Frenchman who apparently has a food deal of time ,oo his hands has been amusing himself by reckoning up the number of kisses he has given his wife during the first twenty years of his married life. He finds that In the first year he dis pensed about 100 kisses a day. or, say, allowing for birthdays and legal and church holidays, about 36,700 In the year. In the second year this number was j -reduced by half and in the third year to ten a day. while in the fifth year bis better half had to be content with two a day, one in the morning aud one In the evening. What happened in the fifth year is "wrapped In mystery." but at the same rate of "progression" he probably ar rived eventually at one kiss on the first of January every leap year. Freedom of the Press. The battle for a free proas to tbs full modern sense was focg. out be tween 1764 and 17T1. beginning with the prosecution of Wilkes for attack ing Bute in the North Briton and end ing with the successful resistance to the proclamation by which the com mons had forbidden the publication of their debates.

There's a man in the front office looking fpr some property in Boonton county. Perhaps we can sell him the Gardner tract You go in and talk it up at what you think you might got out of him. then call me and ask what I think about selling at the price you give. I'll ask if you're crazy fo part with such a property at the figure, and we'll have a sham battle over it I'll go out mad. and you sell the property because you're mad too. See?" "Good scheme. We'lt try it on." Dobson of Dobson ft Cram went into the front office, where he found a young man who in his innocence ad mitted that his father had recently died and left him $10,000 and a squall farm. His purpose was to sell, the farm and buy a larger tract some where which was liable to improve in value. "I've got Just the thing yoo want" said Dobson. taking out a beautifully drawn map. "There's 800 acres of it. which we can sell you at $100 an aci-e This will leave you a couple of thou sand for Improvements besides your farm. There's only one trouble about my selling It to you, My partner is dead set upon our taking it ourselves. I would be In favor of it too, but we've got so much now we can't pay the taxes." The young farmer studied the map deliberately and after he had finished said he would go and look at the prop erty. Dobson touched a bell. An office boy entered and was directed to call Mr,. Cram. The junior partner came in and was Informed by Mr. Dobson that he had offered the farmer the Gardner tract at $100 an acre, where upon a violent quarrel ensued, at the end of which Mr. Cram left the room in a buff, threatening to enjoin his partner from making the sale. Dobson was so angry that he vowed the trade should be made before Cram had a chance to Interfere. The 'young man took the hook and paid two ten-dollar hills to hind the bargain. Before he left the office he had drawn a check on his bank for $8,000 and had" a deed for 800 acres of swamp and hill land, the latter cov ered with a second growth of worths less timber. "Good by, Mr. Dobson," he said at parting. "T shan't forget your effort In my behalf, and I hone It won't get yofi Into trouble with Mr. Cram.' He had no sooner gone than the two lartners were congratulating each oth er on the sale. "Shake, old man." said Dobson. "You played your part beautifully." But you landed him. He's as inn U-ent as .1 kitten. Two years passed during which nei ther Pohson nor Cram heard anything of the Gardner tract or Its purchaser, when one day Cram wild to Dobson: The vouuk man we scooped with that swamp and timber land in Boonton 'county is in the other room and wants to see you. Look out for him. Some one mar hare put him up to getting even. The law can't touch us. but he may have some game to play." "Trust me for games." Dobson went In where the young man was waiting, with outstretched nan, I and eyes beaming with kindli ness. Mr Dobson." said the youngster, "that property has turned out better than was expected. There's coal on it" "Good!" exclaimed Dobsan. slapping the boy on the buck. Inwardly he said, "Why didn't you say gold or dia monds ft "Yes; they say it's the finest anthra cite In the state." "Splendid!" Another slap on the back. "I'm Indebted for my good luck to you. Do you remember bow you old me the property before your partner could Interfere?" "Yes: I remember that" "Well, one sood turn deserves an other. I've got an offer of S2.0.oo0 for the property from a coal cemiMmy. I feel that I shouldn't keep all this good luck to myself, seeing that you were so kind to me. I'll divide. I'll sell to you for half, $125,000. and turn you over the eoni company's written offer, good for thirty days." "My dear fellow." said Dorwon. striv ing to maintain a countenance th:t would not betray .his peeing through the stupendous game, "you are the very soul of honor. I'll speak to Cram about It" Going to Cram's office, he shut the door and as soou as he could control his laughter told him how a he youig farmer was trying to pay them In tb. ir own coin. After a pretended consulta tion he returned to the boy aud said: "That partner of mine will lie thy ruin. Do you know, he's so mad about my selling the property to you tbat he won't consent to my having anything to do with the matter, and our part nership forbids any purchase unless both consent I'm awfully ?orrv There's a gentleman waiting to see me." There was a coolness in thp last words, a steely look in the eyes, that was not lost on the younsstor. He went avy. not in anger, but in sor row., and thinking what a despicable man Mr. Cram was. A few days later Mr Craci ni'h d Into his partner's office with a newspa per In his hand "Great Scot Dobson! What's this? BIg And in coal. Sale of tract In Boonton county. A younp fat-mor made rich.'
