.tu Essay uo Klsslug.
j It is not known just what ardent I
I swain It Was who Imprinted the first
\ chaste salute upon the lips of his lady
I fair. Perhaps is was Adam who In- I
vented the kiss. It sounds Just like I
lilm, but whoever Invented it certainly ]
I started something that baa come down '
I through the ages and caused moro
I trouble than mumps, measles and
prickly heat combined.
Take the case of that man In St.
Joe. Mo., which is now occupying
much valuable Christmas advertising
space In the newspapers. He kissed
a woman once, and, finding that tho
going was good, kissed her six times
more, right in the same place. Ho
thought that the matter would end
there. He shared the popular fallacy
that a kiss Is nothing: at all, but ho
was mistaken. Now tho young woman
1 lias sued him In thn courts for $20,000
I damages. There may be. some who
may believe that It Is not worth 120,000
to kiss a Missouri woman seven times,
but tho value of tho salute is placed
by the klssoe and not by the klsHor
She claims that her kisses are worth
I $32,Si>7.1f each and the court Is to
find out. ilow tho court is going to I
find out Is nobody's business. I
In these days of frenzied finance
and universal ambition to own auto
monllcs tt behooves the young man
of modest circumstances to bo very
careful where, when and how ho be?
stows his chaste salutes- It is per?
fectly safe for a young man to kiss
the feminine members of his own fam?
ily or tho lady whom he Intends to
endow with u meal ticket for life, I
but It is not wlso to pass his kisses
around indiscriminately. Women are
developing commercial instincts and
It begins to look as though the great
eat of indoor sports is to become an- |
popular. The decision of tho Missouri
court will be awaited with interest.
When Angelina Sings.
Our daughter Angelina's got a very
purly voice.
To be n prlma donner In a grand
opry Is her choice.
She's studied nearly seven years In I
method and technique
And goes down to the studio at least
three times a week.
....s's goln' to take Miss Garden's
place?her teacher told us that.
Just eight years more of study and
she'll have the thing down pat.
Her uead tones are luxurious, her
throat tones are Immense.
"We're goln' to let linr keep right on
regardless of expense.
Calve ain't got a thing on her and
Sembrlch Is a shine
Compared In any way or shape to that
thero gal of mine.
We're positively sure of that. Hor
teacher told us so.
When it rotne? to the slngln' game,
the teacher ought to know.
Ju-.t seems like ma and me kin hoar
The Angols (lap their wings.
It's music, heavenly for us
When Angelina sings.
Of course, there's lots of jealousy the
whole blamed village through.
For It has cot noised 'round a bit
what she is going to do.
Sorno of tho spiteful orltterH say her
chest tones arc a fright.
And that she'll not be able to get her
dynamics rlght
And although the church choir says
our daughter ought to go
And do her fancy slngln' in some
movin" picter show.
When sho gets up to alng a piece they
try to treat her nice.
But their applauso most always sounds
like some one crackln' Ice.
Her teacher save to never mind, she'll
show 'ern nil some dny;
But she must tnko moro lessons, far
that Is the only way.
For folk? were Jaaloua of Calve and
Melba Just the samo
Before they waa grand opry stars and

But still It gives us qulto a shock,
In spite of all of them things
To hear the other teachor3 knock
When Angelina sings.

profit and selling cost of fresh meat,
were revcalod to-day by Ifonry F.
Moycr, an accountant In tho employ?
ment of Armour & Company. Ho de?
clared that after the Injunction Issued
by Judge Orosscnp in 1902, tho In?
structions given him by his superiors
regarding the items used In figuring
the test cost were communicated to
him verbally, and that the sheets con?
taining the data always were de?
stroyed after six months. The cost of
killing, ho said, had increased from
$1 a head to 12.75-> a head in twenty
two years. During the. great railroad
strike in 1S94 the killing cost, he
said, went to $8.80 a head.
Hi said that two methods were used
in figuring tho test cost of the ani?
mals. Ono he described as the "memo,
randum" or "red" cost, anil tho other
: as tho "last" or real test cost
The government contends that tho
"memorandum" or "rod" test cost Is
the ono which all the members of tho
j alleged nackers' combination used In
fixing tho margin of profit mi the
**ning ro?t of fresh meat.
The witness explained that the
; credit allowance for certain fats had
been decreased front $3.15 to $3 a hun?
dred pounds within three years.
Judge Cnrpentor to-day struck from
the record In the trial of the pnekers
certain papers and letters bearing no.
