Mrs. Calvin N. Gabriel, a promi

kissing should be abolished. The
utter meaningless of the perform
ance should have killed the kiss long
ago. Open sewers and such things
are bewailed and bemoaned, but one
OF the most dangerous practices, one
that constantly endangers health. is
allowed TO flourish on account of the
mere maudlin sentiment that sur
rounds this form of caress.

The ethics of public law as study
in negative morality is within easy
reach Of children. Out of it could be
worked the facts that public law as a
rule prescribes punishments but not
rewards, and that the great body OF
the law under which we live is UNI
written; and these facts would open up
another large field of study, which
could be rounded off with proof that
the good man is a law unto himself.

TALKED ON FLAG DAY.
Mrs. o. Il. Moore Made Address at
Durango, Colo.

Mrs. o. L. Moore made the ad-
dress at the flag day exercises at
Durango, Colo, June IA. The Herald
Of that city says:
MRS. Ida w. Moore, the national
secretary of the W. R. G. gave an
eloquent and interesting account OF
the work of the W. R. c., tracing
the early history of the organization
its connection with the G. A. R. and
also a thrilling resume of scenes In
the four terrible years Of the Civil
war from 1851 to 1864. The speak
er also reviewed visit to Kissimac,
Fla, and mentioned interesting de-
tails of work done there. Mrs. Moore
is a good speaker, with a fine stage
presence, and the ability to hold an
audience. One Of the most attrac-
tive parts of her address was the
singing Of the old songs, such az
.'RaIly Round the Flag, Boys" John
Browns Body" and "Just Before
the Battle, Mother" by the choir,
the audience joining in the chorus,
at intervals during her speech.
mrs. Moore arrived last night
from Aztec, where she spent a lew
days with her brother, Editor =. r
Wilson of the Aztec Index. This
morning Mrs. Moore left for Alamoss
where she viii stay over to visit the

At W. L. Cooley's an intruder
was discovered on the porch and
under the windows about II o'clock
last night. Sheriff Young was call
ed and the bloodhounds were put on
the trail. They followed the trail
to the east part Of town, then lost
it. This was the third time visitor
of this sort has been found outside
the Cooley house.
At G. G. Dahnke's man was at
tempting to enter by the rear door
when discovered by O. neighbor. The
sheriff tried the bloodhounds here
also but after a long chase the trail
was lost in a corn field northeast of
town.
Several of these stories being told
today have brought to light many
other incidents Of like nature which
have happened in the past week, but
which were not reported. With all
the burglary and night prowling
which has ben going on lately, care
should be taken in locking doors and
windows,
The officers are doing all in their
