Adopted By The Ancient and Honor able Orker of Chronic Kickers. Hickory Times Mercury. t the annual meeting of the Ancient and Honorable Order of J. . ii. Chronic Krickers recently nem m this city the writer was made press agent with instructions to prepare a0d cause to be published the fol lowing resolutions: Whereas, we, the assembled body of the Ancient and Honor able Body of Chronic Kickers, re garding ourselves as real benefac tors of the race, and recognizing the lareuess of all those who have bo far refused to join our honorable order, do see that the future ot our town is frought with danger, Therefore, be it resolved: 1st. That it is the sense of this meeting that the city of Hickory, while providing comfortable seats in the park for oiu accomodation, should at the same time furnish a suitable number of cuspidors to relieve us of the necessity oT rising from our seats to expectorate. 2nd. That we vie.7 with indig nant scorn and contempt, not un mixed with utter detestation and loathing abhorrence' ' (this expres sion was borrowed from my friend Dickens) the uuexcusable habit of our fellow townsmen in being con stantly employed. The strenuous life they are living can but result in the physical deterioration of the race. 3rd. That we denounce and con demn in the most scathing terms the brutal eftorts of Prof. Staley and others to inflict upon the peo pie of this town that most dam nable of ail institutions the pub Ac schools. Our present sjstem of education inspires our boys and girls w.th an abnormal energy lead ing them to the expenditure of such force and efforts that they are deprived of the real joys of life. 4th. That we cannot too strong ly disapprove the pernicious efforts of Secretary Joy and his Chamber of Commerce to bring new indus tries to town. New enterprises mean more work, thuB leading our hoys to depart from the path their fathers trod, and can result in nothing beueficial to mankind. 5th. That we deprecate the wil ful and malicious activity of May or Lentz and his board of Alder men in extending the street im provement work in Hickory, thus increasing the taxes of these of us vho are so unfortunate as to own property in town and destroying the ancient landmarks that have tood against the 6torms ot time since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. 6th. That in the progressive Policies of our newspapers we Bee tnedowLfall of our Eepublic aud 'he destruction ot our civilization. uur forefathers, the untutored tavages, had no literature, yet ith the women doing the work, tQeir life was an acme of useful ness and happiness.

That, finally, in pursuing 0ur way aci-033 this mundame sphere, we pledge ourselvea to ake aa many obnoxious state tQeatS as noRsihlo nhnnt. thncc whn A7 -vw laJtSW - v do not view conditions as we view leui and that we will have but tle regard for facts in any state ments that we make, that all our Mdanthropy shall be so nearly animosity that the closest observer AyiU not be able to determine the Jtference.

P. S. Mr. Editor, if it doesn't cost anything, you may send a copy of your paper to each of our members. Troths in a Nut Shell. When women get the ballot and the running for office bug, if they throw any hats in the ring, let it be herewith understood that it must be last year's lid. It was a long time in coiniug, but summer's here. Now get out your old ice cream frosterand show the worthies of your lodge how to be happy in the heat. Be a booster, Everybody loves a booster. He's the only kind of lorce that can push fourteen dif ferent ways at once. Even dyna mite can't do that. Boost! Don't be frightened when some one tells you that you are going to do something to hurt yourself. Have more confidence in yourself than in some pessimism. You're ail right. The real secret of happiness in life is to sow the seens of cheerful ness early; so that the harvest when gathered may bring serene happi ness in old age. Yes, this would be a pretty lono some world if it were not for the boys, even though they do get in the. way once in a while and have a fashion of messing things up. They will get over these habits soon enough, so give them all the encouragement they deserve. I must not be afraid to live in line with my ideals; I must not gauge the powers ot the universe by what I can see; see I must fear lessly plunge onward into life's in finite ocean; and my courage shall be a pledge of my insured attain ment. A real man is one who responds nobly to circumstances. The har der the knocks and the more dis couraging the situation the brigh ter he shines. A real man never talks about what the world owes him, the hap piness he deserves,' the chance he ought to have, and all that. All he claims is the right to live and play the man. There is lots of agitation, these days, iu politics, concerning the great question: Have the people really enough brains to govern themselves! And every time the people have kicked the basement out of the doubters. Then they grin. It's a way the people have. He who overlooks a small occa sion will have lost his eyesight when a great one comes. Never wait for a chance to do good, nev er seek for some great thing, but improve each small opportunity as it comes to you, and some day you will be surprised to find that the truly great occasion of your life would have been overlooked had you not been keeping track of the small things.

It never occurs to these feliows that athletes are after ' the egg" rather than anything else. Keither doe3 the fact sink very deeply in to Mr. Dopester's head that it would be more profitable to spend his time in gathering knowledge that would make him a specialisl and thereby help him get "the efg." Oh, no, his ability is not appreciated-what ability the Lord only knows by the boss. Let the hen take care of herself and you take care of your future by securing the knowledge that will make you a specialist. Get Hue egg." Ambition. Population of The World. The total population of the world is now estimated at 1,700,000,000. This is based upon the most recent estimates which all civilized coun tries now take of the number of inhabitants of uncivilized lands. tne proportion ot the sexes is known for 1.038.000.000 of these fh. .i'n K;n 1 nnn x nnA ' ' wwwAb WbBVVV JUVVW v v J V females. The ratio varies consid tin 1 1 rm, iiiii iiri 111111 & i i erably in different places. In Eu rope there are 1,000 men to 1,027 :rica 1,000 men to 1,045 women; in America 1,000 men to 964 women; in Asia 1,000 men to 961 women; in Australia 1000 men to 937 women. The highest proportion of wom en is found in Uganda where there a re 1,467 to every 1,000 men. The lowest proportion is in Alaska and the Malay States, where there are in the latter"389 women to every 1,000 men. Girls on Kissing. The art of kissing in all its phas es is the subject of a special issue of the Ghaparral, Stanford's comic paper. Editorially, L. D. Sumf mertield, chairman of the Board of Editors, dedicates the number to "a much needed reform in the University, hoping that it will prove an incentive in bringing the men and women of Stanford closer together." Here is the way one of the arti cles characterizes the art of kissing: A kiss is an idealized bite. - Practically speaking, a kiss is nothing more than a contact be tween labial appendages of one and the person, of another, but from the standpoint of esthetics it often baffles description. It has been said that kisses are like olives in a bottle after the first one is obtained the rest come easy. It would be more accurate to say that after the second kiss is gotten the rest follow rapidly. Any man can get the first one if he watches the time and grabs the op portunity and the girl. .But it takes a good man to bridge the gap so created and obtain a mate tojthe first.. ;It is a disputed point whether it is more blessed to give than to re ceive kisses. In our opinion . the best thing is to alternate. fGirls like to be kissed, but they hate to begin; conseqvently they save their supply in a mental hope chest and then give them away on hardly more than a third bet. Men like to be the first one to kiss a girl, but girls prefer kissing a man who has had some exper ience. If the man is inexperienced the girl hasn't the satisfactiou of thinking that the got him away from some other girl. The. best way to kiss is often. II kisses left scars most of your best frienda would be going around with their faces in bandages. A girl who has never been kiss ed doesn't go to many dances and is a good student. The "soul kiss" is a newfangled brand whichilines thdordinafry oscalatory pffes withit&ose i lof suffocation. -' Kisses are sa to be ,'unbealth f ui and truly so," for thejr tend to caise toftness of the brain, absent mindedness and bHndoe88 to a cer tain person's faults. ; Judging frofn wfrai we have seen, it seems that babies like to be kissed about as well as tnay like rare beefsteak.', Like oil and water, kisses and onions don't mix. BY INFLUENCE AND sr Where Was That Hat? Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Three friends, who had all been operated on for about the same period, met for the fir6t time since thejir sufferings and began compar ing notes. "Yes," said No. 1; "I had beas tly luck! The doctor had to oper ate, again, because he found he had left a sponge inside the first time." No. 2 promptly capped this. "That's nothing," uesaid. My doctor left a pair of forceps . inside mei" No. 3 rose to his feet. He wa6 pallid and trembling as he rushed toward the door in frantic haste. What's wrong!" asked his friend.

Liitle Woman Who Married Some. ...-8 Some years ago there was a girl in this connty whose name was. Pollie Wilkins. She was small of stature aud said to be good look ing. She married a man named Norris, who lived only a short while. She next married Mr. James Rose, of Smithfield town ship. LiviLg with him only a short time she left him and later married Mr. S. J. Williams, who lives near Wilson. She spent a year and a half with him, and soon after their parting, was married to Mfj Alvin Batten, who lives one and a half miles from Selina. They separated, and on Wednesday, May 15, a suit for divorce was con ducted here. All three of her liv ing husbands were here to testify against her. The divorce was granted. It is said that "she has Jjeen trying to marry agaiu since leaving Mr. Patten, and before the divorce suit was tried. Her other husbands will now sue for divorc- es. it is saiu mat sue was noi true to any of her husbands, and that her affections were not con fined to them at all. Smithfield Herald.

Sixteen billion times a year these small citizens announce thearrival of a' "fresh laid," and the sound of their bragging is loud in the land.

It's pretty hard to know how to treat a lie when it's about your self. You can't go out of your way to deny it, because that puts you on the defensive; and sending the truth after a lie that's got a rurning 6tart is like trying to round up- a stampeded herd of steers while the scara is on them. Lies are great travelers, and are welcome visitors in a good many homes and no questions asked.

A bachelor member of-congies who is not as handsome as Apollo, dropped into Clerk McDowell's office the other day to seek sym pathy because the lady on whom he had looked with favor was about to marry anetber man, eajs the Washington Post. "This remindi me," said Mr. McDowell, "of the incident which happened when Governor Dick Oglesby went down to Joilet to iL spect the state prison. In one of the cells was a' very ugly man. "What are you in for!" asked Oglesby "Abduction," was the reply. "I tried to run off with a girl and they caught me." "I'll pardou you as soon as I get back to Springfield," said the governor. "I don't see how wife you any could expect to get other way." The homely bachelor congress man laughed loudly. Then as the application of the story dawned upon him. the smile faded from his face and he walked out of Mc? Dowell's oflict without 6aying a word.
