Show IMPRACTICABLE KISSING BEES. Even Apostle-Senator Weed Smoot has his good traits. The Dcsercla Xews says that Reed said, in the tabernacle on Monday: "I once heard a man say ho had never kissed his wife since he was married. 1. do not believe in that doctrine. 1 havo never left my home since J." had oiic without kissing my wife good-bye. and 1 wish every father in 'Aon would do the same not to my wife, but. to his. (Laughter.) II a, ha; here, too. Quite a joke. But in wishing that every father in Ziou would kiss his wife before going to work in the morning, for instance, how on earth does Reed expect that some of 'em would ever get away from home? There was Brigham, as you will remember, re-member, who 'had nineteen of hcrr what in the world would Rccd expect that poor man to do, wc wonder? Then thero is Joseph P., whose conjugal affinity affin-ity is diVcdcd into fifths. But why go further with the" illustration 7 Perhaps Heed assumes to do the same with kisses as. he docs with dollars make nine go farther than ten so that his osculating lavishuess is not so spendthrift', spend-thrift', after all. And speaking of making nine dollars go as far as ten, Reed will be extremely careful not to preach that sort of doctrine doc-trine when "Uncle" Jcsso Knight is within earshot. |
