there never had been marriage, and
her true name was Caroline Rudd.

as the prettiest, wittiest and most cap

been sent for by the bankers. But the
constable was sent away. Mrs. Rudd
made such an impression upon the
Drummonds that they consented to for

them, drove away.

Deserts and seas remote and passing by

And they who follow me reach every state
Save death; but those who doubt or hesi-

Condemned to failure. penury and woe,
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore;
l answer not, and return no more.
The verses to which Dr. Nicoi Gig
hotti of Erie, Pa, claims paternity,
as published in Italy in 1887, and
later in Denver, Colo, copies of which,
he states, he furnished Senator ingalls,:
THE FATE.
Master am / of human destinies,
Fame. eatness, love are my servants,
Cities and fields foolishly i walk,

If sleeping. if feasting.
You try to kill your troubles with wine

Sentiment of Kiss.

Some day it may be hoped it will
not Startle US to see a young woman
approach a sad and dissolute young
man. lay her hand tenderiy on his
arm and after a kiss persuade him to
abjure his evil courses.
Many little scenes like this will bid
US pause and consider the sentiments
of the heart and will ennoble our daily
life.
When kissing has become a wide
spread and popular practice instead of
the restrained and secluded thing it is
now we will be able to greet our office
companions, young lady magazine
clerks and others such with greater
cordially.
And we would skip up to most any
young lady at hand and give her a
heary smack with little if any ado.

Needed? Why should we try TO fright

Encourage Practice.
Doctor Page goes on to say that in
all his experience as a physician he
has found no reason to believe that
kissing is the least bit dangerous and
ne adds that he has always done what
he might to encourage the practice
In fact we should kiss more. We
might well soften the harsher aspects
of an age so unfeeling and sordid as
this if more was done to cultivate and
refine the affections.
Our greetings and embraces are per-
functory and cold. How seldom in the
routine of the day do we reveal any
of the little spontanieties of feeling
that mark the gentler nature?
