If you Back in the North Carolina mountains the student of cus toms may still find material for research. The most unique are the kissing games, which still cling to the soil. A lot of big limbed, powerful young men and apple-cheeked, buxom girls gather and select one of their number as master of . ceremon ies. He, takes his station in the center of the room, while the rest pair off and parade around him. -Suddenly, one young woman will throw up her hands auld say: "I'm a-pinin'." . j xhe master of ceremonies takes it up aad Jhe following dialogue and interlocution takes place : "Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says she s a-pimn . What is Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp a- pinin' lur z" "I'm a pinin' fur a sweet kiss." "Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says she's a-pinin' fur a sweet kiss.

(Blushes, convulsive giggles, and confusion on the part of Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp at this forced confession.) Mr. liugn wauaie waiKs up man fully and relieves the fair Ara bella's pinin' by a smack which sounds like a three-year old steer drawing his hoof out of the mud. Then a young man will be taken with a sndden and unac countable pinin', which, after the usual exchange of questions and volunteereed information, reveals the name of the maiden who causes the gnawin' and pinin'. She coyly retreats out doors only to be chased, over taken, captured, and forcibly compelled to relieve her cap tor's distress. At one of these entertain ments wmcn it was tne narra tor's fortune to attend there was a remarkably - beautiful young woman, who had been married 'about a month. Her husband was present a huge beetle browed, black eyed young mountaineer, with a fist like a ham. The boys fought shy of the bride for fear of in curring the anger of her hulk ing spouse. The game went on for some time, when symptoms of irritation developed in the giant. Striding into the middle of the room, he said : "My wife is ez pootty, 'n' ez nice 'n' sweet ez any gyurl hyah. lou uns has known her all her life. This game hez been a-goin' on half an hour an' nobody has pined fur her oncet. Ef some one doesn't pine for her pooty soon thar will be trouble." She was the belle of the ball after that. Everybody pined for her. Washington Post. Who are these "best people" that stare at one from the re port of every public or private gathering ; these best people who are advertised as drawing cards and upon whom the suc cess of the festival - seems to hang ? It may be a mistake, but from external evidence one is led to imagine it is the same old crowd of "best people" that wakened envy and ambition in the breast of the village boy that same old ' rich merchant and fat wife, the big manufac turer on the hill, who enter- ained so finely, and the young man who had come into his ather's estate. These best people, this select coterie who give tone to the earth, are so few in number that their precious substance is spun out in meager groups to satisfy the yearning in each in dividual village, town and city. Lven New York, with its 1,- 500,000, can only afford 400 oi these "best people." The "best people" whose saving grace made successful the village tea party and church social are identical with those who vol nntered to finish the centenni al ceremonies by managing the ball. It is true their names are changed and their features may present a more aristo cratic cast, but they represent just the same money and the power which money brings. In the list of the ''best peo ple" one will never miss the stingy old banker, the rich young stock broker, the mer chant prince, or the returned monopolist; . but who would think of looking for the names of , the quiet scholarly man, the benevolent old lady, or the pretty young girl, the poor re lation of somebody " In other words this current phrase is little else than a bit of snob bery the court society and trade and ambition pay to money and its possibilities. The "best paople" are not found in the newspaper files or elect ed to sich a title by a free ballot and fair count. The f'best people" are softly treading the byways of life. Not all of them have their own carriages, fine establishments, or gorgeous apparel, but they are good walkers, earnest workers, and the paths they follow, the work they do, and the benefic ent ideas they demonstrate each day is what makes this old world swing and lift itself a, little higher at each revolu tion. This is the back ground against which the "best peo ple" shine. These are the peoplb who read the morning account of last night's ball with a cheerful smile and an unen- vious heart.

It's a mistake to be always grumbling and complaining. It's a mistake for a farmer to depend on others to do his thinking for him.
