Story of Stolen Kiss
No Money tor Greeley '
of Revolutionary Days
From Mount Holly, N. J., comes a
story of a kiss snatched from Stephen
Girard’s pretty young wife by CoL
Walter Stewart of the American army,
which is a cherished legend of that
section and for which there Is consid­
erable historic foundation. It is gen­
erally known that upon the approach
of the British army to Philadelphia in
1777, StepHen Girard, who was in busi­
ness there and who later became one
of the leading financiers of that city,
moved to Mount Holly and purchased
a small farm. Here he and his wife
lived and kept store for two years.
The story of the stolen kiss is told
In Stephen Simpson’s biography of
Stephen Girard, published In 1832.
During Girard’s residence at Mount
Holly, the biographer states, the
American army encamped In the
neighborhood, and Girard’s store af­
forded many moments of hilarity to
the soldiers. One afternoon Colonel
Stewart and a fellow officer visited
the store to make a small purchase
and to see'Girard’s pretty wife. Colo­
nel Stewart could-not, resist the temp­
tation to snatch a kiss from Mrs.
Girard while her husband had his
back turned. The lady immediately
told her-husband* who forced the colo­
nel to apologise. It Is said that the
occurrence caused a lot of disturbance
at the time.
For many years the story was be­
lieved to have originated In the au­
thor’s Imagination for It was known
that he had a personal grudge against
Girard, but the discovery that Walter
Stewart was a colonel In the Conti­
nental army and that he spent six
days In Mount Holly during Girard’s
residence there gave the story some
credence.—Pathfinder Magazine.
Hare at Least Got a
Brief Run for His Life
“Talkin’ about running*,” said the
seedy man, “ about the finest bit o’
sprintin’ I ever saw was in the coun­
try year before last. I’d been out all
day rabbit shootin’, and had the most
awful luck, when I spied a whoppin’
great hare about two hundred yards
away. Takln’ a careful sight I let fly,
but the Instant my bullet touched him,
and before it had time to penetrate
his skin, that hare was off like a flash.
“I never saw , two such evenly
matched things as that hare and my
bullet. For over half a mile they sped
on together; neither gainin’ on the
other, the bullet just managin’ to keep
In touch with the hare’s skin. At the
end Of a mile, however, the pace be-
gaq to tell on the hare and he faltered
for a moment.
“ ’Twas fatal. The bullet sped on
and the poor beast was bowled over.
He deserved his freedom if ever an
animal did. He’d have got it too. If
he could have stuck out another So
yards, for that’s about as far as my
rifle carries.’’—Exchange.

; Technically, the tomato is classed
by botanists as a berry. In the strict­
ly scientific sense a berry is a simple
fruit In which the entire pericarp or
edible portion. Is fleshy except the
outer skin. According to this classifi­
cation, tomatoes, grapes, currants and
bananas are all berries. All berries
are fruits; that is, the berry Is only a
species of the laiger division of plants
called fruits. But popularly there is
much confusion as to whether toma­
toes should be called vegetables or
fruits. The fact Is there is no well-
drawn distinction between fruits and
^vegetables In the popular sense of the
terms. However, courts in this coun­
try have held that all those plants,
like potatoes, cabbage, carrots, peas,
celery, lettuce and tomatoes, which
are eaten, whether cooked or raw,
during the principal part of a meal
.are to be regarded as vegetables,
while those used only for dessert are
fruits. But this comes a long way
from the difficulty.
