The judge and spectators in a Kan sas City courtroom laughed when a usband testified that his wife gave im only "mechanical kisses"' Then the lawyers devoted many min utes to the question, "What is a me hanical kiss?" They decided that It was a salutation given only. through a sense of duty, and then they laughed some more. They didn't go far enough. They might have called it a tragedy. With most women affection lasts. It urns as strongly in old age as in gold en youth. A caress means a world of oy to them. Some men forget. They grow care less. Carelessness is often a species of selfishness. Oance it was a privilege to ess a lover's kiss on the lips of a wife at the door when leaving in the morning, again as a warm greeting hat always marked the homecoming at night. And one morning the man forgot the caress and lost himself in business. And a shadow fell on a romance, and the woman wept She tried to be brave nd sensible. She tried to laugh at the silly fear that he didn't care for her. She assured herself a hundred times that it was such a little thing and that t was natural for him to forget and that it was unreasonable for her to ex pect the joy of the honeymoon through ife. She wiped away her tears and re solved to hide her grief and be kind,. Loving, patient. And the man never kncw. Perhaps some day he went into court and com plained that he bad been the recipient f "mechanical kisses." Domestic neg lect isn't always confined to lack of food and clothing. Cruelty doesn't al as take the form of physical abuse. When men learn to think, when they remember that the little attentions of ten mark the difference between joy nd sorrow in a woman's life, there wll be more real happiness in the world.-Milwaukee.TournaL. For Tender Feet. After dancing for a little while many people's feet get very tender and un omfortable. If you are troubled in this way, try this plan: Put Ivy leaves~ next the soles of your feet, inside the rtockings. Cut out the hard center rib, Lay the leaves as smoothly as possible, draw your stockings carefully over so s not to disarrange them, and see that your shoes fit just comfortably. For walking in warm weather this is an ex ellent plan and prevents the feet from getting tender.--New York News. Thirty Dollar Libraries for Ten Dollars.

Daniel Lambert, Who Died In 1509, Got Too Obese to Wabble. The fame of Daniel Lambert as a champion among fat men in England, if not in the world, still remains un rivaled. Daniel was born at Leicester in 1770 and died in 1800 at Stamford. The grandson of a celebrated cock fighter and addicted to sport through out his life, his dimensions were not extraordinary, and his habits were not different from those of other lads un til he was fourteen years old. When twenty-three years of age, however, he turned the scale at thirty-two stone, an, although he is recorded to have been then able to walk from Woolwich to London, at the time of his death, in his fortieth year, he had attained the prodigious weight of fifty-two stone, or 72 pounds, and was more or less help less. He was a modest man, and when he had achieved physical greatness fame was thrust upon him. He was for a long time unwilling to be made a show of, but he gained a more than local reputation, and people traveled from far to see him, resorting to vari ous devices in order to be allowed to do so. At length the prospect of profit overcame his resolution, and for four years before his death he exhibited himself in London and in the prov He was apparently a man of some wit, for once, before he permitted the public to gaze upon him, an inquisitive person had gained access to his pres ence by pretending to be a fellow sportsman interested in the pedigree of a mare, whereupon Lambert promptly replied, "She was bred by Impertinence out of Curiosity." Before the days of Daniel Lambert, Edward Bright of Maiden was a well known fat man, al though his name no longer lingers as a household word. H~e died in 1750 at the age of thirty years, weighing forty two stone and seven pounds, and is stated to have been an active man till a year or two before his death, when his corpulency so overpowered his strength that his life was a burden and his death a deliverance. Both Bright and Lambert seem to have been genial, good humored fellows and very popular among those who visited them. In deed popularity.- seems -to -be te'ots of the corpulent -in fact as well as in fle tion. The heroes of fiction, however, have the advantage in the matter of lasting glory, and the names of.Daniel Lanbert and the fat boy of Peckham ink into insignificance beside those of Falstaff and the fat boy in "Pickwick." -London Standard.
