THE SWEETS
THAT LIE IN
WOMEN’S UPS
iMlw. IVJZ- o'c:

(■Zt.nvr* *Ssr*z&Erj
Or begin, usually, by gazing
imo her eyes and feeling,
all at once, that some coro
na of glory bas illumined
her whole face and is draw
ing you toward her as inev
itably as the helpless lit
tle comets tumble into the
blinding glory of the sun.
You begin to burn up with
a feverish longing.
Just about then you no
tice that her lips promise
the sweetest kisses that mortal ever,
dreamed of. And it is just then. too.
that she seems to have made up her
mind that those lips are the
very things that >ou shall never ap
proach nearer than about a yard and
a half, and then with her dear moth
er within safe observation distance, to
guard against any sudden vertigo
which her alluring eyes may inspire.
After that you can't think of any- j
thing but the delicious sweetness that
is lingering on those lips .of hers,
waiing to be garnered: and you un
derstand how that impetuous person.
Byron, must have felt when he wrote '
the lines about the women in the
world having a single month, so that
he could kiss them all at once.
He seems a pretty effective one to
mention, so you’ mention him. and
from him you range through the im
passioned poets, beginning with Sap
pho and probably using Omar as a
way siatiou into the list of the mod
ern decadents.
And then? Well, then the earth
trembles and the heavens roll up as j
a scroll, and you realize you've kissed
her.
It may have cost you nothing more
;han a few expressions of distin
guished consideration—and. by the
way. they make the finest kisses—
or It may cost you millions, if you
have them. It may cost you a king
dom. and it may cost your life: and
it may cost both.
Kisses never came higher than now.
V HAT is, for the population
» at large. Nor need the
mass of the world's popu
lation be called on to in
dorse the sentiment. The
_ national percentages of
conspicuous examples are
too impressive to call for a census of
the crowds, although, what with the
diamond trust whooping up the price
of engagement rings and the hens or
ganized to ele\ate their yearly output,
the kiss market has gone up even in
France, where it was supposed to let
happiness radiate, free as air, with
out costing more than a compliment.
The conspicuous examples that
stand out in history as expensive kiss
es—like those Antony obtained from
Cleopatra and Jacob earned from La
ban's attractive daughter—are being
paralleled nowadays on the wholesale
scale, with women figuring pretty
prominently among the buyers, al
though the men, as usual, are the
more daring operators.
Very often the price that is actual
ly paid reaches a level far above the
original valuation. Adonis may be per
suaded, after long youthful timidity,
to let Venus have a lock of his hair
as a souvenir of their meeting, and it
turns out that he has sacrificed his
Immortal soul.
Whether the soul of the latest and
most romantic Adonis, Manuel of Por
j tugal, went into limbo with his neat
little throne, must be settled between
Manuel and the recording angel in the
future; but Paris and Portugal had
very decided opinions, at the time of
the one-night revolution, that it was
the kiss of Mile. Gaby Deslys that
cost him the throne.
Just a Eoy King.
To look at Mile. Gaby the average
man might confess to a willingness
to sacrifice a bouquet or two or the
front seat in the motor cur for a few
kisses; but he would think several
times before he would take a chance
on swapping a gold-plated ancestral
throne for her. luminous eyes includ
ed.
The trouble about being a boy king,
as Manuel was, is that boy kings don't
even think twice, especially Spanish
and Portuguese kinglets. Manuel had
sought all over Europe for a pretty
princess who would take her chances
beside him on the throne, with the
dynamite and the rifle bullets which
the Portuguese conspirators handle so
loosely liable to happen along any
minute; and he was really in quite
an unhappy frame of mind when he
ran across Mile. Deslys.
And that is the time when a pretty
woman's lips look most alluring. He
was not much more than a boy. and a
boy can't be expected to know that
kisses are expensive, because he is
so near to his childhood, when all
womankind seems eager to give them
to him for nothing.
The revolutionaries needed only
that single Indiscretion to give them
the weapon the1^ needed to insure
popular support—the boy king was
going the way of all kings, duplicat
ing the career of his father. Carlos,
wasting the wealth of the people on
a French actress. Mile. Gaby Deslys
may not have received the price he
paid for the kisses that her pretty
mouth vouchsafed him; but Manuel as
suredly paid it over to the blood-stain
ed creditors who demanded it. The
bitterest part of it has been that near
ly every other pretty woman who had
met him was believed to be willing to
let him take twice as many kisses for
nothing—handsome young kings being
rather scarce—while he still held his
royal position.
But he came off rather luckily in his
misfortune as compared with the ap
palling tragedy that was enacted a
few years ago in Servia, when King
Alexander, equally foolish king and
yet more ardent lover, closed a career
of miserable ineptitude and the rash
est follies with all the splendid cour
age of tlie primal, heroic man. defend
ing the woman he had mated with.
Queen Diana was of the same class
as Manuel's inamorata, but far more
notorious. She gave the same weapon
for her lover's destruction into the
pitiless hands of his foes.
Servian Monarch's Romance.
But Servia's monarch, if he was
reckless, had the courage of his love.
He married her. made her his queen,
with full knowledge of the risk he ran.
And when, in the alarm of that as
sassins' midnight raid, he might have
saved himself by leaving her to the un
escapable fate they confronted, he
fought out the hopeless fight there
beside her. and perished with her.
Life and throne Servia's king gave
for woman's kisses; but there are few
men with blood in their veins who
will believe that royal lover gave his
soul.
But all three may have been the
price paid by Austria's Crown Prince
Rudolf for the kisses of the Baroness
Betsera, with whom he was desperate
ly in love. The pair were found dead
in the hunting seat of Mayerling, and
the only explanation of the tragedy
ever accepted has been that ven
geance found him out suddenly, In
stantly in the midst of his sin.
The whole houseful of heirs to the
ancient and powerful empire of Aus
tria has proved cheerfully ready to
give up all tor love. Archduke Jo
seph Ferdinand, madly in love with
Frauleln Xitzko, the daughter of a
Viennese restaurant keeper, flung
away his chances for the throne by
fleeing with her to Germany. He had
been placed in line of succession by
the same sort of romance on the part
of his brother, the Archduke Leopold
Salvator, who married a soubrette
named Adamowicz eight years ago.
He has been followed in the succes
sion by the Archduke Francis Fer
dinand, who as openly defied Emper
or Francis Joseph and all the laws of
the realm by marrying Countess So
phia Chotek. the lovely widow of a
Hungarian nobleman.
But that last defiance, with the lov
er the only heir left, broke the anathe
ma that had been previously visited
on all those royal lovers of the reign
ing family. After years of futile ef
fort to part them the o'.d emperor has
been compelled to acknowledge his
unwelcome heiress by marriage, to
raise her in rank and put things in
order for her seat on the throne be
side her husband.
Sacrifice All for Love.
The Archduke Charles Louis, infat- |
uated with the daughter of Prof. Czu
ber, of the Vienna university, vows
he will never wed any other woman;
and even the women of the race show i
the same determined sptrit In paying
whatever bitter price the sweet kisses !
of love may require.
The most sensational scandal j
Europe's courts knew ior years was
the elopement of Louise, sister of
Archduke Leopold and crown prin
cess of Saxony, who eloped from her
royal palace with Giron, the tutor of
her children, and is now plain Mae.
i Toselli, lost to all the friends and
i grandeurs of her former high estate.
The Portuguese throne, which young
Manuel lost for a few kisses from a
French comedienne, might possi-bly
have gone to the duke of Rraganza,
who was recognized at the court oi
Austria as a legitimate pretender tc
the Portuguese crown. But the charm
ing face—and, perhaps, the more
charming figure—of Anita Stewart and
her millions flashed into his view the
golden aureole that is so blinding tc
princes as well as common mortals,
i Francis Joseph, who has no poor taste
i himself in pretty women, has always
] been the bar to Cupid in the realm,
with Cupid either sneaking under or
boldly vaulting over to make the
matches he has set his heart on.
Braganza was given the alternative,
by the emperor, of formally renounc
ing his claims to the Portuguese
j throne or of abandoning bis marriage
1 with the dainty and wealthy Anita.
• It was the throne that was sacrificed
when the choice had to be made.
Then Anita also paid dearly because
she had to stand for about a million
of the prince's debts
Vanderbilt Put Love First.
Precisely the same renunciation of
heirship was made to the full extent
or proud position and immense wealth
that is possible in America, by that
brilliant aud firm-natured son of his
futker, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Jr., when
he married Grace Wilson and told his
father that he might do as he pleased
with the fl0.000.000 of the Vanderbilt
fortune—which was exactly what
stern old Cornelius did. Alfred
! Gwynne got the bulk of the fortune
! and the headship of the family, so far
I as the father's dictum could convey
them.
\\ hue the dictum workea practical
! ly with the cash, it has failed with
i the leadership. Cornelius is recog
nized. socially, as the chief of the Van
derbilts. here and abroad, and he has
earned $25,000,000 on his own account
since his father died and cut him oil
with the $1.0004100 a Vanderbilt was
| supposed to need to keep him from
■ starving.
The price that W. E. Corey is be
lieved to have paid to escape from the
bonds that held him to the wife who
stood by him until he made his fortune
in steel in order to enjoy the kisses of
gorgeous Maybelle Gilman, is general
ly put at $4,000,000. H. M Flagler,
the Florida magnate, whose first wife
became insane, and who wanted to
wed Miss Mary Lily Kennan. of Wil
mington. X. C., spent $4,100,000. first
and last, before he could place the bri
dal kiss on the new Mrs. Flagler's
lips.
James B. Duke's first bridal oscu
lation for his second wife cost him
$1,600,000. in the form of the magnifi
cent new residence he had built to
content her with her lot.
The kings and queens of earlier
times may have paid as much; but
the market value of kisses has cer
tainly risen for the proletariat of the
present. The two sexes offer differ
ent explanations, each, equally cred
itable to the human race.
The women think it is because the
men have more to give for them, the
men believe the kisses are worth mere
than they used to be.
Perhaps both are right.
The high cost of living doesn'i rf
concile many people to the low cost c
dying.
VAST FIELDS OF LEGAL LORE
Law Libraries Scattered in Profusion
Throughout the States of the
Union.
_
Suppose that a lawyer. unhampered
by lack of time and money, wishes tc
make exhaustive researches in any
field of legal investigation, where in
! the United States, asks a writer in
the Green Bag. can he find the books
j necessary for his quest?
I According to statistics of public, so
; ciety and school libraries having 5.000
: volumes and over in 1908, there arc
109 law libraries aud 54 state'libraries
in the United States. The latter con
tain many law books, but the number
has not been ascertained.
The 109 law libraries contained in
1908 a total of 1,975,014 bound vol
t umes and 62,125 pamphlets. Of these
libraries 28 had over 25.000 volumes
{ and five more than 50,000 volumes.
The largest iaw libraries in the
I I'nlted States are, according to pub
) lished reports. Harvard, with 102,826
1 volumes; New York State Law Li
■ brr.rv SC.554 volumes; Association of
the Bar of the City of New York, 75.
722 volumes; New York Law Institute,
67.398 volumes, and Law Association
of Philadelphia, 50,223 volumes. (1908
figures. *
In \oiumes the law libraries of the
country are large enough to contain
untold treasures, and for the most
part their treasures are literally un
told. Many catalogues have been is
sued, and it would be possible to
bring these together and compile
something like a union list of legal
literature. But the result would be
unsatisfactory, because printed cata
logues are out of date in growing li
braries almost before they are printed.
A union list of books in the whole
field of law would, however, be an
unnecessary compilation, since it may ;
; be taken for granted that each law j
j library duplicates every other law li
brary along certain well known lines.
But to bring out in relief notable col
lections contained in law libraries is
quite another matter.
Special libraries are springing up 1
all over the country. They have been
a prominent subject of discussion at
recent library conventions and %gre
acquiring a literature of their own.
In harmony with this developmcn;
the I'nited States bureau of educa
tion is compiling the statistics of sp»
cial collections in libraries in the I'cit
ed States. This publication will cove
all special collections, no matter it
what class they belong, and prorain
ent among them should be special co:
lections of law.

who is of medium size?"
“Mercy!’ said the cynic. “How for

“So you have quit laughing at your

persons doubt the wisdom of buying
this machine vending insurance, there
is one point in its favor—one's time
is not taken by an agent.
As soon as the nickel goes Into the
machine there Is the clicking of a
spring which stamps the exact time
the policy Is issued. A handle Is
turned and out comes the policy. The
person getting the policy must write
his name on the stub and separate it
where it says: "Tear here." The stub
on which the name has been written
must be poked into a slot and then
the insurance Is effective.
Automatic machines are almost as
old as civilization, but each year sees
some new machine added to the list.
The stamp and Insurance vending de
vices come under the new classifica
tion. as do many others. For example
on Twenty-third street, in New York,
there is what is known as the Auto
mat, a restaurant where soup and al
most any food desired may be pur
chased by contributing certain sums
in a slot machine.
For several years there has been a
shoe shining machine where one may
have his shoes shined. There is what
is known as a mutiphcne, which plays
twenty-four distinct Kdison records.
Machine That Sells Stamps.
The machine has the appearance of
a grandfather clock with its big dial.
The patron desiring to hear a certain
record, moves the hand of the dial to
his favorite tune and when the nickel
sounds a bell, the music starts.
At Coney Island in N'ew York,
palms are read automatically. The
hand is placed on a little tickler which
feels the lines and according to the
impression depends the reading. Any
one of thirty readings is possible. An
other new automatic machine is a
picture vending contraption where
one may have his photograph taken
automatically.
There is much interest being mani
fested in Paris in an ingenious de
vice invented by Antal Fedor for reg
istering letters. A letter bearing
stamps sufficient for ordinary postage |
is placed in an opening at the top of i
the machine, with the address side in 1
contact with a plate. A handle is
turned and in a few seconds the let
ter is registered and a receipt drops i
from the tube.
Then at the drinking fountains in
many of the big cities there is a ma
chine which sells paraffine-coated j
drinking cups.
COW GOT HER CUDS MIXED
Sukey Was a Good Animal Until She
Went Into the Banking and
Junk Business.
Greensburg. Pa.—If Thomas Morri- j
son’s pet cow hadn't neglected the
dairy business for the banking and
junk business she would still be in
the land of the living somewhere in
this vicinity.
It was a find of 17 cents that start
ed her on her downward career—
three nickels and two pennies which
a barn boy had placed in a line on the
top of a fence to gloat over, and then
forgot in the face of some greater ex
citement. Sukey nosed around and
swallowed the coins. Her taste for
metal thus whetted she proceeded to
swallow a number of wire nails, pull
ing them out of the fence, and wound
up her repast by taking into her sys
tem five feet of steel wire. It was the
wire that tangled her up. It insisted
in sojourning in all three stomachs
at once. Sukey found her wires were
crossed when she tried to chew her
cud. so she died. An autopsy was held
and the concrete evidences of the
facts here related was found in her
little "tummy”—in all three of them,
in fact.
Scientists Keeping Eye on Fog.
The movement of air is variously
designated, according to its velocity,
as a zephyr, breeze, wind, gale or hur
ricane. With fogs the designations
are mists, slight, moderate or thick.
A dense or thick fog, according to the
weather bureau, obscures objects at a
distance of 1,000 feet.
In Great Britain a body of men
known as the Elder Brethren of Trin
ity House have arranged for fog ex
periments at six lightships, and when
the reports are complete a special re
port will be made. Ships will move
thereafter guided by this report.

WANTED TO BE AGREEABLE
Farmer’s Rather Humorous Explana
tion for Telling Exceedingly
“Tall” Story.
Irving Batcheller once told a story
of a farmer on the Connecticut hills.
“Pretty steep land for planting. Isn't
: it?” a visitor asked the tiller of the
j soil.
“Pretty steep," the farmer assented.
I “I suppose it's quite difficult to
1 plant your corn?”
“Quite difficult.” came the echo.
The visitor was interested, and
would not be put off with short re
plies.
“Eh—how- do you manage to plant
on this hill?” he persisted.
The farmer gazed at him pityingly.
“We have to shoot it all into the
J earth with shotguns, stranger,” he as
i sured his guest.
The visitor gasped. "Really?” he
ejaculated. “Really now? Is that ac
tually true?”
The farmer sighed and turned upon
his guest a look of withering scorn.
“Xo, that isn't true,” he answered.
I “I'm trying to make conversation.”

Successful Life Work.
"He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often, and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
Intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task; who left
the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a
perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of
earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
who has always looked for the best
in others, and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration; whose
memory a benediction." — President
Schurman.
A Frequent Speaker.
A member for a northern constit
uency. who was one day reproached
by a disappointed supporter for never
opening his mouth in the house, repu
diated the accusation with indignation.
Not a day passed, he declared, but
that he said something; and it was
reported in the papers, too. In con
firmation of his statement he pro
duced the report of the last debate,
and pointed triumphantly to the
“Hear, hears.” with which certain
speeches were punctuated. “That’s
me," he said.—Tit-Bits.
That Awful Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Smith—She is so unobserving!
Mrs. Brown—And always complain
ing. The other day. while ballooning
near a storm center, she collided with
a rain cloud and reported to the au
thorities that the driver of a.i aero
plane sprinkler had splashed water all
over her best gown!—Widow.
The Final Settlement.
“A verdict for *10.000 isn’t so bad.”
said the junior partner. “How* much
shall we give our client?”
"Oh, give him $50,” answered the
senior partner. “But hold'”
“Well?”
“Don't be hasty. Promise to give
him $50."
Advantages.
“You must have found the arctic cir
cle very unpleasant.”
\es, replied the arctic explorer;
“but it has its advantages. The cli
mate is disagreeable, but the people
aren’t always worrying you about
proofs.”
