the good wife said.
He was awkward He wondered why
1t was that he could button his own
shirts, and other garments, SO dex-

seemed SO battling
Then he noticed something. Turn

INTEREST IN HORSES
is ON THE INCREASE

IS ON THE INCREASE
Last year Iowa people had the
pleasure of seeing some of the great
est horses in the world. The exhibit
was par excellence the finest thing of
the kind ever attempted in connec-
ton with State air. The best
breeds were all represented. At the
state Fair at Des Moines this year,
Aug. 25-Sept. 2, the competition for
premiums will again be keen and it
will bring out the great studs from
all over the country.
A special effort is to be made in
arousing interest in the saddle horses
and Gen. John B. Castleman, of Ken
lucky, has promised to be present for
that purpose. He is known every
where among the lovers of fine
horses.
The speed department will be kept
up to its high standard and the very
best race meet of the year will be
given in front Of the great new am
phitheater.
A great feature will be "Penisa
Maid" the Iowa horse that last year
made such phenomenal record on
the eastern tracks and proved to be
the fastest trotter of the year. Her
record is 2:04a.
Another very interesting feature
will be the races between the four
fastest PAGERS in the world. who come
with Dan Patch to show what PAGERS
can do. The four will not only go
in races but will have great team
race-Hedgewood Boy and Lady
Maud against Minor Heir and George
Gano. The records of these four are
respectively: 2:O24. 2:O25 1854,
and 2:O2l.

It may be said without fear of con
tradiction that there is no custom sc
universal and so common to all peo
pies of the earth as that of kissing
The kiss is also one of the oldest, ii
not the Oldest, customs in the world
the Milwaukee Journal remarks. Its
origin dates back to period before
history was written and the kiss ap'
pears and reappears in various coun
tries and various ages in one guise or
another, either as demonstration of
love, mark Of affection, or sign of rev
erence or generation. The custom of
kissing may have originated with the
Jews, but it is more likely that it was
an old custom, even in the days of
Noah. 1t is altogether probable that
It had its origin in sort of "spon-
taneous combustion" in the Garden OF
Eden. But no mention is made in the
bible of an exchange of courtesy
through the lips in the Garden of
Eden, although the custom may have
been too old even then to deserve
even passing comment. AS custom
was completed and the repair pits
in the case of relatives and kissing on
the cheek in case of friends. The Gus
tom was widespread and was merely
a mark of affection and friendship.
Travellers having business with the
Jews came to admire the Jewish Gus
tom of kissing and helped to spread
the gospel of the kiss among the 9th.
er nations of the earth. The Romans
proved adept pupils of the Jews in
this respect and the custom of kissing
became flourishing institution among
the Romans at an early date
When kissing became the rage in
ancient Rome the significance attach.
ing to it was modified. 1t became Gus.
tomary for the early Christians to kiss
each other before the communion serv'
ice as an indication of brotherhood.
BY custom the kiss became gradual,
ly useful instrument, and it became
the prerogative of any one to kiss any
woman at sight The theory was that
as the use of wine and intoxicating
beverages was prohibited women by
law by kissing woman it was posi-
BILE to ascertain If she had broken the
law and imbibed from the flowing
bowl. 1t was great in those days to-
be a policeman in Rome. But some
how ugly women were never sus'
pected of having taken nip, and the
result was that all those naughty Ro'
mans stood around on the corners
waiting for pretty women to pass that
they might sample their breath and
their lips, too. This may or may not
be the origin of the corner loafer. OF
course, this promiscuous kissing be-
came a great evil and public nui-
sance, especially as crowds would
gather around good-looking women
and tie up traffic. The Emperor Au
gustus, as well as Tiberius, little
later, found 1t necessary to enact laws
prohibiting kissing on the streets, and
after the ordinances were enforced
the kiss was used in smaller doses,
much as 1t is used today. But the
Romans were the apostles of oscula-
ton and diffused the practise in con-
junction. with their war business.
From one end of the known world to
the other they licked the men folks
and kissed the women.
