had stayed ttxvny longer, for this
"dopy," sticky weather Is not such as
to offer much Inspiration to the ones
made enthusiastic by their Hiiintrcr
outing. They were Kolnir to do h lot

golf, now flannels for the heathen, take
i Swedish exercises and do church work.
(Already they have had a season of
backsliding, (hone who have come
'home, and arc saying, yawnlngly,
'"What Is the use? The universe will
'move along even If we don't push." So
'they read the most um'dlfylng novel
'they can find, which Is "The Visits of
Klliinheth," when nil the lime they
ought to be reading I'olonel Holes' new
book.

THE REFORMED GUNNER.
He Has Learned a Better Way to En
joy Himself in the Woods Than to
Kill Things.
I remember once, wimp three of four
years ago, I stood on a lonely beach,
Just at sunset, says a writer In the
ltoekland "Independent." The last of
the red rays was. setting all the waves
on die. and crimsoning the side of the
sand-hills behind me. There was hard
ly a breath of wind to disturb the
waters of the bay and everything but
the gun on my shoulder spoke only of
peace and quiet.
I stod resting, looking out over the
waters to the other side of the bay,
wheie the hills were fast changing
from n sober brown to n rich purple.
I was completely absorbed In the
beauty of the scene, when all at once
a tern sailed slowly in range. I rnlsed
the gun and (lied, and the poor tein,
with a broken wing, fell whirling
through the nlr to the water. Wishing
to end Its inlsety, I filed another
charge, but that fell short, and then
my ammunition being gone, 1 should
ered my gun went back slowly over
the sand-hills', leaving ihe poor tern
to lloat back nnd forth on the dark
water, and utter Its mounrful ciy.
In the morning I went to the bench
again, nnd found the poor creatine
half alive, half dead, dragging itself
up the sand, covered with blood, and
Its poor broken wing hanging from Its
body. In mercy I wrung its neck..
Never shall 1 forget the look of those
deep, shining black eyes, that seemed
to ask only for death and relief from
suffering; eyes that soon glazed over
In death, as Its pretty head dropped
and the body beca-mo limp in my
hands,
It was murder and for a moment or
two after the sun seemed to lose Its
brightness, and the fresh beauty of the
morning went away. I laid' the bird
on the sands and went back to the
house, with u firm resolve never to
tire another spot at a living thing.
My comrnd in the field, why
should wo continue this slaughter of
Innocents? I have learned of late to
go Into the wood nnd enjoy the beauty
of the life around me, to look nt all
the living things nsi n part of the won
ders nature haH put before our eyes,
nnd not something to be slain.
If you go gunning because you love
the woods and their beauty, why, they
nif still the same with or without the
gun, Thero la still much of amuse
ment ns well as Instruction to be gain
ed In studying the birds Instead nf
killing them. I have spent more than
one happy half hour whstllng to a
quail and hearing his answering calls
as he came nearer and nearer until at
last (Uncovering the fraud, with a
saucy flirt of his wings ho sprang
Into the air, and went buzzing away
Into the trees. Could I find It In my
heart to kill such a beauty?
I am convinced that, whatever the
place or season. It Is a poor spot t for
n man to follow which brutalizes and
degrades his to such an extent that
ho Is willing yes, longs to slaughter.
! HER POINT OF VIEW 5
AT Till-: t'nlvcrslty of Prague, It
seems lo be the custom for the
rector of the I'nlverslty to kiss
the brow of the candidate for gradu
ation homm. Th kiss goes along
with the diploma and has always been
considered patU of the programme.
At n rcvent cointnencetiU'iit when a.
degree was about to be conferred on
a young woman graduate, she unex
pectedly and emphatically refused to
submit to the chaste "brow -kiss" of
the clergyman, and all sorts of trouble
Is likely to result. The authorities of
thi university are puzzled to decide
whether to abolish the clerical kiss or
the girl. That Is, whether to allow
girls the hard-fought triumph of be
ing graduated from thnt venerable In
stitution, It they can't take all the
traditional accompaniments,
What tduill a poor girl do? Here
are l-'lla Wheeler Wilcox and other
authorities who declare solemnly and
publicly through the medium of yellow
journals et al, that It Is naughty for
a young person of the feminine persua
sion to allow heisolf to be kissed by
a innti unless sho Is enguged to marry
him, and even then It Is hinted that
she should be, a llule coy In the mat
ter of oMMilnilou. They even go so
far as to say that a trlllo of wifely
lvserve In the way of caresses is a
gooil icedpe for catching and keeping
n husband, and yet here Is n vener
able Institution of learning which per
mits and even enjoins kissing at com
mencement. The mental picture of a
sweet, young graduate In cap ami
gown dexterously ducking her head
and bobbing around in the frantic
endeavor to dodge an ecclesiastical
caress ns she seizes her diploma Is
somewhat comical. Doubtless the tev
erend author of misplaced kUsos
couldn't see the funny side of the situ
ation, but to most of us It has Its
humor. The matter of such a little
thing iih a kiss causing the delibera
tion of a wise and venerable faculty
of a great university over the prob
lem to kl-s or not to kiss affords still
further theme for smiles.
It has gone out of fashion for the
olllclallng clergyman lo kiss the bilde
nt wedding ceremonies when that used
to be allowed and even encouraged.
It Is hinted that this particular per
quisite of the profession has been one
of the inducements which reconciled
certain rather worldly young men to
the holy calling and that the older they
gtew tlie less they cared to lelinqulsh
the privilege. Hut now that some very
proper young woman who has b-en
brought up carefully In the way she
should go has the temerity to decline
the heredity kiss of a university lector,
there Is no telling where the proprie
ties nre going to stop or proceed
whichever way you choose to put It,
It Is said that there Is a great deal
more spooning In summer than In win
ter. Whether people give proprieties
as well ns religion a vacation in hot
weather Is not explained, but the lax
ity of chaperonnge at seashore, lake
and mountain Is probably responsible
lo some degree. I heard of one chap
el our who was in great demand this
season because she was so near
sighted she couldn't tell live yards
away a girl In a shirt waist from a
man In a shirt waist.
Phe wasn't any more popular than
the other ch'aperono who was addicted
to naps so sweetly and graciously pro
lound that nothing short of a Standard
OH explosion w.ould awaken her.
Another was very much admired for
th- Hist day of ri camping party or
summer excursion. After that her
populatlty was doubled In quality, but
halved In quantity. To be moro ex
pliil, on day was all that was neces
sary to demonstrate the fact that ray
lady had no nefd to keep n watchful
eye on her charges as she pre-empted
nil the attentions of the masculine
members of the ii.irtf.'. After she
had annexed the men severally and
collectively there naturally enough en
sued a season of coolness between the
( liaperoiii' and the maidens, who went
disconsolately about with their in ins
around each other's waist. Some of
tho' men arc so dense that they don't
know yet why the charming chaperono
of a certain hou-e party has not ap
peared In the same capacity again this
summer.
Yes, the warm weather and the ac
tual emptiness of the mind must be
responsible for considerable giddiness
of behavior. I heard of a chapeione
who did a little cake-walk on the top
of n grand piano one twilight time and
hadn't been Indulging lu champagne
and was a person of eminent respecta
bility and position, while another sat
In a cosey corner an entlte evening nnd
allowed a palmistry-Inclined young
man to study her hand. It was a
rather dim cosy corner.
Hut as to spooning for I digress an
extremely proper young man shocked
me Inexpressibly the other day by
confiding the fact that he was rathr
fond of spooning In the summer and
that he bad a weakness for girls with
auburn hair and dimples. "They are
more klssnble, you know." be ex
plained, mldlng hastily, "but they
won't all be kissed," a statement which
unaccountably seemed to afford me
some satisfaction. I happen to know
a few auburn haired girls.
Then he continued solemnly: "Hut,
do you know, much as I like to kiss
them, I'd always rather they wouldn't
allow It. Funny, Isn't It? 'Pair o'
ducks,' as Mrs, Partington would say.
Fact, though: there was never a kiss
as sweet us the one a fellow couldn't
set, Just tell 'em that, will you?" And
I'm telling It.
