class which submits to the empire

sports; the mystics, to a triumph Of
the will, victory Of mind over mat

KISS ANCIENT AS MANKIND
lar Now as II Was In the
Beginning.

The kiss is as old as mankind, says
recent authority on prehistoric
times and ways. at is the most an
cient custom in the world and prob
ably has the distinction Of being the
only one which is just as much in
fashion now as it was 10000 years
ago, in spite of all the crusades which
have been made against it at differ
ent times and in different places.
"There are those who claim it to
be merely survival of cannibalism,
and say that with the savage man
that particular demonstration of af-
lection meant only warning Of a
future festival. 81 like you well
enough to eat you, which 1 shall do
shortly was the rather uncomfort-
able meaning which went with his
kiss.
"Orientals, however, have in
dulged in the habit apparently from
the beginning of time, for their lit
erature and traditions as far back
rs they can be traced are full of it.
1t was current, too, among the an
cient Jews and has been sung by all
The poets, Solomon included. And
from all indications men who live
10000 years from now will probably
find it quite a much in vogue"

Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
Secretary of State, says:

"The chautauqua affords one Of the
best opportunities now presented the
public speaker for the discussion of ques-
tions of interest to the people. The au-
dience is a select one and always COM
posed of the thoughtful element of the
community, and as they pay admission
they stay to hear. believe that a con-
siderable part of the progress that is
now being made along the line of moral
and political reforms is traceable to the
influence of the chautauqua."
