Carson, the prin cipal of a school in Kansas City, has started a crusade lo slop kiss-'. ing games at school children's par ties. "The kissing game leads to im morality," says Miss Carson, "ii j ought to go." Dear, dear, and I never knew a thing about ii -neither did you, did j you? I played kissing games from the i time I was 6 till I was 13, and no-' body ever looked shocked. I feel as Davy Balfour must have felt when he walked up the old flight of stairs and found himself all of a , sudden at the lop, with nothing but the black darkness to step oft' into. An awful thing happened to me at a kissing party once, though, come lo think of it. There was a new boy in town, a dark boy wiih big romantic brown eyes all the other boys were blonds. He did not freckle, he tanned, and he liked Mowers, and knew the differ ence between violets and spring beauties. He was about 1 1 . and I was about 10, and, oh, how madly I loved thai boy with lite dark eyes and the entrancing wave in his hair ! I thought about him all day, and drumed about him all night, and he never looked at me--he was dead in love with a little hit of a mouse of a girl who was afraid of her ou n shadow, anil who never looked at a flower at all, unless she was going to lie a piece of grass I around the middle of it and make ; il into some kind of a doll. We went to a party one (low er- i ing day in May. Oh, the soft breeze that stirred the apple trees and sent the pink petals down on our very heads! And we played "drop the handkerchief " out in the orchard. The idol had the handkerchief, and started to run around the little ring under the i ! flowering trees. ' "Oh," I thought, "if he should : drop the handkerchief at my place, what must I do, pretend to run land then stumble, or." The' handkerchief fell at my feels. 1 j caught my breath in an agony of delight, started to run, stumbled, , I screamed. "Oh, Billy livans!" i I looked around and the boy who I ; had caught me and was kissing ; me was not Billy livans at a1!, but , another boy entirely. 1 had been so engrossed with my day-dream of the idol that I didn't know what was happening. And I had be trayed my heart's dearest secret to the whole party. "I shall never get over it Is this a time to be cloudy and sad, When mother Nature laughs around; When even the deep blue heavens look glad, And gladnese breathes from the blossoming ground? There are notes of joy from the hang-bird and wren, And the gossip of swallows through all the sky; The ground squirrel gayly chirps by his den, And the wilding bee hums merrily by. 'I he clouds are at play in the azure space, And their shadows at play on the bright green vale, And here they stretch to the frolic chase, And there they roll ou the ea.-.y gale. There's a dance of leaves in that aspen bower, There's a titter of winds in that becchen tree, There's a smile on the fruit, and a smile on the flower, And a laugh from the brook that runs to the sea. And look at the broad-laced sun, how he smiles On the dewy earth that smiles in his ray, On the leaping waters and gay young isles; Ay, look, and he'll smile thy gloom away. William Cullen Bryant THAT SWEET STORY. I think when I rend that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here attiDiig men; How He called little children as lambs to His lold, I should liked to have been with I Inn then. 1 wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arms had been thrown around me. And that I might have seen 1 lis kind look when I le said, "Let the little ones come unto me " Yet still to His footstool in pray'r I may go, And ask for a share in I lis love; And if now earnestly seek I lint below, I shall see Him an.l lie.tr Him above, In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare I'or all that are washed and forgiven, And many dear children are gathering there, 'Tor of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." But thousands and thousands who w ander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I should like them to know there is room for them all. And that Jesus has bid them to come, I long for the joy of that glorious time, The sweetest, the brightest, the best, When the dear little children of every clime To His arms they shall come and be blest. THE WAXDKRIXti now THE STRENGTH OF MOTHER LOVE. CERTAINLY SOME GIRL. San Antonio femininity Has Made the Whole Army Surren der. I wonder just how many Texas beauties capitulated to the warriors while they were in San Antonio? The girl of San Antonio, as one of my subaltern friends quite truth fully remarked, "is certainly some girl." When she dances and she danced each night she dances with her might, but very, grace fully and enduringly beyond the eastern average; when she rides she rides astride and with a vim which would wake up old Central Park in New York city till the last waywardness j i,jade 0f jts grass S0j shivering, A DAILY PRAYER. j It Mav Do N ou (iood, So UcaJ i This Prayer and Adopt it as i Your Own. Teach us, O Lord, to see the ' bright side of things that we may radiate the sunshine. Save us, we pi ay Thee, from pettyness and fault finding 'and self-seeking. And may our minds be too big lor preiudice and our hearts idd kirge lor hatred. Keep us on the one hand, h um the priJe of pretense and on the other from self pity and morose ness. Help us that we may be sweet. ( iuide us that we may be (Jlad. May we be charitable in thought and generous in deed, white souled and helpful. May we be straightforward and unafraid. Help us to love a n d laugh as we loved and laughed in childhood. And so lead us that we may be mean to none of Thy chil dren. Keep us in the ways of temper ancein our working, our resting. Help us that we may take the time to do the things that we ought to do and that we may not do the things we ought not to do.

And they surrender quickly. Let me tell you that. I watched 'em as they threw down their arms. (What further use they made of those arms I have no means of knowing. I 1' pi in the sometimes grim look ing streets of the saull city lilled, as they almost always were, by business-looking army wagons, clattering and often cluttered with men ou horseback - these bright equestriennes made bits ol charm ing color every afternoon; a visit to the rambling, dir-av roads ot the great camp v. as alv, ays sure to briiia encounters wiih a score of them, I'li'. v smiled and llirtcd walked, trotted, paced and canter ed, mastering, puMu'ly, all sons ol mounts, some vicious, some en tirely gentle, some so hill of life and quick horse-gaycty as to pro duce the linn conviction in the mind of an onlooker that nothing would delight them more than lo unseat their riders, but not one fair rider was unseated - w hile any of ficer I know was watching, anyway-Inward Marshall, in the Columbian "Tabemoc1 Shudowi of th BttUr Sacrifices."

I' AH 11 IKK: )!. S. THA VIS, 3E I Old Papers for Sale at this Office. The agony of a mother can be stated but never described. A gentle- man was chorister of a city choir, while his wife was its principal solo-; ist. Their son tor two years had secreted all knowledge of his habits ; of inebriety, but one Saturday night he did not come home and his I friends kepi him in a saloon over night to prevent his condition be-' coming known. His mother was engaged to sing Sunday evening, "Where is my wandering boy to-night?" but because of his absence and the deep anxiety concerning his condition she thought it would be ; imposible for her to perform her allotted pan. Suppressing her feel- i ings, however, she took her place in the choir with a heavy heart. The j ! son had come to himself and despite remonstrances from his friends! ! determined lo go io the service. I le and a companion had taken seats thought. "My whole life is blast- ; ai the back ot lite chureli. I ne moiner sang iter solo and the congre-; ed. 1 think I shall go home and cmon was moved io tears. When she reached the last line of the last 1 be a recluse and have my meals verse, "And lell him I love him still," the son could not contain hinr broughi io me in the cellar from self longer, but wiih deep penitence rushed forward exclaiming, i this day on." 1 shall never forget ! "Here I am, mother." The mother ran down the steps and folded , how surprised I was io tin J myself him lo her breast. The astonished" organist look in the situation and i laughing two or three days utter ' pulling out the stops played, "Praise Cod from whom all blessings 'hat. ; How. " The congregation joined and the son was saved that night. ! Reprehensible. wasn't it? Sho.k-! Bui il was almost at the cost of his mother's hfe.-l lomek-lic Review ! ing. Ana yet someiiow i can t I be half as horrified over ihose ' kissing games out in the orchard ; as I suppose I should. Perhaps kissing games were dif ! fereni in ihose days; perhaps the ; grown people who watched us play them and who laughed at all our foolish little love affairs were different, too. It seems 10 me they were. I don't believe ithe moihers in those days knew quite so much about what the teachers love to lell of as the "seamy" side of life as some of ihese women who lec ture us about our children seem to know loday. I wonder if it pays to be quite so' woefully wise. Winifred Black, in N. Y. American. They Arc as Safe as Warriors. Who March Henealh Worn Hat tic I'laes No More, hut Sit Down With Conqueror to l'es tivals of Song and Wine. The world need never shed a tear for its sainted dead. They are safe as the harvest is when the tanner has bound it into sheaves and su.red ii awav or as the roses are when the gardener has wrap-' ped their roots in straw and housed them from the storm. They are safe as the larks that fly singing from the green earth out of reach of the huntsman's snare and the aim of the cruel sportsman. They are safe as warriors, who march beneath worn battle flags no more, bin sit down with conquerors to j festivals of song and wine. They . are safe as young lambs are when shepherds fold them from the blast . and carry them over rough places in tender arms. Weep for the living all you choose, let your i tears be unstayed above the dying ; bed where your darlings lie like ; wreaths of fading snow beneath the glance of death; bin if you be-: heve in God, and hold any faith in heaven, shed not your tears for j the blessed and happy dead. ! Christianity w ay gives to its belief ! when it garbs itself in sables and j mourns without comfoi t for those who have exchanged the inn for j the palace, the wilderness for the I land of peace and plenty.
