WOLF RUN.

WOLt KUN, March 2Z.-SOmeOne
asked me the other day if believed
IN. girls letting the boys kiss them.
4 Now that sure was sumner. 1t
Sbeing the case that am not married,
/ did not now how to answer that
question, but later [ have come to
the conclusion that this wholesale
kissing business is wrong. Now girls,
you who read this, pardon me, but |
want to say that when you start in
the wholesale kissing business, YOU
are holding yourself mighty cheap,
and that is in my estimation the
worst thing girl can do. A girls
greatest protection is the amount Of
modesty that she rears about herself.
Young people are full of animal spir-
its, both boys and girls, and whereas
nine girls out Of ten are pure mind
Led, the majority of the boys are just
he reverse, Indiscriminate kissing
the first step downward path for
w girl. Most girls hold themsel-
too cheap, and young men with
|eyes of hawks are ever watching
the slightest lapse on girls
the slightest rent in the armour
er modesty. 1t is the boast of
boys that they have kissed
girl in the community. Later
When the girls get married, some
of7these boys who have graduated in
TO the loafers class, stand around
and point contemptiously at young
married woman, as she passes by
and brag of the many times they
have slobbered her lips If young
men were content to stop at kissing
there would not be so much danger in
it, but the fellow who has the free
dom of girls lips, in ninety nine
cases out of hundred is not going
to stop there. If you give him an
inch, at sometime when the oppor-
tunity presents itself, he will take
yard
It is a queer thing in human nature
that young men will shoot to kill to
avenge the honor of their own sis
tiers, but they have no respect for
the honor of the other fellows sis
tiers. The man who is worth while,
dosent care to marry a girl who has
passed her face around for every fell
NV in the community to nibble and
NV at. Love means that boy or
sI1 is beginning to feel foolish and
need watching. 1t is quite true ]
suppose that there is nothing half
50 sweet as loves young dream, and
also nothing quite so dangerous and
quite so foolish Sex attraction
sAvlaEes these affairs inevitable. They
s1<are part of the Affections of child
hPEd and youth Some day when we
gstfully civilized and all have to go
to school until we are twenty-one, a
part of our training will be in the
school of chivalry Here the myster-
les of sex will be explained. Here
girls will learn what men really are
and not what they think they are
Love, like christianity. has not had
much of show in this world. The
merciless system we live under takes
no heed of any. man. 1t gives him
a salary on which he cannot support
a chicken, let alone wife, and so he
is forced to remain single and become
a MANAGE to the womanhood of the
land Excuse me girls, not boys. |
