II EBERT CAHIET and Flip Burnian
| met every day at Tournebride,
~ an inn situated about halfway
| between the two hamlets which consti-
] tute the town.
Every day they played piquet over
| their schoppen of beer, smoking their
pipes OF Obourg tobacco. One of them
came from High Sugny and the other
! from Lower Sugny; two hamlets that
| had been rivals from time immemo-
rial Bebert was a partisan of the
priest and Flip Of the mayor, but
though priest and mayor were at dag
gers drawn, Bebert and Flip were bos-
ON friends
Bebert thought a game of piquet a
tedious affair if he did not play
against Flip. And as for Flip; if Be
bert was not there. he played his cards
without enthusiasm or passion Flip
was always astonished at Bebert's tao
tical skill, while Bebert admired Flip's
courage. Each of them thought the
other without a peer.
This was why the two chums met
every day at Tournebride, as if there
had never been any enmity between
their two boroughs. And still, as
Tournebride did not belong to any of
the boroughs, the people Of High Sug-
ny sco1ded Bebert for patronizing an
inn which was outside his own village
and the people of Lower Sugny criti-
cised Flip for the same reason.
But the two partners found that no
place had as good beer as Tourne-
bride, and nowhere else did they feel
so much at home. At Tournebride they
were never disturbed by the political
squabbles of their fellow citizens. The
host who was neutral did not favor
one or the other party. Nobody knew
for whom he voted.
One must not think, however, that
Cahiet and Burnian never quarreled.
When Bebert lost too much he began
to talk about the rabble of Lower Sug-
ny and Flip paid him back by ridi-
culing High Sugny.
If Flip was out of humor he leased
Bebert and then the discussion often
threatened to end in fisticuffs. Some-
times they parted, swearing they would
never look at one another again, but
two days afterwards, happening to
meet at Tournebride, they would sit
down at their usual table, smoking
their pipes, drinking their schoppen
ard playing their game of piquet as IL
nothing had happened, each carefully
avoiding saying anything that might
hurt the others feelings, both afraid
Of having gone too far and of having
offended his old chum. AS long as
both remembered thes little quarrel
they were exceedingly friendly towards
one another and treated one another
to schoppens without number
But one day a quarrel became more |
bitter than ever before. A municipal !
election was approaching. The local |
Montagues and Capulets were in fierce |
combat. AS the 'pipeheads" had forced |
Bebert to accept a nomination, the |
'turnips' decided to make Flip one of /
their candidates. The rival musical /
societies, ''the Harmony" and "the Fan |
fare" marched through the district, |
filling the air with martial airs.
Each at the head of his clan of fol- /
lowers, the two partners met in the
public square of High Sugny. They |

would both rather not have met. but
now that they did, they forgot all
/ about their friendly games at Tourne-
! bride, and began to heap insults upon
one another. Flip who ran short of
arguments, began to make fun Of Be
bert's rather ugly nose, and Bebert re-
torted angrily:
And if your looks do not improve
before you die, Burnian, Saint Peter
will think you an escaped convict when
you come to the gates of heaven"
Annoyed at the outDurst of laughter
which greed this remark. Flip shook
his fist under Bebert's nose, but for
tunately the village constable inter-
fered and the two chums parted with
out coming to blows,
Both of the two candidates were de-
feated, as the innkeepers turned against
them because they patronized Tourne-
bride instead Of their local inns
That is the reward you get for TAX
ing an interest in the politics of your
borough each of them said to himself
with some bitterness.
When they had once more taken
up their regular habits, they both went
to Tournebride, each Of them saying
to himself, thinking of the other:
Because I have had quarrel with
49, - NJ ACdSOH WHY l. SHOULD
go to an inn I do not like. I am not
afraid of him"
They met not without emotion. and
reconciliation soon came. They were
both so eager for 1t, that after empty
ing a goodly number of schoppens, they
swore they would never part until
death; and not even then. and to carry
out this oath they both went to a no.
tary and made their last will and testa-
ment.
Flip was an old bachelor and Bebert
a child1ess widower. Each left his
whole fortune to the other and a clause
was inserted in each document accord
ing TO which their graves were to be
close together in the local cemetery and
should be connected by an opening in
which should be placed a beer jug,
Two mugs, two clay pipes and deck
of cards
To make sure that their wish was
carried out they had the tombs built
at once and personally supervised the
construction.
Flip died first from an apopIectic
stroke and Bebert followed him soon
afterwards Both are now in their
graves and on a slab of marble be-
tween the two collins the jug, mugs,
pipes and cards are ready. and people
who visit the cemetery say that every
time they pass the twin graves they
distinctly hear the voices of Bebert

Self Governing Cities

in which Italy never was Babylon.

with these cities? In relatively recent
times we saw Napoleon extinguishing

inviolate and to keep her first kiss as
a precious Jewel to give as a wedding
present to her husband.

that a girl kisses every man that comes
along is a sign of her having an affec-

III WO young men have written me a
letter in which they ask me to
settle dispute that has arisen
between them.
The point at issue is whether a girl
who kisses a young man, to whom she
is not engaged to be married, displays
thereby an affectionate disposition or
not. A contends that she does. and
asserts that he would not marry any
woman who did not like to kiss, while
B takes the opposite position on the
subject.
AS far as my opinion is concerned
I should say that any girl who kisses
man to whom she is not betrothed-
and the wedding day set-shows that
she has an exceedingly affectionate
temperament. Entirely too affectionate.
! Dangerously affectionate. 1t likewise
shows that she is utterly lacking IN
maidenly modesty and delicacy. And it
indicates that she is a great many kinds
Of a fool
If 1 were a man, 1 would no more
pick out for wife the girl that would
let any man with whom she had cas-
ual acquaintance kiss her than I would
go to a florist shop and buy the bat
tered, bruised, over blown roses that
had had their freshness rubbed off by
too much handling. The girl and the
rose with the bloom on them for mine
every time.
Only Contempt for Such Girl.
This is also the opinion Of most men.
1t takes q man of very undiscriminating
taste TO really care for a girl whose lips
are free to every Tom, Dick and Harry
who comes along. OF course, as long
as a woman is young and good looking
and has a nice red mouth pouted to a
Cupid's bow, every man viii kiss her
who can; but such kisses only make
him have contempt for the girl. and
ready to believe airy evil he may hear
of her.
That kind of a girl is not the sort Of
a woman that a fastidious man wants
to marry. His wife must have kept
her lips as austereIy pure as those OF
a saint; for every man. in love, is a
monopolist, and his eternal creed is that
his lady love shall be fire to him, and
ice to every other man.
Tt is a pity that girls do not under
stand this, and how they cheaper them
selves by permitting familiarities from
men. It is thousand pities that they
do not understand that the higher they
hold themselves the more precious they
become, and the more they refuse men
tokens of affection the more eager are
they for them. A man win risk his life
