THE STORY OF A KISS.
A Vienna Student Who Said the Wrong

A Vienna Student who Said the Wrong
Thing at the Wrong Time
Vienna Letter in New York Recorder.
The following story goes far to provo that
the Austrian capital has learned judges
who are as eXpeGient as a Cadi of Bagdad
in solving the difficult problems that come
mp before them. 1t was young student
named Bler0gger, who. returning home at

"all the poetry of his nature called into
play by the enchanting apparition of q
blooming maiden of nineteen summers
walking toward him in the street." Unable
to resist the temptation he snatched
kiss and found himself in the arms of =
policeman, and. next morning, demure and
sober. he was brought up before the judge.
The court was in q genial mood, and,
doubtless having once been student him.
self, he played the part of counsel for the
defendant and addressed the young lady,
conciliatingly. thus:
Judge-The defendant was jovial and excited,
and he now admits he was at fault. Won't you
forgive him for having kissed youl
Plaintiff-Pm not vindietive but I want 10
guldens damages about $5).
Judge-Ten guldens for kssl
Plantiff-Yes. must now leave my lodgings
on account OF the scandal, and 10 guldens is not
too much.
Judge-Bu the defendant is only student.
and therefore not O man of means. The sum you
demand would be great loss to person in his
position.
Here the unfortunate student, who was the
picture of misery, put In O word for himself:
"Do think 1t over, miss. You must feel that IL
l had been in my sober senses nothing In the
world would have ever induced me to kiss you
No, not If lived for hundred years.
Plaintiff-Why, this Is fresh insult, almost as
bad as the first!
Defendant tdisconcerted)-o I-didn't mean
that; indeed, would k-I mean wouldn't, that
Is. I-I-haven't the audacity to kiss any yonng
lady. Otherwise, 1 would willingly-that is, in
fact
Plaintiff Oh. of course, that is different. Well,
I'll take 3 guldens.
The Judge seemed to think guldens too
high price to pay for q kiss. but the money
and plaintiff and defendant smllingly ap-
preached each other, and left the court
chatting gayly together.

leave it to each district to decide as to the
sale of lquor within it's area, would not
impose upon any district the obligation to
close the public houses on Sunday il the
majority of its Inhabitants were in favor
of keeping them open.

A natural result of the increasing resort
of workingmen To strikes has been the in
crease of precautions on the part of en-
ployers against the voseible loss which al
ways hangs over them from that cause.
We believe that the 'strike clause" is
now found in nearly all large contracts
where the employment of labor on large
scale IL involved. and we know that bust
ness men are carefully guarding them
selves against suits for breach of contract
caused by strikes. Thus it ia q growing
practice with manufacturers to print
onspicuoHsly on their letter-heads:
I'VE do not guarantee prompt deliv-
cry In case of strikes" It's obvious that
these precautions in so far rob strik-
ers of q part of their power. They have
often carried thor point with employers
who saw n less money loss in conceding
their demands, even when unreasonable,
than in making themselves liable for delay
on their contracts. Safegnarded at this
point. they are IN much better position to
make a trial of strength with their en-
ployes on even terms.
