Greece of the olden times had a law
providing that any man who kissed a
woman or alrl on the public street
should suffer death. It happened that
an Athenian youth who was in love
with the daughter of Pisistratus, the
tyrant, kissed her on the street. His¬
tory tells us that even tyrants may
have softer moments, for when the
wife of Pisistratus remanded the
death penalty for the offending youth,
the tyrant replied: “If we remove
these that love us, what shall we do
with those that hate us?”
Publius Maevius of Rome, on the
other hand, had a liberated slave torn
to pieces by wild horses because he
had kissed the Roman statesman’s
daughter. The censor Cato promul¬
gated a law prohibiting married peo¬
ple from kisging eaA other in the
presence of their daughter.

“ 'Taint everybody that’s got such
right feelings ns Mally Potter and her
nu; I will say that for the Potters,
even If our family uren't going to be
connected, nfter all." Mrs. Roberts
was speaking to her next-door nelgb-
bor, Miss Kllknbeth Sprawle.
‘’They're honest as the day I kno w

it; and to-day Sally brought over tbe
money in an envelope, and there was
not only the $0, but 36 cents interest
for the year!
“I told Sally that there weren’t many
folks thnt would have thought of pay-

from neglect of early symptoms. Every
