KISSING THE BIG GIRLS,
A Teachers Methods which Have stirred

Up Trouble in a Hoosier school.
Lebanon Qnd. } Dispatch to the Chicago Times
There's trouble in a Marion township dis
trict school in this county. The teacher, q
young man, is on his fourth year in that dis
trict. but it will probably be his last there. He
has been kissing the big girls The girls don't
object-that is, as long as the kissing is equally
distributed. But there's where the trouble
comes in. Last Friday morning. by some
strange fatality. he missed one of the girls;
that is to say, he missed kissing her, and she
went on o strike. She gave away the whole
''snap" to her mamma, and now the deuce
is to pay.
The whole district is in an uproar. The
parents refuse to send their daughters to school
another day, and one of the trustees has petit
young mans certificate. The young man is
going to fight. He has employed counsel who
will try to convince the superintendent that a
good square honest kiss properly planted on a
pair of pretty lips is no offense against the
peace and dignity of the state and the statute
in such case made and provided.
He will file a demurrer or enter plea of con-
fession and avoidance. or whatever the proper
thing is. and if he rises to the occasion in his
appeal for justice il is safe 10 say he will para
lyze the court. overcome the jury, and distress
the janitor. When the case is closed its history
may be called "a New Version of the Hoosier
Schoolmaster."

One of the latest absurdities of the day il the
manner in which young schoolgirls, from If
teen to seventeen, are allowed 10 emulate their
elder sisters in INDUCING in social dissipations
During the recent season there have not only
been dancing classes but also private cotillons
and dinner..parties given for children who should
either be asleep or IN the nursery. II dinners

when they really are introduced into society?
Ii Is no wonder that some Of the debutantes Of
the last few seasons have been found 70 be well
yersed in the ways of the world. and ready TO
go quite as far as their elders, when il is con-
sidered that the bloom OF maidenly freshness
has been taken of at innumerable cotillons,
dances. sleighing parties and dinners. Mothers
would do well TO refuse TO allow their daughters
SO much social liberty while they are ut school.
for they will find if this continues that their
buds" when presented to full-grown society
lack the nameless charm that ingenuousness
alone gives to young girls.

why Does Woman Seek Improvement.

From the New lork Truth.
1t is a difficult question to decide whether
women seek TO improve themselves for the sake
of the effect it may have on men or simply for
their own pleasure. More particularly do you
find this poser when you learn for the hrst
time that there are upward Of twenty of the
best-known bellies of New York who are taking
lessons in skirt dancing. This statement sounds
incredible. but il Is q fact. Exactly what use

Oh. But She Was Just Married.

for he might have brought his wife with him.
But how does Mr.. Moody know fhat2 Perhaps
