OUR WAR THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
There is a striking similarity betwen the feelings
f the Russians toward Americans at the present
time and the sentiments of Frenchmen 100 years ago.
"Ungrateful Americans," the Russians call us. The
Frenchmen used harder names.
For what France did for us in the war of the
revolution our gratitude always was and always has
been profound, hut it was perfectly well understood
that France's larger part in American affairs at that

honorable, and do it quickly and persistently. Re
member that every record to true success runs
through a high and righteous purpose. Dou't wait
for something to turn up like Kieawber did, but go
out and turn' it up. That something is waiting to be
turned up, and if you do not turn it up, someone
else will.
The world admires and applauds a hustler, and
there is no promise anywhere of success to either the
lazy man or the coward. Courage is as necessary to
success in the peaceful pursuits of life as on the
battlefield, and . in neither . place can victory be
achieved without it.

John Oliver of Philadelphia, m fol

upon the British.
And right well did the plan work. Still, it was.
a good thing for America that France took a hand in
the game. Frenchmen helped to win Torktown.
But gratitude, however sincere and generous, can
never keep down those mere sturdy promptings of
the heart. Genet, their first minister, came over,
tried to drag us into another war with Great Britain,
and acted as if he owned the country. It was quite
necessry that he should go back home. Then, when
this government made the Jay treaty with Great
Britain, France expressed her anger, ordered our
minister to leave, and began to capture American
vessels. Our commissioners, sent to Paris, were ap
proached with requests for bribes. The correspond
ence with the French officials on this subject, after
ward published in full, carried very high the popu
lar cry, "Millions for defense, not one cent for trib
ute." Indeed, matters went so far that an army was
raised; Washington, then 68, came forth and com
manded it; warships were built, and Truxton cap
tured two French frigates, all of which led to a bet
ter understanding in which France did the proper
thing and ceased her high-handed proceedings.
Frenchmen have never quite excused this chapter
in American history, and a few of them are inclined
to call it American ingratitude, forgetting that any
ether course on the part of the people would have
been the surrender of their manliness and independ
ence. Fortunately, the strain between the United
' States and Russia is nothing like so strong as that
"between the United States and France, but because
Russia gave the union moral support in the civil
war her statesmen conceive it to be our duty to
sympathize with her in her present trouble.
Unfortunately, they do not understand that our
, president, and secretary of state, and congress, and
all our other bodies have not influence enough, or
law enough, or authority enough to control that in
definable but potent something called public senti
ment, even if they so desired.
It has been interesting to watch the expression of
this sentiment in America since the war began. At
first it seemed to be largely the feeling that goes to
the little fellow in he fight. Then Japan's success
and Russia's unpreparedness had something to do
with its increase and the outburst of the paragraph
ers, who undoubtedly wield an influence upon the
surface though and conversation of the day. But as
the war has settled down to business there has been
a calmer canvass of the situation, and on the whole
Russia has small cause to complain of America's fair
ness. Indeed, the warmest hope among our people
seems to be that this government shall not get into
any part of the quarrel. Saturday Evening Post
DEFINITION OF A KISS.
Kiss is a noun, it is a name; proper noun because
it's the proper thing to do when they are ready and
the heart is willing; plural number because two per
form it, common gender, because it is performed by
one of each sex, possessive case, because it possesses
a delicate infatuation for the human race and agrees
with the parties performing the act. Kissing is
closely connected wth "buss," which is a good old
backwoods expression meaning a kiss that is highly
enjoyed by two greenhorns who have powerful lungs
to perform the act with. In this case buss means one
kiss; rebus means kiss again; plunbus means a num
ber of kisses; hornibus means to be caught by the
old folks; nierriribus means to steal a kiss; sympli
bus means to kiss the hands instead of the lips;
blunderbus means to kiss an old maid by mistake,
and omnibus means to kiss all present, including the
mother-in-law. Exchange.
