iv a Young man and the girl to whom
he was betrothed bet 300 francs that
they could kiss 10000 times in ten
hours. provided they could be al
lowed to take glass Of wine "be-
tween" Two persons were pointed I
"a committee to count the kisses and
the work began. Daring the first
hour they counted 1000. During the .
second hour the kisses were not al. .
ready as numerous. for the committee
only counted 1000. After the third
hour. during which they managed to
score but 80. further operations
we're brough, to sudden standstill. |
The lips Of the young man were
seized with a sudden cramp. and he |
was carried of in fainsing condition. !
The girl. in q few days. was seized !
with brain fever. which nearly carried
her of to land where kissing in any
form is unknown. When the people !
who had Won the bet demanded their
money the parents Of the girl refused
to paw their share of it. The matter
Wa then taken to the courts, and
