Respectfully,
I. J. KAPLIN, KOANOKI: RAPIDS. N. C.
(From the Chicago Inter Ocean.)
The Rev. timer L Williams,
pastor of the Grace Methodist
episcopal Church, championed the
cause of (lie kiss in a sermon at
the Desplaines camp meeting last
Monday.
The speaker's intentions were
no doubt good. But he was doing
a bootless thing iit defending the
kiss almost as hooiless a thing as
anacking it.
The plain experience is thai
neither attack nor defense has any
apparent effect on the kiss. It is
really wonderful how it has sur
vived through the ages maintain
ing its popularity in the face of
every discouragement.
The "blue law" persons have
preached against ihe kiss, the po
lice have warned against it, and
last of all science has endeavored
lo show that it is a menace to the
life and happiness of the world.
Hut it has withstood them till.
; The father of the family reads
' an article in a medical journal de
j tailing the horrors ihai may follow
' in the train of a single kiss, lie
then goes placidly home and kisses
his wife, just as if that article had
I never been written.
The mother reads in a ten-cent
: magazine or some oilier publica
tion ihat deals in popularized
' science about the dangers ihatlurk
! in simple kissing. At that moment
I ihe baby cries. Whereupon she
1 kisses him to keep him quiet and
finishes ihe article with much com
placency.
The young man reads a Sunday
supplement about the 1 8,000,000,
000 microbes that lurk in every
kiss, several of the microbes being
greatly, and terrifyingly enlarged.
And he goes right down to his best
girl's house and if he doesn't kiss
her it is not because of the mi
crobes. When one considers how long
the kiss has lasted, how easily
it rises above attacks from all quar
ters, ii is impossible to resist the
idea that there is merit in it; that it
somehow subserves a useful pur
pose; lhat it answers to some int
; perious demand of human nature
i which will not be reasoned with,
i If science would attack it In the
1 truly scientific fashion, .it should
: first discover the myste
rious demand it answers to. That
j known, and otherwise supplied,
: the kiss might fall a ready victim
to aiiack.
But as long as the kiss remains
the mysterious affair it is, popular
without effort, and praciiced with
out reflection, all attacks will be in
vain and all defense unnecessary.
Peanut growers and buyers alike declare the Ben
thall Peanut Picker the only absolutely satisfactory
picker made.

THE ROAD'LL TURN SOME DAV.
BY I-KANK II. SWtbT.
1 know the road is rocky,
And the hills are hard to climb;
I know ihe feet get bruised and sore,
And it takes heaps o' time.
I know the burden's heavy
Oh, you needn't tempt to say;
But just keep a-plodding onward
For the road'll turn some day !
1 know that homesick feeling,
And the ache you bear alone;
1 know your heart is breaking,
By ihe bravely stifled moan.
1 know the arm you leaned upon
I las now no power to slay;
But just keep a-plodding onward
For ihe road'll turn some day !
I know the structures you have hew n
Of youth's day-dreams lie low,
1 know you see their ruins stare
Hverywhere you go.
I know the sunbeams round your path
Long since have ceased to play ;
Bui just keep a-plodding onward
For ihe road'll turn some day !

Of the prodigal son who came back

Wealth ar.d honors were his to command,
And a spotless woman gave him her hand.
The world strewed their pathways with blossoms abloom,
Crying, "God bless ladye and God bless groom !"
There was a woman who went astray,
In ihe golden dawn of her life's young day;
She had more passion and heart than head.
And she followed blindly where fond love led.
And love unchecked is a dangerous guide
To wander at will by a fair girl's side.
The woman repented and turned fruit! mm,

The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven;
But told her to look for mercy in Heaven.

River in Hancock county, Tenn.
It was there he spent his child
hood, and he states that in a dream
it was revealed lo him that in the
rock house cave in a lonely moun
lain spol near his childhood home
was stored a large amouni of gold.
Rogers tells that so thoroughly im
pressed was he with the dream
lhat he lefi his North Carolina
home and explored the cave. He
tells that in a great room, not un-
j like a theaier, he discovered an
old kettle turned upside down.
Scatiered in the chamber about it
were old bayonets, canteens, and
other evidences that it was used as
a place of refuge during the Civil
war. Near the kettle was a skele
ton, and on a piece of slate beside
this skeleton was carved this in
scription :
"The first white man reading
these lines will liud $00,000 in
coin under this kettle. Take this
money, bury this body in a lonely
spot on top of Copper Ridge, and
peace shall be yours ihe remainder
of your days."
Rogers, who describes himself
as now an old man, avers, that he
carried out the wish expressed on
the inscription, and w ith the gold
in his possession returned to North
Carolina. He states that he pub
lished his expe 'i.'iice in the Ro-
eersville paper thai the friends of
his childhood might know of hi
good luck, declaring that he had
been a poor laboring man up to
j that time.
