STUDENT AnJ MAID.
A Compromiss as to the Value of a Kiss
 Taken by Stealth.

Taken by Stealth.
 One of the viennese judges was To gently called upon to determine, in guldens and kreutzers. the value of kiss snatched by an industrious young student of philosophy from n pretty young needlewoman at the early hour of o'clock in the morn ing.
 The youthful philosopher. who re- ioices in the significant namc of Rierogger. had passed an examinar ton in psychology the day before, and had made merry with his friends all the night in honor of the occar sion. On his return home at 6 o'clock in the morning all the poetry of his nature was called into play by the enchanting apparition of a blooming maiden of nineteen summers walking toward him in the street
 Although his look and gait chal- lenged a comparison with St An thony, of Egypt, his powers of resist ing temptation were sadly defective. He snatched one fond kiss. and was then taken up by the prosaic police man on duty and prosecuted by the young lady In court he looked as demure as e nun and as pcnitent as an ancholite, so that the judge played the part of counsel for the defendant. although 1t was really civil suit for damages The court first addressed the young lady, and said:
 ''The defendant was jovial and ex- cited, and he now admits he was at fault. Won't you forgive him for having kissed youi"
 Plaintiff-Tm not vindictive, but l want ten glldens damages tsbout one poun6.
 Judge-Ten guldens for @ kissi
 Plaintiff-Yes. l must now leave my lodgings on account of the scan dal. and ten guldens is not too much. Judge-But the defendant is only student, and therefore not a man of means. The sum you demand would be a great loss to a person in his position.
 Here the unfortunate student, who was the picture of misery, put in a word for himself. Do you think il over, miss. You must feel that if l had been in my sober senses nothing in the world would have ever in duced me to kiss you. No, not If lived for hundred yearsl"
 PIaintiff-Why, this Is fresh in salt, almost as bad as the firstl
 Defendant (disconcerteD Oh. L. didn't mean that; indeed l would k l mean l wouldn't, that is, l. I-haven't the audacity to kiss any young lady. Otherwise would will ingly-that is, in fact
 Plaintiff-Oh, of course that is diff ferent. Well, I'll take five guldens
 The judge seemed to think five guldens too. high price to pay for kiss, but the money was at once pa'' down, the case dismissed and plain tiff and defendant smlingly left tho court chatting gsrly together. Cor | City Resolution, Nos l4.
