DENMARK'S POET TELLS
HOW TO LAND; IS KEPT OUT

Way of Earning His Keep 10
Too Precarious.

Too Precarfous.
NEW YORK, June 11.-Denmark's
poet, William Petersen. IL the unhap.
pest man In the world. When the o.
car H., OF the Scandinavian Line,
sailed 1t took Petersen to Copenhagen
free of cost.
For more than twelve years the
poet has lived in New York, and was
liked by all the Scandinavians here.
In fact, whenever there was a we'd
ding, a coming of age or any social
event Petersen was commissioned 10
write q poem or song for the occasion
In this way he has made his rent and
his living.
II was while he was returning 10
New York on the Oscar ii. a week ago
that he delivered a great Memorial
Day grafton aboard and composed a
poem that would inspire an Anarchist
with feelings OF loyalty to America.
The burden of the poem was a mes
sage to his countrymen telling them
to remember that upon their conduct
rested the respect In which Scandi-
navians are held by Americans. and In
asking them TO give a rousing cheer
for the land of the free. Petersen gave
his fellow voyagers sound advice as to
the best way to land here.

RELIGIOUS AND LEGAL KISSES.

hEliGIOUS AND LEGAL MISSES.
The kiss of peace, which was one
OF the earliest rites of the Christian
church, continues to do service In
some forms of worship to the present
day. II consists of kiss exchanged
by way OF greeting and In sign OF
Christian love, and Is used ceremon.

sions, especially in the eucharistic SER
vice, where it is introduced by the
words. Peace be with YOU" and the

so-called.
At the present time this ceremony
has been SO modified that II is done
rather In spirit than in deed.
But in the Greek church the Easter
kiss still survives in a delightful form.

pants quotes. The Lord Is risen. IN

peace Is exchanged at all times OF the
year, between persons Of the same
sex, put on Easter. by a special dis
pensation. It may be exchanged be-
tween persons of opposite sexes, when
IL is said to do thriving business.
AS a guarantee of good faith kisses
have been given in all ages on such
occasions as the taking of oaths, aud
on the examination OF witnesses, when
they have been required to kiss the
Bible to make the oath more binding.
This practice Continues in force IN
many countries at the present day.
The kissing OF hands once carried

this custom has been abolished. To
kiss the hand Of an elderly lady Is
still considered by some as q proper
demonstration OF veneration. =
In Athens the bride and groom at q
marriage ceremony kissed the fathers
OF the husband or wife, and this had
legal force as a part OF the marriage
ceremony.
In Turkey, at the present day, the
kiss OF generation Is bestowed upon
whatever has been touched by the
sultan, and a story Is told OF a viola
ton OF this custom which proved

American woman was one OF the

fan was carried back to its owner she
