THE CORDOVA KISS
Now that spring has climbed out
of the lap of winter and the sun
slowly rises towards the zenith, the
melting snows, the twittering of the
robins and the music of rushing
waters have also awakened the
spring poets, and the tapers of the
territory are deluged with quatrains,
sonnets and madrigals from those who
have taken off their winter flannels
and dosed their systems well with
calomel and rhubarb.
It takes but little to bring out the
poetic side of the average Alaskan,
who hears music in the climp of the
snowshovel, the smash of the axe into
the chopping block, the roar of the
avalanche and the eternal round of
keeping the home fires burning, all
conducive to poetry; and therefore
the aged and worn take their pens
in hand and spout like a sperm whale
in a herring run. We have read
columns of verse about almost every
conceivable subject, but it remains
for a Cordova poetress to rip the hem
off the skirts of the Muses over a kiss.
One weenty, teenty kiss,—maybe la
den with bock beer substitute from
Indianapolis and disguised by the
germs of twenty years’ hirsute facial
adornment.
The bliss of a Cordova kiss is so
evident that we cannot refrain from
comment after reading the following:
But in that last mad moment
We kissed—our mouths were met—
Dear God! I’d die a thousand deaths
To kiss and linger yet!
There have been many varieties of
kisses described by poets since Adam
ravished the lips of Eve and found
it good, including the kiss of friend
ship, the kiss a man gets from his
wife upon her return from the States
after a dozen female frineds have left
divers and sundry germs upon her
ruby lips; the kiss of your first
Sweetheart; the osculatory episode
with the hired girl; the old maid’s
kiss leaving a reminder of dill pickles
and lemons; the kiss one pays ten
cents for at a church fair; the mother
in-law nightmare; the kiss of the
sweet young thing that leaves a taste
like clover in May time, and the kiss
Theda Bara left with the movies;—
but the Cordova brand, if accurately
described, has them all beaten too bad
for comparison.
When one thinks about the oscu
latory luxuries enjoyed by the citizens
of Cordova free gratis for nothing, it
has the old forty-rod kiss of our
childhood days backed up a tree with
the ladder broke. They “kissed and
their mouths met!” Um-m-m. It
sounds good, doesn’t it? If their
mouths had never met also think of
the disaster to future generations yet
unborn. If one Cordova kiss causes
a million ecstatic desires to creep up
your spinal column what would hap
pen if a bargain lot could be secured
with the war tax paid.
We give it up. Our imagination
covers a wide latitude but the Cor
dova salutation, chaste though it may
be is too exclitng for a man with a
weak heart. Old age creeps upon us
and tasteB have changed. Kissing at
sixty Is not like kissing at sweet six
teen. The trimmings are lacking. A
dose of physic and an hour's work
with a hoe will cure all desires for
death in the Cordovan fashion and
bring on the same ecstatic symptoms.
When that last mad moment de
scribed in meter by the Cordova peo
tress comes to our readers we beg
them to don a flue mask and seek the
castor oil bottle. Kissing has its com
pensation and its thrills but it takes
a torrid temperament and Cordova
climate to bring out the synchronous
vibrations.—Valdes Miner.
I Tough Boots for 1
Tough Jobs 1
Whether you’re felling timber, pros- |
pecting, or fishing, there’s a Goodrich i
Boot that will carry you farther and E
last you longer than any other you i
can buy in Alaska. t
It’s not made like other boots—its 1
different, made IN ONE SINGLE |
PIECE with a sole tough as a tire ^
tread that you’ll never need to half sole. |
In this ad we show only one style of |
Goodrich Footwear—the Brown |
Driver. Possibly you could use the I
knee-high White Short, the 9-inch |
Lehigh or the White Hip to better 1
advantage. You’ll find Goodrich |
“Hi-Press” prices no higher than for |
ordinary boots —and Goodrich will g
last you twice as long. 1
