The regulation which provides that
upon the death of a soldier a COM
plete inventory OF his effects shall be
sent to his next of kin, gives rise to
an amusing incident at one of the
Southwestern army posts recently.
Private Blank having departed this
life, the officer in charge forwarded to
his wife in a small Ohio town an item

check off the artices that she desired,

due time the list was returned, accom-
panied by a letter asking that all the
articles except the one erased be for
warded. That one item had been SO
scratched. erased, and so blotted out
that it was entirely obliterated. The
officers curiosity was aroused, so he
referred to carbon copy. whereupon
he discovered that the indignant wild

History Of the Kiss.

The further away we journey from
days of Eve, the more assiduously
the world seems to have cultivated
the habit OF kissing; in other words.
Kissing is mark and test of civili-
zatlon. Before the coming of the
white man it apparently was totally
unknown among the Indians of Amer
lea and the savages of Africa and
Australia; out who shall trace its
beginning among the peoples of Eu-
rope and Asia? AS far as we NAV
go among these ancient white nations
we shall find no age when the highly
un-hygienic practice was not popular.
Indeed. Darwin attempts to trace it
back to the habit our Detailed ances-
tors had of grasping prey with their
teeth
This business of osculating became
so popular among the Greeks that it
is said many husbands, before start
out Tor the days work, compelled
their wives to eat garlic-a most
effective preventive, as we cannot
doubt. The Romans attempted to
be more cold-blooded and dignified.
They were at least more systematic
for they divided all kisses into three
kinds; the osculum, the kiss of friend
Ship; the basium, the kiss of cere-
mony and the suavium, the kiss of
love. All of which simply implies
that the Romans had three chances to
our one. The accidents, however,
were not in favor of a public display
of the business; spooning was decid-
edly bad form. Plutarch says that
Cato expelled the Senator Manlin for
kissing his wife in the daytime and
in the presence OF his daughter.
The same Plutarch is our authority
for the statement that Rome founded
the now antiquated custom OF wives
saluting their husbands with a kiss.
The women after sailing many seas
and reaching this place, refused to
follow their husbands further, and
under the leadership of Rome-a
new woman".burned the ship.
Then, says the historian, Rome in
vented this pleasant method of ap-
pleasing the wrath of the husbands;
and the remedy has been used with
considerable efficacy until compara-
lively recent years.

An Easy Mark for the Rube.

They were in the smoker of sub
urban train. The man with the re-
cedlng chin and the red necktie
was trying hard to scratch match
on the sole of his shoe A number of
the passengers nearest him watched
his fruitless efforts to ignite the
match, every one of them evincing
the greatest interest in the proceed
ing
When he of the receding chin and
red neckte had wasted perhaps one
dozen of the tapers a bull l-necked
person across the aisle could endure
the situation no longer.
Huh!'' he grunted. Don't you
know that you can't scratch match
OF that kind except on the box" ?
Whereupon the individual thus
rudely addressed shifted his cigar
from the one to the other side of his
mouth and muttered in reply:
Don't but in, my friend. l always
strike 'em this way"
But not those kind, mani yelled
the bull-necked one about three tones
higher.
Don't get unduly perturbed, Bill"
retorted the individual with the
matches. AS | said before. l invari-
ably light my matches in this manner
and l intend to do so in the present
instance, even if have to use every
match in the box; 'eh what?"
You're out OF mind!" vociferated
the other party to the discussion,
who by this time appeared to be on
the verge of apoplexy, SO distressed
was he by the Obstinacy of the
match-lighting person. "How many
times must | tell you that those
matches can be struck only on the
box! You might try till doomsday
and you couldn't strike 'em any other
way!" "Oh, yes, l can," calmly as
serted he of the red tie.
No, you can't" howled the bull
necked man. 81 have a fve-doller
bill that says you can't!"
YOU'RE on" said the person
with the matches.
Then. when the wager had been
duly. posted, to the astonishment of
all, the man with the red necktie
neatly demolished the box which had
contained his matches, took one side
of it, which he rubbed several times
against the sole of his shoe, and lit a
match as easily as you please! Which
feat being accomplished, he gathered
in his five and returned to the perusal
of magazine.
He of the bull neck gasped several
times, turned red, then blue, and
finally found his voice:
There's one of us born with every
tick of the clock" he said. mourn

Heavy humor that, and far fetched; /;
but the anecdote explains President
Taft's graciously humorous introduc=
ton of his wife to the Worlds Sun:
day School convention as "the real
President of the United States"
Our real rulers are not always
those who reign. The King of Eng
land, for instance, reigns, but does
not rule. Often some power behind
President, King or Governor is the
; real ruler.
In the United States the rule of
women over governmental affairs is
accomplished through their reign
over society, their personal qualities,
their legitimate use of them In pri-
vate channels. This social rnlership
of theirs over public men is recog-
nized as valid and valuable. 1t is i'm
piled in three phases: The hand
that rocks the cradle rules the
world''; Il care not who makes the
laws of nation if l may make it's
| songs; and IF the frame of the
mother be strong, her sons will
make laws for the people,"
Mrs. Taft finely illustrates how
women aid in making men great.
Mrs. Disraeli and Mrs. Gladstone
both pushed their husbands with all
their wealth and wit, and both men
freely acknowledged that the success
of their political careers owed not a
little to their wives. Mrs. Andrew
Jackson and Mrs. Andrew Johnson
played no small part toward their
husbands becoming President. Mrs.
Taft, as her husband inched his way
up, has been his true helpmeet every
