OFFICIAL PAPER OF LYON COUNTY
Published everv Saturday morning, by
JOHN M. CAMPBELL,
HOW TO KISS.
The Way II is Done in Milwaukee

The way IL ~ Done In milwaukee.
The Milwaukee Sun says: Read
ers of the daily papers have no doubt
read of a suit that has been brought
by Rosa Van Dieman against Adolph
Theles, claiming $1,000 damages.
The claim for damages is the result
of kiss the defendant is alleged to
have inflicted on the plaintiff on
Winnebago street against the peace
and dignity of the City of Mllwau-
kee and the State of Wisconsin. 1t
is said in the complaint that che
then and there did seize plaintiff by
the shoulders, put his arm around
her neck, and did then and there
kiss her." The plaintiff adds that
by reason of said act she was great
ly hurt in her feelings, and suffered
and underwent great mental pain.
In order to set Milwaukee right
before the world and do all that is
possible to preven a feeling that our
people are too particular about lit
tie thing like kiss, and make more
fuss than is necessary, and undergo
pain and have their feelings burt,
we will say that this Is an isolated
case. People who desire to come
here from the country to be kissed
or kiss, need have no fears of being
sued for s., 900 damages. . 1t my be well
enough to keep OIL Winnebago street,
but there are other streets where
people are kissed frequently, and
this is the first lawsuit about it that
has come up. There are plenty OF
ladies who do not have their feelings
hurt and endure mental pain because
some one kisses them. II every
kiss that exploded in Milwaukee
caused feelings TO be hurt, there
would be the worst lot of feelings
lying around loose that ever was.
There are people here that instead
OF suing for damages over kiss
would be willing to pay half the ex-
pense.
However, some judgement should
be shown by the defendant. He
should not seize the plaintiff by the
plaintiff by the shoulder and put
his arm around her neck. He
should take her right hand in his
left and press it gently, no squeeze il
as though he was n clothes wringer,
and mash all the blood out of her
fingers, but inst press it little so as
to ieel the throbbing cf the blood.
Then he should look down into her
eyes to see If they are talking to him.
II the eyes seem to be dancing the
racket, and begin to sprakle and
from a telegraph machine, end the
suuozen hand retaliates a little, and
seems to be glad that 1t is there, and
acts as though 1t wanted to stay all
fall, then you can take your other
hand and gently enciIcle her waist.
DO not seize her by the shoulders as
the man in the law suit did, and
cause her feelings to be hnrt, but let
the arm act as corset. Then her
left arm will steal around by tho
buckle on the back OF your vest,
and 1t is your turn to look down and
see where her mouth is all tins time.
There will be a smile there that is
worth $4,000, and you will hate to
break 1t up, but you will have to.

anght to bend over little, and her
eyes will close as though she was
going to sleep, her head falls on your
shirt bosom, the end of the world
comes, and
Well, as we were saying, it is a
discredlt to Milwaukee to have such
case go to the courts, AS people Will
lose confidence in Milwaukee. But,
leaving Wlnnebago street out en-
urely, there are streets enough for
all practical purposes, and there are
people who will resent the imputa.
ton that it is necessary to carry S5,-
900 in ones pocket IN order to enjoy
any religion in town of 100000
OF the God blessedest inhabitants
that ever lived. The papers should
not say anything about that law suit,
az it will injure Milwaukee as
great manufacturing center.
