conspicuous examples are
too impressive to call for census Of
the crowds, although, what with the
diamond trust whooping up the price
of engagement rings and the hens or
ganized to elevate their yearly output,
the kiss market has gone up even In
France, where it was supposed to let
happiness radiate, free as air, with
out costing more than compliment
The conspicuous examples that
stand out in history as expensive kiss
es-like those Antony obtained from
Cleopatra and Jacob earned from La
bans attractive daughter-are being
paralleled nowadays on the wholesale
scale, with women figuring pretty
prominently among the buyers, al
though the men, as usual, are the
more daring operators.
Very often the price that is actual.
ly paid reaches level far above the
original valuation. Adonis may be per.
suaded, after long youthful timidity,
to let Venus have lock of his hair
as souvenir of their meeting, and it
turns out that he has sacrificed his
immortal soul.
Whether the soul of the latest and
most romantic Adonis, Manuel of Por-
tugal, went into limbo with his neat
little throne, must be settled between
Manuel and the recording angel in the
future; but Paris and Portugal had
very decided opinions. at the time of
the one-night revolution, that it was
the kiss Of Mile. Gaby Deslys that
cost him the throne.
Just Boy King.
To look at Mile. Gaby the average
man might confess to a willingness
to sacrifice bouquet or two or the
front seat in the motor car for a few
kisses; but he would think several
times before he would take chance

many illusions of a cold, uninhabltable

a most remarkable picture OF this In

Office Kept in a Box.

A man who actually carries his office
in his hand is the railroad conductor
said one of the fraternity, who runs
into Portland. Usually it is box
specially made and ornamented with
bright brass trimmings and brass
handles and the conductors name
neatly engraved on d brass plate.
When his trip is finished you will see
him leave the train carrying his office
with him. The railroad has no rent tc
paw him, and yet he is one of the BUSH
est Of employees, with many accounts
to keep:
In this hand office of the conductor :

is a model of neatness and compact
ness. There is a place in his office
for all the tickets collected, an envei-

out with particulars Of the run.
His portable office when opened Is
transformed into a little desk, having

The INQUEST ON uZZIAH,

Trial for heresy. formerly frequent
enough IS an uncommon thing today.
We have grown away from strict dis
ciplinartanism in church as we have
from doctrinal discussion. The trial
of DR.. Grant by the Presbyterians thus
attracts greater attention by the reason
that It is g. trial for heresy than be-
cause OF what DIR. Grant may have af-
frrned or denied.
To the avera ge man Grants heresy
is not startling. He asserted that it
was physically impossible for Christ to
have stood on the pinnacle Of the
temple at Jerusalem and been tempted
OF satan and suggested that Uzziah who
covenant must have had an aneur-
Ism or burst bloodvessel in his head"
He Is said to have denied the existence
Of a personal devil and expressed the
belief that Ananias and his wife died
of heart disease, etc, etc.
Now there is no reason why DR.
Grant should not be refused standing
as g. minister if he does not conform
to the doctrines and belief Of the church
he represents. II strict belief that An
ranias was struck dead by the hand of
Cor for lying is part Of the church
foundation DR.. Grant should either ac-
cept 1t or get out without waiting to
be thrown out. The tenets and beliefs
of the church are subscribed to by the
minister and the member. II either
finds himself unable to conform to
them he should, it would appear, find
more congenial Fellowship. That Is the
strict construction.
But the hereto usually has the best
Of it. Most progress inside and out of
churches has ben led by heretics and

organization grows about the feet of
.&h0se who stand still and search with

short time to do 1t In for this genera
ton to bother much over whether
Uzaiah died Of apoplexy or under the
Immediate wrath Of the Almighty.
There are so many children to care for,
so many who need help, so much which
is wrong to be righted and 50 much of
ferenttal inquest on Uaziah who has
been dead since solomon, seems time
lost and energy wasted. This age is
the most truly religious of any, for its
religion is active and virie in results
1t looks forward TO building men more
than temples, to those who are to be
and how they shall live. rather than
to tzziah and how he died.
