SHORT SERMON
 ABOUT KISSING
May Be Pleasure, Habit, Ecstacy, Duty, Sin or Crime-Depend-
 ing on the Spirit

The following from an exchange should be of interest Co all civilized people. UucIyllizcd people, we are informed. never indulge in the gen. tlo art of kissing:
 There's no telling who invented the art of kissing, but it is a safe assertion that no other inventor ever saw his example 80 universally adopted of SO gosh awfully' en- joycd
 Kissing is a pleasure, a habit an ccstacy. a duty, a sin, crimc-de- pending altogether on the circum- stances.
 Kissing a baby is about the sweet est kissing on earth, but les mighty hard on tho baby. He gets such a lot of it. Pretty girls kiss him; mar ricd women kiss him; old bachelors kiss him; eycrybody's doing it If he were big enough to assert him self he wouldn't stand for it, not all of it. anyway. But then, if he were bigger no one would care to kiss him.
 Kissing a girl whose lips are like warm velvet and whose checks are as soft as the doves breast would be about the niftiest thing on earth, except for the fact that no one gets Co kiss that kind of a girl except raw boys who haven't learned how to kiss.
 Kissing ones wife is about as near perfect enjoyment as a mere mortal need hope to get. But irs a custom not universally followed Some men never kiss their wives And of course some men kiss other mems wives. The man who doesn't kiss his wife at least ten times day doesn't deserve her The woman who doesn't want Co be kissed at least ten times day doesn't deserve a husband. And yet. if the old man keeps a Quid of cut plug in his jaw, the wife who stands for ten kisses day deserves a halo and a cushion ed Sea, alongside Job in the New Jerusalem
 There are many ways Co kiss. A little baby merely opens its mouth and slobbcrs. A coy maiden closes her eyes and lips tight and lets some one else do the kissing. An old maid ties her lips into a hard knot and pccks at Che victim like a wood-peck- CT. An old bachelor puckers up and smacks like the drcdgc of a steam shovel. Wives real wives kiss like the lingering clasp of hands be- tween men friends who know how Co love. And mothers? An, mothers kiss like thc soft beating of angels wings likc the soothing notes Of some celestial harp through Che twi- light like Gods bcucdiction whis- pered over ones bowed head

During thc past few days the Stroll lcr's holy of holies has been visited by a number Of Skagway residents who were called Co Juneau to serve their country (at $3 perl in the ca- pacity Of jurors. It SO happens that an these men are old-tmers in their home town. none having resided there less than nineteen years s-uot that man must live in Skagway nine teen years Co be eligible for jury duty for some who lived there for that length of time are not eligible for anything.
 But what the Stroller started to say was that seeing SO many Skag- wayitcs recalled Co his memory the fact that. nineteen years ago. he. too. was a resident of that same Skagway. And in those days Skag- way was busy making history. such as it was. But it was history that time will not etface in the minds of those who witnessed les making.
 10 was the Strollcr's privilege nine teen years ago this coming April Co be present at what was probably the most unique meeting ever held there or anywhere else. The Stroller has attended many and various meet iugs since but not one that was characterized by the earnestness of purpose which marked that one.
 10 was a meeting og the Boosters Union and the occasion was the con- sideration of a strike. the Stroller being there on invitation. a rigid press censorship being in force.
 For the benefit Of the sroller's readers be it known that a booster iu a gambling town never gets any thing but his board. He is supposed lmark the wordJ to have clothes, and sleep under crap and other gaming tables. the honor of being connected with the games being reckoned, in addition Co being fed. sufficient inc ducement to endear the position to him.
 In fact. there was caste even a. mong the boosters. Those engaged at the Pack Train or Board of Trade gambling houses would not occupy seats at "Tony's" next to those boost ing at the Red Onion and Grotto. while the latter felt superior to those boosting at the Hungry Pup and Home of Hootch.
 But on the occasion mentioned an caste was forgotten. All had a common grievance and it was to de- fend their rights that they met to- gether It was serious occasion. A number Of "scabs" had arrived from Seattle and had announced that they would boost for 20 cent meals where 35 had formerly been allowed.

The Stroller is frequently asked why he does not have a society cole umn in his great family journal. The answer is easy. He was once so- ciety editor Of paper in Florida and has not been the same man since.
 The position of society editor Of a newspaper Is not a ilowery bed of ease. The pathway of the man who nus it Is not strcwn with pansy blos- soms or emblazoucd with heliotropc. Yet. it is not without its componsa- tious. Frequently the Stroller has altcrnatcd between eating fudge sent Co Che office by some pleased society dame. and picking birdshot out Of his system with the office twcczcrs as thc result of a visit from Che hus- band Of some displeased society dame. The sweet was constantly alternating with the bitter But time hus mel lowed Che memory Of both until the Stroller can look back on the whole thing as a sort of pleasant eNperi- cncc.
 For sometime after assuming Che responsibilities of Society Editor and until hc evolved a system. or sort of schedule ol descriptive adjcctivcs. he prayed u Che morning that night would soon come and at night the burtheu of his prayer was 70. that it were morning" The schedule of adiectivcs which he finally adopted was something like this and it proved. also. an uufailing source of revenue:

 For a brief period Che Stroller used "Bewitching" iu speaking of Rachel Ritzwaller but discontinued it when she threw him down for Abe Cohen.

to Pupils.
NO FUND TO BE ASKED FOR

Another step in assisting the United
States in the present war with Ger
many was taken by the board of edu-
meeting at the Franklin School yester-
day afternoon. when 1t was decided to
announce through the schools that the
American Red Cross is endeavoring to
raise funds for its work. The board
decided to have the matter presented
before the children in the schools and
to urge them. SO far as could be done
without actual solicitation, to help in
raising the desired fund. This action
was taken following the reading of a
letter from H. B. F. mcfarland on be-
half of the executive committee of the
finance committee Of the Red Cross.
Pupils at Central High have already
begun a movement to raise $1,000

from the organization urges that con-
gressional legislation be sought to take
the place of rule AS of the board,
which was nullified by court proceed
ings brought by married woman
teacher. Married women now teaching
would not be affected.
Charles A. Baker and Mrs. Rebecca
Drysdale. representing the Conduit
Road Citizens Association. made plea
before the board for better school ia
cilities for their vicinity. They gave
statistics to show that the Conduit
Road and Reservoir schools were both
overcrowded and also stated that the
buildings were not modern. They ex-
planned that the Conduit Road School
was built in 1874 and has but one
room. in which four classes are now
taught, and that the Reservoir School
is frame building and has four rooms.
The board will give the matter careful
attention.
