ROOSEVELT AND AGITATION.

M R. ROOSEVELT has earned such repu-
4 tation for strenuosty and stirring things
that it NAV be difficult for him to live up to it,
If he does not keep up a constant agitation after
he gets back will he not be said to be losing his
grip? Every act of his indicating rapid pace
has been dwelt upon and exaggerated until one
would think that he a human automobile
running away.
If the former President takes a walk on the
deck of ship he goes rapidly that all his
companions are forced 70 retire exhausted to
their berths.
In Africa he was strenuous that his camp
followers could not follow him. Happily the
ship on which he sailed did not become excited
and turn turtle while Roosevelt was on it,
If the sky scrapers in New York today DO not
become moving and speaking pillars of fire, some
folk will be disappointed. The eX-President
agitated the country while in the White House
and he will have to make bigger stir than he
did then or the excitement hunters will fear that
he has gone stale.
The principal occupation of the former Presi-
dent therefore, if he wants TO continue TO be
mental cocktail for the crowd must be in think
ING OF some new form of excitement Few people
could stand the strain that this demand for ex-
element puts upon the eX-President. Perhaps
ne is prepared for blowout Of the commoton,
and perhaps he will disappoint the sensation
mongers by settling down and attending NO ms
own affairs for a time.

KISSING IN ENGLAND

Kissing seems to be natural at tribute between the sexes. It is not surprising. therefore. to find many good stories concerning il. Not the least interesting is the one to which tradition attributes the introduction of the custom to England This records, according to the chronicle of Win senius, how Cortigern. the British monarch. gave grand banquet to his Scandinavian allies. Among the guests was the Princess Rowena. d beautiful daughter Of King Hengist of Fries land. who toward the close of the proceedings, saluted the host. after the manner of her people. with q kiss. Even in those days the people of our tight little island" were as keen as they are now in taking to their hearts any new idea that seems of good re- port and therefore. it lis not aston ishing that the new form of salute at once caught on Not only did it extend to intimate friends. but it be- came the duty of male guests to kiss all the ladies of the houschold-a GUS tom which is said to have been in vogue even as late as the Georgian period One wonders how such d custom would stand the wear and tear of our own times. when the ceremonial shake of the hand is con sidered sufficient salutation. But oth CT times other ways. and we question if the practice of days of old in this matter. if revived. would have q very long or very vigorous existence. Be that as 1t may. it is the fact that our ancestors used to kiss as their favor ite form of salutation. Both on the arrival and departure of q visitor he implanted a hearty kiss on the cheek of his hostess and every other lady in sight in the house. Although it was an every day episode among English people. foreigners viewed it with as tonishment. but. nevertheless, quickly became converts to il. No less man than Erasmus. when made acquainted with the custom. became quite enthu- siastic about it.
 Today. although we do not use the kiss as d salutation to all and sun dry. one comes across many pretty instances of it's bestowal case in point occurred at Derby in 1896. when the Princess of Wales tnow Queen Alexandria, performed one of those womanly acts which have had much to do with endearing her to the ma tion. The late Sir Henry Keppel, then in his S7th year. was taken to pay his respects to the princess. As the old and beloved sea dog reached the princess he bowed to her where upon she leant forward and kissed him on the top of his bald and shiny head This charming compliment SO affected Sir Henry that he could not refrain from tears-and then 1t was that he discovered he was handller chiefless. This seemed q sorry end ing to pretty episode, but the situ- ation was saved by the kindness of a waiter. who lent a clean handkerchief to the weeping admiral.-London Globe
