hurts the saloon business most is the

one in particular who was one Of my

that you can find a true friend in a

much harm has it not already done
to our organization, where the Of

are often caused by drunken dis

TO MODEST GIRL.

TO MODEST GlRL."-Say, Mod
est girl, I am a young man. Let me
tell you a few things about kissing,
etc. These things are important and
serious and should not be dealt with
in a loose and flippant way.
You can very well do without the
company of the mice fellows" who
wants to kiss you at first sight and
who tell you that "Other girls are do
ing it." The enjoyment and gay
ety. that they give you isn't worth
while and may prove too expensive in
the long run-to you. Tell them to
take out ''the other girls" with whom
they can have the "geod time" that
they have in mind.
Kissing is all right in its place. But
first you must know who kisses you
and why he does it. Beware Of
strangers" is a good warning. And
if you are not an expert Judge of peo-
pie you will need to meet a fellow
more than once or twice to know
much about him. Of course, if you
want to be a butterfly you needn't be
ciate freely with the butterflies and
do as they do. But remember that
their existence is a short one.
Yes, there are kisses and kisses.
Some kisses express love in its full
est measure, admiration, longing
of two souls or minds to commune,
to mingle, to unite, to create. Others
are simply the preludes to the graft
fication of one single, monetary
passion common to all humans and
animals-seX.
Learn the difference between
between these two kinds of kisses.
It is wrong to condemn all kisses. It
is wrong IOr a girl to distrust all fell
lows. She must learn to Judge and
discriminate. By a little observation
and reflection one soon learns the
motives and Intentions Of people and

Kissing ought to mean something,
ought to express the truest and full

observed many journals, meaning the
meeting between Kerensky and the
late car, "the man that used to rule
Russia face to face with the man that
rules Russia now"
This is all the most absolute rot
and rubbish that ever was devils
ed. There is literally not one
word Of truth in it.
kerensky is no more the dictator of
Russia than you are. He was never
made dictator nor anything like die
tator He comes no nearer being a
dictator than his predecessor came.
When he was named to succeed Lvoff
there was no more thought of making
him dictator than there was Of max
ing Bill Dewey dictator.
Beyond all this, Kerensky himself,
who is a most unselfish, sincere and
high minded patriot, would be shocked
and grieved to learn that America be-
lieved him to be capable of betraying
the revolution. ...e vi L.
No one that knows him or knows
the Russians as they really are would
ever go so far astray.
Kerensky, like the rest of the minis
try, holds Office to carry out the will
of the Russian people. A. !

people will ever tolerate dictator,

The idea that Russia needs and will
have a dictator is born Of funda-

that the people of Russia, being very
ignorant and totally without expert
