There would seem to be sort OF misappropri-

COumbier cowh1dlng affair in Paris the other day
which, 1t will be remembered, grew out of the fact
that the notorious French actress had been satlr-

TO US that the Great American Snowman Is the per-

The PipestOne Reservation.
81. Paul Pioneer Pres.

q. raul 1lO0eer Press.
Maj. Ridpath, agent at the Yank
ton Agency, was at Pipestone City
on w ednesday to look over the situa-
ton on the reservation. He says that
ever since the first invasion Of the
sacred land of tradition made by Mr..
Goodnow and others a few months
ago there has been a spirit of uneasi-
ness among the KantOn tribe under
his command, and at times so demon
strative did they become that he
feared an outbreak. Time after time
the Indian police have implored the
Major to let them come to PipestOne
and clear the reservation by the aid
OF the torch, and thus show the whites
that the rights of the Indian could not
be thus, trampled upon. After an
Indian policeman had visited the
reservation and made a report the
redskins were wilder than ever, but
finally agreed that the Major should
GO to Washington and consult with
the great father, and that his decision
should be final. The Major went to
Washington, and on his way back
dropped into Pipestone, as stated
above, and had with him papers from
the great father ordering him to clear
the reservation of all white settlers,
and any and all improvements they
may have made. The major served
notice upon Mr.. Goodnow, H w.
George. and L. FL. Moore, to vacate;
and if not off by the time he returned
from YanktOn, which would be in
the course of ten or fifteen days, he
would have the necessary force with
him to eject them summarily. Good
now and George say they will not
move.

And yet here is pretty Marysville
girl, with lips like luscious cherries
and eyes like stars, and with ROSY
tinted face where bushes pale and
fever like dreams of bliss, selling her
kisses at two bits dozen. 1t is moth
ing less than positive crime. 1t is
like selling diamonds at ten cents a
bushel. Why kiss in the Marys-
vile market is valued at less than
beefstak, while here in San Francisco
they are actually worth their weight
IN gold. If the products of the coun-
try are undervalued in this way,
what will become of the great indus
tries of the State? The next thing we
hear hug will only be held at bit a
squeeze. Such things are worse than
agrarianism. 1t is cheapening tie
most delightful Iuxuries we have in
life.

Kisses for Revenue Only.
San Francisco Letter.

The Appeal tells Us of a Marysville
girl who is deriving quite a lucrative
revenue from the sale of kisses at two
bits a dozen:
''It is reported" says the Appeal,
dozen, and that her receipts were Sill
%. At regular rates she should have
had $1175, but she sold one job lot
of twelve dozen for 1920: which ac-
counts for the discrepancy. It is
limited that in addition to these re-
ceipts one devoted admirer has pre-
vailed on her to make a special con-
tract after the fashion adopted by the
railroad company, under the terms Of
which, and Ia consideration of his do
ing all his kissing with her, he is
charged much less than the, regular
schedule rates. It appears that this
osculatory traffic has been going on
for months past without the knowl-
edge Of any person except those i'm
mediately concerned, the practici-
pants being pledged to secrecy. But
an inquisitive little sister has peeped
into the pretty girl diary and seen
the scores entered IN the back of the
book. Now the secrets out and lots
of girls are inquiring at the book
stores for diaries.
The only thing that really amazes US
in this statement is the extraordinary
cheapness of the dainty At that
price they are more economical than
sugar-plums. and all must confess
that. as CONNECTIONS, kisses are the
most desirable article. In fact, for
its size, kiss is the sweetest thing in
the market; and to waste commerce
upon market like Marysville, where
the buyers have no more appreciation
of the value of the article than is
indicated by the beggarly price Of two
bits a dozen, is a downright shame:
In San Francisco those kisses would
command 81 apiece, and they could
be sold by the dozen too. But 1t IS
always the case. The owner Of a
really valuable discovery never
knows its value until the novelty
and charm are worn away. Only a
short time ago a young lady IN an
Eastern State got $4,000 for kiss.

Drawing for Seats in Congress.

When the order for the drawing of
seats was reached and the House was
cleared for a ''new deal, F." Judge Kel-
ley, on the republican side, and Mr..
Cox and Mr. Robinson, Of New York,
ON the democratic side, left their hats
upon their old desks to intimate their
desire to retain their places against
the preferences of all persons who
might be fortunate enough to be drawn
before them Mr. Robinson is very
deaf and sat last session in the front
row of seats, by the courtesy of the
majority. Mr.. Duncan, of Alabama,
won the first choice and Mr.. COx's
name was drawn second. He was APP
plauded for his good luck and took
seat opposite to his old one, on the
aisle next to the center aisle. A groupe
of Ohio members, including Judge E.
B. Taylor, General Garfield's success
sor, and J. D. Taylor and Mr. McKin-
ley, obtained their old seats. Mr. Ran
dali, Mr.. Blackburn, Mr.. Morrison
and Mr.. Geddes secured seats close to
each other and near the center of the
democratic side Of the House. The
good fortune that usually attends Mr..
Ochiltree did not fail him this time.
He came in early and selected a seat
on the center aisle, where his radiant
head will be shining mark for the
eyes of all visitors during the sessions
of the Forty-eighth Congress. Mr. Kel-
ley's hat was not removed from his
desk, and he secured his old place. Mr.
Robinson was not SO fortunate. One
of his party associates, who desired a
front seat and who was drawn long
before Mr.. Robinson, lived up to his
privilege and compelled the Fenian
orator and valiant twister of the Brit
ish lions tail to take a seat in the out
er row, where he will probably hear
little that is said for the next two
winters. The gigantic Dorsheimer
was also unfortunate. He had to take
a back seat. The democratic majority
is so large in this Congress, that it is
necessary to seat some of the members
of that party on the republican side.
It thus happened that among others,
Mr. Hewitt, Mr.. Lefevre, Mr. Finerty,
Mr. Springer, Mr.. Hurd, Mr.. Belmont,
Gen. Slocum, and Mr. Holman, the
Suns plain but amiable candidate for
President, were forced by fortune to
take places among their political OPP
ponents. Mr.. Holman found an OBJ

ANOTHER Egyptian force has been
annihilated by the followers Of the
False Prophet Eight hundred ne
groes and Bashi-Bazouks were attack
ed near Suakin, the I'd inst, by 5000
Kabbabish Bedouins. This fight lasted
but twenty minutes. The Bashi-Ba-
zouks were all put to death as were
all the negroes who refused to declare
for Ell Mahdi The artillery of the
Egyptian force now belongs to the
conquering hordes from Soudan who
are swarming into Upper Egypt, where
they find ready sympathizers and cas-
lily make converts to the principles of
the Mahdi. The native Egyptian
forces are utterly unable to with
stand the advance Of the victorious
legions of the new Messiah of Islam.

mon cause with the conquerors, and
