DOES KISSING MEAN LovEf

One kiss from all others exalts me.
And sets all my pulses astir.
And burns on my lips and torrents me:
It's the kiss | fain would give her.
One kiss for all others requites me
Although It is never TO be.
And sweetens my dreams and invites me:
It's the kiss that she dare not give me.
There are foolish maidens and there
are wise ones. The foolish maid be-
lieves all the fairy stories concerning
love which the jolly. handsome young
man who calls upon her tells her.
There is a class Of young men who
make love without intentions. They
are not sincere, nor do they spend
much thought of how the girl may con-
slider their so-called devotion.
Such young men have not brains
enough to win the average girl by
earnest, manly conversational powers.
They resort to pleading for kisses. to
awaken her tenderness and win her
heart. Whatever liking they have for
the girl is sure to die out II the maiden
does not repulse their effrontery. The
girls whom such men kiss without be-
ing betrothed to they make up their
minds they will never lead to the al
tar.
Love is a curious problem. Even
while a free lance is most ardently
pleading for kisses he is hoping down
In his heart that the girl will have
modesty and self-will enough to refuse.
Men know that kisses do not awaken
love. They are more apt to disillusion-
lie the man at least. Men sigh for
the lips far beyond their reach. The
girl who grants such caresses is no
longer a queen on pedestal for him
to try to plead for.
After kisses have been exchanged,
when there is no proposal of marriage.

The kiss should always mean mar

kind of lovers. The man loves ant

EARLY TRAINING FOR HEIFER
Much Difficulty Experienced on Some
Farms With Young Animals
Kindness 10 Favored.

On some farms great difficulty Ia
experienced in training the young
heifer to be MIXED. Often the meth

permanent result is more or less a
failure. The actual training of dairy
heifer should begin long before she
comes in milk. In fact, when she is
a little calf is none too soon.
All dairy animals Should be taught

And SO 1t happens that the large army of peo-
pie who wait for the New Year before effecting
a reformation in their lives are seldom success
full In carrying out their intentions. They are
not possessed OF the spirit of energy anG resolu-
ition necessary to achievement. 1t may be
argued that 1t is better to make good resolutions,
even though they are not carried out than not
to make them at all. Thic is open to question,
however. Unless one is absolutely determined
to do what one has decreed. 1t is perhaps on the
whole better not to make promises to oneself.
iUnfulflled resolves continually repeated, tend to
weaken the character, and to reduce ones faith
in oneself, Just resolutions put into practice
are conducive to strength and selfconfdence
Very little tends to overbalance the resolutions

TREES COMPLETE THE HOME
importance Of Proper shrubbery 10
Becoming More and More
Recognized.

The primary object of settling the
state was to make homes, not to make
fortunes or increase the taxable
wealth Of the county or state. One
can have q shelter or abode without
trees, but no home which will appeal
to the wife, and to which the children
will look back with fond remem-
brancas in after years is truly a home
without the sense Of beauty, repose
and protection afforded by trees and
shrubbery.
The trees and shrubbery should be
located on the grounds to give certain
effects or make q part of living pic
ture. The fruit orchard can be plant
ed at regular intervals, in order to be
conveniently cultivated and to use
fully the ground occupied, but the
trees in the yard should not be spaced
like orchard trees; they should be
grouped, In order to make vistas,
screen unsightly outbuildings, afford
shade where needed, add touches of
color to the picture, provide a pleas
ing sky line" and to lend variety and
interest to the home surroundings.
Trees and shrubbery are the setting
OF the Jewel; the quality of the Jewel
is not dependent upon its size, but up
on the spirit, the purity, the harmony
which dwells within. Yet no jewel
Is shown to best advantage without a
suitable setting. and no home is fully
q home without its setting of trees and
shrubs.

ENDS 'H00D00 SHIP
Inflated Steamer Goes Up h
Flames at San Juan.
Forest City Never Made . Voyage
Without . MIshap-Meets Accidents
Of Every Variety Known to
seagoing Vessels.

San Juan. p. R-The burning Of the
four-masted American schooner For
est City in San Juan harbor few
nights ago marked the close of the ca
reer of vessel long known along the
Atlantic coast as q "hoodoo ship"
The Forest City came in here In
distress from Calabar. on the west
coast of Africa. with Q cargo of palm
oil for New York. At 10 p. M, soon
after she was tied up at q bulkhead,
smoke was seen issuing from her for
ward hatch. The San Juan fire de-
partment hurried to the pier. and the
coast guard cutter Itasca and steamer
John e. Berwind pumped water into
the flames in the schooner's hold.
The burning oil. however, spread
rapidly, and after a three-hour fight
the Berwind and Itasca towed the
blazing hulk out into the harbor near
the interned German ships. where. q
huge torch, she lighted the heavens,
while 10000 people on shore watched
the spectacle. Spurts of flame leaped
hundred feet in air as the masts
went by the board. Finally the Itasca
fired three six-pound shells into the
schooner. below the water line, prac-
tically completing her destruction. al
though part of the hulk burned until
next day.
The entire cargo was lost with the
ship. 1t was valued at SIPS, 900, and
was built at Millbridge, Me-. in 1904.
She was owned by Frankel & Co. Her
captain. H. B. Allen, was making his
first trip as her master.
1t is said that the Forest City never
made a voyage without mishap. On
her last trip she was blown far out
Of her course. and when she put into
San Juan she was leaking badly. with
several spars gone. Three of her crew
had contracted beriberi during her H.
days run from Africa.
Several years ago. then being known
as the Myrtle Tunnel. she went fast
on Frying Pan shoals, OF North Caro-
lima, and it was several months before
she was pulled on and towed into Sa-
vannah, bottom up. She was then re-
built and renamed Forest City, but 1t
did not change her run of luck. In
taking her away from the bulkhead
while she was aflre she carried away
the bowsprit and part of the rigging
of the schooner Warren Adams,
moored near her stern, and nearly set
that vessel ablaze.
She has been twice waterlogged.
and in the winter of 1912 she was 90
badly battered in gale on the New
England coast that she put into Nam
tucket with spars broken OF, her sails
torn away and her captain sick in his
cabin. To add to her nisfortunes the
Sound froze and she was icebound for
a long time.
