He who fails to appreciate earth's

It is in overcoming faults and
not in being exempt from them
that proves One's character.
Nothing is impossible to the

will surely fall iff other soil and

The Anti-Osculation Club.
0\tr Ahtt-Oscualtion club has busted up,
they say;
'Twas formed aboUl a week ago—a week
ago to-day.
Our nicest girls wuz menibefs an1 th' lid
wuz tight b' jings— ,
YeVf collldn't get a throbfiin' kiss fer
love er diatrtdiid rings!
Fer seven days an' seven nights th' town
wuz anti-kiss,
An' things wuz tight in' up so tight, we
pluriib fun out o' bliss.
Th' boys wnz mad an' swore b' gosh,
they'd jllmptlieirftortieflteadclaimes;
Th' girls wuz nervouser than t.in\c areas-
onln' with their flames!
Yfe See th' trouble starten with a scien-
tific cuss ~
Who cum to town an* loethred 'gainst
th' giving a •'bhss.^,
lie sed 'twas deadly practicc ad' wuz
Spreadin' microbe germs,
TWa? givin' folks consumtion coughs
and colds and, sometinies, Worms!
He got th' movement goin' fcr t' stop th'
practice vite
That wuz layin' waste th* country fer
about ten thousand mile.
The Anti-Osculation clubs hed got their
ftigS bhfBrlell,
An' now wuz out t' crush diisease anil
save a kissin' world!
Th' girls they sort o* jincd th' thing be-
cuz t wuz a fad— ,/
The gas they saved th' first few nights
jist made th' old folks glad;
Bttt when th* fellers all gjeW iltad an'
swore t' smash th' trust,
JTH' woineh got their dander up an'vowed
they'd stick ot bhst!
May Wilkins give John Hicks his ring
an' scorned him for a bolch;
Maude Haskins ordered Bangs t, take her
picture from his watch!
Th' hull darned corps of Cupid's men
frum Willie Jones t' Dow, *
Wuz mixin' in th' seethin' mess an' add-
in' t' th' row!
Th' preachers tried t' calm th' girls fcr
fear o' losin' fee*; t
While eVerJr gal tfiat had a beau wuz
trembly in her knees!
An' then when things wuz mighty taut,
1 th' fellers met en masse
An' jist proceeded with a vin some anti-
' rules t' pass!
They called themselves "The Benedicts"
an' swore i' git a wife
Before that time cum Monday next an'
quit th' single life!
They recommended cach should court a
gal friim Hick'ry Crick.
Kr Taylorrjllei er Hinckley's Ford an*
• do it miglity quick! (
Th'ways that news got spread around
wuz lightnin' no mistake,
An' fer a coup o' policy, yew byt it tuk
th' cake!
By noon th' girls wuz all smoked out
"Surrender" wuz th' cry—
Dan Cupid put til' shafts right home an'
smote^em hip "an' thigh.
May Wilkins sent fer Johnny llitks an'
swapped a rousin smack
To soothe John's ruffled spirits down an'
git her diamond back!
Maude Hashins telephoned t' Bangs she'd
changed her mind a bit
And "yes" would be the answer cf he
still could think of it!
Our Anti-Osculation club thus busted
up b' jing,
An' several weddin's now*, I hear, are
comin' on th' wing!
Th' scientifiic cusshes left, we're "buss-
in' " as of old,
An' every man that loves a kiss is jist a
bit more bold!
It rtiay be deadly practicc an' it may be
killin' sum
tout we ain't scary! N6t a bft! We're
goin' it, b' gum!
We'd rtflhier kiss an' die b' gefch, than

Why so few dduble-sititHi folks?
Why not ti'ain both hands and

to use them in the left; but there
are many ways to use both llahds

why? .Just so as to be symmet-

But we are as apt to be dhe-

That's why some men become
rock-ribbed democrats or repub-
licans. We get in the habit of
thinking On one side until it is
hard to S<*e the other side. Only
some great circumstance cailses
us to do a little thinkingon both
sides. The same is true of reli-
giodfe questions. Heretofore the
churches have been far apart and
at strife oecause the ministers of
different denominatiods were so
o.ie-sided in their views and the
churches have blindly followed.
But they are getting together as

What is the difference between
a crank and a trell poised mind?
Simply that the "crank"' is one-
sided, can;t weigh both sides of a
question. Why do gossips have
such influence? Because they find
pfenty of'folks who Vill listen to
oue side and believe it.

Should turn ijlore to liberalism in
thought and action? Not in that
sense. We do mean that we are
prone to be too narrow, too ea-

to live by habit of deed and
thought instead of making the
necessary effort to develop a
symmetrical body and mind.
