After all the severe denuncia
tion tliat has lalien to tne lot ol
tnat ancient ana much patronized
institution, the kiss, because of
ceitam anegea microbe spreading
tendencies, it is indeed cheerful
to una tliat some one has come to
its defense with the calm, cold
evidence of an analytical report
to sustain their contention tnat
the kiss is by no means so deadly
as some of its tradueers would
have us believe. For that is just
what has happened! Hear it, all
ye kiss inclined! The kiss, de
spite the- efforts of the lofty por
ticoed ones to convince us to the
contrary, has been proven no more
deadly than a hundred and one
other things we encounter with
out a thought of their containing
the slightest hint of danger. In
deed, it is proven that the kiss,
under ordinary conditions, is real
ly not dangerous at all. No less
an authority than the United
States public health service has
delivered the momentous pro
nouncement that kisses, take
them through and bye, are far
more innocent as spreaders of the
deadly germ and microbe than
are the omnipresent ny or that
gentle companion of our slum
ber hours, the mosquito. In fact,
a report of the service recently
issued, declares that the kiss is
ninety nine per cent pure. This is
no idle statement, remember, for
it is backed up by a comprehen
sive analysis of the germ dissipat
ing possibilities of over four
thousand subjects examined un
der the rigorous rules employed
by your Uncle Samuel in determ
inging just what is dangerous to
the public health and what is not.
Therefore, upon the unimpeacha
ble testimony of the government
the kiss possesses no more dangers
that a can of sardines or a dozen
and one other articles of diet in
which we indulge almost every
day of our lives. But one per
cent of all kisses are dangerous,
according to the report which
goes on to say that even these
are not really dangerous to the
average healthy adult. They are
dangerous to children and the
weak and debilitated but, again,
this does not mean that they will
surely cause illness in the event
that one of them happens to be
received. There is, indeed, danger
that some of the many germs
carried around by the one per
cent of possible kissers may be
transmitted to some possible
kissee, but that is as far as it
goes- Out of the total of 4,oq3
persons examined but one per
cent were found to be carrying
dangerous germs in their oscul
torv annarati | which mieht be
transmitted to others through
the act of kissing. It is true that
in this small percentage sqmq par
1
<a
ticular virulent specimens were
found but in the majority of cases
the deadliest was the diphtheria
germ. It was found that practical
ly all of the dangerous one per
cent carried this germ in some
quantity or other but, that the ex
perts did not look upon this as an
alarming matter, is indicated by
the mere statement that “too
intimate contact” should be
avoided. ‘Too intimate contact
get that? This means that you
can “take a chance” at even this
one per cent without running too
great risk of contracting some in
fection which will provoke the
attentions of the doctor and un
dertaker. Who, with no ’more
stringent caution than this, would
not be willing to run some little
risk of picking up a few germs
particularly if they should be hid
ing behind an especially rosy pair
of lips framed in an inviting smile
and with a sparkling glance from
rougish eyes to tease one on?

MINING OUTLOOK
FOP. THE KOYUKUK
In a report rendered by Deputj
Manual neppenstaii to ins cl.iei
ana aiso in a letter received from
ur. uaniorth ot the fair bank;
i imes, the conditions in a min
ing way in the Koyukuk and the
outiook for the spring are prettj
\\eii explained. The outlook is
very good tor the spring. Therj
is moie activity shown on Ham
mond liver ana Nolan creek than
ever before. The extremely cold
weather has frozen up Hammond
river, so the operators are
uothered very little with water
there, and some of them report
Having good pay. On Nolan
creek, every claim from discovery
to o below is working, and all
have good pay. Gold and Myrtle
creeks, two of the oldest produc
ers in the camp, will add consid
erably to the output of the spring
cleanup. Jack Thompson and
Oscar Johnson, who are working
on Gold creek, report that they
have very good pay. Jack and
Martin Slisco report that they
have found excellent pay on Myr
tle creek.
Porcupine creek has taken on a
new lease of life. There are sev
eral men prospecting on that
creek this winter, and they report
finding very satisfactory pros
pects. It is reported in Wiseman
that Charles Murray and partners
on Rye creek, in the Wild river
country, have reached bedrock
and found some money, but whe
ther it is pay or not is not known
in Wiseman- They are the only
ones in the Wild river district
who have been able to get to bed
rock. The others were all trou
bled with water.—Fairbanks

SAW A HORSE
FOR FIRST TIME
* |
It will probably be news to,
many people that there are in the
Yukon many Indians who have
never 9een a horse. Yet such is
the case, says a Little Salmon
correspendent of the Dawson
News- Recently there came into
Little Salmon Joseph Cote, and
with him came an Indian bearing
the famous name of Sousa. He is
about 27 years old, but never in
his life had he seen a horse before.
Walter Lamb, who manages the
Taylor, Drury and Pedlar post at
Little Salmon, has a team there
for banking wood, and great was
the curosity of Sousa when the
time came for the horses to come
home. He edged up to them, very
carefully, and looked them over.
"Have a ride?” said Lamb, and
brought a horse near. Sousa
could stand it no longer, but ran
as fast as he could to the cabin
for shelter, whence he looked in
safety at the strange beasts.
There was another excitement
in connection with the horses.
The travelers had ten dogs with
them, none of whom had seen a
horse before. The nearest thing
to a horse that the dogs had seen
was a moose, and when the horses
came in the dogs tried to break
their chains and get at them, and
it took three men with black
snakes to change their ideas on
he subject.
This is the first time that Sou
sa had seen the mightv Yukon.
He in company with many other
Indians some vears ago came
over the divide from the Macken
zie to Ross river, at the mouth of
which Cote has a trading post
and conditions were so favorable
that thev all decided to stay.
Since that time families have been
coming over all the time.—Ruby
